howies (yes, the lower-case h is intentional!) has branched out from its online roots to open an exciting new store in London's Carnaby Street. You can't move for eco-friendly features in the shop, which also contains a library and has running water on tap for thirsty shoppers. Catwalk Queen's Isabelle and I popped down on opening night to check out the vibe!
Yesterday we brought you one of the first entries in our LG Video Talent search for a video editor, and today I thought I'd share one of my favourite entries to the 'presenter' category.

Here's another inventive use of old junk: a 6-foot Christmas 'tree' made from 400 Mountain Dew cans. The red and green combine to look very festive! Check it out on the video, below.
We *heart* LED lights. They mean you can have Christmas sparkle without the waste, and in this video Shiny Shiny's Zara and I got to have a play with the best eco-friendly lights I've seen this season. They're stylish and tasteful, designed by Oliver Heath, and available at EcoCentric.
Forget the tacky, energy-guzzling fairy lights of Oxford Street that seem to nothing but disappoint more with each year that passes: London's Carnaby Street has proven itself to be ahead of the game in style and innovation once again, with a set of dazzling eco-friendly Christmas decorations that look totally magical. And perhaps best of all - since the decorations did not require switching on there were no z-list celebrities there to 'do the honours'!
The oversized, holographic paper chains are so reflective that they shine brightly in the glow of existing street lighting, meaning no additional energy is needed to set them glowing. Laura and I popped down to have a look when the decorations were unveiled on Wednesday, and shot this little video to share the cheer...Enjoy!
Bikes are faster than cars if you commute in cities -- it's official, and proven to us by none other than Mr. Gas-Guzzler himself, Jeremy Clarkson. But we didn't need him to tell us that.
So what could be faster (and greener) than a bike that does half the work for you? The new Powabyke commuter bike with lithium batter is the first in a series of electric bikes we put to the test.
