‘Abbey’ fans can dress the part

 

Fans of Downton Abbey, the PBS series that follows the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family and their staff, can go to Shoppbs.org to buys items inspired by the show’s setting in early 20th-century England.
The Downton Abbey collection includes women’s wool cloche hats, men’s driving caps and ceramic teapots. Among the jewelry offered by the online store is the Countess of Grantham cameo set (above) with a brooch fashioned from vintage dies and Victorian-style post earrings for $54.99.

Harriett HendrenWhile I grew up in small-town Kentucky I’ve always been fascinated with the cosmopolitan world of high fashion. On the other hand, I love a bargain and the thrill of shopping for just the right piece. I have a degree in English from the University of Kentucky, and since 2002 I’ve written a column for the Lexington Herald-Leader about shopping, beauty and fashion. During that time I’ve interviewed everyone from designers to boutique owners about trends and style. And I’m still forever searching for the next big sale.
