forget the borrowed. forget the blue. all we really want in '08 is something bright, shiny and new:
resto revamp.
this all-white winter fave may have just opened, but the new year is all about change. at vanilla [pictured], michelin-starred chef izi ani changes it up with a playful new menu. can't you just taste the scallops with pear and gnocchi with cèpes? it's a killa'. 131

cocktails at nine.
head to covent garden's K2 this spring. the man behind the
kingly club is at it again. notorious 90s bar denim is getting a nip and a tuck,
so watch out for an upmarket japanese-themed relaunch. sake to me. 4a
upper st. martin's lane. covent garden. no phone number yet.
it's a murse.
this ain't no clutch. this ain't no purse either. the bob
bag, designed for mulberry by irish rocker bob geldoff, is for the boys
and is sure to be picked up by all the judes and clives 'round town. find it at
london's new men's only mulberry shop. 38 floral street.

pampering paradise.
the new spa boudoir suite at the intercontinental london is set to knock the socks off your pretty painted toes. one of the hotel's luxe guestrooms will get its very own personal spa space this year. what better way to kick off '08 then with one of their sig facials or massage. 1
