Get The Look: Lana Del Rey Vogue Cover


The whole world has gone a little bit Lana Del Rey mad as of recent.  Her album, Born To Die, was released last Monday and went straight to the top of the UK album charts. To celebrate my minor girl crush, I thought I'd do a get the look from her recent Vogue cover debut.


On the cover she wears Louis Vuitton S/S12, but for those of you with a less extravagant budget, here's a high street alternative to the look.

The dress for this look is from Lipsy, costing £58, whilst the ring (which is the exact one Lana is sporting on the cover) is from Topshop, costing £8.50. It's hard to see on the cover photo, but she's wearing a bow belt in a creamy beige, this one from Topshop is a great alternative, £16.  I'm incredibly envious of Miss Del Rey's locks, to get that swept back look try this Oasis hair comb at £12 from ASOS.  To get the perfect winged liner that Lana sports here, try the MAC Penultimate Liner, £15 online and instore.  

What do you think of Lana Del Rey, love her or loathe her?
Now it wouldn't be right if I didn't leave you with my favourite song off the album, This Is What Makes Us Girls.

How the devil are ya?!



What a week it's been!  As with many bloggers out there, I've experienced problems with logging in, but touch wood that's all fixed now as I'm finally logged back in.  I thought I'd catch you up on my past week, a couple of things I've been loving as well as just general chit chat.  I have a million blog ideas, but felt odd just bombarding you with them straight off.

So first of all, I finished my first year of university this Thursday.  If you aren't familiar with what I study, I major in Fashion Journalism.  It's been an intense first year and I'm extremely impressed with the work I've managed to produce.  I have a feeling (and because a lecturer told a few of us we have pretty much a hand in a week) that next year is going to be tough, but bring it on!  Here's my final piece of work, which was the efforts of a group of five and we had to make and edit a 3 minute topical fashion or music film. Well we pulled together and chose a theme with both topics in mind, and I think we were all proud of what we achieved.



I've of course, been online 'screen' shopping, trying to find some inspiration for when I have a bit of cash.  At the moment i'm faced with the battle of the beige/terracotta blazer:

ASOS; £50

Vs.

H&M; £19.99

Tell me you're pick in the comments section!

Rachel Furner, friend and musician uploaded a video of the gig I went to, to interview her.  I was unaware they were filming at the time, but there are a few shots of us chatting which crept into the video.  If you like her, then here's the video.  Love the editing at the end as well!


This week I've been trialling a new Avon moisturiser, which isn't out until next month.  It's called Solutions: Perfect Tone (or something like that..)  It's worked perfectly for my skin and hasn't as yet, broken me out.  Full review coming up soon. 

So that's a round up of my week without blogging.  If i'm honest, I was slightly lost without my blog these past few days.  Normal blogging to resume (fingers crossed) tomorrow.  Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
