She may be singing "Blue Velvet," but Lana Del Rey doesn't wear any of that material in the much-anticipated spot for H&M's Fall 2012 campaign. The singer does don plenty of clothes from the Swedish retailer while she's ferried around the set and in front of the camera of Johan Renck, who has created a universe for the ad that draws on the work of filmmaker David Lynch. The full ad is expected to be released on Sept. 20; for now, a sneak peek in the video below.

Crave Worthy: Room and Board Quinn Chair

I may have once written that blue velvet is a fall luxury, but I lied.

I may have once written that blue velvet is a fall luxury, but I lied. Sorry, it's May now and I still can't resist the rich and warm color and texture of it. Dressed in the luxurious material, the Room and Board Quinn Chair ($749) is no exception; I can't keep my eyes off of it. I'm also really loving the combination of the chair's mid-century lines with the velvet, which is more commonly used with Louis-style and Baroque furnishings. Then, consider that my beloved Quinn just looks like a comfortable place to sit and enjoy a delicate few, and maybe you'll understand why my heart is aching for him. Yes, Quinn's a him. I hope my fiancé doesn't mind if I elope with this chair instead . . .

Shak in Style recently blogged about the gorgeous, luxe look of blue velvet, and I absolutely fell in love with the photos she chose, and had to repost them here. I love how rich and warm these colors and textures appear. I've actually owned both a green and a burgundy Victorian velvet sofa, though I would've vastly preferred a deep, rich blue velvet over either of those colors. I especially love this Carter Sofa (inquire at website for price).
