The Great Gatsby







Image and video hosting by TinyPic       Dress: Vintage from my mums wardrobe, Shoes: New Look, Necklace: Forever Dreaming

Something a little different today, I'm sure you have all seen the trailer for The Great Gatsby movie even if you haven't seen the film. I'm a big fan of the era and the pretty dresses so decided to use the movie and decade as my inspiration for today's post!

My mums had this dress in her wardrobe for years and it's the perfect 20's flapper style dress, as soon as you put in on you can't help but move in it to make the tassels sway! I'll be honest I felt a little silly walking down the street in this but I had to show you the dress.

The Great Gatsby book locket is part of the new range for Forever Dreaming, there's also Alice in Wonderland, Pride and Prejudice, Cinderella and The Wizard of Oz book lockets in the range, all hand made!

Hope you enjoy the funny little gif!

    Your hair looks amazing! I sometimes wish I had shorter hair so I could do things like that with it! I love the 20s look, I even had a 20s inspired prom dress!

    You look absolutely stunning! I especially love the necklace it's so cute. I recently got a 'Great Catsby' shirt from truffle Shuffle. It has a cat instead of the face on the book cover, it's awesome :) Great post x
