A couple years ago I received a collection of wonderful and
simple Christmas gifts from a friend of mine. She had the brilliant idea of
putting together a few of her
favorite things to gift her friends, and she selected each to match the style
of the girl she was giving it to. And thus one of her favorite things became
one of my favorite things and I’ve been paying it forward ever since.
I love, love, love Envirosax!! They fold up super compact so
I can fit them in everything but a clutch and it keeps me from bringing home so
many shopping bags - whether I’m stopping at the grocery for a few items, or hitting up Georgetown for some chic
shopping. There are lots of unique items on the website, www.envirosax.com, so I recommend giving it
a look.

If you live in the PWC, you're probably sick of rain. From the flash floods to the consecutive days of drawn-out mugginess, we're all wearing thin. But with the rain comes the onset of fall and I, like so many of you, enjoy daydreaming up fall wardrobes.
When I think of my dream wardrobe, I always revert back to traditional English garb. I adore the buttoned-up prepster vibe that is equal parts foxhunting and elbow grease hob knob old stuffy money. I also adore equestrian style. Leave the popped collar side of preppy at home; I'll take a beaten up waxed jacket and some corduroys any day. I'm a horse girl through and through and I'd love for my style to reflect that. My pocketbook doesn't agree though.
Join me on a tour of England, or even Middleburg for that matter, while I google over a Anglophile fall fashion line up.
The essentials in tow.
In case we tromp through some fields.
I wish I could don a fedora, but my head looks jacked up whenever I try one on. This style works much better.
And I'll also need to cinch up with this leather belt.
And you should always pack an extra layer.
OK, a bit tangential here, but I really need a [faux] fur number for the fall, and maybe even a formal and informal option. One for a nice dinner out, and the other for a nice romp at the weekend home.
On the subject of night's out, let's throw in a pair of sweet leopard booties for good measure. I won't wear both "animals" at once.
And my hounds will match my horses (true story actually…) as both sport Baker blankets.
Tally Ho and Happy Friday, folks!
