Hair curtains, hair sculptures, unfathomable beards and tangles of plaited locks make their way into Hair 'em Scare 'em, the definitive - and possibly only - book of hair-related aesthetic design. A wonderful mix of beautifully crafted styles, this book collates hairy images in a bid to celebrate its medium in all kinds of art. We think it's going to make a wonderful gift for anybody with a love for their locks!
Because we're incurable style junkies, we've been poring over the images from the couture shows which are taking place in Paris right now. And when we saw the latest collection from John Galliano at Dior, we swooned! Then we got inspired and went hunting for these beyond-cute flower rings from Freedom. They're massive and bejewelled and their candy colours are so perfect for SS10. We're going to be wearing ours with pretty fabrics and perfectly polished nails for an ultimate hit of new season style!
We were in the mood for bit of culture so decided to take a stroll down to the If You Could Collaborate exhibition and indulge our artistic side. This year, the organisation took the very best in design talent and gave them a year-long brief to create something 'a little unexpected'.
Through working with one another, the artists involved aim to explore different approaches to the creative process, ultimately coming up with multi-faceted visual pieces.
We immediately fell in love with the Rob Ryan and Michael Marriott chair, screen printed with the words, 'Let's not do anything from now on unless it's fun,' and were just plain baffled by the girl wearing a bale of hay - a trend for spring/summer perhaps?
We're putting ourselves on the waiting list for some Four Dimensional Glasses and are still totally awestruck by the detailing in HelloVon and Timothy Saccenti's beautiful illustration. Take a look at the website and tell us what you think. We can't wait for next year's show!

We've been having a little think about last year and the songs that made it what it was. Whether we were chilling out in the park to a bit of Laura Marling, dancing like crazy to the sounds of Florence or getting all hot and bothered at Friendly Fires, our speakers were never silent! After much careful consideration we've compiled the albums we'll be buying in 2010.
Could we have found the best idea in the world? Feast your eyes on this, the absolute last word in keeping fit and looking awesome.
Disco Health Club uses dance combinations inspired by video-health-supremos Jane Fonda and Olivia Newton-John, encourages wild 80s dress-up, and employs a DJ to spin Wham and Cyndi Lauper into your aerobically toned ears.
Think leg warmers and metallic spandex, sweat-bands and above all, of having a great time while you exercise. We'd definitely recommend grabbing a ticket! They're selling out fast.
Post-health-boost you can sup drinks of your choice and watch as the class turns into a raving disco. The perfect opportunity to throw your new moves on the dance floor or watch other people attempting to do the same.
We're all for keeping healthy and having a good time, and we never turn down an opportunity to have a laugh at our own expense. Come join us next Wednesday - we’re totally hooked!
Take a peek of what you're in for here... and be prepared to be 'wowed' by the amazing instructor in her spandex leotard!
