The latest shopping news: Trainers from a vending machine and Marc's new store

This week, until Wednesday, grab the amazing opportunity to buy your next pair of new trainers from a vending machine. Yes you read that correctly. A machine which can dispatch a new pair of trainers at the push of a button will be stationed on London's Carnaby Street before setting off on a tour of the country for the rest of 2008.

The trainers, and this totally revolutionary new way of buying them have been designed by Japanese sportswear label Onitsuka Tiger. They come in 6 sizes and, best of all, cost absolutely nothing. All you need to do is head down to the Onitsuka Tiger store at 15 Newburgh street for your chance to win a pair.

So now it's just as easy to snap up a pair of new shoes as it is to but a Kit-Kat!

And if that's not enough to whet your shopping appetite we can also reveal that London is set to get it's very own Marc By Marc Jacobs store next year.

The label is rolling out stores across Europe, the first due to pop up this year (fingers crossed in time for a spot of fashion week retail therapy) on Place du Marche Saint-Honore - a mere stones throw away from much-visited Colette. In London the new location is being touted as 56 South Audley street, conveniently located to the Marc Jacobs shop on Mount Street. We feel a serious shopping spree coming on!
