Music
From the home of Radiohead, Supergrass and the Foals comes a festival that's not so much a festival as a big street party (albeit indoors). On 10 October, down Cowley Road in the east of Oxford, 10 bands will be playing 10 venues, including The Big Pink, receiving rave reviews for debut album A Brief History of Love and critics' favourite Stornoway. Staged by the team that puts together the Truck festival, this local music spectacular will be supplemented by poetry performances and an open-mic event. Time to warm up that larynx.

Fashion
The shows in London last week had their eye on what we'll be wearing next summer, but some of us haven't sorted our autumn wardrobes yet. Take a tip from those in the know and revamp with a versatile high street investment. Stylist Beth Dadswell's top buy is a Whistles silk biker blouse, £85, (www.whistles.co.uk): "It looks great with a mini, pencil skirt or skinny jeans and eases the conversion from office to night out." Stock up also on ballet flats in this season's lively animal prints, £150, from Pretty Ballerinas (www.prettyballerinas.com). "Wear them with your favourite LBD or black leggings, and your feet will thank you for years to come." For more advice from Beth, visit www. mypersonalstylist.co.uk
