No problem.

I started my mom a pandora bracelet back in 08 and she really loves it. It comes in handy when there's a holiday or birthday that I can't find something else to get her and I try to make sure thateach one is special, she has her Disney charms and her mommy charms and her ovarian cancer teal charms and so on.

12/23/2012 4:47:42 PM

they make me gag

Love the dress...I'm a huge fan of green

12/23/2012 6:27:31 PM

That looks like Rent the Runway, right? Recognize that bracelet.

12/23/2012 9:39:38 PM

That would make sense...considering the dress needs to be hemmed

12/23/2012 10:05:03 PM

Me and that chick have matching scars

12/23/2012 10:06:12 PM

You look stunning. Fantastic. Who makes that dress?

12/24/2012 1:00:54 AM

I love that green too! I want to find this dress.

12/24/2012 2:24:25 AM

12/24/2012 2:43:34 PM

yay! i can't ever just tie a bow like that it always falls off this is attached to a headband haha

12/24/2012 2:52:35 PM

i need to break out a bow too...

12/24/2012 2:57:11 PM

Ooh. I think I'll wear my red bow tomorrow. Mine is also on a head band.

12/24/2012 4:26:26 PM

haha mine tends to stay if I wear my hair curly....I have to tie it really really tight though.

Today I put a bobby pin on each side behind my ear just to ensure it stays

12/24/2012 9:17:12 PM

Ooooooh nice!

12/24/2012 9:18:25 PM

You goin' riding in those?

12/24/2012 9:28:55 PM

Nope. These boots are made for walkin'

I also may sleep in them

12/24/2012 10:11:21 PM

Them boots are made for breakin' broncs, ma'am.

12/24/2012 10:49:07 PM

While I know frye makes riding boots, I'm 99.5% positive this style is not one of their riding boots.

12/24/2012 11:14:46 PM

Most riding boots have a more pointed toe.

12/24/2012 11:16:40 PM

no they don't

12/24/2012 11:24:55 PM

Wait so diva is an expert in horseback riding.

12/24/2012 11:28:28 PM

are you?

12/24/2012 11:33:50 PM

...Frye does not make actual riding boots. They're riding inspired.

Ariat, On Course, Devon-Aire, Dublin, Mountain Horse, Ovation, Tredstep, Grand Prix all make english riding boots.

And pointed toes does not make a riding boot, unless you're talking cowboy boots, which I have no experience with. Lack of all that extra detail (no stupid buckles or anything to mar your saddle - aka, no inside zipper), a definite heel (no foot slipping out of/through the stirrup), and a tight freakin' fit if it's a tall boot (you need boot pulls to get them on) make a riding boot.

Expert.... No ...

But I have ridden a good bit

12/24/2012 11:36:41 PM

Well, my riding boots have a more pointed toe.

Mine have all that except a tight fit. I have to wear 2 pairs of socks. And the added detail of a slightly more pointed toe than the ones lk posted.

Learning a lot this week between boots and jewelry

12/24/2012 11:49:40 PM

damn...thank you smcain

how is it so hard to believe that I know riding fashion (even if I don't ride)??? Too many styles are based off it for me not to know

12/24/2012 11:51:23 PM

I was told good riding boots have a slightly pointed toe to help with getting in the stirrups when I had to buy boots, so I always thought that was how they were made. I got what little training I have from a man that trained quarterhorses for shows and celebrations, though, not a serious rider.

12/24/2012 11:56:11 PM

Yes, they are thinner in the foot than say workboots or Timberlands. But they're not necessarily pointed. Like, they're not as pointed as almond toes. I don't have a pair of my tall boots here in the house with me, otherwise I'd put them up to other shoes in the house (like some of my fashion boots)

Oh, and good tall boots will hit (after they are broken in/fall) right under the bend of your knee when you're sitting. And all proper riding boots have spur rests.

12/25/2012 12:06:29 AM

Mine are not tall enough either. I am ashamed... I have also not ridden in 2 years, though.

12/25/2012 12:08:10 AM

were you doing english style elise?

12/25/2012 12:10:10 AM

That sounds right. I went to shelbyville to learn how to take care of the bosses horses not ride them, but I got a bit of training so I could help the girl that was riding them. The main thing I remember from the whole ordeal was having to lift up a newborn horse and pull it away from its mother because she kept stumbling and falling. That was gross. I had to throw away my clothes.

12/25/2012 12:16:05 AM

I'm sure your boots were fine for the level of riding you did...smcain is talking competition level perfection

(I also know about this stuff because the girl across the hall in college was on the ncsu club riding team...whatever its called)

12/25/2012 12:18:46 AM

I still have those suckers somewhere.

12/25/2012 12:20:17 AM

^^ Yup, Diva's right. If you're showing regularly is the only concern with having it hit on you properly. Just that your normal fashion riding boots are nowhere near that tall

Not a big deal in some circles or at some shows.

12/25/2012 2:43:42 AM

I got two new coach bags and a Moroccan oil hair gift pack for Christmas! So spoiled!

12/25/2012 2:04:52 PM

a nice picture of a real riding boot to settle the discussion on riding vs fashion boots.

12/26/2012 3:16:17 AM

I just made out like a bandit at the coach outlet. My mom and aunts bought me bday presents early

Pics later

12/27/2012 1:39:21 PM

12/27/2012 1:43:21 PM

Great, you can bring your new Coach purse to dinner Friday night.

12/27/2012 1:44:28 PM

These finally got cheap enough for me to spend money on:

12/27/2012 1:49:56 PM

Kurtis you can totally take me out to dinner Friday if...... you make the track down here to Florida
