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!
Dolores Del Río was a silent screen star in the 1920s, a luminous icon of 1930s Hollywood, and then became one of Mexican film’s greatest stars. Born María de los Dolores Asúnsolo López-Negrete in 1904, she was one of the first and most beloved Latin American crossover stars in Hollywood. She had a torrid love affair …
How gorgeous are these art deco headbands, vintage style hairpieces and accessories from designer Johanna Johnson? I love how they’re unmistakably vintage-inspired, but there’s nothing fussy about them. They’d pair so beautifully with 1920s style gowns, of course, but I’m hard-pressed to think of a bridal look they wouldn’t complement. Welcome to LovelyTown. (click the …
Well, the trailer for Baz Luhrmann’s long-awaited (or long-dreaded, depending on your tastes…) version of The Great Gatsby is here! That is… well, it is interesting. Interestingly scored, interestingly cast… there will certainly be lots to look at, style-wise. The Great Gatsby is a perennial favorite for vintage-wedding inspiration, and there is certainly a lot …
If you’re planning a wedding you may already be familiar with the treasure trove that is Etsy. With a dizzying array of authentic vintage and handmade, one-of-a-kind vintage-inspired goods (like the stunning vintage veils we’re about to feature), you could pretty much do 100% of your wedding sourcing there…. Frankly, it’s pretty much a wedding …
