East End artist 'Bob and Roberta Smith' gets all interactive this Christmas by inviting us all to Tate Britain to use pedal power to bring his festive art installation to life!

Yes, we have the power to illuminate his 11 metre high xmas tree - made from recycled bits and bobs - by hopping on one of 8 bikes and giving it some welly....

So c'mon, what you waiting for?

We’re totally in LOVE with these revamped vintage bags by Vivien Cheng!

Each bag is carefully selected by the lady herself, then, taking in the style and shape, is painted with bespoke metallic or brilliant jewel-coloured designs – transforming them from dull to dazzling must-have handbags.

Step out for a night on the town with one of these darlings clutched under your arm and you’ll look both timeless and über cool.

Go on, grab some vintage arm candy: www.viviencheng.com
