Deco Accessories


I hope some of you have had the chance to see the new Gatsby movie.  I haven't yet but fill me in what you thought.

I had a splendid Mother's Day.  I'll share these pictures this week.  I first wanted to share with you that I have an article in "Hey Doll!"   This e-magazine is superb.  Guess what, it's free too!  So, no excuse for not clicking on the link.   The wonderful Bunny and Brittany do a fabulous job of appealing to vintage lovin' hep cats like ourselves.  The current issue explores Great Gatsby themes and is right up my alley.  There were so wonderful contributors and I thought this issue was front row clap worthy. Right on ladies!

I did an article on assuit shawls and I thought I'd share some other photographs taken at the same time.  I had a lot of fun with this article.  My outfit is vintage with the exception of the shoes which are Re-mix.

Outfit Details

Dress (1920's)- Etsy black silk charmeuse in great condition. Consetta's Closet.
Feather Hair Comb (1920's) -$32 and worth every penny so awesome vintage Etsy YoungRelic 
Necklace (1920's) -I believe I got it from RubyLane during one of their 50% off tag sales
Headband (1920's)- hand-beaded with amazing detail.  Ebay $50.
Gloves -vintage (1950's)  looking back I wish I would have foregone the gloves as in most deco period photographs the ladies didn't actually wear gloves.  Oh, well next time:)
Shawl -Assuit (1920's).  Read the article for more details on these beauties!  Total works of art.
Shoes -Re-mix on sale
Peacock Fan -ebay  (from what I understand peacocks naturally molt and loose their tail feathers in the fall)

    *PS* Thank you very much for your wonderful (most recent) email this weekend, sweet Joanna. I really wasn't feeling too great on Sat and Sun and wasn't on the computer much as a result, but am a touch better today, so hopefully I'll be able to reply to it really soon. ♥
