Pedicures are better than therapy in our opinion. But if you don’t have time to book a salon appointment to tend your neglected toes, Butter London have recently launched a waterless pedicure collection to use at home together with their selection of covetable nail shades. Ideal if you don't want to mess about with foot baths, the collection consists of Foot Wipes (great for festivals), Glycolic Callus Peel, Hydrating Heel Balm and - our favourite - Powder Finish Foot Creme. Perfect for a 'no muss no fuss' feet treat. From £13, available at butterlondon.com

Architecture and visual representation have developed hand-in-hand. The conceptual and technical effects of perspective (dating from the fifteenth century) based on algebraic formulations, have been compared to the possibilities that computational tools have brought about. This exhibition explores this relationship: can these images be considered art based on architectural representation? Or are they architectural representations with expressive intent?
