There's something so intriguing about the roaring 20s - the speakeasies, Oxford shoes, feathers, diamonds - it just seemed like a secret lavish world that I'd want to be a part of. And who knows, maybe I would have been. After all, I did learn that an LA speakeasy operated as the fake business "Morrissey's Hair Salon". Maybe one of my distant relatives had a booming business during the days of prohibition? ;)
Anyway, with my love for flappers and desire to see Boardwalk Empire, I decided to feature the photos from September 2010 that Vanity Fair took of the show's women. Loving these pictures!
Have you seen the show? What are your thoughts? And what about the fashion of the time? Would it have been your style?

Those are great pictures! I haven't seen it either, but really want to. My sister loves it.
ReplyDeleteI love the shorts and high heels look. I haven't seen the show but my hubby tried to watch it.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I haven't seen these! They are so awesome!
ReplyDeleteI have no seen the show because like you, I do not have HBO. I really haven't heard of it either because I mainly stick to my reality trash tv. Sad, but true. I love these pictures though, so cute!
ReplyDeletei'm on the same boat... been wanting to see it but no luck... have a great weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen it yet but I clearly need to check it out!

Never seen the show, but the clothes here are so beautiful that I might just have to check it out!
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen the show and I so want to...I'm in the same dilemma here. :( Sort of. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove this post, and funny it just gave me an idea on what to dress for for Halloween! I know it's a long way till then but just saying. ;)

I LOVE all these pictures! My dad and brother were really into Boardwalk Empire, but I never got around to watching it. I'll definitely have to give it a try though, because I've heard nothing but the best things about it (and I LOVE the fashion from that era!).
ReplyDeleteLove this post, my dear.
I have not seen the show but your pictures have me dying to watch it now.
ReplyDeleteI love the fashion from the time. But honestly who doesn't?

I haven't seen the show either because I don't have HBO but I really want to start watching it once it comes out on dvd.
ReplyDeleteThe show is so great but I have to tell you nothing can top these amazing images. Wow.
ReplyDeleteThe fashion of that time would have absolutely been my style. Geof watches this show and I kind of get what's going on just because I'm usually on my computer when he watches it. I love that it takes place in Atlantic City! The third photo in this post is so pretty :)
ReplyDeleteI have not seen the show but I like the shorts and high heeled look! I really like a lot of these styles I am just not sure if they would like me!!
ReplyDeletegorgeous dresses in that first pic!
