Well, everyone, it’s that time of year… the most wonderful time of the year! OK, OK, so some may disagree. But I myself am a sucker for the holiday season no matter how you slice it: flavored-coffee-wise, weather-wise, music-wise, decoration-wise, cookie-wise… and of course… the parties!
Whether you’re hosting, guesting or just going out for cocktails, everyone seems to get a little sparklier this time of year. So I thought I’d do a quick “Deco Holiday” post to feature some pretty dresses, shoes and accessories I’ve had bookmarked for a while. This is only part one!
First up, perennial favorites ModCloth (where I myself just purchased my Christmas Eve ensemble). They’ve got vintage styles from every era, but their 1920s inspired deco looks are (of course) my favorite. Like these absolutely perfect “Dazzling Deco” heels in silver and green.
Um… yeah. To die for. Or these lovely flapper inspired dresses, with a little holiday glitz on one and holiday green on the other:

I’ve been meaning to do a bridesmaid-specific post for a while now, because there are so many gorgeous flapper looks for your bridal party… Photo via Unique Vintage. I just hadn’t managed to get a post together… But I’ve finally been spurred to action by a great tip from ADW reader Heather, who pointed me …
Not all of us are blessed with a treasure trove of beautiful heirloom jewelry, passed down to us from our fabulously wealthy and stylish great-grandmothers. Not everyone can just reach into their closet and pull out the perfect true vintage art deco brooch, or flapper pearls to make the outfit sing. What’s a vintage-loving girl …
We’ve featured the gorgeous designs of Johanna Johnson before (both her Trousseau Bridal collection and her RIDICULOUS-IN-THEIR-BEAUTY 1920s headbands and art deco jewelry)… …and today we need to bring your more deco-y goodness in the form of her 2013 collection, “Still Is The Night, Not So My Heart…”, inspired by the Ziegfield Follies chorus girls …
A couple things become immediately clear from this Bonwit Teller ad (pulled from a 1929 issue of Vogue Magazine). First of all, there is no downside to the drama of a long, gorgeous cap veil.

Art Deco Holiday Fashion || Part One

That’s the Art Deco Ball Dress and the A Frond Farewell Dress, both from ModCloth. In the mood for some deco accessories? They’ve got those too, yes they do:
Deco perfect chevron styling of the Feather Your Cap Headband, amazing black and white deco fan Hip Hop Shape Earrings and the feathery Deco Doll Earrings.
Or how about these guys below? I will take either/both of these dresses, thank you and merry Christmas to ME!
That’s a royal blue satin drop-waist dress by Alberta Ferretti, via The Outnet on the left, and the Deco Lace Maxi dress via Miss Selfridge on the right…. gorgeous, no?
