Okay so, I've decided to do the occasional post on things that "inspire" me; whether it be a person, song, photograph, or a random object.
It doesn't matter what it is, just that it influences me in some way.
.......
My Mom has always been my muse, and she'll always be my best friend.
She's beautiful, and she's always had great style.
I have 25 years of brilliance chronicled to share with you.

She's with two of her horses, Jahil (R) and Tigger (L)

This is my absolute favorite picture of my mom. I think her wedding dress is the most gorgeous thing I've ever seen.

(She still has the white two-piece fox fur outfit, she has yet to actually give it to me but I am allowed to wear it)
