Fashion: Victoria reigns at Harvey Nicks

Spice up your life with the latest arrival in town –Victoria by Victoria Beckham is the second, slightly more affordable line from the fashion designer and erstwhile glamourpuss, and it hits Harvey Nichols tomorrow. Not only will you find it taking over the store’s Sloane Street windows in their entirety, but an installation inside the shop will house the collection of youthful, relaxed dresses that come in bright and vibrant shades.

Face to watch: Rashida Jones

She's the daughter of Quincy, a Harvard grad, and a fab comic actress. And now she's both starring in The Muppets movie and enjoying Sundance buzz as co-writer of romcom Celeste and Jesse Forever. In the words of Fozzie Bear, Wocka Wocka!

Lexpionage: Straycation, n.

The endless quest of the independent traveller to get away from the holidaying hordes. The inevitable result: ending up in a place where you quickly discover there is a good reason why the hordes avoided it

On the radar: Because some things are still worth getting excited about...

Gifts: Valentine's vinyl prints

With 14 February looming, we can't think of a better gift than these prints of love-themed record labels from Design Conspiracy. They'll be your baby, for sure. notonthehighstreet.com

Just when we had absented ourselves from the Del Rey conversation, along comes the Blur frontman's beautiful remix of the chanteuse's latest single "Born to Die". Dammit! bit.ly/AvKPzf
