Incorporate Gatsby Style Into Your Everyday Style



{The Great Gatsby 1974}

{The Great Gatsby 2013}

I know you are seeing and hearing about it every where, but I just couldn't not post a blog about The Great Gatsby! The movie has made it's big debut again with it's new all-star cast. I won't go into who plays who, because I am sure that unless you are living under a rock, you already know all about that. I am just going to give you a few little fashion tips for you to incorporate The Great Gatsby style into your own every day life without looking like you are going to a costume party. 



1) Don't get a tan this summer. Pale with rosy cheeks is the way to go.


2) Wear your pearls. Long strands are preferable, worn doubled up around your neck. Think Coco Chanel.



3) Add a little fringe to your life. Perfect and a little different alternative to the typical cocktail dress!

4) Wear your hair in a bob and curl it under just a tad. If you have long hair, use bobbi pins in order to pin it up underneath to create a bob type effect.


5) Wear a wide brim hat as you walk down the street. You will not only have Gatsby style, but you will also be protecting your delicate facial skin from the sun's harmful rays. I adore this one by Maison Michel.


6) Wear a sheer feminine style blouse with your cropped jeans like this one that I  found on Etsy.



7) Wear art deco jewelry. 


8) Carry an interesting art deco bag like this vintage Valentino that I found at Ruby Lane.

9) Wear a headdress. This can seem a little out of the box for you, but a very pretty look if you are daring enough. Wear just a simple tank and a faded pair of jeans when you wear a headdress to avoid looking "overdone."
The most important thing to remember is that you should not wear any more than two of these looks at a time. You will look like you are going to a Gatsby costume party if you do. 
Oh, and have any of you seen the movie yet? If so, please feel free to leave a comment. I'd love to know your thoughts!

Fashion Is For Models. STYLE Is For Real Women.

The fashion world has always favored skinny models to show off the latest trends. But it's the real women who actually buy them. Why does this make sense? Well I guess when it comes right down to the brutal truth, people buy things that look good. And lets face it, clothes look better when they are smaller. It's kind of like when I go into a store to try on shoes and the one on display that I am attracted to is a size 6 or 7 and then the sales clerk brings out my size (9 or 9/2) and I'm like "That's not the same shoe, is it? The one on display looks different!" The clerk tells me that it is in fact the same shoe. Suddenly, I don't want to try it on anymore. So, I just want to tell all you ladies out there who are not a size 4 in a dress that I get it. But we can't let it bother us.  Fashion is everywhere and marketing is everywhere and the majority of it is big beautiful pictures of skinny people. Keep in mind, models in magazines have the b...

FALL for Flowers!

{Leifsdottir Alegrias tiered floral skirt} Totally unpredictable and completely cool. Flowers for fall are exactly what you need to take your "I miss summertime" blues away. There are no rules in fashion. It's just about achieving a look that is your best and that you feel good in. Who says plaid is the only print you can wear in the fall? Now, don't get me wrong. Plaid is one of my favorite patterns. So maybe we can mix them together! {See below} Flower patterns are fun and so glamorous during any season. Just make your floral skirts a little more fall like by wearing a pair of colorful tights! Can you say FLOWER POWER?! And we are going to need some major FLOWER POWER especially when the temperature begins to drastically drop. {Christopher Kane ~ garden leather mini skirt} {Carolina Herrera}

The Necessary Black T-Shirt

I have to admit, I have not been getting dressed up much these days. I think it has something to do with just wanted to be comfortable. I have been sewing a ton of masks at The Maine Square   and it just feels better to not be confined in my clothing as I am cutting fabric and sewing. However, I do have to go out of the studio occasionally. Mostly it's to the mailbox, but sometimes it's to get more supplies and of course food. I don't mean to sound pretentious or anything, but I do think about how I look even when going out to do these quick errands. It makes me feel good to look half decent! Lately I have been opting for a simple black tee shirt and a pair of semi faded jeans. All I need to do it pop on a camel colored blazer and some ballet flats and I am good to go! Oh yeah, and I ALWAYS wear a mask when entering a public facility these days. I think it's just common courtesy with all that is going on with the corona virus.  Here are some of my all-time favori...
