This autumn, let ASOS take your wardrobe on a trip down under with emerging Australian brands One Teaspoon and stylestalker. Both of these relatively young labels draw inspiration from international street style and culture. Pushing the boundaries of rock and roll glamour, each brand has a grungy but feminine appeal, or, as One Teaspoon put it - "the epitome of rebellious cool." Pretty floral and romantic lace numbers are set off with leather and stud details, each of these collections has something to satisfy every inner bad girl... enjoy! More on the reverse.

It’s that time of the year again where the streets of West London come to life. Indeed, Notting Hill Carnival rarely disappoints  and this year promises to be no different. The annual event spills onto the capital's streets every bank holiday Monday in August, as well as the day before, and is the biggest multicultural festival in Europe with more than 1,000,000 people attending last year. The carnival offers everything you would expect from the Caribbean culture: colourful costumes, exotic food, and traditional dance. More on the reverse.

What would you do if you could control your dreams? Well, one Kickstarter project that has already been funded claims that it can encourage lucid dreaming, which is a dream whereby the sleeper is aware that he/she is dreaming. The sleep mask-like device, known as Remee, recognises when the wearer is experiencing rapid eye movement (REM) - a stage of sleep where dreams are said to be most vivid. It then triggers lucidity by flashing red lights “that are not bright enough to wake you up, but will appear as visual anomalies in your dreams” and as a result, alerts you that you’re dreaming.

I have spent the last month observing Ramadan, the holiest month of the Islamic calendar whereby Muslims refrain from eating/drinking during daylight hours. As an avid gym-goer, the abstinence of food and water meant that exercising, especially weight training, was out of the question – believe me, I have tried and have found it to be counterproductive. Yesterday, however, I embarked on the long process of getting back into shape. The best thing about living a healthy lifestyle is that it teaches you disciplines which can be applied to all aspects of life. More on the reverse.

I’m not too sure what category this falls under, but nonetheless it’s a pretty cool concept. I’m forever losing cutlery (the good kind) and since I’m always on the go, I often find myself short of a utensil or two. As for disposable cutlery, well, they’re not really environmentally friendly, are they? The Dine-ink Pen Utensil Set by ZO-loft hopes to be to be the solution to such woes, by allowing you to convert your pens into ready-to-use cutlery. More on the reverse.

Tomorrow will mark exactly one week since the London 2012 Olympics closing ceremony. Much of the buzz surrounding the Games involved creating a legacy or as Seb Coe likes to put it, inspiring a generation. I definitely support London’s decision to host Olympics; never have I seen the capital brimming with such pride and culture – a far cry from where we were just one year ago! However, in times of austerity, we must also remember that the Games were more than just a sporting event - they were a £12bn investment that promised to help boost our economy. The reason why I’m bringing this up now is because I recently came across some disturbing photos which depict derelict and abandoned Olympic sites belonging to former hosts. Some are even as recent as the 2008! More on the reverse.
