The Edit | Ralph Lauren Home for the Holidays
There’s something about Ralph Lauren Home that feels inherently festive—rich textures, heritage patterns, and that unmistakable mix of comfort and refinement. This season’s pieces are perfect if you’re looking to treat your home to a touch of holiday warmth, but what I love most is how seamlessly they translate beyond December. Think tartan throws that feel just as charming on a snowy January morning, equestrian-inspired accents that sit beautifully in a hunt country heritage home, and deep woods and leathers that anchor a room all year long.
Five Small Luxuries Bringing Me Joy This December
December always feels like a month of contrasts—crisp air and warm fires, long to-do lists and quiet winter evenings, festive plans and stolen moments of stillness. And while I truly love the grandeur of the season, it’s the small luxuries that have been grounding me lately. The simple little things that make everyday life feel softer, cozier, and more comforting.
The Edit | Ralph Lauren Classics for the 2025 Cozy Season
As the air turns crisp and the last of the golden leaves fall, I find myself drawn (as always) to the timeless sophistication of Ralph Lauren. This November, the collection feels especially inviting—rich in heritage prints, luxurious textures, and those quintessential hues that define the season: deep forest greens, warm browns, and hints of holiday red.
The Edit | Hill House Style for the Season — From Equestrian to Festive Tartan
Discover my favorite Hill House pieces for the Autumn/Winter season — from equestrian-inspired classics in rich, warm tones to festive tartan styles perfect for Thanksgiving and holiday gatherings. Elegant, timeless, and made for the Hunt Country lifestyle.
The Edit | Equestrian Elegance: My Favorite Brooks Brothers Picks for Fall 2025
This season, Brooks Brothers’ Fall 2025 collection effortlessly bridges classic refinement with subtle equestrian flair—exactly the kind of style that feels at home in Virginia’s hunt country. I’m drawn to their tailored wool blazers and structured riding coats, pieces that evoke timeless sophistication yet remain undeniably practical for crisp mornings at the barn or leisurely weekends in town. Paired with their perfectly cut trousers or a soft cashmere turtleneck, each look feels polished without losing that sense of ease that defines true country elegance.
OTTB Diaries: Month One
One of my favorite aspects of having a personal blog is the ability to go back to previous posts and read and see photos of previous memories. Having had E.T. for just over a month, I figured now is the perfect time to start an “OTTB [Off-the-track Thoroughbred] Diaries” so I can post about the previous month and be able to reflect on our highs, lows, progress, and all of the fun things in between!
Ringing in 2025
It’s been a while (well, a few months to be honest) since I posted on here. To be honest, towards the end of 2024, I was feeling bored and uninspired and didn’t want that energy to translate over to this blog. However, my November took a quick and very exciting turn and I am beyond excited and grateful to be welcoming my new (and oh! so handsome) horse, Etbauer’s Secret (“E.T.”), into my life!
Heading into Autumn & a Life Update
It has admittedly been far too long since my last post! Life has been a little crazy and overwhelming lately, but mostly for the good reasons — I recently started leasing a horse! It’s been an absolute delight to get back into horseback riding this year, and I’ve rapidly reverted back into being well and truly obsessed with all things horse-related. Since August, I’ve been heavily focused on improving my dressage skills and building a lovely relationship with Rosie, the gorgeous Thoroughbred mare I’m lucky enough to be leasing.
