Singer-songwriter Lianne La Havas says she spent 200 pounds ($307) on retro clothes when she got her first paycheck.

The "Is Your Love Big Enough" hitmaker also said she purchased the clothes from her favourite vintage shop, Beyond Retro, here.

"I went to Beyond Retro, which is my favourite vintage shop, and spent 200 pounds. It felt very outrageous, but I got so much and used it all on the tour," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Havas as saying.

The 23-year-old shot to fame with the help of her close friend, singer Paloma Faith. Last year she suffered from a kidney infection and cut out on alcohol, cigarettes and coffee. The singer insisted that she still strives to lead a healthier lifestyle.

"I do drink now. You can have a good time and still have moderation. I'll have a burger, but I balance it out. I enjoy putting good things in my body as well as the naughty things," said Havas.

"I lost loads of weight initially but I've recently started to see a personal trainer, which is cool. And I feel great. I like being pushed and I love the feeling you get after working out," she added.
