We were followers of fashion...Now we're setting the trends!

As you all know, here at The Horse Diva we firm followers of fashion, both in and out of the saddle. But this week rather than following the fashions, we're setting them! There I was browsing through my latest copy of Heat magazine when I spotted "Trend of the week...Equestrian!". Finally I can wear my jodphurs to the supermarket without my hat on for disguise!!! Both Dior and Hermes catwalk shows have been inspiring the celebs to don the equestrian trend, with Olivia Palermo and Mischa Barton both sporting the look. But the good news is, the look ha hit the high street, making it affordable and accessible! With this look it may only take a few quirky accessories to transform your equestrian wear you've had in the wardrobe (or worn down the farm) for years. Pick up the latest copy of Heat for a bit of inspiration or check out the following links for a few of my personal faves...

• Large Horse Shoe Necklace
• ANDI Clog Stirrup Ankle Boots
• HASBEENS Jodphur Boots
• Horse Print Tee
• Cream Horse Print Scarf

Happy Shopping!!

Horses in Fashion

Last week I was sitting working away with GMTV on in the background when I suddenly noticed equestrian fashions in front of my eyes! Feeling a little less than inspired by my current wardrobe I decided to have a little search to see how horses influence the fashion world. At the mo the only equestrian wardrobe influences I can see in my house are a range of hoodies, waterproofs and many warm layers of clothing.

So armed with another excuse to hit the high street, over the bank holiday weekend I kept my eyes open for a few little horse themed treats. Here are a few of my favourites...

Black Horse Cross Body Bag- £25.00 from Miss Selfridge (photo from http://www.misselfridge.com/)

Horse Cameo Ring- £7.50 from Topshop (photo taken from http://www.topshop.com/) All Over Pony Ankle Socks- £3.00 from Topshop (photo taken from http://www.topshop.com/)
Vintage Horse Print Dress-£40.00 from New Look (photo taken from http://www.newlook.com/)

There are plenty more on the high street so why not treat yourself to a little equestrian fashion!
