Gift Guide Part # 7: your friend who wants the world to be a better place and looks good doing it

Are you as behind in your Christmas shopping as I am?  Maybe it’s all that eggnog, but I’ve got miles to go before I sleep. Here are some tips for your friend who wants the world to be a better place and looks good doing it. She always manages to look great whether waiting for her next round, sipping home brew, or volunteering for her favorite non-profit. How does she do that? Here’s how:

Bridge and Burn Earhardt Jacket. Perfect for the brew house or for a soggy course walk. $120.00.

Ruby Assata purse. Ideal for carrying copious supplies like wallet, checkbook, and stud kit. Also squirming Jack Russels (or adorable Cavalier King Charles Spaniels). Email for prices.

Emerson Made dress.  Think Spring.  Think Spring jogs. Also works well to throw on after a clinic when you’re hanging around cooking out. Obviously looks great with wellies which means you can still take the shortcut through the field without screwing up your new leather Oxfords. Note the boots to her right. Brown riding boots. Also on the list! $198.00 (the dress, that is)

Brown belt. It’ll work with the Emerson Made dress (yeah for accessories that make it look like you actually took time to put your outfit together instead of throwing it together in the trailer tack room) as well as with your britches when you’re teaching, at a clinic, or coming down the center line.  $40.80.

Wellies. Duh. These are at the top of my list this year.  Will you send good thoughts?  I’ll let you know what happens. $125.00.

Siberian Tiger Kate Spade mittens (cause you’re horse is a tiger on cross-country) handmade by women in Bosnia. When it’s freezing and you’re trying to lug your saddles back and forth from the barn to the trailer these will keep your fingers from freezing plumb off. Also, when you buy them you’re also supporting Women for Women International, a non-profit that provides women in war-torn countries the resources they need to move from a state of crisis and poverty to stability and self-sufficiency. Stylish and worldly. Just in time for true holiday spirit. $95.00.

Good luck dashing around getting your final presents in order. One more surprise gift guide to come!
