First up, was all SprinklerBandit's fault. She posted and picture on Instagram and I immediately went "OMG MUST HAVE!!!!" I proceeded to scamper off to Riding Warehouse to purchase all things. Totally worth it. The shirt is the Nobel Outfitter's First Crush Cowl Neck Top (I have since ordered it in black and will get the newer version when it goes on sale) and the gloves are the Roeckl Spot Original Chester gloves in plum (they look much lighter on the website).
I bought a pair of breeches from Black Horse (blaming Amanda for that one) and I will do a full review once I have ridden in them enough to fully decide my feelings. I have also ordered two fly bonnets which I haven't received yet, so I won't spoil that fun. I bought a couple of saddle pads that I haven't received yet (getting the theme yet?). I almost bought a PS of Sweden pad and matching polos, but they wouldn't give me the measurements of the saddle pad and I got grumpy. If anyone has any insight on why they wouldn't give out the measurements please enlighten me. Because Stinker would have looked amazing in this.
And it had matching polos...
Anyway, moving on to more fun stuff that I want to buy...
For Stinker I obviously want more Dark Jewel Design things, but I need to decide what colors I want. I think I want to get one more fly bonnet (yes I do have a problem). If I like the saddle pads that I got, I will pick up a couple more of those. And I really want a new noseband for his bridle from Uisce Saddlery (SB's fault again). I love my PS bridle, but I really dislike the noseband and that lady's work is amazing.
For me I want a show coat (I am not in the Winston budget tho. Damn it Amanda) and I need it to fit my monkey arms. So if anyone has suggestions (that aren't super expensive) for brands with long arms, I would love to hear them. I am also still on the hunt for the perfect pair of breeches for me. There are two more brands/style that I want to try. The ROMFH Champion and RJ Classics Gulf. Although, at the rate I am buying other random stuff it will be awhile before I can justify either of those.
I just got a pair of navy Roeckls (finally!) (which reminds me I never did that follow up post on the stuff I got at Devon, oops!) and love them! Butt anyway tho sometimes we just need to do a little shopping, need to indulge a bit. Seems like you got a lot of nice stuff too!!
ReplyDeleteYes!!! More tack posts so I can add more stuff to my list...
DeleteStress shopping is totally my jam, so my wallet feels your pain. And half of my purchases can be solely blamed on other bloggers ;) can't wait to hear reviews of all the goodies! (especially saddle pads, since I'm a saddle pad whore. Although I'm slowly being converted to a fly bonnet whore....)
ReplyDeletePretty sure with your matching tendencies we can make you a full on bonnet whore!
DeleteOh it's happening. I stopped fighting it. I just need to make more $$$$$$ :-P
DeleteDon't we all...
DeleteI have the Good Rider show coat - it's definitely long in the arms (a bit too long for me). It's super flattering, light weight (wore it in 90+ degree weather), and stretchy/wind proof/water proof/machine washable, etc. I love all of their clothes, honestly, but this jacket especially.
ReplyDeleteI also bought two of the cowl necks a while back and I wear them pretty much everywhere haha. Your post has me wanting to buy the grey, since I have the black and the wine colors already.
DeleteI've actually tried the Goode Rider and it was perfect except the sleeves were a couple inches too short. I was so sad.
DeleteI love the grey! And right now they are under $30 at Riding Warehouse....just saying :)
I want that cowl neck so badly. I hate that shipping to Canada is stupid expensive! I also have the plum gloves (I'm actually on my second pair I love them so much).
ReplyDeleteUgh yes. Shipping ruins all the fun :(
DeleteDAMMIT YOU NEED THAT PURPLE PAD.
ReplyDeleteI have ape arms that I can almost drag on the ground and the FITS mesh coat fits me perfectly.
I'm currently looking for other purple pad options because im grumpy with PS plus it was hella expensive.
DeleteI've been wanting to try the FITS but haven't been able to find one to just try. But maybe I'll take a chance and buy one. It sounds like our arms are quite similar.
I...may have ordered the cowl neck NO shirt too. And literally everyone LOVES it - so many non-horsey people asking where it's from and then getting confused when I say it's from Riding Warehouse/Noble Outfitters. Lol
ReplyDeleteI had a friend ask, "Can I get that shirt even though I don't ride?"
