Last week saw PUMA Social hosting the world's first pop-up bowling alley debuting in Manchester's Spinningfield district.The 1950's themed venue was very impressive complete with a 4 lane bowling alley, American diner, dance floor and free flowing cocktail bar.

We headed down to the Vintage Hemingway festival last weekend on the South Bank to check out the Rock My Vintage goodies. The mixture of vintage Mary Quant (we hear the jacket dress was snapped up!) to the inspired pieces all went down a treat. The day was a very retro affair with outfits out in full force from every era, with painted ladies immaculate in the blazing sunshine. We're looking forward to next year's already, definitely a must in the calendar! ...

Over 400 influential mummy bloggers (and a few dads!) descended upon The Brewery in Clerkenwell for this year's CyberMummy that took place on Saturday. We hosted a stand with Crocs, inviting our yummy mummies to have an OPI pedicure whilst browsing the new ranges for themselves and their kids. Whilst we tempted them with treats for their feet we gave them a chance to do some video blogging for us in between the sessions throughout the day. The likes of Facebook were in attendance opening the conference before ex PM's wife Sarah Brown delivered her keynote speech. Only in its...

Last night we headed down to the new offices and showroom of VIVOBAREFOOT in Clerkenwell to check out NY illustrator Bryan Christie and his designs for the eBook. Having spoken to Bryan he is undoubtedly passionate about the human body and can spend a few months building 3D models together with his team in order to create his illustrations. In his words illustrating the unseeable is his speciality, transforming complex ideas into compelling images. In this case, displayed in large format it works well in the surroundings which are set to play host to Lee Saxby, and will be a...

We were up bright and early for Saturday's much anticipated Columbia HellRider. A brand new event in the race calendar no one knew what to expect, but organised by the team behind HellRunner we knew it was going to be good..and we weren't disappointed. The day started off with nervous energy from runners keen to find out how the course was going to pan out, so they could work out tactics for the rest of the team. Once in full swing the loops were getting churned out, with runners especially enjoying the final stream crossing in the boiling heat. A...

So when I was sent the invite to new gallery 20X10 recently I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to take a snoop inside Saatchi & Saatchi. The unique space was in fact the office of creative team Ollie Wolf and David Goss who played host to the work of talented photographer Oli Kellett. You may have seen some of his work recently with his Mills and Boon spoof front covers (the glamorous couple also made a special appearance). It was indeed a very intimate evening and we’re looking forward to hear what's in the pipeline for the next installment....

If you fancy getting dirty and enduring the 8 hour mtb and run relay challenge (note this is a relay so you have the choice of teaming up with 3 or even 5 of your mates), head over to the HellRider website and sign up.
