I have very few regrets about my wedding day, but one eensy tiny teensy one did pop up after we got all the photos and the video and we were oohing and ahhing over everything and then I looked some more and… umm.. oh. Hey, so… why didn’t anyone tell me my hair looked like that towards the end of the evening? And by “that” I mean “like I had sprayed it with maple syrup and then danced in front of an industrial strength fan for 20 minutes.” But you know what: as regrets go, I’ll take it. I loved every minute of my wedding, and my hair did too.
HOWEVER. You may want to do something I did not: bring a purse, or have someone set it down at your table on your wedding day. Not a giant hobo bag, just a lovely little art deco clutch with some essentials in it (like a mirror, or whatever those essentials are to you: Powder? Cigarette? Lip Gloss? Flask?). And so today’s post, helpful to any lady enamored of art deco style (not just those who are getting married): art deco bags! Perfect vintage style clutches, just for you.
Next up, for a bride with a more daring color scheme (or for a lover of art deco any other time) — this gorgeous green and black clutch from Diane Von Furstenberg. I love the colors, I love the machine-age chain strap, I love the design, I love it all.
I also love the sturdy squareness of this Swarovski Kiosque Evening Bag. Vintage style minaudières are lovely, something very satisfying about those clean lines, no?

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 …
How gorgeous are these art deco headbands, vintage style hairpieces and accessories from designer Johanna Johnson? I love how they’re unmistakably vintage-inspired, but there’s nothing fussy about them. They’d pair so beautifully with 1920s style gowns, of course, but I’m hard-pressed to think of a bridal look they wouldn’t complement. Welcome to LovelyTown. (click the …

Shoes, glorious shoes! That’s what today’s post is all about. Shoes, ladies. Art deco shoes, 1920s shoes, flapper shoes up the wazoo(s). There is no time to waste, there are too many shoes to get to. First up, I have to share a find I made. I am tempted not to tell you all about …

Also a fan of this copper beaded crystal clutch from Inge Christoper. Just lovely, right? The colors alone are perfection (it also apparently comes in a black and silver variation.)

Another Art Deco beauty from Judith Leiber , and this is absolutely incredible! (with a price tag to match).
