There’s always something about the ’60s that makes it a great source of inspiration. From the mod movement to the hippies, this decade has truly left a mark. This is probably why 1960s fashion is so huge as a trend this year, and stemming from that trend: false eye lashes. These nifty little things allow us to bring out our inner vintage vixens without going…

It’s been an eclectic week for us, with Fashionising.com’s office temporarily moved beach side in Gran Canaria. Thus as we moved from London to Spain, our musical tastes moved too.

In follow up to the last Gatsby trailer with it’s taste of modern music, we now get an extended TV spot: this one set entirely to Lana Del Rey’s Young and Beautiful.

Live fast, die young. Be wild and have fun. Breaking rules and climbing fences, baring skin and letting emotions run wild. Jarrad Kevin’s shoot of model Cecilia captures that sense of rebellion that’s been a fascination in society for far longer than we can recall. It’s a sentiment reborn in a new way with each new generation, from the famous line “Live fast, die young…

What do you associate with Lana Del Rey? Her lyrics tend to center on bad girls, whiskey on tongues and diamonds om wrists, red dresses and blue jeans. But H&M’s latest campaign to feature the starlet offers up none of that. Del Rey’s trademark hair and makeup are in check, but everything else – aside from a few hair accessorises – is a colourless, featureless…
