Bright like a Diamond

DQ practice

Earlier this year, I purchased the consummate sparkle browband to go with my PS of Sweden dressage bridle, and I adore it. I mean, the thing almost glows.

(Sweet picture of myself and Jodi at Racing to Ride provided by Jodi. Yay blogger visit!)

Of course, due to being a dressage person now, we obviously need ALL THE SPARKLES.

so fancy

Hence, Courage got a custom bonnet with navy trim and white piping and a double line of sparkles. It's very fitting.

(You want? It's like $42 shipped to duplicate via FUN Bonnets. Love them.)

But that wasn't enough. Let's be real: there's never enough sparkles.

MOAR SPARKLES

I've known the face behind Topline Leather for a pretty long time now, but her gorgeous creations are much too $$$ for my poor self.

But when she came out with swarovski skull charms, well, obviously I had to hop on the band wagon. (I never used to be in to skulls before Beka. You guys have gotten to me!!)

So I guess you might say that's a lot of bling, particularly when it's paired with an alreaady-chromed face.

But wait, there's more!

he is obviously thrilled

It's my birthday later this month.

It was Helmet Awareness Day not that long ago.

You can see where this is going.

I talked the wonder hubs into buying me the sparkle Charles Own for my big present. I thought about going more "conservative" and staying with the black sparkles, but let's be real:

There is nothing conservative about bling. Wear it proud.

PS If we ever do make it to the hunter ring, I'm SOL on helmets. Oops.
