Equestrian style has always found its way into fashion particularly each fall season. There is something so American about the look—driven by the genius of Ralph Lauren; and so French—driven by the history of saddle-maker Hermès; and of course, so English—as Great Britain and its horse culture are inseparable. But as we look to fall fashion and to fill our closets with something chic and sporty, current looks can be a tad pricey. This is why going straight to horse's mouth makes the most sense for Equestrian fashion. New England-based Dover Saddlery is dedicated to providing a broad selection of the best tack available, and great apparel, too. You can't beat these prices for the Sterling Show Coat [$277], On Course Schooler Riding Tight [$37], Aigle Jumping Boot [$190], Joules Cowdray Striped Shirt [$85], Horseweave Newmarket Tote [$33], and my all time favorite Ovation Crochet Riding Glove [$14]. Giddy-up!

HERMÈS | A SCARF | A LOVE
Selles a Housse Hermès Silk Twill Scarf
I've been a fan of Hermès ever since I received my first hand-rolled silk twill scarf... Selles A Housse from my nanny-family in Connecticut. My employer and [still] great friend Vicky and her two fabulous children and I celebrated the end of our first summer together—and my departure for art school in London—at Le Chateux in South Salem | NY. During that delicious dinner in 1977, I was given my first handsome orange box, and that was the beginning of a long love affair. There was something so powerful about wearing [at the fair age of nineteen] that sophisticated equestrian-patterned scarf with my suede jacket and jeans. It made me feel European, lady-like and buttoned-up. Years and quite a few scarves later, I still admire the sophistication and artistic perfection of Hermès.
Balcons du Guadalquivir bracelet in enamel [from $445 - $640]
This season, the Balcons du Guadalquivir bangle captures my attention in Red. And, I just love the castanet-playing illustrations of the bracelet featured in travel the world of Hermès. [check out this fun, informative part of the Hermès website—it's one the most creative displays online.]
