Well, it must be all those award shows, but I find myself on an vintage-inspired evening gown kick and there’s not much I can do about it (other than Google, and search and pore over endless photos of incredible art deco style evening gowns).

Or, hello, let us all take a look at this marvelous red 1930s style evening gown. The belt, the earrings, the figure, the room…. it’s all perfection. WANT.
This silver Monique Lhuillier art deco evening gown is also gorgeous (could work as a wedding gown, though she has lovely actual wedding gown designs as well.)
So now all I have to do is get invited to an award show so I have somewhere to wear one (or all) of these. Anybody need a +1 for the Oscars?

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 …
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 …
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.

Last up this lovely coral art deco Zac Posen gown. Stretch crepe satin, silk chiffon insets, oh la la! Those sleeves are also weird, and I like it.
