The Roaring Twenties is an utterly fascinating era in history: shrugging off restricive social norms and the heavy, fussy modes of dress that went with them, they set down the initial footprints of booze, cars, movies, nightclubs, and other forms of popular culture that have stuck with us ever since. The world’s first partygirls were creatures of pomp but practicality, too; still glamorous, still sparkling, but modified to the world’s sudden taste for speed and movement. Note how the dresses of the time were designed around all-night dancing – the hemlines raised for the legs to charleston unimpeded, the fringe to really show off the movement, corsets dispensed with altogether. It’s a wholly decadent yet utterly charming period to raid for accessories that can easily slip into a modern wardrobe.

This hat combines the best of both worlds: the upturned brim frames the face with go-getter moxie, while the fringe drops add a note of nighttime opulence. Best of all? It’s made of comfy, comfy cotton. ADORABLE. From Oh Mama.

Earth tones are gussied up with a line of regal tassels in this very juicy vintage find – the brand is Josef of Hollywood, although it was made in France, but either way, this looks like a bag that has stories to tell, and is quite ready for some new ones. From The Recycled Soul.

Certain factions of the internet have been screaming for the return of the turban. I’ll happily add my voice, because it takes a certain kind of woman to wear them, and we desperately need that woman to come back and run off these Housewives of Who-Cares County. Back to the item: glass beads do such nice things draped alongside the face, no? From Peacock Gypsy Vintage.

The long wraparound beads of the time still remain a shiny, versatile wardrobe staple for those moments when you need to dress like a grownup. Here, Czech glass pearls are made to be worn as two or three strands, with a little black dress offered as a serving suggestion and they’d also look fab peeking from between the lapels of a blazer. From Pillow Talk NYC.

Made from 20,000 glass seed beads and 70 hours of blood, sweat, and tears, this dazzling bit of art nouveau fantasy came in second place at the California State Fair. According to the description, this is not the seller’s usual style, so yay for stepping outside one’s boundaries and bringing a Mucha flight of fancy into real life. Well done. From Sedona Skye.
