Well WOW is how I felt when I saw this Patrick Grogan painting of a horse. What a great painting! When I saw my favorite subject matter I was smitten at first sight! If you love it too he has some of his work showing at  Browns Gallery in Fondren! www.brownsfineart.com

Just Cant get enough of this guy! Nothing says fall like a GREAT  pair of custom chaps or boots! Better check it out soon because he has been featured on Martha Stewart. His artistry is beyond fabulous. To see his work and meet him was a honor for me. While at a Horseshow last year my trainer Patti Shoemaker introduced me to him- as a fellow Virginian -with the best leathers anywhere EVER. She was right as Martha named him  a "Tastemaker" and I can see why. He is a genius craftsman and artist who makes every pair the old fashioned way -by hand and heart. Love his work and hope he will be set up at the Coast Show in Gulfport Ms this spring. To check it out go to www.pinnellcustomleather.com. Also visit  www.marthastewart.com/americanmade/tastemaker/83417 to read a great interview. He talks of how relationships and continued learning are part of how one can make their  passion successful. Sounds like the old fashioned way... Love it!

OK---So Im thinking a Trunk Show has something to do with a tack trunk? But OH NO!! It was a J Brand jean trunk show and is a  GREAT one! Oscar the Denim Guru was at Treehouse this AM and could not have been any nicer! Had to circle Fondren twice to get a parking place and now I know why!!! The best  jeans anywhere !! Took two seconds and he had the perfect jean picked out and even one pair I NEVER would have thought Id wear!  A yummy pair of dark green velvet?? Who would have thought?? Ladies he is the guru and the bomb.com! And as good as the jeans are- is his kindness! No worry about those thoughts that I cant wear jeans anymore! J Brand thought of everything -with the many choices.  Just like a great pair of riding breeches are a great pair of jeans to throw on after! Im sold on this guy! What a truly great person! Oscar Adames- The Jean Guru from yep-- again--NYC! ps..he will be there all day. Treehouse Boutique

Nothing cuter than a Daddy Daughter Duo at a horseshow! Jimmie Reynolds and his daughter Chloe enjoyed a day at the horseshow this past weekend. Love this cute show shirt with its zig zag cuffs and collar. What a cutie she is!! She was smiling a lot as she rode with her Winterview team to win lots of ribbons. Congratulations Chloe on all your wins and oh...love that shirt!

Beautiful Madison McCreery of Jackson Ms models a darling vest by Ariat for Bridles & Britches of Folsom La.  A pink vest with horses and horseshoes for the fall paired with a pair of "shock socks"  just spells fun to me! Madison looks stunning as usual when she rides her beautiful new gray warmblood Secret to win blues and she certainly wins one from me with this! She is a class act all the way! ... and oh..did i mention fun?? She gets a blue on all accounts and if you like this vest you can have one too..just call Bridles & Britches at - 985-796-0780  or visit them on Facebook- Bridles & Britches- for all your equestrian needs.

 Dont ever think you cant go into Treehouse Boutique straight from the barn because Jude Muse does not mind one bit! In fact Danielle DeSalvo account executive of Nanette Lepore from New York did not mind either! They were having a Nanette Lapore trunk showing and Audrey Muse helped model a jacket that was so equestrian inspired I thought I was dreaming of a tack shop in NYC!  This Nanette Lapore jacket gets a blue ribbon from me because I absolutely LOVE it!!! AND.. Aquatalia weatherproof boots that look like riding boots! What is not to love ??  Thanks Treehouse for a fun morning!.. and those of you who are in town for a horseshow- visit Treehouse Boutique on North State St. Jackson Ms.
