Millie Mackintosh, known for her role in the original cast of Made in Chelsea, has shared her personal shopping habits, revealing a mix of secondhand finds, organic food sources, and a few high-end splurges. The former reality star and author, who left the show in 2013, discussed her preferences in an interview, covering everything from her favourite online store to the item she regrets buying.
Food and Fashion Favourites
For groceries, Mackintosh uses Jago's of Chelsea for meat, Bens greengrocers for organic fruit and vegetables, and gets fish delivered from the Upper Scale. She also shops at Waitrose or Marks & Spencer. Her last treat for herself was a brown suede fringed jacket from Queens of Archive.
When it comes to fashion, she is a big fan of Vinted, praising the deals on hardly worn items and supporting circular fashion. Her favourite physical store is Space NK in Duke of York Square, where she once worked as a makeup artist.
Health, Gadgets, and Regrets
Mackintosh recently got the new Oura ring, which she uses to keep on top of her health data and remind her to get enough sleep. She also ditched caffeine because it gives her anxiety, now preferring hot water and lemon, though she still enjoys a decaf from Hagen.
Her biggest purchase regret is a pair of So Kate 120 Christian Louboutin heels that hurt beyond belief. On the other hand, her greatest vintage find is a Chanel flap bag from Vestiaire Collective.
Gifts and Splurges
The best present she has given was surprising her mum with business class flights for a girls' trip to the Caribbean. The best she has received is her granny's diamond ring, which she wears on special occasions.
Her biggest splurge was a pair of Khaite jeans from Net-a-Porter costing £500, which she says are amazing quality and worth it. For everyday items, she scrimps on Kiko Milano's Eyebrow Designer Gel mascara. She also buys white tops and T-shirts on repeat, looking for the perfect one from brands like Zara, James Perse, Agolde, and Citizens of Humanity.
