say hello to Champ

    Skirt: Jcrew / Top: Jcrew / Watch & Bracelet: Michael Kors

Everyone, meet my boy Champ, a gorgeous chestnut Thoroughbred. I love taking photos with him - although he definitely steals the show from whoever else is in the picture (in this case me!) with his handsome looks and charming personality. The majority of the time when Champ and I are together I'm not dressed up - I mean he does live in a barn! However it's was fun to throw on this cute and comfortable Jcrew skirt and top and snap a few photos with him in my backyard.

Does anyone else horseback ride/have photos with their horse - please share!

farm days

This past weekend I was home relaxing and spending Mother's Day with my wonderful Mom.  As much as I love the city, having a country escape is super important to me. Is it hard to believe that my house/farm is only 45 minutes outside of Manhattan?! I'm lucky that my escape is free, involves hanging out with some amazing animals, and of course spending time with my family.

Pants: Zara / Top: JCrew / Scarf: Zara (another great piece here) / Shoes: Jessica Simpson (old) / Sunglasses: Rayban / Watch & Bracelet: Micheal Kors

The animals that you're seeing in these pictures are alpacas (no, not llamas!). A few years ago my family decided to turn our horse farm into an alpaca farm. The animals are raised for their fleece which is super soft, hypo-allergenic, and luxurious. It's hard to tell in these pictures since they just got their annual haircut! I love any excuse to snap some pictures with these awesome animals, and this weekend was no exception. And of course, an animal photo shoot isn't complete without a pic with my adorable pup, Zoe.

Hope everyone had a great weekend and a happy Mother's Day!
