Ralph Lauren Rugby is inviting dapper ladies and gents to don their tweeds and take part in their Tweed Run bike ride in London on 26 November. All money raised by the event will go to the charity World Bicycle Relief.

Christie’s New York has announced that it will host a four-day series of landmark sales devoted to the iconic collection of Elizabeth Taylor. Nearly 400 items make up the collection, which includes haute couture gowns, coats, handbags, costume jewellery and shoes.

From 24 September, Warhol is Here at the De La Warr Pavilion will present and explore the work of Andy Warhol with an emphasis on his beliefs, lifestyle and his legacy for the 21st century.

A stone’s throw from Newhaven (well, a three-and-a-half-hour-ferry ride), Dieppe is a bit of a hidden holiday gem, so shhhh, don’t tell too many people about this post…

Unlike many French port towns, the picturesque town isn’t industrial and retains much of the glamour it was no doubt renowned for in the early part of the 21st century. At just £30 return for a foot passenger, it’d be rude not to hop across the channel and check out its many vintage delights for yourself. Here’s a little taster of what you can look forward to:

Villa Perrotte

Previously used as a doctor’s surgery, Villa Perrotte, epitomizes the Art Deco style of the 1920s, and now doubles as a contemporary art gallery. The iron staircase bannisters and stained glass window is a particularly stunning example of the sleek architectural style.

Shopping

Dieppe boasts many brocantes, or flea markets, ranging from disorganised warehouses to well-presented antique shops, selling everything from furniture, art, homewares and jewellery. Many of them are located on Rue d’Écosse and Rue St Jacques, both just off the Grande Rue. The Saturday market, held on this main strip, also hosts a handful of second-hand sellers, offering items such as art deco figurines, metal advertising signs and vintage bar ware.

As well as maintaining great relationships, modern technology can be used for establishing them too. In the six years I’ve lived in Brighton and Hove, I’ve never felt closer to the local community than over the past 12 months – and I have Vintage Brighton to thank for that.

The narrow lanes of Amsterdam’s bohemian Jordaan district are bound to make any vintage-loving Brightonian feel right at home. As well a variety of vibrant vintage boutiques, the area also plays host to a fabulous Monday morning flea market – the Noordermarkt.
