For my non-existent country house

What I want more than anything is a small cottage-esque country house in upstate New York that has enough land to keep a horse, or two. In said country house I would have a whole wardrobe of Barbour jackets and riding boots (even though I grew up doing endurance rides—I'm from Montana, remember—and not dressage and have never worn riding boots while on a horse), and chic-yet-cozy striped sweaters and wide-legged jeans. I think I would take a cue from our executive editor, Meredith Rollins, who has become, she says, "weirdly enamored with Boden." I don't think this love is weird at all, since they have awesome, nautical-themed tops and preppy little shoes. And yes, I said country house, not beach house, but whatever, right? So chic! Do you guys have any style fixations?
