Singer Lily Allen arrived at early this morning on a horse-drawn carriage to be greeted by the Harrod’s owner Mohamed Al Fayed and opened the famous sale in cheeky mode telling the eager crowds: “I have had a preview and there is not much left!” Dressed in a black sequined sleeveless dress by Jasmine di Milo and silver high heels, Allen toured the store, while giggling like a kid in a candy store. Some stops included the fine jewelry department where she posed wearing a diamond watch by Chopard and a necklace by Cartier. On what she will be wearing in 2008 she exclaimed: “Maternity clothes!” She also confessed that she hadn’t found out yet what hip and stylish moms-to-be wear, but she has declined offers to design her own maternity line. “I am not the right person. My demographic is young girls and I don’t think it would be suitable.” Allen also proved to be a girls’ girl, honing in on “jewelry and handbags and shoes.” Any tips for finding a bargain? She told PEOPLE “I am not good at finding bargains. I am good at finding expensive ones.” One thing she is avoiding is cigarettes — the newly pregnant singer declared that she “has given up smoking.”

Every morning, no matter how put-together our work outfit is, we almost always ruin it with our commute-friendly footwear. Right now, we’re bundling up with soft-soled tall boots (or even Uggs on the chilliest N.Y.C. days). We simply couldn’t make the trek to work any other way. Of course, once we’re there, we swap the sensible shoes for some stylish heels, but we can’t help but envy the women who seem to effortlessly wear their stilettos through their morning commute. And then there are the women, like Jessica Biel, who make flat-soled shoes look spectacular any time of day. Tell us: What kind of shoes do you wear on your commute? Do you wear your high heels? Do you change once you get into work?
