Yesterday we introduced readers to Oheka Castle , a striking historical venue on Long Island’s famed “ Gold Coast ,” the area of Gastby-esque mansions along the shore where the fabled stories of great authors liek F Scott Fitzgerald came alive… As a true city-girl, I will admit my only {non-Hamptons} experiences with Long Island have been driving through traffic on 495 {to get to said Hamptons}, and honestly, reading and loving Great Gatsby so much, that I literally have some lines memorized in my head.
So I suppose it’s no coincidence {or just the fact that I love, love, love deco style}, that we came across these lovely little finds via Coco + Kelley today {Cassandra, you rock}. Apparently, Coralie Bickford-Smith , {the talented cover designer who dreamed up a flurry of those Anthro-esque vintage book jackets }, has decided to go glam.
How glam? Tres-chic, mega gilded, gold and bold glam…. Just check out her gorgeous deco-inspired covers for the entire F. Scott Fitzgerald collection . Truly, they rock so hard.
And I have to say I’m now even more excited to dive into Fitzgerald’s books… on the jitney, through the traffic, and on my way out to those Hamptons.
