Ready to FCUK? French Connection revives their iconic t-shirt and we’re back in the 90s
We flirted with 70s suede and flared trousers in 2015 but our heart truly belongs to another decade.
Ever since Clueless tuned 20, we’ve been obsessed with all things 90s.
The news of an Ab Fab movie had us grabbing the Bolly, we couldn’t be any more excited over the (partial) Friends reunion and when Balmain brought back the original supermodels (Claudia, Cindy and Naomi), our inner 90s child couldn’t handle it.
It’s fair to say we’ve regressed and we’re okay with that.

This Tumblr shows the reality of gender imbalance in the advertising industry
There are loads of industries known for having an absolutely rubbish balance of male and female employees. Science. Engineering. Finance.
As a result, initiatives have been developed to get young girls interested in careers that simply didn’t seem open to them before. And this is a wonderful thing.
But there are some industries whose gender imbalance goes a little unnoticed.
Drawing our attention to this discrepancy in the world of advertising agencies is a Tumblr called Too Many Guys, One Girl.

Whether you’ve been in London for a year or a decade, one thing is undeniably true: until you’re a grumpy sod who fiercely despises the general public, you’re not a real Londoner.
Yes, Londoners can be lovely. We’re supportive, kind, hilarious, and friendly.

19 people share the worst way they were dumped
Is there really such a thing as a good breakup?
We doubt it.
Sure, you could mutually agree that the relationship just isn’t working anymore, and have a mature, honest conversation about why each of you deserve better things.
But seriously. When has THAT ever happened?
Breakups suck. They’re uncomfortable, always done a few weeks (or months) after they should be been, and will inevitably leave someone entirely miserable and crying into a glass of wine.
But next time you go through the ‘it’s just not working’ chat, breathe a sigh of relief that you’re not these people, who are sharing their stories of the worst way they’ve ever been broken up with on Reddit.

A little girl is collecting 1,000 Barbies for 1,000 children in care or homeless
Gianni Graham is an amazing nine-year-old girl from Norfolk, Virginia.
At Christmas, when she received two Barbies from her family, she wasn’t thinking about what she was going to name them or how she might dress them.
Instead, she thought about how lucky she was to receive wonderful gifts – and how awful it was that so many children would be going without at what was meant to be a happy occasion.

Southern Rail train driver cheers up London commuters with train quiz (and even sings the music round)
It takes a lot to cheer up a grumpy London commuter on their way to work, but one Southern Rail driver is doing it, thanks to his morning train quizzes.
The driver even inspired a hashtag yesterday – #timetunneltrain – after he gave his passengers a trivia quiz over the tannoy system. And, best of all, he sang the music round.
Apparently, it was a ‘guess the year’ quiz and commuters were invited to post their answers on Twitter with the hashtag to help kill time on the way to work.

We’ve fallen in love with these adorable Munchkin cats
It turns out there’s a breed of cat which is 10 times more adorable than any other breed you’ll see.
The Munchkin cat.
Yep, it’s as cute as it sounds.
The Munchkin is a small to medium-sized cat weighing 5 to 9 pounds. They have short legs, and can have either a short or a long coat, of any colour and pattern.
Their dwarfed physique is down to a spontaneous natural mutation which does not hinder any parts of life for them nor does it effect them in any other way than being a little shorter (and cuter) than other cats.
They need to be kept indoors to protect them from cars and diseases spread by other cats. And regardless of their size, they can live for 13 years or longer.
