{style} jazz age lawn party pt 3

I wasn't planning on dressing up this go around, but I came across a comfortable + authentic little ensemble this weekend at my favorite antique store so dolled up again.  This time I even took out the curling iron to do some faux fingerling waves and did some hair tucking.  Not as much Midnight in Paris as Annie, but 20's all the same!  

these women really know how to pack a picnic...

{style} Jazz Age Lawn Party pt 2

When I headed to Jazz Age Lawn Party last year, I had no idea I was going to be one of the only people that wasn't dressed up. Since this is the most amazing annual event in NYC, I made sure to step my game up a little bit this year + made use of a unique 20's mesh bag that I scored at a flea market last year [it's also amazing what a lovely parasol can do].  It was spectacular to head outside the city into another decade + see so many happy people in one place!  Like our very own Midnight in Paris via Governors Island.

dress from High School [almost my own vintage] - The Limited, 1920's hand painted mesh bag - flea market score, pearls - handed down from Great Grandmother, shoes - Nine West

{Vintage Throwback} 1920's Wheels

Realized that I never posted the photos of these vintage beauties from the Jazz Age Lawn Party from a few weeks back and they are way too good not to share.  Can you image this being your every day car?!  One can dream!

{Ladies In the Shade} Jazz Age Lawn Party

I have been itching to get to the Jazz Age Dance Party on Governor's Island ever since The Sartorialist shared his images back in 2009.  I had no idea how many other 20's enthusiasts there were out there!

Here's a sneak peak of some of the beautiful ladies...
