I did the thing. I knew I would. The temptation was too much.

I’d been waiting for the email to drop into my inbox for me to pre-order the new American Duchess Bernadette’s in Blue/Black.
I already have a pair of Cherry tone Londoners so I was super excited to have a similar shoe in a cool tone. It also seemed like a perfect jumping off point for a project I’ve been thinking about for a while: A complete handmade historybounding inspired wardrobe.
The first part of the project will be starting with the shoes (both pairs) as inspiration, I want to create an Edwardian style outfit with a modern edge.
With that very thin excuse to dive into Pinterest, I’ll be off to draw up some sketches and document the process in the coming months in time for the release of the shoes in December.
