Born To Die: Lana Del Ray

The past couple weeks all I’ve been hearing about was Lana Del Ray. I’ve seen her videos posted on Facebook, her name trending on Yahoo’s front page and even heard about her performance on SNL. Who is she and why is she everywhere? Is she any good? Is she just another Lady Gaga clone that some record company is trying to push?

Like I do for most things I don’t know much, I turned to my trusty friends Google and YouTube to educate me. What did I discover? I now love Lana Del Ray. And in honor of Lana Del Ray’s album, Born To Die, being released today, I wanted to discuss exactly why I and everyone else at Chi Chi and The Greek adore Lana as well. 

First and foremost, her music is actually good and her voice is hauntingly beautiful. But the thing that caught our attention the most was what she was wearing in her music video for Born to Die. The gorgeous long white dress and that white fringed leather jacket. Lana has this very feminine retro-glamour look, with this unique take on vintage. Lots of floral, lace, ruffles and lingerie. Considering right now our biggest fashion influences in music are the likes of Gaga, Perry and Minaj with their over the top colorful costumes…Lana is like a breath of fresh air.

From what we seen so far, we are adoring her style and can’t wait to see what else she has in store for us. We definitely recommend keeping your eyes on Lana, because we have a feeling her style will be influencing a lot more than just our mannequins at the store. 

Now, is it me or does she remind you a bit of Nancy Sinatra?
