National Anthem

When Lana Del Rey's 'Born to Die' album came out earlier this year,
we immediately proclaimed it as the anthem of our 2012 summer.
As an homage to Lana, we thought we'd capture her Americana style
and her tribute to decades past (primarily, the 1960's) by putting together

a look that unified it all: Big hair, a short hemline, and a peachy Bardot pout.

 

This year it was 103 degrees on the 4th here in Northwest Indiana.
So dreadful! The sun is setting in these pictures, but don't let

it fool you, it stayed just as hot straight through the night. We didn't

let it ruin our celebration plans, though!

Dress and shoes are vintage, bought at Yesterdaze in South Tampa, Florida.
Bag and poodle pin are from the Antique Market in Michigan City, Indiana.
