Today’s post is all about the deep, abiding love we have for that smoky eyed, pouty-lipped flapper look. Sugar and spice is a perfect embodiment of the flapper style, and I absolutely adore modern variations on the dark eyes and red lips of the era.

Something old, something new, something borrowed, and this gorgeous art deco feather fascinator can be your something… Something Blue No 2 Fascinator from Lo Boheme. A little deco, a little nouveau, all gorgeous.
