Where has she been?? Lana Del Rey has certainly been mia lately. But late last night she world premiered her new video for "Chelsea Hotel No 2", a cover done first by singer/songwriter, Leonard Cohen.
Of course she looks beautiful in the clip. Wearing her trademark heavy eyeliner, 60's huge false lashes, nude lips, and giant chocolate tresses, Lana could be mistaken for Miss America instead of a singer (but that's per usual).
The track, one surprisingly I have never heard before, is sad, introspective and deep, much like the works of Miss Del Rey herself. It's gorgeously stripped down, mostly just her husky, echoey, breathy whisper of a voice, and an acoustic guitar. Leonard Cohen wrote the tune, which appeared on his 1974 album, "New Skin For The Old Ceremony" about his short romance with the infamous Janis Joplin at the long-time NYC celeb infested haunt, The Chelsea Hotel.
Will the song be on an upcoming release? Not sure, but I can never get enough of LDR. Can you? What do YOU think of her version of Leonard Cohen's "Chelsea Hotel No 2"? Loves or Leaves?

Some Resolutions For 2013
We're now officially ONE WEEK into the new year! Man, time really flies. 2012 was a blur, I had some incredible times with friends and family, found an amazing man who treats me right, got the opportunity to start writing for BUZZNET, visited some insanely awesome places and so much more. It always takes me forever to come up with New Years Resolutions that I'll actually stick to, it's easy to get sidetracked and slip back into old ways. I am vowing to myself and to those close to me that I will stay on the right track to get myself better than EVER this year and that all starts with figuring out your resolutions! It's all about how you're going to better yourself for the new year. How you're going to change the bad habits, how you're going to do something new and fresh and how you're going to challenge yourself. These are all things people keep in mind when making their annual resolution list. Me? Well, I definitely know there are ways I can be better.
Here are MY resolutions for 2013:
-Learn how to play piano
-Go back to school (only 2 years to go!)
-Get my vintage and unique clothing/antique/furniture store up and running
-Try out more unique makeup looks, instead of my everyday go to
-Do more yoga
-Be the best person I can be for myself and my loved ones, always
-Go on more adventures
-Write more
-Visit Spain
-Grow my blogs and get millions of followers =]
Those are just a few, haha. I've also included a gallery from my adventures from the last few months. From Disneyland and my mom coming to visit, to going to the Petersen Auto Museum, to Christmas and New Years Eve festivities and more. Kittens, I have a feeling 2013 is going to be my year!

Nothing Lasts Whatever: Unif 2012 Holiday Lookbook
90's souls are PSYCHED right now. Totally tubular! (That's 90's lingo right? Alright, alright, I'll go pop Cluelessback into my VHS and get myself in check, don't yell at me.) Unif, the punky, all black everythaaang, DGAF attitude clothing line just tweeted the link to their brand new lookbook, "Nothing Lasts Whatever". It looks like it was all shot with disposible cameras, and it's certainly as grungy, early 90's Seattle as it can get. Tie-die and all. I am obsessed with the leather cross dress, the leopard spiked jacket, and the Dear Satan sweater, but everything else is just eh to me. The styling could've been a little better for the shoot but eh, it's Unif and their pieces kick my ass so it's ok. I would however like those three items inder my tree Santa, please and thanks.
