Maltesers in tea are the chicest snack, fake Goyard bags must be avoided… What's hot (and not) this week

National Gallery re-hang

The new Sainsbury gallery (The National Gallery, London.)

Love a re-hang. After a big Thursday-night bash, the doors of The National Gallery swung open for public perusal, featuring unseen works — time to pick a new favourite.

Maltesers and tea

A sophisticated snack, per fashion designer Phoebe Philo, who dunks hers in using a teaspoon. On board.

Cash

Cash usage has decreased significantly across the UK, the Treasury Committee said (Gareth Fuller/PA) (PA Archive)

King, once again. The cashless society concept took less than two weeks to be dismantled thanks to a bunch of cyber-savvy British teens.

Martinis

One Club Row (Justin De Souza)

Everywhere right now; it’s a ’tini renaissance. For lunch, drink them at Jeremy King’s The Park; for supper, they are about the only cocktail served at new hotspot One Club Row.

Going down...

Fake Goyard bags

(Goyard)

This has become an epidemic. Having one of these totes in every colour is the opposite of a flex. Being boshed by them on the Tube is soul destroying.

Eyelash shaving

Men clipping their eyelashes with trimmers in barber shops to look more masculine is a rather terrifying new trend.

Hi-fi listening bars

(B&Q)

Not 100 per cent on what these are, but what I do know is Hackney doesn’t need another — nor should anyone pay to experience one.

Fedoras

While the majority of the hats at this year’s Met Gala were pretty hideous, I think Kim Kardashian snagged the prize for the worst with her leather fedora. Not in for spring.
