Frost Yourself | Frosted Cowgirls Boutique

If you’ve ever watched How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days, you might remember the scene where Ben (Matthew McConaughey), is working on a tagline for the Delour Diamond campaign and suggests “Ladies, Frost Yourself” to his co-workers. The idea of someone “frosting themselves” with fancy goods is quick to catch on, both in the movie and in real life. Enter Rikki Ruiz, owner of The Frosted Cowgirls, who,

NFR Outfit Lookbook

Are you ready for something slightly embarrassing?! Less than thirty days until the most pivotal ten days in western fashion, and I don’t even have a single outfit picked out. Yes, I am very ashamed of my inner fashionista. I am normally the highly-organized girl who starts planning her outfits in September, but this year it just didn’t happen. The thing is, I know there are a few others out

Upping the Denim Game: Kimes Ranch Jeans

Ask any woman, or man for that matter, their thoughts on denim, and they’ll probably tell you that few things in life are better than a good pair of jeans. We couldn’t agree more, which is why we’re super excited to introduce you to Kimes Ranch Jeans (KRJ). Although we probably aren’t actually the first to tell you about KRJ–their jeans, caps, tees, and hoodies are worn by some of

Brand Your Style: Triangle T Boutique

When it comes to western fashion, few in the Pacific-Northwest (PNW) do it better than Triangle T Boutique.

The Boutique Awards – Top Global Boutiques

Seven is the lucky number. Seven years, that is. Both the Global Winner of The Boutique Awards 2017 and the Global Runner-Up have been in business for seven years. While these two boutiques may not be similar in style, they certainly know how to work hard & inspire plenty of women. In fact, when our regional boutique awards winners were asked to name a role or business mogul they admire,

Embroidery Everywhere.

Embroidery- it’s almost everywhere, and we’re lovin’ it! We all remember when the free-flowing embroidered blouse became the piece you had to own. But now embroidery is taking over our closets from dresses to jeans and even to your new favorite embroidered shoes. It brings unique and colorful boho vibes that make you stand out, in a great way! We went on the search for some of our favorite embroidered

How To: Shop Vintage

A huge part of the western culture and fashion is about the good ole days.  Worn-out spurs decorate houses, grandma’s dated recipes regularly make the menu for dinners, stories of “the olden times” flood the ears of younger generations, and vintage clothing will never go out of style.  Classic pieces are a staple that all women should include in their closets, but that’s easier said than done.  I get asked

Red, White and Fab-Blue-Lous!

The Fourth of July is one of my absolute favorite holidays! Family and friends gather together to celebrate our independence. All around us are American flags, music, sparklers, fireworks, backyard barbecues, long days at the lake and pool, parades. However, you are celebrating this year I have put together some cute and casual outfits that’ll be sure to show your patriotism. While we have 3 colors to work with what
