The 'Happy Belt'

I LOVE these belts! 

They are so versatile it's amazing.  I've worn them with my breeches at a show, with jeans and a t-shirt for a day around town running errands and many other times. This belt's cross-functionality from the street to the stable is great!

It's made of silicone and plastic making it waterproof (sweat resistant!) so it's a breeze to clean if you're had 'one of those days' at the barn. It's heat resistant keeping it's shape nicely even in the hot, humid Florida weather. It's also adjustable to fit anyone! All you do is measure it around your waist then snip off the access with scissors and place that end into the buckle and voila a custom-sized belt just for you! The plastic buckle feels substantial and is not super fragile.

I got the 'chocolate' because I needed a brown belt, but the 'happy belt' also comes in many fun colors such as bubblegum (pink), milk (white), melon (orange) and emerald (green). So not only do you get a custom-fit belt, but you can show off your personality in any of the fun, happy colors. 

​These belts retail for $24.99 USD and $29.99 Canadian. Shop the happy belt here.

Head Up Heels Down canvas & leather tote

This tote is worth it's weight in gold!

The heavy duty canvas body is durable and large enough to fit a lap top, which is what I use it for. I carry my laptop, power cord and any other work tid bits that I don't want to put in my regular handbag. 

The leather straps tie in equestrian-inspired accents, as well as the imprinted mantra 'head up heels down' because many of us have heard our trainers say this many times throughout our lives - maybe not together, but definitely said so to ingrain it into our riding behavior.

While this tote could easily transition from the barn to happy hour, the light colored canvas makes me nervous around the barn with all the other horsey dirt we accumulate on our barn clothes. This tote, to me, is too pretty to use as a barn bag, I'd rather use it as an everyday carry-all. But like I said above, it's definitely large enough to be a ringside bag at a horse show if that's how you'd like to use it. It would also make a fun beach bag - stash swim suits, sunscreen, a hat, your sunglasses and a towel for a quick beach-day grab bag!

The head up heels down canvas and leather tote retails for $34.99 USD and $39.99 Canadian. Shop this tote here.
