Get The Look! 1920s

Fearne Cotton is the picture of elegance in this form fitting, 1920s style flapper dress! We adore this take on the Gatsby glamour trend! Proving that 'vintage' need not be old fashioned, we love how she has combined this stunning embellished dress with a slick of shocking red lipstick and a pretty chain-mail clutch bag.  

The best looks are often influenced by the past, yet we think it's key to give them a modern edge. If you're a fan of Fearne's fabulous flapper look then why not don this demure Long Sleeved Flapper Dress and style with a sleek chignon?  Pop on some crystal studded earrings and combine with dark, smokey eye makeup for added drama and finesse.

Gatsby Glamour

The ultra-glamorous roaring twenties trend is having a revival and seeing its way onto the red carpet. After all, nothing screams glamour quite like the Great Gatsby! From striking, art deco designs to overstated bejewelled ball gowns this glitzy trend is certainly a firm fashion favourite.

Channel this lavish look and invest in a fabulous flapper or striking embellished dress such as our Silver Gatsby Dress or our 1930s Beaded Maxi Dress. When our day to day life can seem so dressed down, it 's refreshing to really doll up for a special occasion and go to town with sparkles, sequins and glitter! Elegant yet extravagant this trend will certainly get you noticed. 

Road-Tested Summer Styles!

Our glamorous bloggers have road-tested our retro favourites to help you get Summer style sussed! From pop art prints  to elegant evening dresses these girls certainly know how to put an awesome outfit together. We're loving how an art deco accessory or simple pop of jewellery can totally change the tone of an dress.  Goldy Loxx has gone in for  full-on pinup girl perfection in her parrot prom dress, straw hat and statement flower headpiece, whilst Abby from Abbyeautiful blog has gone for a more modern approach and styled with lusciously large locks and a slick of lippy. Emma from Fashion Mummy blog shows us how to pair pastels without going overboard whilst blogger Laura from Five Little Doves dons this playful printed dress for a family day trip out.

Get Personal! Individual Wedding Day Style...

Wedding season is now amongst us and we are simply astounded by all the cute and creative ways in which people celebrate their special day. Having observed  this we have come to the conclusion that planning a wedding is a perfect occasion to showcase your personal style and the special unique things that tie you together as a couple. Whether it's a centre piece that reaches skyscraper proportions for a extravagant pair or painted jam jars for an  artistic duo, the important thing is to enjoy the next stage your new life together.

When it comes to decor we are totally in love with these quirky fun pieces that don't take themselves too seriously but still exude elegance and class! The handmade feather garland has a hippy vibe which would appeal to almost any bohemian bride and the glitter balloons add some playful decadence to the occasion without looking over-formal. And who wouldn't love these glitter-covered donuts?

Another tip to make your day totally unique and special (as well as more affordable...just saying) is to make some of the decorations or items yourselves. Not only will no one else have them, you will appreciate the affect all the more after you've spent a whole day making multitudes of bunting! 

Feature: Nude Beaded Maxi Dress, Triple Strand Pearl Necklace, Gold Gatsby Hair Comb

The white wedding dress is not for everyone. In this day and age sometimes it's nice to break tradition and go for something that feels more you! For those of you who love the 1920s this Nude Beaded Maxi Dress would make the ideal showstopper.  With its layers upon layers of pretty tulle, figure hugging bodice and intricate embellishment you'll certainly be dressed beautifully for the occasion. For your hair you could always go for something like our Gold Gatsby Hair Comb with its iridescent pearl detailing and shimmering diamante. Just pop it behind your chignon for a elegant touch! 

Full On Flapper Vs A Glint of Gatsby

We just can't get enough of flapper fashion so thought we'd share with you some cool styling tips and ideas to really get into the swing of things when it comes to 1920s style! It's always fun to really go all out and mimic the authentic art deco look but you can create the same glamour and elegance by simply popping on a tassel necklace or coveting geometric shaped accessories.  

Its fun to experiment and push the boundaries with your look but here we have simply pepped up a low key, stylish evening outfit with some glamorous accessories. The trick here is to choose one dramatic statement piece like the chevron clutch and choose items that compliment it. You can create a 20s look without going over the top and it looks great to mix  some Gatsby glamour with a modern contemporary outfit.

Here we have toyed with the idea of mixing old and new by recreating a flapper girl look with this stunning pink and white dress but have selected on trend colours and silhouettes. The bright fuchsia and orange hue bring this dress up to date, along with its figure hugging fit but the textures, crystals and embellishments reflect the Hollywood glamour of the 1920s.

Uh oh...here comes trouble! Get Peaky Blinder style...

We're super proud of our Birmingham heritage and what could be better than the magnificent show Peaky Blinders returning to our screens tonight at 9pm!

The inspiration for the show is fascinating and you can read more about it here. The original Brummie boys, the 'Peakys' were local gangsters from a century ago. These violent criminals would sew razor blades into the peak of their flat caps to use as weapons and had a distinctive sartorial style that set them apart from the rest! The girlfriends were described as wearing ornate pearls, a goudy silk handkerchief covering their throat and showing off a full fringe obscuring the forehead, we can only imagine what they would have looked like in one of our dresses...

We really think that Polly and Grace's dark vs light twenties styles really rock the gothic-luxe trend on the catwalks this season, why not take a look at our gothic 1920s style headbands and chokers for a more sultry flapper vibe?

    

    

We love the way this piece of history has inspired one of the most gripping shows we've ever seen...so excited!

Get in the mood with our flapper dress collection, art deco jewellery and flapper headbands for your next night in with the Peaky boys...

        

Liberation and Fashion - The Danish Girl

The excitement has been building for one of the most stylish films of the year...well we think so anyway! The Danish Girl is a powerful biopic of the transgender artist Lili Elbe, beautifully set in Copenhagen and Paris between 1926 and 1931, a time when fashion was undergoing a radical change – think Coco Chanel – ooh la la! You know we love the 1920s and 30s, all those flapper dresses and floral frocks!

A mesmerising story of liberation, not only for the movie’s main character, but for the progression of fashion throughout the film. Every outfit is put together with intricate attention and detail, with the hair styled to perfection, complimenting all of the equally opulent interior props and set.

We're already in love with Lili's gorgeous cropped hair! What could be better than dressing up for the movies, perhaps with some of our art deco jewellery, and drinking in this vintage feast for the eyes? The sumptuous hues and romantic sets are so easy to fall in love with.

Oh the florals, the lace, the fringing! We think our style steal picks below capture the delicate craft and tones of the fabulous gowns and decor in the film....
