Guest Post: Favorites on Friday

Today's post comes from Shannon, from Project Shannon. I love her for not only her name but her eerily similar tastes in blog fodder.

Hi there friends – it’s Shannon {not that Shannon} from the blog Project Shannon. When

Shannon asked me to guest blog for her, while she’s out playing mom – I was tickled excited! At first I thought maybe she was just trying to find a “stand in” Shannon, but she assured me that’s not true!

Typically I spend Fridays highlighting one of my favorites {product, book, clothing, etc} – and today is no different! Today's Favorites on Friday post is not only a favorite of mine now, but also when I was a teen. When I was younger, like so many teenage girls, I was totally in love with horses. I wanted to grow up, live on a farm, and just ride horses all day. Granted, this was totally impracticable, given that I had not factored in any monetary means to accomplish this care-free lifestyle...but that's beside the point. Alas, my riding lessons stopped when I went off to college, but I still love the look and feel of everything equestrian.

And with fall right round the corner {for real, it will be here before you know it – at

least up here in Massachusetts}, it's a great time to get some equestrian inspiration.

I love how these show such a rich color pallet of greens, orange, and tans. Maybe I should take my own advice, and deck out my office in this look? I think with some imagination, it could really work.

Here's a few decor pieces that will help you create this look in your home .

Ralph Lauren Glen Plaid Bedding, Hook Lady Brass Horse Hook, Pottery Barn Cast Iron Horse Hook, Pottery Barn Rustic Mirror, Urban Archaeology Club House Light, Ralph Lauren Leather Tray, Pottery Barn Burlap Frames, Ralph Lauren Bedford Throw, Ralph Lauren Adriana pillow, Art.com Vintage Hunt Poster, Art.com Polo Saddle print, RL Stanton Vase, Restoration Hardware Waste Basket

Or if you prefer to showcase the equestrian look in your wardrobe, here are a few items for you as well.

Smythe Gray Blazer, RL leather patch dress, Rugby Bridle Belt, RL Plaid Vest, RL Stirrup Wallet, Frye Dorado Boots

I don't know about you, but it brings me back to my teenage years, and my total adoration for all things equestrian. Happy Friday everyone and thanks Shannon for having me today! Good luck with your newest addition!
