A 13-year-old fashion enthusiast from Lancashire is embracing vintage style, dressing in 1950s outfits, crocheting, and shunning modern trends like having a TV in her room. Mia Rayne, inspired by a video on vintage dolls, has built a collection of over 50 dresses, sourced with her mother, Jodie, from Vinted and vintage stores. Despite being teased at school, Mia remains confident, even doubling down on her unique fashion choices. Her story has gained widespread support online, encouraging others to embrace their individuality. Aspiring to be an actor, Mia hopes to inspire people to wear what makes them happy.

Funeral firm offering world's first 'living coffin' - made out of mushrooms
Eco-lovers in the UK can now be buried in the world's first 'living coffin' - which decomposes faster and is made out of mushrooms. The coffins are grown out of pliable mycelium - a mat of fibres and upcycled hemp plants - rather than traditional wood. The mycelium, which grows like thread, aids decomposition by breaking down biological matter - biograding within just 45 days. Mycelium is the root structure of mushrooms. Made by Dutch company Loop Biotech, the coffins can be grown in just a week and "feed the earth with your very own nutrients". Funeral director Poetic Endings in Forest Hill, southeast London, were the first in the UK to offer one of these unique coffins - officially starting to stock them last week. Founder Louise Winter, 38, said: “Brexit made it slightly more complicated to get things into the country, so I am thrilled that we can finally offer them.
