She may only be 25 but Millie Mackintosh already boasts a clothing range, eyelash line, Facebook reality TV career and A-list husband – and she’s only just getting started. I’m into fashion in every way so designing a jewellery range was a dream. A spokesperson for Dorothy Perkins jewellery said: ‘Millie was a dream to work with. FAB, Millie shared her top skincare tips for the colder months that are encroaching on us. I created it from scratch and it draws upon my own family heirlooms and vintage pieces I’ve collected on my travels,’ she told MailOnline. Blign bling: Millie’s new range, which is priced between £10-£30, launches in store and online just in time for Christmas. Obviously I just unveiled my fashion range so it’s amazing to have both. Millie said that designing her new range of rustic collar necklaces and drop earrings ‘didn’t feel like work’ and it seems the brand agree. And she doesn’t just have a passion for fashion – the trained make-up artist is big on beauty, too. From necklaces heavily embellished with crystal stones to dainty lockets, there’s something for everyone and the collection starts at £10 so it’s really purse-friendly,’ she said. The 23-piece range, which lands on October 1, is full of intricate pendants adorned with semi precious stones and plenty of the statement necklaces that Millie loves to wear herself. Fresh from unveiling her debut fashion range last week, the Quality Street heiress, who found fame on Made In Chelsea, has designed her first-ever jewellery collection for Dorothy Perkins. Just one look at her Instagram feed and style blog proves that Millie has a love affair with fashion. Millie selected an edit for the high street store earlier this year and it was such a success that they invited her back and gave her more creative control.

Speaking about future plans, she said: ‘It would be amazing to see my clothing line go on and expand over the next few years, I’m working on the summer collection now. It would be a range of make-up combined with skincare,’ she added. The ambitious young star, who is married to Professor Green, already has big plans for the future. I love discovering the next big thing in beauty and I am definitely looking into it but I’m so busy at the moment. I’m having to remember to write down the method and ingredients as when I cook I normally throw meals together. In five years time, I would love to be a mum and maybe have added a cosmetics line to my brand. I’ve been breaking out after fashion week and lots of late nights so these are helping. Maybe I will do sportswear at some point in the future. While her schedule is jam-packed, she uses exercise as a way of relaxing and will be teaching fitness fans all about her virtuous lifestyle at the Well Fit festival in Shoreditch next weekend. Keen to build up her brand, Millie is considering venturing into beauty. And if that wasn’t enough, Millie is currently penning her lifestyle book, full of the healthy recipes she loves, on the side. She said: ‘It would be amazing to see my clothing line go on and expand over the next few years, I’m working on the summer collection now.
