One of the downsides to starting this site is that I am forever finding things I want to have. I want them for me. I want them now. I’m discovering things I didn’t even know existed and I want them.

If you’re in the market for a 1920s veil (or just love to browse beautiful vintage fashion trends!), you’re in luck: today we’re sharing some of our favorite Jazz Age inspired beauties, with a variety of classic Juliet Cap veils to ooh and ahh over.
As we noted in the last post, Gatsby style is back this year, and and although part of me hates it when things I love become popular, the other part of me loves it when it means other people put together well-curated collections of deco looks for me to ooh and ah over! Like this …
