Hello May! It has been a while since I updated you with some snap shots of my life recently & these are all from Instagram – Horsesandheels_ if you are interested in following. I have to admit I’ve had a serious green thumb & just finished planting. Pictured, my turquoise/mint Coach bag with a newly …

I suppose you are wondering when I’m going to stop flashing back to the Houston trip? NEVER… Okay that seems a bit intense but I still have much more to show you! We stopped at Diamonds in the Dirt while we were in town to check out the barrel race & say hello to our …

Hello again Houston… errr actually Bryan Texas. See we Steven drove us all over while we were town & another cool place we stopped was Catalena Hatters. I had never been in an actual hat store or seen a cowboy hat made before, it was pretty cool.   Anything that is custom is cool. While …

While Tina & I were in Texas we spent on Saturday at Don Munn’s Rafter M Cutting Horses & Cattle Co. located in Hempstead, Texas. The ranch was beautiful & of course I went camera crazy; we rode horses in the morning (my first time on a cutting horse) & enjoyed an early St. Patrick’s …

I honor of the weekend, I’m keeping today’s post short & sweet. Just a few words of wisdom from Tina & I for you to ponder. Despite the long list of quotes from Sex & the City that I can recite, I don’t have any keywords or catch phrases that I say a lot. During …

It has been two weeks since I have been blogging full-time & one of my goals for the year is to do more on site visits of places, stores & designer headquarters. Up first is the trip I took to Rebecca Ray Designs because thankfully, she is just a short drive away. I have admired …

Happy Valentine’s Day! These are my “abstract heart” nails as I like to call them. I’m not sure if they look cute or if it just looks like a five-year-old did my nails. I also made you some candy… Don’t even get me started on Valentine’s Day baking or why there was a lack of …

Where oh where is the week going? And also where is January going? I thought it would be fun to include some snap shots from the month so far. I have been busy with transitioning from my full-time job to being a full-time blogger & setting up lots of great content. Above are some beer …

  SO GUESS WHAT?!??? I QUIT MY DAY JOB : ) I decided it was a blog worthy announcement & kind of big deal. I know a lot of you are probably like, “day job, I never heard you mention a job before”, “what??” or maybe “I just thought you were a rich blogger” – that …

  Hello Friday, since I’m declaring today “fun Friday” I decided to share some photos of my Christmas gifts, I played with my new photography lights (a gift from Adam) last night. Lighting is always tough indoors & now I won’t be having that issue anymore : ) As a blogger photos often make or …

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, mine went way too fast. It seems like you spend so much time preparing for it & in the blink of an eye it is gone. I had some quality time with Tara yesterday & that was nice, as many of you know Tara is now very much …

I love Pinterest & Horses & Heels just reached the 2k mark yesterday – bust out the champagne & streamers! Of course while I naturally want you to follow me I wanted to share 10 other boards that I love. 1. Shop Talk by Glitter Guide  It features awesome work places & environments of fun …

TGIF! Today I’m sharing some Instagram snap shots from my week, a fun Q&A & a request that I need your help with!   A few weeks ago the lovely Brandy from Cashmere & Camo nonminated me for a Leibster Award, if you want the full scoop behind it check that out here. I’m going …

  Today I just had to share Dappled Grey’s Holiday Guide to Equestrian Style. It’s fantastic & it makes me want to shop big time! In fact I have so much to do tonight that if I’m successful this girl is going shopping tomorrow : ) And next week you must stay tuned on the …

  Today I’m interrupting the normal fashion & fun on H & H for a little fun & promotion that might just involve you! If you follow along on Facebook you might have seen a post about my “Link Up Love” page. It is a work in progress & you can find it here. ~ …

I’ve been on Instagram for over a few months now (username horsesandheelsofficial) if you are interested in following along. I felt like I should share some of the “behind the scenes” moments that I documented on Instagram. The above nails are Jamberry.   This is the nail stickers on. They are going on over a …

  One second, that’s all it takes for one thing to go wrong in barrel racing & life.   If you tried to visit Horses & Heels in the past couple of days you might have noticed the blank white screen, white screen of death as I like to call it. The blog was down; …

TGFI! Did you know this was supposed to be my “day off”? Did you also know that “day off” translates to catch up on all of the other stuff I never have time to do? Like for instance updating the WordPress theme on this blog… which led to creating a child theme (which I did …

I now declare today – Fun Friday! Yesterday I was crabby, annoyed, tired & feeling stressed. But today’s a new day & I solved yesterday’s problems so here are some pictures from my latest obsession; Instagram! This has been a long time coming, Urban Country Style has always been asking me when I’m going to …

Happy July 1st… June was in & out in a flash. I’ve been keeping busy with LOTS of projects! I wanted to share some photos from the week. Tina’s broken hand has kept her away from these stirrups so they are making pretty kitchen decorations until she can get back on a horse. But I’m …

  Hello Sunday, I’m not sure if I even know where to begin. If you follow me on Facebook & Twitter you probably already know that my Mac was down & out at the Apple store for a couple of days. They had to erase my entire hard drive. Thankfully I always back up my …

  TGIF people! I know that I just returned from North Carolina (visiting my super smart friend Melissa at Duke Hospital) but I’m ready for another long weekend. Of course I have to share some photos of our adventures, or should I say girly rituals from the trip.   There was “product time” – nail …

Can we get a TGIF around here please?!?! Mango & I have been busy, okay I’ve been busy & Mango just pretends to be busy. Yesterday we worked on posing for the camera, she did a great job & is wearing her first sweater from her Aunt Melissa. Below Mango gives some modeling tips she …

Well I finally broke down & took the “big girl” camera plunge… Gasp said my wallet & credit card but this is going to be a very useful purchase. I’ve been taking photos with a $50.00 camera for the past few years & I had been talking about getting an upgrade for a while. I …
