Skagit county auction rescue

"Sarah" is a 17yo thoroughbred mare, preliminary level eventer and broodmare. She was dumped at the Skagit county auction. Her complete story and more information will be posted shortly.

She is the sweetest mare. She had perfect manners, and took everything in stride. Sarah stood perfectly still for her evaluation; she is good with her feet, easy to catch, great shoulder, straight legs, pretty mover, quiet and very very sweet. Here are a few pictures:

NASCAR high heels and cowgirl boots?

"NASCAR is nudging its female fans to slip into something a little more comfortable — and fashionable." - USA Today



Just as 'Fashion Week' in New York is wrapping up -NASCAR is getting started. The sizzling stock car racing brand — which still has no female drivers in its top circuit — can no longer take women for granted. NASCAR might seem a boys' club, but women are 40% of NASCAR's fan base and 50% of its new fans.

NASCAR thinks it can boost it's product sales — and image — by courting female fans. Five years ago, NASCAR sold $84 million in goods for women. This year, it expects to sell roughly $250 million, much of it online at nascar.com, says Mark Dyer, vice president of licensing.

"NASCAR is one of the hottest brands out there," says Wendy Liebmann, president of WSL Strategic Retail. "A lot of middle-American women — women who shop — are devoted to the sport."

Some 51% of NASCAR's female fans say they'd opt to shop at retailers with NASCAR styles for women.
What NASCAR's doing to oblige: Swimsuits, Shoes, leather coats and purses, clothing, books (The Girls Guide to NASCAR hits bookstores next month.)
And after sales of two Harlequin romance novels took off last year, the publisher plans another 19 NASCAR-themed romances in the next year.

NASCAR brand shoes also sell in Victoria's Secret they're not awful but still a ways from couture. Although I would wear the pair above, but you can't go wrong with a pair of red patent leather pumps.

My amazing boyfriend Ben is really into NASCAR and stock car racing. I have watched a couple of races with him, including the Daytona 500, and slowly I am understanding the sport and starting to get into it. So where previously my opinion of NASCAR reflected this T-shirt from Bustedtees.com


I will eventually have to admit to being a NASCAR fan. Although I think I will stick to Salvatore Ferragamo and Jimmy choo

Shoe of the day! some Manolo's of course

For Spring it's all about the girly sandals. These kitten heel sandals by Manolo Blahnik are yummy! The "Petta" made in Italy has a 2" kitten heel, silver napa leather with gold flower appliqués. Love them

And these are some very yummy Manolo's from his spring collection: The "Tunel" is a Black with white polka dotted cotton keyhole vamp with solid white patent leather trim and bow detail, and a 3 1/2" covered heel. Of course it is made in Italy. Totally yummy shoes.

And some very funky open toed scalloped patent sandals. The "Suley" is nude with pink trim, silver-tone hardware and buckle detail in back. Very cute and super funky.
