New Shoes from American Duchess!
I am SOOOOO excited about the new shoes from American Duchess!  Not only are these historically accurate, but they are so damn cute!  Can’t wait to wear them around the office!  I’m getting the brown, but I’m tempted to get a pair of the white and paint them some lovely color!

A request...
Hi folks, I have a request.  If you pin one of the fashions plates I post on pinterest, PLEASE make sure that you carryover the title of the publication and the date.  I keep seeing a lot of my fashion plates without the details, and while they do link back to the source, I don’t think people should have to take the extra step to see what they are looking at.  Dates and sources are...

I’m glad it’s so much cheaper than my 1770s fabric allotment. Yes!  That is the best thing about doing early 19th century after spending a decade in the 18th century!  So much cheaper!  Also, if you aren’t following the Dames a la Mode...

That moment when a blog you have loved since your first day on Tumblr says you are their favorite.  Swoon! And for the record, the love is totally mutual.  If you aren’t following 18thCenturyLove you are missing out bigtime!
