We love the Edwardian era! There is something so enchanting about the aesthetic of the time. Perhaps it is the combination of sweeping hairstyles, flowing skirts, and tiny florals. It is a fun time to study as so many things were changing for women yet much of their clothing remained in the traditional styles that so many of our readers love. I have had a wonderful time exploring various aspects of the Edwardian era during my time as a blogger for Recollections, including a handful of new posts this month. Long before I came on the blog has included pieces on the sliver of time at the beginning of the 20th century. As I know the Edwardian era continues to be a favorite with our readers I thought it would be fun to put together a roundup of the blog posts we have done on the time, some places you can learn more, and a list of our favorite pieces for you to create your very own Edwardian beauty look.
