Lily Allen sells her soul to Vintage

The always adorable Lily Allen is getting ready to launch her new, reworked vintage clothing line. Her line is called Lucy in Disguise. A cute play on the Beatles song I presume.

Designer Wayne Hemingway a summer festival celebrating British music and fashion. Sandie Shaw, Heaven 17, Aswad, Buzzcocks and The Damned will be some of the acts performing at Vintage at Goodwood in West Sussex in August.

Earlier this year, Allen had announced she would be taking a break from music. Her new endeavors include this collection of reworked vintage clothing. She is partnering with her sister and some friends.

I know people often criticize celebrities who think they can launch a clothing line, act, sing, and basically anything under the sun. But in the case of musicians, I think they actually have a firmer connection to fashion than actors or socialcelebutantes

What suits you ? Vintage style !

The important thing with fashion do's and dont's is to get to know your body, find out what your body shape is and embrace it.

Us women are all built diffrently, We are all 'Unique' each one different in our own way. But we do have one thing in common we all want to accentuate our positives and take focus off our less favoured assets.

Here is some advice on choosing vintage clothing to suit your body shape, But remember if you feel good and walk tall with a smile you will look good regardless of shape or size.

Hourglass Lovelys
The 1950's LOVED a shapely hourglass figure like Marilyn's. Cinched waists, snug cardigan sweaters, and hip skimming capri pants or pencil skirts make an hourglass figure look at its best.

Perfect Pears
A-line dresses circa the 1960's can be very flattering on pear shapes, just watch the length and fabric type. Longer skirt style like those of the 1970s combined with a fitted top are a great fit, but avoid the hip hugging bell bottom styles of the same decade.

Juicy Apples
With a sizable bust and shapely legs, pick one to show off. Any decade that doesn't emphasize the waist will look great on this body shape including the 30s, 60s, 70s.

Rectangle Sweet Hearts
1930's flapper styles, 40's wide shouldered suits, and straight 60's mod styles were made for this body shape. Any waist or bustline emphasis will backfire on this shape.

This trend was seen on the catwalk at Balmain, Marc Jacobs, Celine, Chloe, Stella McCartney, Louis Vuitton and countless others. The key to this trend is khaki colours, muted camoflage prints and tailored military style pieces with military detailing, mixing your neutrals with some graphic African prints gives a tribal warrior twist.

Go Green wear vintage

Most vintage clothing lovers have a certain something in their personality that draws them to wearing it. There are lots of reasons why vintage is such a great choice, but the most fulfilling reason is that wearing vintage clothing is the most environmentally friendly way of dressing.

Every time you buy or wear vintage clothing instead of newly manufactured clothing you are recycling. That clothing is getting a second chance and being saved from the landfill every time you wear it. An average of 11.8 million tons of clothing per year gets thrown away.

For every new item of clothing that is made, A substantial carbon footprint is left behind. Fuel used in manufacture, fuel to transport and fuel to ship the finished product; it all adds up for something so small. The amount of energy needed to produce vintage clothing is zero & most vintage retailers buy wholesale/bulk so the shipping costs are far less.

The dyes, chemicals, and processes used to produce wrinkle resistant, colorfast, soft, unshrinkable modern clothing are not what anyone would call eco-friendly. Often the waste from manufacturing clothing like jeans is dumped into the water supply in the third world country that they are manufactured in. Why would you want that chemical weight on your body or on your conscience?
