Claudia Bradby’s new Heritage collection is a range of celebratory necklaces, bracelets, earrings and charms in honour of the big day later this month. We think they’re quite cute and with prices starting at £36 you won’t need to find a prince to treat yourself either.

Those kooky London creatives, Lazy Oaf, have teamed up with Selfridges to bring you an exclusive new collection of sweaters and T-shirts. The colourful range is available from Selfridges nationwide as well as the Lazy Oaf site and Fouberts Place shop.

“Comprising of two unisex sweatshirts and three mens T-shirt designs, this collection follows the theme of play and is our most interactive one yet.”

The fun sweaters display a cartoony face with a zippable mouth and are available in bright blue or yellow. They’re pretty rad, to be fair.

Click on the picture to see what else is new and don’t forget to check out their great range of accessories and homewares- perfect for Christmas gifts.

Sticking to the animal theme we also love this perpex cat brooch from Lazy Oaf complete with its own little bell at £12.

Tate Modern’s amazing Turbine Hall will be taken over this Sunday…by you if you fancy a sketch. Lazy Oaf’s Let’s Face It event is inviting everyone to come along and draw their own self portraits on those epic walls.  A 7m wall will be covered with dozens of colourful pages all dying to be filled with your scribbles.  This is Tate Modern’s biggest live drawing event to date so if you love to draw get your pencils at the ready.

It won’t just be us amateurs though, live drawing from established illustrators Zeroten, Joe Baglow and Ian Stevenson will nestle together.  Despite their unique styles the bold use of shape and colour that each artist adopts is sure to make for an interesting and eccentric collection.

Turbine Hall, Tate Modern
Sunday 8 August, 11am – 5pm

We are loving Lazy Oaf’s Valentine Cards – certainly a little different from what you might pic up at Paperchase!

Some of them can be personlised so get in quick to make sure you get your’s ordered in time for next weekend.

She transformed her love of small, shiny, symbolic things into a brilliant range of necklaces and rings and more. Drawing inspiration from a range of concepts and designers, she has managed to produce her own unique range of jewellery which has caught the eye of fashionistas everywhere. With a collection that draws on traditional jewellery, such as you might find at 77Diamonds or Ernest Jones, and fuses it with bold, almost cartoon-ish designs, it’s no wonder she’s making a splash within the world of accessories. You might have even spotted a number of her pieces being sported by celebrity fans of the range.Her line of accessories have now been given a helping publicity hand, with the likes of Peaches Geldof and Sarah Harding seen out on the town with a Me and Zena of some description.

If you are feeling despondent and under-energised, perhaps Me and Zena can help you out. Not only with its quirky designs, but also with the ideology built into every item telling you not to give up on your dreams of rainbows and gold and good times in the sun.

Top picks from the current collection have to be the ‘HMS Heartache’ Ship’s Wheel Necklace. This would really work well with the current trend for anything nautical, ay ay cap’n! We also love the ‘Love & Hate’ tattoo necklace, very Amy Winehouse, and the ‘Yeah!’ chunky necklace is pretty cool too. But our favourite has to be the ‘Girls Who Like Girls’ perspex brooch, which I imagine would look a treat on Katy Perry.

The collection is all online at Lazy Oaf.
