Flapper Fineries



Dripping in beads, lace and jewels, the flappers of the 20's and 30's shimmied their worries away after such dark times post WWI, and revolutionised the way Women dressed.   Nothing can quite beat their evening style; with cigarette holders, shiny bobs, fringing, bow lips and stockings essential accessories for any night out.  Imagine how much fun it would have been to be a part of this golden era?






This photograph makes you wonder whether this flapper was dressed up for a day of lounging; or was she relaxing after an all nighter?  Either way it's amazing right!

Hawke Happenings

From tommorow there is going to be a treasure trove of new treats being added into the store!  There has been some very unusual techy issues which have prevented me from being able to access the site to update this week, but they have just been resolved yay!  

Behind the scenes the Blog has also had a makeover;  it is going to be fully integrated into the site soon and will tie in with the store's aesthetic. 

In the shop update there is going to be an Oriental vibe to the dresses section with some beautiful Cheongsams and vintage Kimonos added which is exciting!  In the mean time while things are getting ready for your perusal here are a few of the treats which will be available tommorow...
