Labor Day is my all time favorite holiday. Since 1894, the nation has been celebrating the achievements of American workers by not working for three days. And – drum roll please – it’s the gateway to fall fashion. What better place to get caught up on celebrity gossip and peek around the corner at fall trends than at one of the locations that inspired designers this year? The country house of course!
Remember the fox hunt in Mary Poppins and Mary wins because the fox is in her jacket? I’m not sure if PETA would approve of that hunt, but they’d be in favor of the jacket, traditionally called a pink. Wear it with everything and be supercala-fragilisticexpialidocious this fall!
Active day ahead with dressage at 9 and polo at 2. Oh, the stable door is sticking again- you must remember to oil it. Or you could just have a chipped manicure you’d like to hide. A pair of leather gloves keeps your schedule intact and your manicure (and secrets) safe.
Prune the boxwoods, check the irrigation system, deadhead the rose garden…Maybe you’re just walking a dog on a drizzly morning instead of mucking about in a garden. A pair of wellies will keep you high and dry, and a fun color will keep you smiling.
