My roommate and I threw a Great Gatsby-themed bash for my birthday this year. The Great Gatsby is one of my favorite novels, and I adore the '20s in general, especially for the fabulous fashion. From Midnight in Paris to the Artist to Boardwalk Empire to Baz Luhrmann's forthcoming cinematic adaptation of the novel, there's no shortage of sartorial inspiration out there!
The soiree was a smashing success, complete with retro cocktails, the 1974 film to set the mood, Gershwin tunes galore, a fun photobooth and plenty of shimmying.
Even Igby dressed up for the occasion. Doesn't he look dapper?

Just gorgeous Katy! I love this look and I love the 20's as well. Baz is the guy to make the movie - with his artistic flair and romantic style, I'm sure he'll do a great job! Can't want to see it!

It makes me so happy when your pup enters the photos, too. :) Looking great, both of you!
I love your outfit. That is a great theme for your b-day. I just read that book for my classics book club and I started watching the movie (70's one with Robert Redford) last night. I liked the book.

A turban and sequins <3. I love the 20s too, and may just steal your party theme in the near future.
Love your outfit, the book, the party theme and that is the cutest dog in a bow tie I've ever seen. Happy birthday!
