contributed by eva johansson


looking for what's new this month? be sure to add these monthly picks to your spring list:

hot couture.
the dress to be seen in this spring? a marchesa. available at selfridges, but only before cate blanchett, scarlett johansson, and mischa barton snag them all. 400 oxford street. W1A 2LR. 0870.837.7377.

speedy solution.
spring weather + hot date = beauty emergency. neville (of the famous blowdry) = your new saviour. ask for the one-stop shop treatment (mani, blow dry, and make up). all in 90 mins flat. customization optional (pedi for those new slingbacks). 5 pont street. SW1X 9EJ. 020.7235. 3654.

haute dining.
twickenham and rugby. forever associated. twickenham and fine french fare? memorize it now. chef john mcclements' new resto, la brasserie ma cousine bourgoise (previously mcclements restaurant), serves up traditional french (frogs legs, snails, chicken cooked in champagne), as well as wines, and tarts (the food kind). douze points. 2 whitton road, TW1 1BJ. 020.8744.9598.

bag it.
welcome news: jewelery designer lara bohinc (loved by kate moss
and cameron d.) is launching her first line of bags come spring (ahem, now). lust after the laratina in soft snake and lambskin or the laratela in raffia. 51hoxton square. N1 6NU. 020.7684.1465 www.larabohinc107.co.uk

pleasure cooker.
if you need to dust off the ole' frying pan before using it, you'll need a little bit of taste. jennifer hicks' new cooking workshop is said to teach you just how to use all those other kitchen doo-dads too. 020.7286.4243. www.learncooktaste.co.uk
