21st Century Girl



Ever since I read The Great Gatsby, my obsession for the 1920s has grown tremendously. In just a few months (Now set to be May 10th, but that’s the 4th date in 3 different months I’ve heard, so we’ll see) Baz Luhrmann’s much anticipated version will be released! Inspired by his interpretation, I’ve collected a virtual closet Ms. Daisy Buchanan herself would fawn over.

Elie Saab lilac gown for one of Gatsby’s infamous parties.



Zuhair Murad for a dinner out with friends.



And Elie for lunch in the city.


Georges Hobeika for a picnic in Gatsby's gardens.


On the rare occasion she’d go out to the city to run errands on her own, she’d only be seen in gowns like this blush-toned Georges Hobeika number.


A “simple” nightgown.



And last, but not least, a detailed corset the color of her eyes for a very special night in with her man.




(and I couldn’t resist this mourning gown for Jay’s funeral)


If you’re looking to emulate Daisy, remember these things
  •  Blush tones and pastel   
  • Heavy embroidery
  • Shear OR structured fabrics
  • And modest necklines, for the most part, that is ;)


Xoxo
