Pemberley Shoes

The American Duchess has a new shoe and I LOVE them. I'd totally wear them for modern... Unfortunately, I don't do Regency and practically everyone in my life has this funny belief that I don't need anymore shoes, so no way can I convince my mother that I should get these...

Fortunately, Lauren, of the American Duchess, is doing a giveaway. So I'm posting about these fantastic shoes in hopes of winning them :)

About the Prize:
The "Pemberley" Regency shoes are closely based on extant footwear from the 1790s through 1810. The smooth, dyable, hand-sewn leather upper is designed to be lovely enough formal occasions, and durable enough for walking in the countryside. Particular attention was paid to the point of the toe, as well as the other hallmarks of Regency historical footwear, with the main goals being both historical accuracy and all-day comfort.

Pretty 18th Century Shoes

So this blog I read, the American Duchess, also has a small shop. And gets these FANTASTIC shoes. So, reenactors, check it out!

The Devonshires are a leather 18th century shoe based on museum examples from the 1760s through 1780s. They're made of top-grade dyable leather, with a beautiful, smooth Italian leather sole for dancing, and are hard-wearing, water- and mud-proof, for even the toughest of outdoor re-enactments.

Pre-Order the Devonshires through August 10, and get the special $100 price. We're only making 200 of these shoes, so don't miss the chance to own one of only a couple hundred pair on the planet! Visit www.american-duchess.com to order.

Aaaand keep your eyes peeled. I got the splint taken out of my mouth yesterday and there'll be a 4 weeks out from surgery post coming soon. It'll involve chewing (yay!!!!!!).
