Dark Horses from Dark Pony Designs

Now, it's no secret I love everything equestrian. I mean, Hello! I named my business Dark Pony, that's commitment. Equestrian chic will not be exempt from this fall/winter fashion season. August brings back to school and an end to summer. These are just a few of my favorites for those frosty mornings that are right around the bend.

Old Money-High Style: DIOR Couture 2010

I am such a sucker for anything John Galliano. In my opinion he is a genius and he knows how to pile on the glam sky high. In this collection he featured so many of my favorite elements: equestrian, veiling, top hats, spats, lace, tear drop crystals, volume, and of course color! Here are my favorites:

Oh to have that hat!

The craftsmanship of this dress is amazing

LOVE these boots

Fushia opera gloves in leather- oh yeah!

Amazing hat- beautiful earrings

This was my favorite makeup look of the show...perfection!

Top Hats Top it Off

My current obsession is top hats for women-especially ones that have veiling. Top hats exude luxury, timeless appeal, and create an androgynous sexy mystery. Whether white or black, shiny or matte, these millinery wonders have topped off the most amazing icons of pop culture. It's high fashion, it's equestrian chic, and it's burlesque femme fatale. If you want to make a statement this New Years Eve- I would suggest a little black bustier dress, killer stilettos, and sexy little top hat covered in veil!
