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 Great Gatsby look? Unique Vintage is kinda one-stop shopping. I could honestly have posted every single one of their flapper dresses, I love ’em all! Plus they range in price from under $100 for the more costume-y kind, to about $2-300 for those incredible glass beaded beauties that you will wear for special occasions again and again. Take a look:
Right? I would like them all, please. I will change into a different dress every half hour, all day on Halloween. DECADENTLY GATSBY STYLE!
Modcloth also has some excellent flapper shoes if you need something to match/enhance your flapper costume. There’s the gorgeous silver Night in Napier heel:
Simply stunning, perfect deco details and an authentic low flapper heel. But if you need a little more height, a little more oomph, check out the S’Marvelous Heel (in black or red):
And don’t forget you can always browse the rest of the site for our previous posts to help with stuff like 1920s makeup ideas or art deco Hollywood inspiration. Hope everyone has a very happy Halloween!

I recently spied some crazy-beautiful deco shoes while browsing the web and realized it had been far too long since we did a shoe post, so it’s time take a look at some new ideas for the perfect art deco wedding shoes. First up, the inspiration for this post, and the kind of thing that …
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.
