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!
There’s something to be said for the deco-purist, the 20s enthusiast still wearing period-appropriate underpinnings and loving every minute. But there’s also a loveliness to the reinterpretation of old classics, like this gorgeous almost punk, almost goth, all 1920s wedding look. Stunning! 1920s punk pinup look.

I came across these incredible 1920s headbands and accessories by Gibson Bespoke recently and couldn’t wait to share them with you guys. I had to post these designs ASAP because… wow. Just wow. The collections include 1920s style headbands, all kind of deco bridal jewelry, necklaces, fascinators… they are art deco perfection, and in my …
A little over a week to Halloween, hopefully some costume ideas are coalescing for everyone. Perhaps you’re ahead of the curve and already have your costume planned, purchased and prepped… but for those of us who tend to procrastinate, we’ve pulled together some perfect pieces to create the ideal flapper Halloween costume. Going for a …
Out and about recently I saw a girl with the most amazing art deco manicure, and I immediately realized: of course, NAILS needed to be a post! Can’t believe we haven’t done it already, though we’ve had some posts featuring 1920s Makeup… but check these out: If you’re planning your wedding, you’ve probably already thought …
