1920s music

this week's theme:
flapper girls of the roaring 20's

After last week's rockin' and rollin' 50's theme, we thought we'd take a step back a little further in time to one of our favourite vintage subjects - the fabulous flapper girls of the roaring 20's!

First we'll be looking out for updates on this years Great Gatsby movie... something we're hugely excited about! We'll give you some history on the all-important Coco Chanel, who is widely credited as being the driving force behind the androgynous styling of the flappers. We'll look into how you can replicate flapper style in the modern world - with vintage dresses and jewelry as well as current takes on 20's fashion!

And as usual, here's a little Monday music to get you in the mood! Enjoy!

rock n roll 50's

Happy Monday vintage girls and boys! Our blog has been up and running for a couple of weeks now; it is still somewhat of a baby and we are feeling uber-excited about all the things we can share with you.

One thing that we're looking forward to starting is a theme of the week. This could be anything from 20's flapper style, to 40's wartime, to 70's disco, to 80's power dressing. Throughout the week, you will see a large portion of our posts containing various images, articles, features and quotes around our chosen theme.

So onto this week - 50's rock and roll! We're talking Elvis, Chuck Berry, Little Richard (even Cliff Richard was surprisingly credible back then)... jive dancing... jukeboxes... diners... polka dot circle skirts... greasers.... 

To get you into the spirit, we've compiled a little playlist of classic 50's rock and roll singles. We hope you enjoy!
