Description My second entry for the Journal Skin January Project (which is run by me).

Prompt/Theme: Floral


This was inspired by a song by Lana Del Rey called Summertime Sadness . I was also inspired by miontre , who did a skin recently for another one of her songs. So go check that out:

I really like this skin. Usually I like minimalistic journal skins a bit better, but I love poppeys and that effect with the red overlay just really works for me. It gives of a bit of a nostalgic vibe, fitting perfectly for the song. I installed it. Thanks you for sharing!

I went and listened to Summertime Sadness just to see what it was like, and you did do a wonderful job at recreating the mood in your skin.

I like the "failed Polaroid" feeling to the red

Very nice!

I like how the background adds to things, especially with the theme of it all and such. It feels pretty organised and neat.

It is a good song. But to me, it gets a little repetitive the thousandth time it's run though my head.

You're welcome!

Thank you!


I had to watch the music video about 20 times to get the proper effects right (no complaints there, though ).

The video is so beautiful! I don't watch many music videos, but Summertime Sadness is just amazing. I was really inspired by the video when I first saw it.

I wonder if they filmed it digitally then edited it, or if the effects are organic! They might've used some organic film and overlaid it onto the digital, kinda like textures

She has quite a few videos in that style, so it wouldn't surprise me if they did do it organically.
