Shop in the Spotlight: Lazy Oaf

I'm no stranger to Lazy Oaf's online store. Stocking stationery, accessories (like this Oyster card holder) and doughnut-shaped cushions, I'll always find something original and funny.

So when their London shop emerged from it's revamp, Domestic Slut Gail and I were there to be nosey, take pictures and decide what we'd come back and buy.

Situated just off swingin' Carnaby St, Lazy Oaf isn't particularly big but fits in perfectly with the other small and quirky shops on the street (like neighbouring Anna Lou of London). It's compact size makes it so much easier to browse and I was surprised at just how much I didn't notice on the Lazy Oaf website.

I don't know how I missed this cheeky Oaf No. 5 necklace (£14):

I love how the jewellery and accessories were displayed here. You don't see skulls wearing sunglasses very often:

How do you display colourful perspex jewellery? Why, on more colourful perspex of course!

Stationery fetishists will be pleased to note that Lazy Oaf isn't all about the jewellery - they have all the notepads, exercise books and postcards you can shake a stick at. I'm particularly fond of this card, which doesn't seem to be available online:

If you're ever around Oxford Street or in need of a unique gift, then do pop into Lazy Oaf. It's far more original than Paperchase and you're bound to find something that will make you smile.
