And I like large parties. They’re so intimate. At small parties there isn’t any privacy.

F. Scott Fitzgerald The Great Gatsby
Now it it all feels like a dream ♥.  We glimmered into a night that overflowed with live jazz and Gatsby inspired cocktails in tea cups. Everyone played their part perfectly and when it came to finding cupcakes in the corner we knew what to do. My only sadness is that the pictures are not better larger. But as you know the camera does no justice sometimes so you'll just have to go to a Prohibition party yourself and fall in love with the night as men become dapper and women flappers.
Days since then have been spent slowly settling in to a new flat. There's been a lot of change, but soon I hope to be ready to put up a new recipe or two.

Such a beautiful post! Maybe it's better the photos are smaller to keep it all a secret that you have to uncover for yourself! <3

Such a beautiful outfit, am a little in love with your shoes. I'm so desperate to go to a Gatsby themed party but somehow they keep evading me.

Gorgeous, Abby! It looks like such a wonderful time. I love every element but especially your fabulous nails and those stars projected on the dance floor. Wish I could have joined you. <3 xoxo

Thank you Sarah! I would have gladly taken you with us :D. The stars were one of my favourite bits as well and for the nails I got the idea on Pinterest. :)

Thank you so much :D I got the shoes from a little place called Parmar. I know what you mean - I had been dreaming of going to a Gatsby party too. I don't know if you live in London, but they happen quite regularly. Otherwise maybe you can host one :).
