As the year of the goat draws ever nearer, we give you the ultimate wish-list for how to spend Chinese New Year. From what to wear, where to dine, to what to gift - we have it covered. 

What to wear

Helping us celebrate in true style, as ever, is doyenne of design, Diane Von Furstenberg. Ideal to be worn for day or night celebrations, is the Chinese take on her wrap dress in the form of a stunning short China wrap. More of a bag kind of girl? Never fear as she gives us some shiny, playful envelope clutches and, with both in the lucky hue of red, good luck is pretty much guaranteed - well in the style stakes anyway. 


Where to dine

If you fancy getting out of town, and away from the madness of the celebrations, then boy, do we have a treat for you. How does a mini break where you are not only guaranteed first class accommodation but the chance to dine at one of Asia's top restaurants sound? Metropolitan by COMO, Bangkok, have put together the ultimate Chinese New Year package to include overnight accommodation, complimentary breakfast plus a guaranteed table at the always sold-out, famed and acclaimed, Thai restaurant, nahm. Sounds pretty ideal, don't you think? Bookings can be made here

What to gift

If you are looking for something a little out of the traditional realm in terms of Chinese New Year gifting, then the puddings from The Peninsula Boutique are sure to delight. For the very first time ever, the famed puddings will be available exclusively from The Peninsula Boutique. Made from freshly ground glutinous rice flour, they come in three flavours: original, osmanthus and the brand new and limited-edition, lychee. 

What to wish for 

If you are hoping for a little something on the fashion front to help you celebrate this year, start dropping some Burberry hints. Crafted especially to celebrate New Year, with the addition of the Chinese symbol of good fortune, the classic heritage trench gets a very relevant, and very luxe update.
