Last night was fabulous. It was one of the first launch parties I’ve been to that firstly didn’t descend into a drunken shambles and secondly felt wholesome, well organised and so on message. Oh, and thanks to the #TubeStrike, there were maybe 50 people or so at the event, which made it fabulously intimate; I was hanging and boogying in front of Solange at the DJ station, tottered off to get a drink and meandered back in front.
The party was honouring 10 years of Kiehl’s pioneering Powerful Strength Line Reducing Concentrate, and in celebration of this milestone they’ve launched their #pioneersbynature programme to celebrate innovators, game changers and trend setters who are pioneering new ways of viewing and experiencing the world today, such as Kiehl’s within the skincare landscape, Solange Knowles in music and, literally, Rachel Zoe in fashion (if you don’t know her, you should).
I have to say, Solange is beautiful and effortlessly elegant. If you don’t know her, you may have seen her wedding photos featuring in every publication last November.
But seriously, I got but a few inches away from her; she’s flawless and couldn’t be more on message for the skincare giant that is Kiehl’s. Other people at the event were (although unfortunately I didn’t know many of them, showing my age, perhaps?):
- Zara Martin
- Rosie Fortescue
- Aluna Francis
- Jameela Jamil (T4, right?)
- Arlissa
- Jade Parfitt
- Georgina Campbell
- Laura Hayden
- Chloe Howl
- Andreya Triana
Regardless of who people were or what they did, everyone was so lovely, friendly and clearly supportive of Kiehl’s. Plus, you know this must be true, as when am I really this nice about, well, anyone?

N.B. These are my pictures, so please ask before using them elsewhere, otherwise I will find you, and remember what happened when Hayley Carr from LBQ found The Daily Mail using hers.



Solange’s Music
If for some reason you’re not familiar with the clearly more talented Knowles sister, then here is my absolute favourite track of hers, which both me and my friend Ross love.
