This second, we’re groovin’ on all things art deco.
This sleek style was h-o-t during the first half of the 20th century and is having a major resurgence.
It’s part modern, part glamour and gives every outfit a bit of polish.
It’s eclectic but elegant—and easier to wear than you’d imagine!
The sweetheart neckline and unique button detail on this dress make it perfect for summer. And a colorful zig-zag stripe pattern makes it fun for dinners out.
Mixing straight lines and curvy shapes? That’s downright Deco. The bright teal is totally now, while the seams create a sunburst pattern typical of the 1920s. Stash that gloss, girl.
Take your summer wardrobe back in time with a pair of shiny shorts. Their elastic waist is comfy, but their scalloped hem will put some pizzazz into any outfit. Pair with loafers or some lace-up booties to seal the deal.
A dramatic shape and sweeping curves make these earrings glam-glam-glam. Pair with a drapey dress to stay true to the look or mix up your jeans with some unexpected shine.
For a more laidback vibe, try a top with lightweight fit and a cool graphic. The mysterious woman, rainbow stripes and shapes on this one transform old-school flair into everyday chic.

The Academy Awards is the prom of Hollywood, so it’s no surprise all eyes are on the gorgeous gowns and elegant ensembles.
Now, it’s time to take a few style cues from the best and most memorable looks of the night. With a few more wearable (and way less pricey!) finds, you can channel your inner A-lister.
Anna Kendrick’s gown was a pretty pink confection. You’ll look like you stepped straight out of a fairytale, Princess. Rosettes, chiffon and an oh-so-sweet hue…how romantic!
Anna’s costar, Vera Farmiga, opted for a gorge magenta gown. It had loads of ruffles, an eye-popping asymmetrical design and a bit of a train. A shorter version is more real world and less red carpet.
Zoe Saldana’s dress was pretty, purple and utterly unforgettable. Go slightly more casual with a ruffled ombre skirt. Add a sequined tank and peep-toe pumps. Huge jewelry is a must!
J. Lo’s dress was white-hot with tonsa volume. Add a little twist to your usual angelic dress by picking one with ruffled tiers and an asymmetrical bow. Sweet, but still white-hot.
We heart the rich cobalt color Gabourey Sidibe wore last night. In a nod to Gab's drapes and sparkles, choose a frock with a frilly collar. Looking this good will leave you feeling anything but blue!
Diane Kruger made a seriously chic statement in a black and off-white number. It’s super-sophisticated for a dance, so keep your hair down or a in a loose side pony. Sooo pretty.

We heart Alice, and are excited for her (and the Mad Hatter and Red Queen, of course) to return to the big screen. To celebrate, we’re sharing our fave fantastical finds with you girlies.
Bringing the spirit of this famous story to your own style is as easy as a trip down the rabbit hole, without leaving the comfort of your room.
Satisfy your curiosity with this tee, inspired by Alice’s shrinking potion. The sketch-style image and Alice-inspired words will make you feel like you’ve just stepped out of a storybook.
Become a modern-day Alice with a sleek update on her blue dress and be ready for whoever crosses your path. Works well at any parties you attend—very merry unbirthday or not.
You won’t be late again with this vintage-inspired pocket watch necklace. The swirly pattern looks free-spirited as you flit about, yet the clock behind will keep you right on-time for all of your very important dates.
Nothing in Wonderland is quite how it seems. An oversized bow puts a modern spin on Alice's classic black band. Tulle overlay and a pretty polka dot pattern makes it extra girly!
Don’t let that crazy White Rabbit get away again! Keep him right at your fingertips (well, sorta) and add a little shine to your outfit with a cutesy gold bunny ring.
