Miu Miu
We all love a bit of Miu Miu here at the UJ office, but we've been struggling to figure out just how to get away with their S/S 08 harlequin theme without looking like actual court jesters. Life just got easier with these limited edition print t-shirts, available in Miu Miu stores from May. £90

Slow Food Market
After the success of the Christmas Market, Slow Food Market is back for Spring with handcrafted cheeses, beers and even mushrooms - raised in their own good time. Ethical, sustainable, fresh - it's all so saintly you'll need a dirty hamburger to right the balance afterwards.

Hix Oyster & Chop House

You can always judge the buzz a new restaurant is generating by the ratio of restaurant critics and chefs to regular punters. When I was here on Tuesday night it was about even.

I knew I was going to like Mark Hix's new gaff but it excelled expectations by having an air of effortless style and integrity that, no matter how many fancy vintage chandeliers and rickety chairs you put in a place, you just can't fabricate.

Simply done with white tiled walls, wooden floors, a small prohibition-style bar to one side and a seafood prepping station to the other, the room seems to be beaming with delight at its makeover (it was previously the slightly sad Rudland & Stubbs fish restaurant). It may not be perfect but, as a back-to-front neon artwork above the stairs quite rightly declares, it's pretty 'f***ing beautiful'.

In true Hix style, at times you feel like you need a food compendium to work out what some of the items on the menu are; like water souchet (a type of eighteenth century fish soup), lamb cutlets 'Reform' (served with an aromatic sauce that originated at the Reform Club), and we'll leave fried skate knobs to your imagination.

But needless to say, it's all delicious and, if in doubt, you can't go wrong with a pile of oysters and a Bloody Mary at the bar.

Fox & Anchor
This beautifully restored pub is almost too good to be true. Down a cobbledy street just off Smithfield market, every inch of polished wood and brass, silver tankard, glossy mirror and buttoned leather banquette seems to sparkle with care.

Its motto being 'Hops & chops, cuvees & duvets', this superior boozer really does offer it all. There are six real ales on tap, good old fashioned grub - go for steak or fish pie followed by a lovely board of English cheeses - fine wines and even snazzy rooms upstairs in case you don't quite make it home.

But the best bit is the Victorian interior which is just too good to share with the tourists (and luckily not many of them seem to have discovered the place) - my favourite part being the dining area at the back which is made up of five or six cosy cubbyholes that are very difficult to leave once you've planted yourself.

Our advice? Lunch at Hix then roll up the road to the F&A to see the rest of the day out. Look at that... I think I've just come over all modern British.
