You’ll all be pleased to hear that the Great Gatsby glamour is here to stay! Looking forward to seeing the film for ourselves, we’re also happy to see that the flapper dresses, statement jewellery and glamourous embellishments that shine throughout the swinging Gatsby parties are continuing throughout summer and well into AW13. As you will have probably seen through our Facebook and Twitter accounts, we were invited to the press day for Monsoon and Accessorize today. There, they showcased many of the fashion-forward trends that we are expecting when the cold front hits us once again later this year and we were not disappointed!
From accessories to dresses, we saw some beautiful Gatsby details and we’re sharing you with them right now because we know that the 1920s look is being re-interpreted and celebrated this year. Flap-away vintage Londoners and make sure you sparkle along the way!
Gatsby Glitter Top
We’re a little bit in love with this beautifully embellished top from the Monsoon collection. A subtle nod to the vintage glamour of the Art Deco period, for all of you out there who don’t want to be flappers head-to-toe.

Flapper Girl Dress
Shine like Daisy Buchanan is this gorgeous Gatsby-inspired flapper dress. With an Art Deco hemline, the inclusion of more subtle and gentle floral embellishment really makes this vintage 1920s art deco dress a fashion-forward vintage piece.

How cute is this?!? An incredibly clever move from Monsoon, this 1920s flapper-esque outfit comprises a top and a skirt that would suit any little girl. Utilising a colour like seafoam green, this cute vintage style separates dress will transition perfectly from late summer into winter.
