Hello all! Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend so far. I’m very excited about tonight’s return of one of the most stylish shows on television, Boardwalk Empire. This is a show that started out looking pretty, but being not-so-great (in my most humble of opinions), but by the end of last season it was not only gorgeous, it was oh-so-great, so I can’t wait for tonight’s season premiere!
(note, vis a vis premieres: I know our lucky lucky friends in the UK are also getting the premiere of Downton Abbey tonight, like maybe right now, but we are Downton-less over here for another few months so I can’t bring myself to even talk about it, though I’m SURE there will be much to talk about as the show enters the roaring 20s. Gahhhhh so jealous of you all! NO SPOILERS PLEASE.)
So back to what we have here in the States, which is Boardwalk Empire, and to be sure, they are no slouches in the “incredible 20s style costuming and set design” departments. Take a look, and click through for larger images. (all photos courtesy HBO.)
And finally, a fabulous compilation of some of the best shots of the series, and there are lots of ’em… (probably best to only watch this if you’re caught up with the show, or you plan on never watching it, cause it may be a bit spoiler-y…)
Time to start mixing martinis for tonight’s premiere party!
Today’s post is about art deco dresses (though not art deco wedding dresses: they get a separate category).

We posted a while back about the trailer for Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby film, but its release was then delayed by months and months…. But the time is upon us now! The movie comes out this weekend, and while feelings on it may be mixed, there’s one thing we can all agree on… Tiffany …
Dolores Del Río was a silent screen star in the 1920s, a luminous icon of 1930s Hollywood, and then became one of Mexican film’s greatest stars. Born María de los Dolores Asúnsolo López-Negrete in 1904, she was one of the first and most beloved Latin American crossover stars in Hollywood. She had a torrid love affair …
Admittedly, it’s true that I will take any excuse to think about/talk about/dream about cake. CAKE! Glorious, wondrous cake. Today’s excuse? This collection of vintage Art Deco cake toppers, perfect for a 1920s themed soiree, and the ideal accompaniment to delicious cake. First, this delicate vintage paper-scrap piece, adorned with silver-plated glass glitter. This piece …
