It takes a lot for me to be impressed by some modern starlet in some modern outfits, but Lily Allen has apparently been out and about wearing a lot of covetable pieces lately. I’ve been a bit behind since before Christmas, mind you I’m usually 30-40 years behind anyway, and have been attempting to catch up lately. Nothing really impressed me until I saw Lily in the cream jacket (wantwantwant). Then my friend said she’d seen a photo of her in a jumpsuit I would just adore (even my non-vintage friends know me all too well…..”hmmm, a jumpsuit, better tell Liz!”).
Then I did a bit of searching and found the lovely blue chiffon number AND the awesomely 80s-esque black mini with some seriously avant garde styling. Team all this with a super cute haircut and well done make-up and you’ve got a mini style icon in the making. I’d be more impressed if they turned out to be vintage, but they’re probably repros. Sigh. Well, you can’t have everything can you?
I’m still no fan of her casual gear, but I’m going to ignore that for now…..

Yup, the chick definitely seems to have come a long way since annoyingly wearing 50s dresses teamed with trainers.
Yeah, she’s been wearing some great stuff. The teal dress is by Alberta Ferreti and is to die for! Have you seen the back? http://www.fashionising.com/diary/p–Lily-Allen-at-Matthew-Freuds-Christmas-Party-2008-1925-22040.htmlI've been actually looking into buying it, rather embarassingly, but it is just so Stevie Nicks! I wish I could wear it to Fleetwood Mac in March.The dress with the sheer panel is Armand Basi and is definitely hot!
Hi there-she does look gorgeous!
I’m envious of her shoe collection..
before I knew who on earth she was I was flicking through TV channels and stopped to admire her fab black dress and huge perfectly backcombed hair. She was on Jonathan Ross’s show and she told him it was vintage Chanel (I think). She was deeply in love with her fabulous dress and so was I. I quickly decided that whoever she was or whatever she did, I thought she was rather fab.Wasn’t into the Bambi print on the Giles Deacon dress she wore to the Glamour awards though.
Oh yeah Lily definately has some amazing pieces!
