I went to support one of my oldest friends Liz Mendez shop launch last week for her new vintage store Lucy In Disguise in Covent Garden at the start of London Fashion Week. The shop is the brainchild of sisters Lilly and Sarah Allen and Liz is responsible for all the accessories in the shop and has put allot of time and effort into sourcing pieces from across the World.

The shop itself is very cute and the layout is great, as they have section for different decades, 40's, 50's 60's etc which makes it easy to find stuff- the 80's section for me was the best (no brainer) with some fabulous jackets.
They have found some beautiful pieces from Lacroix to Chanel from LA, San Fran, Paris from Liz, Lilly & Sarah's trips all over the globe. The prices do reflect the quality and the high end labels & also the simple fact that everyone is now into vintage, ergo you will have to have quite deep pockets to shop at Lucy In Disguise, however they also do cute little 'lucy' bags and T- shirts with their illustrated logo on.
The launch party last Wednesday at the shop was fulled with the friends and family of Liz, Lilly and Sarah including musicians, fashionistas and magazine peeps alongside some random tabloid chicks. It was a fun way to showcase the clothes with free champagne, music from DJ Seb Chew and goodie bags. The place was rammed to the rafters and the obligatory Paparazzi lay in wait for some Danielly Lloyd/ Lilly/ Meg Mathews action ;)
Liz's accessories really were the highlight of the shop for me, so I have posted some pics of them below. She will be hiring some of the more spectacular pieces including headwear out for shoots. Email lizmendez1@me.com for more info
