If anyone can show us how to do the walk of shame in style, it’s Mr Marc Jacobs. At the Louis Vuitton Autumn/Winter 2013 show, models stepped out of the boudoir and onto the catwalk in printed silk pyjamas and sensual lace chemise slips with mannish overcoats in tweed and plaid thrown carelessly over the bedroom attire. If you’re stumbling home after a night on the tiles, this is what to wear..

Trying something new and shaking up the routine makes us feel reinvigorated and inspired about life - and ourselves. Often it seems that we focus on talking about giving things up - rather than thinking about challenging ourselves and doing something different or new. It’s easy to tell people that you’re going to do something - but the distance between stating your intention and actually DOING IT can seem like a stretch.
Writing poetry, brushing up your French, reading more (rather than crashing out in front of whatever’s on the stupid box) or starting to run regularly - how about if there was an easy, no-commitment way to do something new?

Directed by brothers Paolo and Vittorio Taviani, the film features actual inmates of Rome’s Rebibbia prison rehearsing for a performance of a play about “the noblest Roman of them all’ - Julius Caesar.

“I wondered the other day. Does anyone still have friends not using an iPhone 5? Judging children’s abilities by standardised exams denies them their unique individuality and the expression of their culturally distinct identities. The problem is that we’re always competing instead of working together.”
