Fred Flare have now opened their very own shop in Brooklyn appropriately called Store Cute and by Joe does it look super fly. You can even get a virtual tour of their shop on their site; can someone send us on a plane to NY now pleasssse?!!!
Number 3: The Donut Fest
As you are probably aware, here at Lazy Oaf we are pretty much obsessed with donuts! Jerry and Alex were even treated to a selection of special ones with faces (thanks to a grand bakery on the Essex Road) for our birthday's! So when we saw Fred Flare had a entire Donut Fest our hearts skipped a beat. Keith set himself the massive challenge of going without sweet things for the whole of September but something tells us he just wouldn't have been able to resist these delicious rings of sugary wonder.
Number 4: The Art
The name Fred Flare actually derived from Fred Astaire as Chris and Keith believe that design should be an entertaining as an old musical. Well they have definitely kept to their word as the site is rammed full of eye candy. Our most recent favourite was the illustration contributed by fellow Brit and friend of Lazy Oaf Gemma Correll who drew new Fred Flare employee Bee in an outifit for every day of the week.
Recognise the jumper on the top left?
Number 5: Charlie the Cat
Here at Lazy Oaf we would kill to have an office pet so when we saw that Fred Flare have their own fluffy white kitty we were major jealous. And Charlie the cat is not just a pretty face oh no, he even writes his own blogs; his most recent one pays homage to the 13 year old fashion icon Tavi.
So thank you FF for continuing to fill our lunch breaks with so so much joy and there is a lot more to come no doubt.
