Agenda: Little Nikki; Ugg ear-muffs-cum-headphones; Domingo Milella; Jo Malone crackers; Claire Danes crying

Face to watch: Little Nikki

No, not the terrible Adam Sandler film, but 16-year-old Brit Nikki Shortland. Her debut single "Intro Intro" (out on 5 December) features Azealia-esque attitude, grime synths and even a rave siren. Watch your back, Rihanna.

Fashion: Go to work on an Ugg

You might have had your fill of their boots but let it not be said that Ugg is a one-trick pony. Or should that be sheep?

Stay warm, look cool – and do it all to the soundtrack of your choosing. £75, Ugg, my-wardrobe.co.uk

Forget Booking your holiday last minute; the savviest jet-setters do things last second. Blink Booking offers the four best unsold hotel rooms in your chosen city that night, 40 per cent cheaper than online. See, contrary to Tom Hodgkinson's experience (page 3), being disorganised can pay dividends. Free, iTunes store

Photography: Domingo Milella

The Italian snapper's first solo exhibition explores memory and landscape from Mesopotamia to Mexico City through eerie caves and deserted cities. Friday to 26 January, Brancolini Grimaldi gallery, London W1

Beauty: Jo Malone crackers

Forget novelty screwdrivers and degrading paper hats, and treat the ladies at your Christmas table to a mini selection of Jo Malone products. Lame gags not included. £28 each, jomalone.com

Web: Claire Danes crying

Who's got the best "crying face" in Hollywood? This video montage of the Homeland star's weepy scenes settles that debate once and for all. And the Oscar for best chin wobble goes to…
