The top celebrity hangouts in England

It's the question on everybody's lips, WHERE do celebrities hang out in England? Where do they go to get that perfect manicure? Where do they satisfy their hungry appetites? If you love reading about celebrities lifestyles as much as me, then read my guide to the top celebrity hangouts. They go to some pretty fabulous salons and restaurants, so who knows you might find your next hangout...


Glo Fulham, London

This is the go to place to have your nails done. Most of the Made in Chelsea ladies are regular clients of this hair and beauty salon based in Fulham. Rosie Fortescue and Louise Thompson regularly both get manicures done here. This is definitely a place that the MIC girls go to rather than just simply using it for filming purposes.



Inanch London, London

Inanch is the salon which the celebs hit when they want to get that fabulous blow dry or more specifically want to have their hair extensions put in or worked on, as the salon specialises in this. Favoured by the likes of Michelle Heaton, Nicola McClean and Sam Faiers, who paid a trip to the salon on Thursday, it is one of the exclusive hair salons in London boasting celebrity clients. 



The King's Road, Chelsea, London

This is the stomping ground of the Made in Chelsea cast. You're likely to see Millie Mackintosh wondering around the boutiques. However a regular King's Road visitor is former MIC star Kimberley Garner, who un-like her former co-star actually lives in Chelsea and is papped wondering around on a regular basis.



Nobu, Berkeley St, London

If you want to spot an A-lister Nobu on Berkeley st, Mayfair is the place to go. This famous restaurant has welcomed many famous faces from Tamara Ecclestone and Elle Macpherson to the Beckhams. All who want to get their sushi fix.



Rosso Restaurant, Manchester

Owned by famous football player Rio Ferdinand celebrities from all over the country dine at Rosso Restaurant. Recent visitors include Lucy Mecklenburgh from The Only Way Is Essex and Helen Flanagan. Michelle Keegan has also dined here, having taken fiance Mark Wright there when he was in town.



The Rose Club, London

Millie Mackintosh discusses her wedding

Millie Mackintosh revealed to fans how amazing her big day was on Tuesday as she tweeted 'Thank you to all for the lovely messages! Best day of my life x.' On Wednesday Millie also posted an Instagram picture of sunglasses and two big bottles of water with the caption 'Travelling with a hangover.' This indicates that her wedding day was a drunken affair and she and her new husband, Stephen Manderson are disguising their hangovers with a pair of sunnies, the usual celeb way. Rosie Fortescue also tweeted a picture on Wednesday stating 'HELP' with a picture of a McDonalds meal, suggesting that she was curing her hangover with some fast food.

It is not known whether the couple are taking their honeymoon now or waiting until later on in the year. However it looks like the pair are sitting in a back of a car, so it's likely are being driven to the airport. Enjoy married life Millie and Stephen!

Thank you to all for the lovely messages! Best day of my life x

Millie Mackintosh's Jane Austen inspired wedding dress

Millie Mackintosh wore a Alice Temperley vintage dress for her wedding to Professor Green on Tuesday, which took place at Babington House in Bath. The top half of her dress was made of fitted lace, with a delicate appearance whilst the bottom half of it was very loose flowing and romantic.The way that the top half of the dress was very sheer and had a scoop neckline reminded me of early 19th century style dresses from Jane Austen's time (see below). 

Also the very vertical form of the dress echoes the straight-up-straight-down shapes of that century. It seems that Millie's dress was inspired by this period, but updated with lace detailing and a peplum style train. Her hair also bore a striking resemblance to the hairstyles of the early 19th century as she imitated the delicate braiding and intricate, feminine hair accessories of the time (as modeled by Keira Knightly in the 2005 film re-make of Pride and Prejudice).

Overall Millie seems to have taken inspiration from the fashions of the early 19th century and put a very modern and polished spin on it, taking it into the 21st century. 

What do you think of Millie's wedding dress? Did you expect her to wear a more traditional strapless style?

Is Lily Allen making a dig at Millie Mackintosh?

Lily Allen posted a controversial tweet this morning, stating 'Thin people who incessantly feel the need to post pictures of themselves 'working out' you are smug, not inspirational. Stop it. #living ugh'. Allen's gained a lot of attention with it currently being retweeted by 1,766 Twitter users, one which included The Saturday's Rochelle Humes.

It appears that Lily is talking about the recent trend of bikini and gym selfies in which people take pictures of their bodies, honed by the gym for all to see. Whilst she could be referring to any number of celebrities that do this such as TOWIE's Lucy Mecklenburgh or MIC's Lucy Watson. It cannot be a coincidence that Millie Mackintosh posted a bikini selfie, showing off the results of her gym workout around 20 hours before Lily posted this tweet. Millie posted this particular Instagram photo with the caption 'Hard work in the gym finally paying off! #nopainnogain', which she also posted to her Twitter page.

Lily's tweet mentions people who post pictures of themselves 'working out' and Millie's picture makes a reference to the 'gym' and the fact that she got that body through working out. Furthermore Millie has posted numerous other pictures of herself working out with her personal trainer before, so it seems likely that Lily is making a dig at her in particular.

Thin people who incessantly feel the need to post pictures of themselves 'working out' you are smug, not inspirational. Stop it. ugh

Celebrity beauty secrets uncovered


Kate Moss and Vaseline Lip Therapy Rose Lips

I read in a magazine once that Kate Moss slicks a bit of Vaseline Lip Therapy Rosy Lips on her cheeks for a rosy blush. This is commonly used for lips, but like most products it has a multi- purpose. I think this is a great idea as it is something you would probably carry around in your handbag, therefore making it easier to get rosy cheeks on the go. I have tried it myself and it definitely made my cheeks look very rosy! 


Kim Kardashian and sugar

Kim Kardashian adds sugar to her regular body scrub in order to increase the exfoliation properties. Kim is no stranger to trying out more natural beauty products, as seen on Keeping Up with the Kardashians when she tries out a face mask which contains fruit in it because she read it was anti aging.


Victoria Beckham and Millie Mackintosh and Johnson's Baby Oil

Victoria Beckham tweeted a picture of Johnson's Baby Oil advising followers to apply it 'after regimen', i.e. after flights to lock in the moisture. Flights are dehydrating and Johnson's Baby Oil does keep skin very moisturised, so she knows what she's talking about!

Millie Mackintosh also recently said that she loves Johnson's Baby Oil Spray and keeps 'a bottle' in her 'beauty bag ready for those red carpet moments'. Millie often has radiant skin at showbiz events so its not hard to believe that she uses this product!


Nicole Scherzinger and pure coconut oil

Nicole Scherzinger's skin always looks so fresh and glowing and the reason behind that is pure coconut oil which she says she loves to use as a moisturiser for her body.


So what do you think? Are you tempted to try out any of these celebs beauty secrets?
