Many thanks to my very well-read friend Melanie for requesting this board! I couldn’t have asked for a better source of inspiration. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is one of my favorite books out there and the new movie preview (seriously can’t wait to see this) was chock full of eye candy. I got the colors for this board from the firework scene:
If you haven’t read the book yet I highly recommend it. Amazon.com couldn’t have put it any better: This exemplary novel of the Jazz Age has been acclaimed by generations of readers. The story of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan, of lavish parties on Long Island at a time when The New York Times noted “gin was the national drink and sex the national obsession,” it is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s.
