Zelda~ The Perfect "Flapper" Magazine
If your a Modern Day Flapper~ then the Zelda Magazine is just for you! I came across this magazine about a year ago, from just doing some art deco research online. I bought the first issue, and was amazed at the quality of the paper, the pictures, and the articles written inside. I found that this magazine really helps other 1920's era lovers feel that their not alone in preserving the past. This little booklet has everything from, articles on 1920's Jazz, modern finger waving instructions, and pictures of "Flapper" inspired events from LA to the Big Apple. A lot of the articles are written by actual people living a vintage way of life, and are sharing their knowledge with others in the same interest. So needless to say, I have every issue, and can't wait for this spring's/ summer's issue.

A Flapper's Thursday Afternoon~
Just a check post~ from work. Can't wait for spring to finally show up! I'm so in the mood for warmer weather that I thought today I'd wear my vintage black and white striped jumper, with a little red belt. Paired with a bead vintage cardigan, and my 1920's inspired frenchie wool hat, this little outfit screams for spring.
Just a couple of more months~

A Jean Harlow Moment~
Now I have to say, I'm a huge fanatic of Jean Harlow, the Orignial Blonde Bombshell, and how amazingly beautiful she truely was. I've been watching some of her movies like, The Public Enemy, Red Dust, and Dinner at Eight. But my favorite at the moment is Libeled Lady. In this movie, Jean's character is wearing a simple cocktail hat, with net veiling just coming down over her eyes. Which I thought was so sexy, especially on her. So, that hat gave me the idea for the cocktail hat I'm wearing here. With simple black net veiling falling off the top of the hat base, I added little black puff's to the ends of the veiling for a more dramatic "Harlow" look.I'm currently selling this cocktail hat on my etsy shop, and would love for it to have a good home. But check out some of my other hat listings, you might find something you may like.
I like this last picture, reminds me of a publicity shot an old silent movie actress would have taken.

A Flapper in the News Paper~ Oh La La...
A Flapper's New Spring Hat~ circa 1930's Inspired
Just wanted to show everyone one of my new Spring/Summer collection Hats. Check out this hat and others hats I'm selling out of my esty store. I'm heading into a very 1930's spring style shape for my hats this season. I'm using a lot more straw materials, and just trying to keep the hat looking simple, just as it was done back in the day. I'm calling these types of straw hats, The "Dita" Picture Hat. The way the hat looks on really reminds me of her, and how she wears her stunning hats. Maybe one of these days, I'll be super surprised, and be able to see her wearing one of my unique cocktail hats.
