Art Deco lover girl

My goodness, I really can not describe how I really feel about art deco! The clothing, art and especially the decor. My boyfriend and I are trying to emulate the art deco style into our lounge room and we want it to be a really grown up space. On our list of things to get are an Art deco Bar, side table, sputnik style lamp, pendant shade and lots of art deco nik-naks. We are planning a trip to South Africa very soon so these plans are for the end of the year, I think we will be well prepared!

Here are some things that made me go goo-goo-ga-ga! (Click on the photos to go through to the shop)

Okay, this isn’t for the lounge….BUT I need something to wear in there don’t I?

This is a novelty Art Deco style wallpaper. Really sweet, but not what I would use.

This wallpaper is amazing…

This fantastic globe on an art deco stand.

I want this!!! Oh my…so elegant.

I discovered this slick pendant shade last week and thought how stunning it would look in our lounge room. Notice how the shade has a similar style to this 1927 film metropolis?

I will be back tomorrow….I’m not sure what for, but I’ll be back!

Hello Thursday! I’m so excited about the weekend, there is a public holiday on Monday and I’ve taken tomorrow off as its Kurts birthday. We are going into town for the day and I’m so excited!

I’ve been doing a lot of online clothes shopping this week, only browsing of course! I’ve got an absolute pile of new dog tooth and tartan fabrics that im going to make into garments using a few vintage patterns I’ve acquired lately. Here are some of the prettiest things out at the moment!

So preeeeeeety!

Queen Amidala/1940s inspiration

I happened to stumble across something very intersting whilst researching 1940s clothing/movie costumes. It is a front cover of a 1940s paper doll book (see below), if you are an avid star wars fan you will instantly see the similarities with the costume on the furthest right and with the ‘red invasion costume’ worn by Queen Amidala in episode one of Star Wars! Even if you arent a fan, I’m sure you could see the similarities also! Unfortunately after researching Queen Amidala’s costumes I found that someone else had also spotted this similarity. Alas I am not disheartened that I didnt stumble across this great find first but just appreciative that my memory of movies and costume is alive and kicking! I thought since Queen Amidala’s costumes are so amazing I would share my favorites with you!
