West End Girl: Glossy Gift Ideas Inspired By Lily Allen

By The Gloss

Is Lily Allen your Christmas muse?

The English singer-songwriter Lily Allen has been a favourite of mine since she made prom dresses with sneakers a thing with her first big hit, Smile, back in 2006. It’s a delight to see the sharp-tongued voice of a MySpace generation back in the spotlight with her most vulnerable album yet, West End Girl. The album has listeners hooked with Lily’s trademark unfiltered lyrics, this time about the painful breakdown of her marriage to David Harbour. The cool mum and co-host of the Miss Me? podcast (with Miquita Oliver), Lily has an irreverent humour, while her style balances boldness and glamour. Find a gift inspired by her tastes – playful, witty, and reflective of the kinds of things you might spot in her handbag. @lilyallen
