I am a self confessed Magpie, I find myself drawn to jewellery that is set with semi precious stones. There is something satisfying about a chunky weighty glossy gem that makes it's self known compared to delicate shiny confections. I recently came across this Mai Jewellery website and instantly fell in lust with these Silver & Fools Gold Rock Pool Studs with their slightly jagged texture they stand out as unusual and glitter.
For some reason my impression of the jazz era involves lots of glassware whether it be champagne coupe's, mirrored furniture, ballrooms of glass lights. Lighten up your home with this Art Deco Style Glass Mirror and create a dramatic feature in your home.
It was not until the '20's that women in England other than prostitutes and actresses started to wear noticeable makeup. Scandalously they even started to apply it in public (although never at dinner) this was made all the easier by cosmetic companies starting to mass produce products and the invention of the mirrored lipstick case. Guerlain was one of the first companies to sell makeup in the UK. Celebrate with their Rouge G Lipstick in Gilda using the compact mirror to perfect your cuspids bow in public.
Whilst I love my kindle every so often I feel the need to grab an old fashioned classic in hardback. Penguin hardbacks of classics satisfy that need whilst being beautiful enough to display on your shelves. Grab yourself one of F. Scott Fitzgerald's other works in Art Deco bindings to imerse yourself in the roaring twenties, my pick is the Beautiful and the Damned.
