I am OBSESSED with Lana Del Rey. If you don’t know who she is, YouTube her music right now and don’t read any further until you have listened and fallen in love with her. She is being described as the modern day Nancy Sinatra with street edge (however I know that she grew up in a small town in upstate NY with my BFF so girl ain’t that street). I could probably write like 20 pages on Lana Del Rey but instead I am going to show you how to get her album cover style for less, floral crown and all. Don’t forget to enter my giveaway to win a fringe bikini!

1. Lana Rose Crown – $100
2. Colorblocked Bandini Swim Top – $88
3. Gold Tone Bad Double Finger Ring – $13
