Style Spotlight: Stunning Flapper on Governor's Island

This particular model caught my eye. She stood out from the crowd in her perfectly wavy hair and casual glam style. She is stunning from head to toe and incredibly photogenic. It didn't take much for her to pose with props from a local vendor. Each photo was unique and lovely, I had to share in a separate post. I hope you enjoy the last of my Jazz Age content. We will resume regular 60's style sometime soon!

Snapshots & Street Style From the Jazz Age Lawn Party!

Here are some of my favorite stylish photos from this year's Jazz Age Lawn Party! There's no event like it and the fashion is always on point.

I had the pleasure of hanging with these lovely ladies, A Vintage Nerd (in Unique Vintage) and Clara Coquette. Both of them looked stunning!

What I Wore to the Jazz Age Lawn Party 2015

This year, Unique Vintage asked me to represent them at the Jazz Age Lawn Party. I go every year and every year I try to create a 1920's getup. I'm a 50's/60's kind of a girl so I struggle with flapper. Unique Vintage came to the rescue with an array of jazzy dresses. I fell in love with this purple dream.

Day 1:

Day one was full-on flapper glam. I felt like a movie star in this gorgeous dress. While there, I ran into my photag friend Rachel. She looked adorable in lace! She shot some fabulous street style and we snapped a few selfies.

Beauty wise, I tried my hand at a wavy hairdo and a shimmery, smokey eye. I used clips to create a wavy front and teased the back all crazy. My lipstick is a dollar store beauty buy and the perfect shade of berry.

Day 2 

I really wanted a bright, sunny look for day two. I'm not sure how "period accurate" my outfit is, but it sure was fun. I went nautical and pastel with a sailor dress and a jaunty pink hat. It's very 20's meets 50's in the best possible way!

I used some adorable Disney brushes to create a light smokey eye. I'm not used to the lack of cat-eye, but it was a nice change for the day. I used MAC's Heroine shade to create the perfect heart shape lip. I was even featured on PopSugar!  

Stay tuned for two more Jazz Age posts filled with my own style snapshots!

What I Wore to the Jazz Age-Lawn Party 2014

This was my third year attending the Jazz-Age Lawn Party. Each year, I get better at my "1920's look." Since I live in a 60's world, I often struggle with Gatsby sensibilities. The first year, I went dress shopping and settled on a floral number that I deemed "semi-1920's." Let's be real, it was totally 1950's. I  tried my best to accessorize though! 

The second year, I took my mom! Her look was probably more accurate than mine. I was headed in the right direction and fairly proud of myself for a daytime drop-waist dress, but on the way there, we got comments on our "different eras." La-dee-da.

This year, I went for a nighttime look that I'm super into. I found the perfect drop-waist nightie at Goodwill and this fantastic hat at Beacon's Closet for a mere $8! Add in glamorous accessories and a cupid's bow lip, I was good to go.

This year, I attended with Miss Julie Mollo who looked equally glam in her turban and signature red lip. I also spent time with Rachel, photographer extraordinaire, as she shot street style around the event. It seems more crowded every year, but the crowd watching alone is worth the trip. Stay tuned for more photos from the event!
