From couture to candles, deco is all the rage! Originally a reaction against the swirls and tendrils of Art Nouveau, Art Deco has become dear to designers for its elegant lines and and captivating geometric patterns.

One of the vintage dresses I picked up this weekend looks very much like that Temperley one - I love this trend, art deco in general is just wonderful.
That Minaudiére clutch is gorgeous!

i like the first four best, so elegant in silver! but i'm a big fan of the Chrysler building.
I'm quite liking this look! Espec. on the mugs and accessories. not sure about the deco eyebrows though.
I'm sure I've seen and questioned them before somewhere!
I like the last shoe, the pattern and the shape are quite interesting.
I love the Proenza Schouler dress! It is so pretty.
Thanks, Couture Carrie. I had fun on Halloween in that costume (profile pic) so I had to make it a profile photo. :) Thanks for commenting on my latest outfit and heels (and tassled bag!)
I love Art deco, especially with clothing and shoes. :)
I love all the dresses!
Those bags are fantastic!

I love Art Deco. Every time I think art deco, my mind jumps to the Chrysler building in NYC all lit up at night and I wish for Jay McCarroll's Chrysler building-inspired dress from season 1 of Project Runway.

Before your post I would have said 'heck no to Deco', you changed my mind---your good like that.;-)
Oh, I love this post CC! As a graphic designer, I'm always immediately attracted to bold lines and shapes and that is also the case when it comes to fashion.
The 3rd and 4th dresses from the runway are stunning!
All these Art Deco inspired jewelry pieces and embellishments look very DIY-able! I think I'll save these pics for future projects!
Also, I remember seeing Michelle Obama in that j. crew italian deco tank to an interview with Jay Leno recently. I love that she orders her own clothes from affordable stores.
Have a great day tomorrow dear :)
great patterns!
I like! That blue scarf is especially gorgeous!
Bueno , todos tus post son increibles, de éste me quedo con el bolso de Tory Burch.
