Jean Paul Gaultier's Amy Winehouse Tribute Show

Jean Paul Gaultier decided to do a tribute to remember Amy Winehouse and her style during his S/S runway show this week. Many of the fashion pieces seen on the runway were inspired by Amy's style as well as the hair and makeup. Gaultier himself said “She was an icon of fashion and truly, the sense of how she mixed the clothes — it was great,” I think it was a really cool idea and was a great tribute. However, Amy's own father is not happy with the runway show and told The Sun that “We’re still grieving for her loss, and we’ve had a difficult week with the six-month anniversary of Amy’s death. To see her image lifted wholesale to sell clothes was a wrench we were not expecting, or consulted on. It portrays a view of Amy when she was not at her best, and glamorizes some of the more upsetting times in her life,” Now, it probably would have been a good idea to get the okay before doing the show, but I don't think this was some sort of gimmick to make more money; simply a tribute to Amy and her style. I think it was tastefully done and the models and pieces look great.
What do you think?

Music Feature: Lana Del Rey

I'm probably a little behind on this but I'm currently obsessed with Lana Del Rey! The first time I heard of her was on MTV when they featured her video for Born to Die on one of their commercials. Watch it below (I also think the guy is hot haha).

A friend also shared her music video with me and I started to hear about her a bit online. It wasn't until today that I actually decided to look into her a bit more and bough her music off iTunes. Ever since then I've been listening to her on repeat! She has a great voice; it's gritty and deep but can also be very almost angelic at times. Also a little tidbit; her single Born to Die is the free single of the week on iTunes! Get it here. I definitely feel like she is going to blow up, even though she has been getting some negative criticism for her appearance on SNL. You can watch those performances here. I don't think she did horrible, but I can see why she has gotten some backlash for it. She's obviously nervous which you can't really blame her for! She could use some more stage presence for sure. I also love this cover of her for Interview magazine:

Her first album hasn't even come out yet and there's already tons of hype around her. It finally comes out on January 30 and I will definitely be buying it!
