Made In Chelsea




I am totally addicted to Made In Chelsea. The hit reality show, which follows the lives and loves of a group of twenty-somethings in SW1, is always compelling viewing - full of glamorous balls, bitching and bed-hopping.

Whether sunning themselves in the South of France, shooting clay pigeons at an English country house party, or shopping on the King's Road, the MiC girls are always impeccably dressed.

I love Caggie's ecclectic style, which brings a touch of boho to Sloane Square. Austique, a favourite haunt of Chelsea girls, were inundated with requests for the tangerine mini dress she wore in Cannes towards the end of the first series. If you want to know where else you can get the looks seen in MiC, Caggie and Millie have also been seen buying bikinis in Biondi Couture, the swimwear emporium boasting the biggest selection of designer swimwear - including the incredibly sort after VIX range.

Since then we've seen Binky and Cheska doing a spot of shoe shopping at The Box Boutique, where you'll find fabulous footwear by the likes of Mechante, Beatrix Ong and Ruthie Davis, all displayed to perfection in the eccentric neo-Baroque surroundings.

Time for a West End shopping spree I think...

The Box Boutique Launch Party

Mayfair has a new mecca to hail footwear fanatics from far and wide. The Box Boutique on Maddox Street has arrived! Last night's launch party attracted the likes of Jameela Jamil (who I have to say looked particularly enamoured with a pair of leopard print stilettos) and the original supermodel, Janice Dickinson, with beau David Blakeley in tow. Beauties by Beatrix Ong, Mechante, Pollini, Ruthie Davies and Raphael Young are displayed in suitably stunning surroundings. I'd attempt to describe the decor as post-modern baroque. There are some fantastically quirky touches - including lamp shades made from bowler hats. The owners, sisters Elena and Yulia Pashevkina, intend their new venture to be: 'a haven for the weary West End shopper... and a shoe obsessive's dream'. It's fair to say that they have succeeded on both points - what could possibly be better than trying on a pair of fabulous shoes for size whilst sat in the comfort of a plush velvet armchair? This place is definitely worth a visit. The Box Boutique, 45 Maddox Street, W1S 2PG
