Miu Miu’s resort collection 2011 looks right at home against the festive backdrop of Miu Miu’s window displays. The Chambre 36 Mistinguett, located at L’Hotel on Paris’s Left Bank, has been taken as inspiration for the festive windows, evoking the ambiance of a boudoir.

The Prada Group continues to expand across Britain, unveiling two new Prada and Miu Miu corners – designed by architect Roberto Baciocchi - inside department store House of Fraser in Glasgow, Scotland.

A new bag from the Spring/Summer 2011 collection will be exclusively available in a limited edition palette of sapphire, raspberry, and Etruscan red with numbered labels to mark the occasion of the opening. 

The capsule collection of methacrylate jewellery combines Baroque lines and Pop colours inspired by South American musicals. The motifs are taken from the prints and embroideries featured in the summer collection. The figures include fruit, musical instruments and female figures dressed as 'she devils'. 

The collection is available in the Prada boutiques on Bond Street, Via Montanapoleone, Corso Venezia and Avenue Montaigne. Prices from £140.

For the second year in a row, John Galliano for Dior has created a stunning Christmas tree for the lobby of Claridge’s Hotel in London. "The majestic beauty of Claridge’s Art Deco interiors never fails to inspire me. I am thrilled to have designed a new tree for Christmas at Claridge’s,” said the designer.

This year’s tree was themed, “Under the Sea”, Dior’s Creative Director explains. “I wanted to create an underwater fantasy, and have mixed pink corals, seahorses, anemones and jellyfish, all glinting like gem stones, swimming amidst the silver leaves. I hope we have created something as sumptuous as its setting and that this inspires a truly luxurious escape and a very festive season at Claridges."

“We are excited to see the return of the legendary John Galliano, who once again this year has recreated the Christmas magic in our lobby,” commented Claridge’s General Manager, Thomas Kochs. “Following his spectacular tree last year, we simply could not resist this new design, which will keep London talking throughout the season.  Both Claridge’s and Dior are synonymous with timeless glamour and impeccable heritage, and we are thrilled to be celebrating the festive season together.”

The John Galliano for Dior Christmas Tree will be on display in the lobby of Claridge’s Hotel until 5^th January 2011.

The answer to London’s Arctic temperatures will arrive in the capital on the 6^th December. A Moroccan paradise in the heart of the city, the Mo Café at Momo’s restaurant is launching an exciting new venture: Afternoon at Momo.

In an unusual twist on this most British of traditions, teatime classics such as scones, smoked salmon sandwiches, macaroons and mini cheesecakes will be served alongside Moroccan Maghrebine pastries and apple and saffron tarts. These are served on exquisite antique cake stands, while a wide variety of teas from the North African region will be served in authentic Moroccan brass teapots, sourced personally by owner Mourad Mazouz.

As is the custom, Moroccan mint tea features high on the menu but there is a plethora of exotic teas to choose from: Hamman, a traditional Turkish recipe with green dates and red fruits; Fakirs tea, blended with cardamom and citrus; oriental flower black tea; and the more traditional Assam and Darjeeling varieties. As an extra treat, guests can accompany their delicious afternoon tea with a glass of Champagne or The Momo Special cocktail.

Afternoon at Momo will be served every day between 2.30pm-5.30pm from the 6^th December.

Blanc de Blancs, Brut Gold and Rosé 

Recently voted the number one Champagne in the world in a blind-tasting of over 1,000 brands by international wine critics, Armand de Brignac Champagne is a true taste of luxury. Grown in the award-winning Champagne Cattier chateau of Chigny-les-Roses since 1763, the Armand de Brignac label boasts three cuvées - Brut Gold, Rosé and Blanc de Blancs - aged nine months in oak casks.

Cultivated in vineyards in the prestigious Montagne de Reims territory of the French Champagne region, Armand de Brignac is created using traditional hand labor-intensive methods. Inspired by André Courrèges, the distinctive metallic bottles feature two Ace of Spades insignias and four pewter labels. The entirely handcrafted bottles are housed in a black wooden case embossed with the Armand de Brignac royal crest.  The velvet-lined box is completed with an engraved nameplate.
