A fall #footcandyfriday: early 18thc buckle shoes w/ autumnal hues & bright palette. #Bargello or #flame stitch embroidery was popular in 17thc & 18thc Frequently associated w/ accessories —pocketbooks and purses— flame stitch provides a geometric burst of color. @metmuseum

A personal favorite for #FestiveFootcandyFriday: Adding to my virtual closet...Women's plaid Oxford pumps sold at Bergdorf Goodman, c. 1942. Love everything about these from the plaid upper to the chunky heel #wrapthemupilltakethem Via @LACMA

#FootcandyFriday: Returning to #collections is like visiting old friends. I first saw these red silk satin, linen-lined buckle shoes around 2015 @moffattladd. Circa 1780s, they were possibly worn in New Hampshire and made in England. Earlier in the week my @unhhistory #museumstudies students & I visited the house with the Director @ericajmcavoy You can read more about these lovelies in #TreasuresAfoot #shoestoriesfromthegeorgianera @hopkinspress 2018.

#FootcandyFriday: I have always been enamored of these shoes....visually pleasing; balanced design. Delightful buckle #shoes are #embroidered (on linen) with polychrome wools in cross stitch and tent stitch, and feature a short, stout French heel; Great Britain, 1730s-1740s. Maker and wearer unknown. More: http://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O74390/pair-of-shoes-unknown/ @victoriaandalbertmuseum

A late edition of #FootcandyFriday: The Massachusetts Historical Society has some lovely wedding shoes & dancing slippers in their collection & I was fortunate to work with them as guest curator for ‘Fashioning the New England Family’ in 2018-2019. Here, a detail of a fine ivory wool #weddingshoe with faded blue satin #silk rosette & ankle ties, straight- lasted with spring heel, c.1859. #fashioningthenewenglandfamily
