So I fell in love with this movie, more for the fun artist references and the 1920s era than anything else. Oh and Marion Cotillard is absolutely gorgeous and charming. While I was studying abroad in Barcelona, I was able to take a few art courses and I learned a great deal about Stein, Picasso, Dalí, and the Parisian influence that many of the most famous Spanish artists felt during this time. Paris was this full, vibrant mecca of culture and explosive imagination. I can absolutely relate to Owen Wilson's nostalgic, old spirited character who feels like he belongs in the 20s. It does seem like a very exciting time.



But anyway, the fashion! Who doesn't love the roaring 20s? I used to hate drop waist pieces because I thought they shortened my legs or made me look ill-proportioned, but lately I have a newfound appreciation. I love how they're swingy and loose, but still very feminine.


What do you think about the 1920s? Love it? Hate it?

PS. Check out the 20s themed party I went to this past summer!

That was such a fantastic movie! It's one of the best movies I've seen in ages. And I love '20s style, but I don't think I can pull it off.

I have wanted to see this movie for so long now :)
and to answer your question, they are dotted tights from Gap, and the black thigh-highs from H&M

I have been wanting to have a roaring 20s themed party! I love the hair styles and red lips of the time. I am also a huge fan of Marion Cotilliard..she is so gorgeous. I loved when she was the face of Chanel. I will have to go see this movie for sure.
