Lily Allen wanted a fancy dress shop

Singer Lily Allen had plans to open a fancy dress shop before she settled for a vintage store.

The "Not Fair" singer, currently expecting her first child, recently opened a vintage clothing store with sister Sarah Owens, reports contactmusic.com.

"When I got pregnant, I decided to wind down a bit. So Sarah and I thought it would be a good moment to open the shop we'd been thinking of doing for years. Originally, it was going to be a fancy dress shop but because of our passion for vintage clothing, we thought this would work better," said Allen.

She says the decision to open a high-quality vintage store came after she saw many girls dressed like her.

"One of my 'light bulb' moments came when I went to a Christmas party and five people had the same high street dress on as I had. Plus the quality doesn't compare," she said

Pregnant Lily Allen Living in Fear

Pop star Lily Allen has revealed she's living in fear of miscarrying her baby with boyfriend Sam Cooper after losing her first child at the beginning of 2008.

The Smile singer admits her pregnancy has not been joyful so far - because she's haunted by her former baby tragedy. And she reveals her second pregnancy has been "really difficult".

Allen tells Britain's Sunday Times, "I came off the pill and, weirdly, a week later it happened. But then it was really difficult, I had complications.

Allen, the daughter of actor Keith Allen and screenwriter Alison Owen, explains, It's not that I didn't enjoy my childhood, because I did, but I suppose I was always quite fascinated by how a normal family would operate

"I had about a week and a half of really heavy bleeding and had to havelots of scans... I've been living in fear for the past three months".

But that hasn't put her off her motherhood dreams "I've probably been saying it since I was seven". The singer plans to retire from the music industry to concentrate on motherhood - and she's desperate to give her child the "normal" family upbringing she once craved.

Allen, the daughter of actor Keith Allen and screenwriter Alison Owen, explains, "It's not that I didn't enjoy my childhood, because I did, but I suppose I was always quite fascinated by how a normal family would operate.

"Everyone I knew when I was growing up came from divorced parents. I doremember when I had my first proper boyfriend at 16, going to his parents' house in Ireland and we all sat round had dinner together and I was really overwhelmed by the whole thing".

Lily Allen has slammed pop star search shows

The 'Not Fair' singer claims the popular programmes, which include Simon Cowell's flagship UK programme 'The X Factor', are nothing more than prolonged adverts to sell records.

She wrote on her twitter page: "It's a tv show. a vehicle created for pop acts to sell more records at a difficult time of year. Don't delude yourself. (sic)"

Lily has had a good week winning the British Female Solo Artist prize at the BRIT Awards on Tuesday night (16.02.10).

But some of her twitter followers are unhappy with her win and think Leona Lewis - who shot to fame after winning the 2006 series of 'The X Factor' - was a more deserving nominee.

Ripped Denim: fashion trend 2009, 2010

Ripped denim hasn't really been big since the grunge days of the 90s... so it may come as a surprise that it is back as a fashion trend for women in Spring-Summer 2008. Kate Moss wore ripped denim shorts in a shoot for April 2008's Vogue Paris, and then we spotted these shots of Gisele Bundchen on set with Mario Testino in a rather revealing torn denim outfit.

On the runways, Christopher Kane's Spring/Summer 2008 collection brought faded and torn skinny jeans back onto the agenda. Maison Martin Margiela's collection was also littered with shredded up denim pieces (below, right) that took ripped denim to the extreme.

From jeans to skirts to shorts, torn denim is also being embraced by certain members of the celebrity world, including Lily Allen and Lindsay Lohan, below.

So how does the 2008 take on ripped jeans differ from its past incarnations? The short answer is, it doesn't really. Well not much anyway - it's more about how it's worn than the pieces themselves. Unlike from the rebellious heavy metal torn denim of the 80s, or the loose grungy jeans of the 90s, the 08-09 ripped denim trend is all about being sexy and revealing. So will you be wearing ripped denim this year?

I am comfortable getting them out - tits are tits

Lily Allen has said that she has no qualms about showing off her twin assets and is comfortable getting her boobs out.

The singer confessed on her Twitter page that she had no fear in dropping her layers and baring it all.

“I’m comfortable getting them out - t*ts are t*ts.” News of the World quoted her as saying.

The 24-year-old recently posed in just a gold necklace for the latest edition of i-D magazine.

She was said to have covered an unusual feature, a third nipple, with her little finger just below her left breast.

An onlooker said: “Lily enjoyed stripping off. She’s proud of her body.”
