Downton Abbey Season Three Episode Three Given Whom You Know's Highest Recommendation Our Coverage Sponsored by Paul Mayer Attitudes
Paul Mayer's luxuriously, comfortable designs keep women coming back for multiple -- even dozens -- of pairs. Classic, yet contemporary and always comfortable, his shoes are an addiction that we highly recommend. We believe they would be just stunning on you, Lady Mary! A staple of the Paul Mayer collection is the simple ballet-flat, with true ballerina construction for a perfect fit that comes in a variety of colors and materials. A cult favorite is the cozy, a flat with lavender-scent infused soles adding style and fragrance to collector's closets as Paul's designs emerge in sophisticated design incarnations season after season in the most incredible hues, textures and modern innovations in luxury footwear because we know firsthand how incredibly brilliant he is. Here are two recent hot numbers from the Paul Mayer hit parade:
Mayer founded the brand in 2004 with partner, Jeff Levy. All shoes in the line are manufactured in Spain’s Valencia region, along the Mediterranean coast by a skilled staff of 12 artisans. They craft each pair of shoes with an old-world attention to detail that includes in-house embroidery, quilting and stitching as well as custom tanned leather. This allows the brand to cater to each retailer’s specific demands in with timely and consistent alacrity, with orders completed in an unheard-of 3 to 5 weeks.
In 2011, Paul Mayer stepped out into Manhattan's Upper East Side with a new attitude, opening his flagship store at 1388 Third Avenue. The store which cleverly resembles a pink and black shoebox offers up to 150 shoe styles, including his popular ballerinas, exclusive designs and more. As an added bonus, shoppers have the chance of running into the designer, himself. Paul's sage shopping advice and style eye has made him the New York shoe lover's best kept secret. When not in New York, Paul can be found traveling to his myriad of stores across the country meeting his loyal clientele or vacationing in his favorite spot, the Royal Hawaiian on Waikiki Beach.

Here's Season Three Episode One which you ought to start with:
and then Episode Two:
SPOILER ALERT!
As you know, Peachy Deegan absolutely lives for Downton Abbey. If she didn't have posts to write, people to see and things to do lined up, she would watch all three seasons on repeat sipping a spot of tea and be quite blissfully happy, turning off her phone and computer, because nothing is more important than this series. Now every Sunday night on PBS you can see never-seen-before episodes in America of Season Three, and we suspect during these winter doldrums this is a clearcut highlight for you, too.
Our beloved Dowager Countess sagely says: "No family is ever what it seems from the outside." and boy is she right both in real life and in Downton Abbey (which we would not complain about if it became our real life)...Branson is beyond idiotic.

So what do we love about Episode Three Season Three? Let us count the ways. We love that Lady Edith is compelled to join our unofficial club of ladies that write in newspapers, and we love her enthusiasm, previously displayed by Lady Sybil of course, for the right to vote for women. We love Mrs. Hughes's simple happiness she finds in that new innovation, the toaster. We even burnt our toast on purpose to match her and make our viewing experience more authentic. Daisy has a lovely agricultural experience with her newfound family and every female alive will be thrilled to meet the new footman James-get your Valentines ready.
What distresses us? This is a drama, after all! Anna and Bates are not communicating-sheer heartbreak so yes, you might need not one but two cups of tea to sooth your nerves. Or perhaps just break out the whiskey. What else? Who's going to the doctor for "hay fever?" Who seeks Isobel's help? And most upsetting of all who is running around in the rain in the dark of night!!!
And what to do with all those spoons-egg, tea, melon, soup, jam, bouillion-Peachy has never been a maid or a footman so don't expect her to get it right....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_setting but perhaps you can help the new footman? We bet Thomas would be just delighted to...(sinister music plays). Thomas, Carson would have helped you if you asked for help, silly.
Do Join Downton Abbey is PEACHY
