Art Deco Mothers Day
With Mothers Day coming up I’ve decided to treat myself.
I know I don’t really need a reason to treat myself, heck, the sheer fact that it’s nearly the weekend is enough for me to decide to buy myself a present, but this time it’s going to be something different.
It’s not going to be a piece of art deco jewellery. That’s right, I said, it’s not going to be a piece of art deco jewellery. No, I’m going to buy myself a book, and it’s going to be this one. Art Deco: 1910-1939
I’ve decided that I need more eye-candy to browse through when I’m in need of inspiration so my plan is to start a vast and superbly interesting collection of art deco books that sum up the era completley.
After browsing through Amazon, this seems to be the best one to start with. In fact, I can’t believe I don’t have it already, so that’s my little present to myself bought. Is there any other books you can suggest to go into my art deco book collection?
Art Deco Brooch
Think I may be getting this Vintage Art Deco Silver Brooch
for dear old mama this coming mothers day.
How beautiful is it? It’s just darling isn’t it? I figure if I buy it for my mother, then I also get to use the art deco brooch whenever I like as well. Bonus!
I think it will look particularly well on the side of my black felt hat. Or I could buy a chain as well as this art deco brooch for mothers day and then we have the option of wearing it as a pendant. I’ve just looked at my other post about art deco brooches and quite frankly, this little lovely would do well on any of those ideas. Apart from using it as a key chain, it’s just too nice for that.
As Amazon puts it, “designed over 30 years ago, we’ve brought back this art deco inspired brooch to celebrate the revival in vintage couture. Cast in antique silver, this delicate brooch measures 3″ wide and is embedded with clear, light amethyst purple and dark amethyst purple crystals.” On seconds thoughts, I think I’ll just stick to wearing it as an art deco brooch, I’ll pin it to my black mini dress and let the compliments fly!
Art Deco bag
Last weekend I went out and it was only when I was leaving the house that I realized that I do not own an art deco bag. Don’t ask me what really constitutes as an art deco bag, but I’m guessing something with lots of geometric shapes and something that is utterly stylish, and although my bags are pretty smart I quickly found out that they are also pretty boring.
So I’m thinkin
g I need to build up a collection of art deco bags that I can choose from when I’m ready to go out parting. The bags that I do own all seem to be rather dark in color so that I can put them with a variety of outfits, so when I saw this little lovely, I just had to do a post about it. It’s from a brand new site called Endless that works in conjunction with Amazon so you can expect the same excellent level of customer service and value for money. But the thing that I really love about this art deco bag is the detailing at the front.
There is so much more detail if you have a look at the site (just click on the image and it should take you there) but this is the begging description of it: “This gorgeous clutch by Rafe is opulence epitomized. Inside and out, you’ll find exotic, genuine snakeskin with a metallic finish. The flap is bedecked with jewels of varying shapes and sizes that form a geometric pattern. The interior features a vanity mirror, a zippered pocket and several card slots.”
Now how can you say no to that? I couldn’t and am offically starting my collection of art deco bags with it. Oh and did I mention that it’s on sale? At 55%? Oh yes, so get it now and you save $289!
Gifts for men
How hard is this? Amazingly hard!
Buying gifts for men is one common problem that every girl shares. You may want to show them that you appreciate them, be it your brother, father, husband or boyfriend but buying gifts for him isn’t always easy.
The problem with buying gifts for him, that special someone in your life, is that most men are a bit uncommunicative about what they want.
