Hello Everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful week and having a fun weekend so far! Have any of you watched the movie "The Great Gatsby" yet? I've been wanting to watch the movie but I have no one to watch it with, most of my friends that wanted to watch the movie have already seen it. So I guess I have to wait till it comes out on DVD. But I just love the 1920's and the whole style of that era. Just looking at the pictures from the movie really inspire me.
I really like the whole art deco style of the 1920's and if you look at the jewelry that is around right now you can find that there are a lot of art deco inspired pieces out there.
What is Art Deco? According to the Webster dictionary Art Deco is a popular design style of the 1920s and 1930s characterized especially by bold outlines, geometric and zigzag forms, and the use of new materials.

I had to read the book in high school and watch the 1970s original so when the updated movie came out I definetly saw it. It was okay, but some of it felt animated. Loved the post.
ReplyDeleteThanks Shaie, yeah I read the book and watched the movie in high school as well!
DeleteI am such a fool for anything Art Deco, I swear. There's something about the aesthetic I absolutely love, about how it's so neat and clean and elegant and wildly opulent all at once.
ReplyDeleteThat's one of my favourite books, and I kind of can't wait to see it. I've heard mixed reviews, but whatever, even if it's not awesome I can bet it'll be pretty!
Thanks Sarah and I agree about the art deco style being clean and elegant. I have heard mixed reviews as well but i do agree, it will be really pretty especially with the costumes and everything! hehe :)
Deleteid be pleased to get one of those statement neck piece for our series ... they are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI agree Thulie, that's why I was looking at the art deco jewelry because I figured it would be great for a statement necklace!
Deletemy great granny had lots of art deco jewelry that i used to love playing with
ReplyDeleteOh wow thats so cool, I hope she gave you some of her wonderful jewelry! hehe
DeleteArt deco pieces are a little too chunky for me and dramatic for every day wear I think, but are awesome for fancy events b/c they're such statement pieces!
ReplyDeleteI agree that they make great statement pieces for special occasions but I think some pieces are versatile like the bracelets that might be wearable.
Deletenice jewelry ! love it!
ReplyDeleteMaybe we follow each other?!

Thanks and of coarse! :)
DeleteLove, love, love Art Deco style. I would gladly wear any of the pieces you featured!!! I haven't seen "The Great Gatsby" yet, but I'm dying to go see it. I've read the book and seen previous version of movie. Not sure if this version will be good, but it's worth it just for the fashion!!! :-)
