The 20's.

Sunday I mentioned the boyfriend and I started the series Boardwalk Empire. I didn't know much about it, except it has been mentioned as one of the best television series in the past few years. To be brief, it's about prohibition in the 1920's. 

I'm secretly a history fanatic. I love to understand why society is the way it is and how we got to where we are now. I'm the kind of person that if I understand why I can accept or try to empathize most situations. I originally transferred as a history major to my college with hopes of working in the arts/entertainment industry doing costume design for historical production. With the economy the way it is and the fact that my passions lie in many places, I wanted more flexibility so I'm now a communications major! 

The 1920's are hands down the decade I adore the most. I LOVE everything about the style back then. Especially the accessories. We see a lot of inspiration from this time today, headbands, long strands, pearls, newsboy hats, vintage headpieces....must I go on? It's absolutely necessary for a 1920's style post!

    I'm a history fanatic too! I have watched a few episodes of Boardwalk Empire, but I feel like I need to start from the beginning. I love the 20's, too! Have you ever watched Downton Abbey on Masterpiece Classics? It takes place during the 1910's, but it is GREAT. The costumes are so detailed and gorgeous. The whole first season is on Netflix!

    I've been interested in watching that show as well - I might need to start soon! I am such a big fan of the 20's, something about that time just pulls me in! And the fashion was at the top!

    I've never watched the show... and I like the idea of the 20s I just don't like all the short hair-dos. What's so horrible about long pretty hair?? I do like the fringe though. And the dainty cigarette holders even though I hate cigarettes - they should hold the candy cigarettes instead.

    Boardwalk Empire is SUCH a good show! There have been two seasons so far...it's a must rent. I am a history fanatic too and the 1920s was a fantastic era - great post!

    I love the 20s as well! I have been trying to find a good book to read that takes place in the 1920s but haven't heard of anything yet. Have any suggestions!? And the fashion... ahh YES. Love it all. :)

    Love the 20's!! Doesn't Boardwalk make you so envious of that generation?! (well, not the prohibition part...LOL)

    I'm not gonna lie, the 2nd season isn't as good as the first. But it's still good. It's such a great show just on a cinematic level, and they do such a good job of being historically accurate. One thing not so great about the 20's? The not showering everyday and no deodorant thing. ;)
