Morning,

Well, I'll admit, I'm here at the shop, and not watching the Royal Wedding. We're open until 4pm today so come have a browse if you're at a loose end on your extra day off!

I was interviewed live on BBC Radio Northampton yesterday about the Wellingborough Traders Group and the town centre in general. You can listen to it on iPlayer here, just skip ahead to the 30 minute point to hear the full piece.

Pick Of The Day today is this Worn Free John Lennon New York City T-Shirt, on sale at £25.00. We only have very limited stock of this left and only in a size S so perfect for girls too! This is a fully licensed replica made by California's Worn Free of the original t-shirt John Lennon wore in New York in 1974. It's been one of our most popular Worn Free designs, so make it yours quickly!

Have a great day whatever you're doing!

Morning,

You can imagine my excitement when I returned home from a meeting with our web designer, Rich, yesterday, to find that Gossip Girl actress and singer with The Pretty Reckless, Taylor Momsen, had been photographed in the Worn Free "as worn by" John Lennon New York City t-shirt that we have in stock. A controversial figure, love her or loathe her, Ms Momsen definitely has an individual look, and that's what we're all about here at Unorthodox. We know the pieces we choose for you to peruse are awesome, it's just nice when someone famous seems to agree! The full article and shoot can be seen on MTV's site here.

Whilst I know we have already had this t-shirt as pick of the day, I think it's worth doing it again since it's getting attention! Made of 100% cotton, and fantastic quality like all the Worn Free tees, it comes with the iconic Worn Free tag showing John Lennon wearing the original in New York, 1974. For those not familiar with them, Worn Free is a California label who make fully licensed reproductions of t-shirts worn by various classic stars such as Mr Lennon, Joan Jett, Joey Ramone, Debbie Harry, Keith Moon, the list goes on. It's an original spin on the whole idea of wearing your musical tastes on your chest, and far more interesting than just another band t-shirt. We have these in a range of sizes from Small to XL, and they are priced at £32.00 each.

Off to write the legal jargon for the online shop. Minutes of fun.

Almost There

Morning,

Well, reaction to the new dresses seems positive. Thank you to everyone who has commented on our Facebook or popped in. Always good to get feedback! As always, if you can't see the size or style you are looking for, just ask! I may have it stashed away, or I may be able to get you one, or at least I know what to get more of next time!

Since I've been banging on about dresses so much, I thought I'd go with a pick of the day that may appeal to the men. This is another one of our Worn Free t-shirts. I've already gone on before about what great quality they are, how they're fully licensed replicas of t-shirts worn by icons, and how much I love them, so I won't bore you with that again. This one is 'as worn by' John Lennon. Nice, non?

In a few hours we'll be half way to the weekend, so hang on in there, people!
