Fashion: Why guys will go Gaga for MFP

Cult jewellery designer Maria Francesca Pepe is loved by edgy celebs for her statement, hand-crafted pieces – Lady Gaga and Rihanna are both fans. Her latest collection, featuring spiked ear cuffs, 1990s-style crucifix hoops and avant-garde chokers, performs way above its price point (around the £100 mark). And in case the boys feel left out, she's just launched MFP-MAN with studded chains and chunky rings for fashion-conscious (read: brave) guys. MFP is available at kabiri.co.uk

Face to watch: Lewis Watson

He's only 19 and recorded his debut EP with the help of his music teacher, but singer-songwriter Lewis Watson has already sold out his tour, which starts on Friday. His big word-of-mouth following could make him the next Ben Howard

Web: Mad boozing

An obsessive Mad Men fan has put together every drinking scene from the show into one jazzy montage. No need to get the DVD of series five which comes out on 29 October, then. Whiskey, anyone? bit.ly/ShXzYg

Film: Doctor Faustus

A chance to catch the Globe's performance of Marlowe's masterpiece on the big screen with Arthur Darvill (Rory from Doctor Who) as Mephistopheles. He obviously has a thing about doctors. In selected cinemas, Wednesday

TV: Girls

Here's one much-talked-about TV show that lives up to the hype for once, not least because it's a sitcom that's actually funny. Even if you're not a twentysomething Brooklynite. Starts tomorrow, Sky Atlantic
