Ode to the '20s
flapper girls

First thing first, I have to thank everyone who worked on the photo shoot that took place this previous Sunday!  Wow, it was great to see our vision come to life!  All month we obsessed over the 1920's to get this photoshoot just right...and then found that it started influencing our own personal wardrobes as well! And since 20's inspiration is predicted to be a major trend this spring, we decided to keep with the era for this months newsletter!
As for now everyone, you can see the behind the scenes pictures, but keep an eye out on Facebook, our website and (fingers crossed!) local publications to see the finished product!

The Roaring Twenties Reborn
 
We have seen the 1970's inspired trend all throughout 2011 and  ongoing, the 1920's have similar silhouettes and fashions that this decade is on trend for Spring 2012! Whether you want to replicate the hairstyle, make-up, or the different fashion trends of the era you will be one fashionable lady, or man, for Spring 2012.
 
Look for elements from probably the most popular trend from the 1920's, the flapper dress.  Instead of going all out and finding an original flapper dress, instead look for the fringe or bead detailing, dropped waist, or flapper headbands!

Chanel accessorizes the outfit above with strands and strands of pearls which relate to the 1920's.  The notable fashion label creates a total flapper with a dropped waist and fun fringe on the right.
 
Alongside the flapper trend, the sporty trend of tennis-chic is becoming widely popular.  Look at these two trends for the Spring of 2012 as your formal and informal outfits.  Long shorts are epitome of this wardrobe for staying chic yet casual.

When it comes to special events, our customers have come to trust we'll have unique pieces they just can't find in regular retail stores. This quality of combining vintage and modern pieces extends to our house wares collection; our furniture, lighting, and d�cor surprisingly possess a modern appeal which sets us apart from traditional antique venues.

Opening Lady Luxe has been and continues to be an incredible experience. We've met so many interesting people who love fashion and have an appreciation for eras gone by. People ask "where do you get such unique pieces?" to which we reply, "everywhere and anywhere!" We attend estate sales and invite people every Tuesday to sell us their vintage treasures. Selecting unique items is challenging but extremely gratifying when our customers walk in and pick out the perfect outfit or gift for that special someone."
