The brainchild of Made in Chelsea star Rosie Fortescue and launched by her twin sister Lily, Cheek Frills is an underwear brand for comfy, fun and luxurious lingerie.Launched in October 2012, Cheek Frills is now stocked across the UK in store and online.

Ethically produced from cotton modal these knickers, bras and vests come in sets of Days of the Week and Cities of the World: for a perfect gift try the “Fashion Jet Set” or “Long Weekender” Sets of 4! There is no better way to see in the weekend from Monday than starting every morning with a pair of Cheek Frills; so comfortable you will never want to take them off!

As a frequent traveler I’d particularly love the Cities of the World set but can’t find them available anywhere. For the Days of the Week set buy here. The box of eight includes an additional ‘Happy Day’ Pair for special occasions.

Neville Hair and Beauty, Pont Street

Posted on by

If you watched the first episode of ‘Made in Chelsea,’ you will have seen NEVILLE hairdressers featured… yes, it’s where Ollie bravely had his glossy locks chopped off.

This boutique has become the destination salon in Central London. It is located perfectly on Pont Street – it would be easy to spend the whole day at Neville, this beauty emporium has everything you need for head to toe pampering. I was lucky enough to be a Chelsea ‘it’ girl for the morning visiting Neville for a colour, cut and blow dry.

The salon exterior says it all: stylish and glamorous with a touch of vintage charm. I love the decor, a sparkling shimmering black with plush seats and the latest magazines lining every wall. I was taken downstairs with Donald, my colourist for the day. We chatted briefly about my lack-lustre hue and decided to take the colour a shade darker for winter with a few subtle highlights round the parting and face for volume and to ensure the colour looked natural. I’m used to sitting in the chair for hours while foils and brushes are used relentlessly on my hair. Donald worked super-fast, efficiently getting the job done within the hour. After a bit of heat, there was no need for adjusting or toning down, the colour was just right. After an invigorating hair wash, Donald kindly arranged for me to have my eyebrows threaded and shaped with the wonderful new beautician located on the lower floor. As well as threading, manicures and pedicures are available.

Upstairs is where the action really takes place… Neville specialises in BIG blow dries, which is evident immediately when you walk into the salon. Long manes of wavy backcombed hair fill every seat, I felt a bit out of place with my rather less impressive short hair. Dayne did his best to make me fit in, minimally trimming my hair, to give a sharp long bob with no layers, and then blowdrying to the extreme, to give maximum shape and volume. I left the salon feeler lighter than ever, with a striking hairstyle ready for autumn.

On my way out I had a chat with star reflexologist Paolo about reviewing his miraculous treatments, so watch out for more from Neville soon!

Millie Mackintosh at the Sunday Strut for The Prince’s Trust

Posted on by

On Sunday 19th August 2012, 100 lucky individuals will have the chance to strut 6 kilometres from Cardinal Place in Victoria to One New Change in the historic City of London. The Sunday Strut will be led by none other than Made in Chelsea‘s style sweetheart, Millie Mackintosh. The convoy of fashionistas will wind their way past Big Ben, the London Eye, and over the stunning Millennium Bridge with the finishing line just a stone’s throw from St Paul’s Cathedral.

This is not your average charity walk! Strutters can add finishing touches to their look at the start line in a pop-up hair and make-up parlour, including the latest Caviar Nails and Glitter Masques from celeb favourites InParlour beauty team, on the roof garden at Cardinal Place. Once strutters have refuelled and before things kick off, they can look forward to a high energy warm up from London’s coolest fitness club, Gymbox.

After taking in the sights of the Capital over a fashionable 6k, strutters will arrive at One New Change where they can swap their bottled water with a celebratory glass of champagne courtesy of Searcys Champagne Bar. And the fun doesn’t stop there as an exclusive after party will finish off the day in style at Gordon Ramsay’s Bread Street Kitchen. Ramsay’s rustic restaurant will be serving up sumptuous Strut cocktails, courtesy of Grey Goose Vodka, as guests enjoy live music at the intimate Vintage Fashion Tea party.

This unique take on the traditional charity walk has been organised by One New Change and Cardinal Place, two of Land Securities’ flagship shopping destinations in London, with all proceeds going directly to its charity partner, The Prince’s Trust. Since The Trust was founded in 1976, the youth charity has supported 650,000 disadvantaged young people across the UK, giving them the skills, confidence and motivation to move into the workplace.

There are just 100 places for this exclusive event so to bag yours now all you have to do is register online, then set up your Virgin Money Giving page and confirm your registration by paying the first £25 then raise a minimum of £100 in total (so an additional £75), for The Prince’s Trust.
