Danielle: 1920s Barrister's Ball

So I mentioned last week that I would be attending a 1920s ball on Saturday night...here are the photos! The event was officially called the "Barrister's Ball"- I went with my boyfriend who attends a law school in California. Who knew that barrister meant lawyer? Haha.

Please excuse the "prom" photos.

Since my dress was a $6 steal at Goodwill, I decided to splurge a little on my hair. I went to the GL Salon in Redlands and I loved the results. It may have taken 3 hours to do, but I'm glad I paid someone else to mess with it so I didn't have to.

Here are some close ups of my accessories.

They had a photo booth so we snapped a few photos in there.

 So the boyfriend and I had a really great time, however, no one else at the ball was dressed to match the theme! There were over 250 people at this event, and I saw maybe ONE other person in a 1920s getup. I was a little disappointed in the rest of those law students, but hey, I love a good theme party even if I am the only one dressed for the occasion.

Danielle: Things I Love Thursday-1920s Fashion

This weekend I will be attending a 1920s Ball and I have desperately been searching for the perfect outfit. These images have been my sources of inspiration this past week.

 And who could forget F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby when we're talking about the 1920s. This book is one of my all time favorites and the images from the 1974 movie are so amazing.

 Let's throw in a little modern-ballet-Gatsby-dance number while we're at it!

So who can teach me how to get that fabulous 20s crimped hair style?

Can't wait to share my photos with you after the ball!
