Roaring 20's

After spending last weekend at my parents for the holidays I can't stop thinking about my love for 1920's fashion.  My sister brought home her Gene Kelly DVD collection and my favorite movie we watched was Singin' in the Rain.  I have been in love with the 20's for a while and wish that if I could have lived in another decade it would have been then.  In college I wrote my huge final english paper on women's fashion in the 20's. While watching the movie my sister was intrigued by how they got their hair in the fabulous finger waves and curls.  I am sure it took a lot longer than me straightening my hair everyday!  I love the red lips and beautiful dresses. 

A more resent move that had great costumes from the 1920's was Changeling with Angelina Jolie.  She has the perfect lips for the red lipstick!  She wears a beautiful cloche while in the movie. When shopping a few weeks ago I found a couple cloches at White House Black Market.  I am a sucker for hats so of course I had to try them on.  I didn't buy one because I couldn't think of where I would wear it but I am still thinking about them!

Here are my finds:

Here are some celebrity 1920's looks that you could steal make-up or hair ideas from to get the look.   Wearing a cloche, red lips or finger waved hair is a great way to bring back the 20's.  I would recommend just doing one at a time so you don't look in costume!



These could be some great ideas to add to your NYE outfit.  Even if it is just a pop of red lips you will stand out in a crowd!
