Now that the weather is warming up slightly, Levanah Reyes-Wainwright has discovered three foodie finds to put a spring in your step.

March 7th saw the release of 300: Rise of An Empire. Inspired by the decidedly macho Frank Miller graphic novels, on the face of it this could be written off as simply just another comic book adaptation, albeit one of the large minority targeting a more adult audience.
We’d beg to disagree, though, and as such decided to offer a few comments on the matter. Without further ado then, we present the four reasons we're excited about the movie, eager to feast our eyes on the contents whilst gorging on an unhealthily-sized portion of that Hollywood-proper pre-requisite, popcorn.
Dandyism transgressed: the necktie in the feminine .
For her new Autumn/Winter 2014/15 Collection, Fatima Guerrout has subverted the supreme accessory of male dandyism: the necktie, which we find knotted around the waist of a lace dress as a belt to slim down the silhouette, or feminising a masculine suit. Balzac said that the necktie "helps us to judge the person wearing it." This season, it will reveal the women who choose it as an emblem of elegance.
This Time it’s Personal. It Really is All About You
The future of advertising, really the future of all business, social interaction, our quality of life and learning is about to be governed by algorithms. Rubbish I hear you say, we are in control of our lives, decisions, learning and future. Well, not for long unless we look very carefully at how we structure the internet and our collection of personal data over the next few years and tailor the code, that will soon run much of it, with an eye to ethics and quality of life over personal gain.
Experimental is the word of the season. The Fall-Winter RTW 2014 collection from BASIL SODA is an experiment of prints, and material work; with a casual take on the house’s DNA. The atelier was in a painterly mood this season bringing together a touch of illustration to the textiles. Abstract collages alongside linear drawings bring a fun sensibility to the table. A mixture of lush satins, supple leathers and a nod to menswear inspired textiles make up the structure. Another element that came into play was the idea of sportswear and an effortless way of dressing.

- Where did you grow up and what was your childhood like?
I grew up and still live in Pinner, North London. I had a very happy childhood.
- Where did you study?
I went to St Martin’s in Northwood, then Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School, a public school in North London, and then to Magdelen College, Oxford University, to read Biochemistry. I left Oxford after my first year.
- How did you get your business started?
Thanks to the subjective nature of music it's very difficult to label films about rock, pop or any other genres as 'universally enjoyable'. Indeed, gods in the eyes of one man (or woman) may not even be relevant to another, and with very few exceptions sitting down to watch two hours of footage - whether fact or fiction - dedicated to a particular sound comes with one pre-requisite; we must appreciate, if not ardently follow that style in order to bother sticking around for the duration of the movie.
