The Jazz Age Lawn Party

Saturday, August 21, 2010
I don't usually blog about things like this, but I thought this was such a stinkin' neat idea, it deserved to be shared on here :)
The Jazz Age Lawn Party
The Jazz Age Lawn Party is a bi-annual affair in New York. Next week is the next party and I so wish I could attend, but alas. (for times and more info, click here).

"Under a shady grove of centuries-old trees, caressed by fresh sea air, a sprawling green surrounded by historic officers’ quarters and 18th century naval ramparts becomes the setting for a true Gatsby affair."

I am officially in love with this decade :) Wouldn't it be neat if everyone dressed like that?!

@nicole leigh smith: I so wish I could've attended, but New York is on the other side of the country for me, I'm afraid.
