Horsing Around

Those of you who follow me on twitter and instagram know what I was up to yesterday but I thought I should share it with everyone.  I was invited by Lifestyle Mirror magazine along on their shoot with polo player Nacho Figueras in The Hamptons. I got to cover all the behind the scenes action and take my own photos to run after the full story on Lifestyle Mirror runs on July 31st.  

It was an amazing experience and I had a great time with everyone else on the shoot.  I can say without a doubt that Nacho Figueras is not just a pretty face.  He's a very talented athlete, gentleman and family man who could not have been nicer or more cooperative all day.  I can't wait until I share all the photos with you but until then, you can one pic of a horse who I swear was posing for me at Two Trees Farm in Bridgehampton where the polo fields are located.  

It was definitely a great day at the "office." 

Bon Weekend!

In honor of the upcoming Kentucky Derby, I thought it would be fun to put together another equestrian themed post.  Enjoy!

Equestrian Chic: Part Deux

ShelterPop was kind enough to ask me to comment on Equestrian Style for a piece on their site that ran yesterday.  You can learn more ways to incorporate equestrian accessories into your decor.  I also found these new photos since my last Equestrian Chic post.  Enjoy!

NYIGF: Horsing Around

Horses seemed to be a theme at the New York International Gift Fair this year.  I kept seeing them and mostly in the booths that had a vintage feel.  The handsome horse above is from Bliss Studio.
