from pretty shiny things to panties in the post, we've got it all this month.
 anarchy in the ikea.
there are a couple of swedes collectively known as jimmie martin who've taken a step away from the natural blondes to finally produce quirky, yet chic, design pieces. their east end workshop is not the only place to get the ironic antiques, the range is now available at liberty. regent street. W1B. 020.7734.1234. www.jimmiemartin.co.uk
 mini midi plexi.
be prepared to be stopped in the street by strangers asking where you got your necklace. that's what they do when you wear laila aitken's jewellery. the bold, plexiglass and swarovski crystal pieces are a must for the jewellery-addicted. erickson beamon. 38 elizabeth street. SW1W. 020.7259.0202. www.lailafashion.com
 in pictures.
hollywood's steven berkoff was a photographer before becoming an actor (he's best known for playing the villain in octopussy). his pictures of brick lane in the 60s and 70s (one pictured left) recently caught the eye of über-designer paul smith. the result?

 ice queen.
summertime is ice cream time, and skinny cow is your new best friend. the low-fat real-fruit smoothie lollies are only 71 calories, but if you walk that extra mile you may as well feast on a toffee & honeycomb stick at 95 cals. www.skinnycow.co.uk
