Wolf lady grrrrr im scared, she’s a little bit dribbly but actually really cute. I want one…as a pet maybe! It comes in white and black for whichever takes your fancy.
If you are anything like us and nautical obsessed then you will love Lady Sailor. Pop on the hat too just to prove the point! Eye eye sailor.
This swallow shirt is rather great but be careful real birdies don’t come and sit on your shoulder as these little guys are cool as! It comes in green and hot pink both are super duper.

we love new badges
At Lazy Oaf Towers, we certainly have our fingers on the popular music pulse, and after a hectic week in the studio, we thought what better way to wind down than a groovy kind of night out at a Phil Collins tribute gig?
We donned our all-in-one spandex jumpsuits, crimped our hair, and danced into the light, with a pineapple daiquiri in one hand and a zippo in the other, to some of our all time favourite Phil Collin’s classics, including the number one hit, Another Day in Paradise. We certainly were in Paradise!
But at approximately 7.38pm, disaster struck. While enjoying a particularly energetic rendition of ‘Easy Lover’, I had the misfortune to slip up on a rogue frankfurter, which I can only imagine had escaped from the delicious finger buffet that was on offer.
As I struggled to get back on my feet (which was no easy task in my sling back stilettos), I was amazed to see my all time favourite 80s magician, dashing over to my rescue. Yes! You got it! My knight in shining armour was none other than Paul Daniels, complete with 3 sponge balls, a pack of ordinary playing cards and the beautiful, Debbie McGeeeeeee! I couldn’t help but think to myself, ‘Now that’s magic!’
After slyly exchanging numbers with Paul, and sharing beauty tips with Debbie, I headed straight to the bar, ordering another round of daiquiris using the change Paul had extracted from my ear, just before he pulled a rabbit out of his bottom.
After 18 more cocktails, we impressed some young men on the dance floor with some extreme lunges, accompanied by the sweet melody of ‘In the Air Tonight’. But horror of horrors, on one particularly deep lunge, Katie spotted a severed rock arm lying underneath a bar stool.
Quick as a flash, Gemma wrapped up the tattooed limb in a novelty print paper napkin, and deposited it in her leopard spot handbag, to use as design inspiration back in the studio.
Shortly after our gruesome discovery, we were asked to leave, due to Sarah hijacking the microphone and MCing along to Sussudio.
All in all, a successful night out- Gemma found some great material for the new collection, I have a Valentine’s date with Paul Daniels, Shevonne won the ‘Groovy Kinda Lunge’ competition, Sarah has found a drinking partner in Debbie McGee and Alex has shunned cider for daiquiris. Katie is still recovering from shock.
You can now buy the new Lazy Oaf badge packs, inspired by this excellent night out...
'Rock on Tommy' includes the anatomically correct drawing of the severed rock arm, along with the 'Mum' heart tattoo we spotted on Paul Daniel's left buttock as he performed his rabbit trick.
'Hot Dog' features the very frankfurter that slipped me up, and a mustard and ketchup bottle I saw Ms McGee secrete into her clutch bag.
'That's Magic' is a subtle homage to Paul Daniels and that poor rabbit... We can confirm that the RSPCA have since relocated Bugsy to a bedsit in Bethnal Green, where he is being well looked after.
Also take a look at the other new sets of badge packs as they are super duper.
'Greetings' Greet your international friends by simply wearing the appropriate badge. Tres bonne!
'Fan Pack' includes Blob-heads, polka dots, smiley milk cartons… the perfect badge pack for a Lazy Oaf fan.
'B-movie' Indescribable, indestructible, NOTHING CAN STOP IT! It’s the B-Movie badge pack. Be afraid, be VERY afraid!
'Fast Food' I’d like a double-whammy-meaty burger, a large fries and a cola please… and I’d like to eat it from a black and white chequered table cloth please. Oh, AND I’d like to wear these badges while doing so.
'I Like Donuts' Mmmm…*Dribble*…donuts…
'Munch Bunch' All the ingredients for a fruit cocktail!
'Swallow Anchor' Pin on these sailor inspired brooches, and try and stop yourself saying, ‘Oooh, ‘ello sailor!’
woo hoo get pinning.

Super 7 day Sale!
This week we are holding our super seven day sale, why? I here you ask, well why the hell not. The sale starts right this very minute and finishes at 12 midnight on Wed 20th Feb so quick, quick start shopping before all the bargains get snapped up. Ahhhh!
We’ve put some pretty kick-ass Tee’s in the sale, if I do say so myself.
For you ladies we’ve marked down some of Oafette’s finest to a teeny tiny £12.50. Including suit jacket, ahoy there and lady bow. Get them all and be a trump de l’oeil queen.
For you gentlemen we’ve slashed big rainbow, umbrella and bloc party sweats to a bargainous £20. Plus heaps of others, so check them, out with your eyes.
I bet you thought that was it on the bargain front, my fellow oaf’s. Oh no, no, no. We also have the exclusive offer if you spend over £50 smackers on the sale we’ll send you a mystery tee in your size. I love surprises, it'll feel like Christmas even if it is mid Feb!
Be sure to say your size in the comment box as you go through check out, other wise it will be a complete mystery.
Our usual free postage and packaging applies to sale items as well if you live within the U.K. So it really is pure bargain heaven, you’ve got no excuse….
I think all this slashing prices has made us dizzy with excitement, as we’ve also reduced our zip hoody’s permanently down from £58 to a more pocket friendly £45.
And last but not least our snazzy lazy oaf pin brooches have been reduced from £12.50 to £8.
