Actress Keira Knightley is in the process of opening her very own fashion store in London/

"Keira is obviously at the top of her game in the acting world, but it feels like the time is right to experiment with new things too," a source from The Sunday Mirror explained.  "She's a huge fan of fashion, particularly anything vintage or alternative, so it's a perfect new opportunity. She's excited by the idea and is committed to making it work."

AhlanLive reports that the "Begin Again" star, who first began her fashion store venture earlier this year, is currently in the midst of looking for plot to build her store on.

In 2010, singer Lily Allen also embarked on a similar venture with her sister Sarah to create her own fashion store, Express U.K. reports. Allen's store was designed as a vintage boutique called "Lucy in Disguise," which closed earlier this year and has now solely become an online store. [Express UK]

In addition to working on her store, the 29-year-old actress is also starring in a number of upcoming movies, according to WebProNews.

In "Laggies", set to release next month, Knightley stars in the film about a woman stuck in permanent adolescence who befriends a high school student played by Chloe Grace Moretz.

Knightley also stars alongside Benedict Cumberbatch in the film "The Imitation Game" set to release on Nov. 21. In the film, Knightley plays crossword enthusiast, Joan Clarke. [Web Pro News]

"I think she's [Keira Knightley ] so underrated as an actress. She has such a wide range," Morten Tyldum, "The Imitation Game" director told The Daily Mail.

Knightley's co-star Benedict Cumberbatch agreed with Tyldum's comments adding,

"She's so completely down to earth, and incredibly wise. We first worked together on 'Atonement' and would bump into each other and we promised we would work together again, if the right thing came up."
