When Jacques Cousteau was a French naval officer in WWII, he helped set up France’s elite commando frogmen unit. (Presumably as a side hustle while simultaneously pummelling the Hun.) Around the same time he went off to embrace the life aquatic, the special ops divers of Marine Nationale started looking around for a watch company that supported their underwater mission. They found Tudor, and a decades-long collaboration was born.

Cats and rock stars have a lot in common. They’re cute from a distance. They can really shred. And most of them are the spawn of Beelzebub. Seattle artist Casey Weldon pays tribute to these lovable yet highly malevolent forces in his Love Cats project: a series of 1950s-style Valentine kitties toting slightly worrisome lyrics from iconic rock songs.

There’s a lot of people across Australia feeling pretty shit right now. This campaign is already feeling brutal and exasperating and tiresome, and we’re only halfway through. Anyway, as important as all the big voting stuff is, it’s also important to keep yourself and everyone around you safe and mentally OK.

Even if it's just a few boy-band posters on the wall, a lockable diary with 'Keep Out' on the front and a string or two of fairy lights, every teen bedroom tells a story. For most of us, it's the first time we really get to have a say in our surroundings. We can express our personality and impose our newly discovered excellent taste on the world.

Normally we are fans of sensible shoes. We crave comfort and reject blisters and other foot ouchiness. And while we can’t be sure, it really seems like these Celia floral slip-ons started life in quite a sensible manner. They are a sensible shade of white. They sport sensible elastic sides. But then things take a turn.

If you’re anything like us, you spend a good deal of time walking around the streets near your home, coveting thine neighbours’ lemon trees. So yellow, so zingy, so enticingly THERE. But whether you choose to guiltily pinch the occasional citrus temptation of your own, or you’re more of a stuff-’em-in-a-bag-at-the-shops type of person, there’s one thing we can probably all agree on: few things are better to do with a whole bag of lemons than to make a big batch of lemon curd.

There are certain women we feel very strongly about – like ’80s screen legend Molly Ringwald. The star of The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles and oh-so much more is but one of the ladies gracing the covers of our fangirl jotters. They come in a set of three (the others feature Debbie Harry, aka Blondie, and thespian extraordinaire Susan Sarandon), and they’re just the right size to pop in your bag, so you can scribble down thoughts and ideas, wherever you happen to be.

Your baby's all grown up - well, semi grown up - and wanting a bedroom with fewer dinosaur, fairy and farm animal designs. Time to sob a tiny bit in the corner and then plan to create a space you can both live with and love. Think of this as a bonding exercise: listen well, communicate well, and combine your skills to come up with something great.

Guitarist for legendary act The Breeders, one half of indie rock’s most famous twin-set (along with identical sister and bandmate Kim), former Air Force secret keeper and shit-hot knitter – you could say Kelley Deal is something of an icon. She’s coming to Australia soon for Fairgrounds festival, so we had a mild fangirl-related anxiety attack, then asked her a few questions.

We are living through some odd and anxious times right now. Most of us are shut inside. Even if we're lucky enough to be working from home, days can blend into one another - a bit like that weird week between Christmas and New Year's. We're seeing a lot of the people inside our houses, and not nearly enough of anyone else.
