“Accessories are the exclamation point of a woman’s outfit.” -Michael Kors. Oh how true does this statement ring. I love accessories and I never quite feel complete until I have them on. It’s just the finishing touch that gives you that little extra oomph. I happened to meet this sweet business owner Beth with Rustic Rose and I fell in love with her pieces. Her pieces just fit me and my personal style to a tee, I can wear them to dress up or just for every day wear. I did a fun little sit down Q&A with Beth so y’all can know more about her and the face behind the brand!

Little Background on Beth…
Twenty-one year old Beth was born and raised in Hanna, Alberta. She now goes to school at Medicine Hat College where she is actively involved in student leadership. Beth enjoys baking, riding horses, and hunting in her spare time.

Let’s Get This Interview Party Started!

H: How long have you had Rustic Rose? 
B: I started Rustic Rose in April of 2015, so about three years.

H: What or who inspired you to start Rustic Rose?
B: Some of my girlfriends and I were getting ready to go to a local rodeo and dance.  We started planning our outfits out a few days ahead  and we all struggle to find western jewelry that was within our “poor-college student” budgets.  I just decided to try my hand at making some jewelry so I went to a local craft store and got a few turquoise beads and pendants and made a necklace. I wore it out and later posted a picture on social media of me wearing the necklace. Before I knew it I had family and friends asking where they could get the necklace. Here’s the beginning of Rustic Rose.

(Wow that’s so fun Beth! I love how you got started!)

H: Did you have to seek advice before you got started or did you just go for it?
B: I just went for it! I kind of stumbled across the business idea so in the beginning I just made jewelry for friends and family. When word started getting around I made a Facebook page and things progressed from there.

H: What are your 2 favorite pieces in your store right now? 
B: Turquoise studs- they go with everything! Taupe rosary necklace with extra long fringe.

H: What has been the biggest blessing about your business in your life? 
B: The support I receive from friends, family and strangers. Without them I wouldn’t have a business. 

H: Anything fun an exciting coming for Rustic Rose these next few months?
B: I am excited to be expanding into hand-pressed apparel! My website will launch June 9th, rusticrose.org. It will be full of classic jewelry pieces, tons of cute tees as well as
Spin-Em hats.

That is so beyond exciting Beth, I am beyond pumped for you!!! Thank you for taking the time to do a little sit down with us and letting us get to know you a little more!  To check out Rustic Rose and all of Beth’s fabulous creations CLICK HERE!

You know Twinning is Winning

The Humming Arrow

I love this little side slit on the left side of the dress it allows for a little extra movement but it also is just fun! I paired this dress with some nude strappy heels and my Vintage Boho fringed clutch and a long statement necklace to help elongate the torso some more.

Then I decided to jazz it up a little more…

I added a pair of my favorite Stetson booties and then popped on a fun denim vest! Oh yes and I upgraded that clutch to a bigger Vintage Boho bag. I think this look is super fun but still very classy. The ways you can style this dress really is limitless. That is the one fun thing about dresses you can dress them up or down and use them for any occasion. Like grocery shopping add some cute flip flops and do your thang! Or get them heels girl and head out for a fun date night or a girls night!

No matter what dress or outfit you rock this Easter remember to be confident in who you are and who God created you to be. Which is a fearless and fabulous woman of God! Live life with Grace & Style and you can not go wrong.

Happy New Year readers! I am finally getting to wear I can get back in the groove of blog things and to kick of the New Year how about a little “How To” inspiration. If you are like me sometimes I look at pieces and wonder first how do you wear that and two how can I mix it up a little. So for those looking how to wear those fabulous wrap necklaces like this Johnie & Jewell one, this article is for you!

Fyi I am really crushing on this Buffalo Nickle Wrap right now click any Johnie & Jewell link to be taken straight to their website!

Here is the first way is styled it

So first what you do, or what I do is put the Buffalo Nickle/ Pendent wear you want it to lay. Then wrap it back and for being sure to leave enough on the ends to tie a bow and viola! Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy!

Up Next Style #2

This one is pretty straight forward I wrapped it like the first way only leaving myself enough to knot it at the back of my neck. I love this look for the simple reason of being clean and easy.

Next Style #3

I love love this way it is my go to for most all my wrap necklaces especially this fun Johnie & Jewell necklace. Just wrap once and then just leave a loose knot. This gives you the choker look plus the long necklace look! 2 for one! 🙂

Next and Style #4

Hello bracelet this style you might need some assistance with it but some of you might be a little more coordinated than me too. Hehe! Just wrap then tie it off then wrap the bottom and then wrap the top, tie it off underneath the wrist. Ta-da!

Now for my favorite way and #5!

A little hair accessory! Lose all your hair ties or wanna dress up a hair style and add a little something something to it. Try this! The best way to do it is to just like the bracelet, put it where you want it tie it off then wrap wrap wrap! Haha

And there you have it! 5 ways to wear this fabulous Johnie & Jewell wrap necklace! You should take a minute to head over and check out all their fabulous pieces! I hope y’all enjoyed this fun piece!

3rd Annual Countdown 2 Vegas- 0 Days Part 2
Featuring Fashionista
Stylishly Tryan
Bobbie Tryan

Let’s Get To Know Bobbie A Little Better…

I am not sure where to begin with this beautiful lady! Not only is she an amazing fashionista but she’s an amazing friend. She’s my bestie of  about 13 years now and it’s hard to come up with the right words sometimes to just describe everything she means to me, my family and my life! But this is not a sappy time so let’s get down to the fashion and the last lady on this year’s countdown. 

H: What are you looking forward to at this year’s Wrangler NFR?
B: Watching my husband and others compete. Spending time with great friends. Eating awesome food and wearing some amazing pieces.

H: What trends are you looking forward to seeing this year?
B: Velvet, leather, fur and custom hats are a few of my favorites. I’m excited to wear those pieces and looking forward to seeing how others put their personal spin on them. Haley Corkill already set the bar so high here in a velvet jumpsuit and fur, it was perfection!

H: What is a must see or do in Las Vegas?
B: Obviously the rodeo. If you can find tickets it’s definitely a must. The atmosphere is great in the Thomas and Mack! If it’s your first time here, walking the strip and checking out the different hotels can be fun. As far as shopping goes you literally could shop ‘till you drop. The trade shows are incredible plus Fashion Show mall, the Forum Shops, and the outlets. If you are bringing kids, the aquarium at Mandalay Bay, Circus Circus, Top Golf and dummy roping at the trade shows are a few fun things for them to do.

H: What is a must have for first timers in Vegas?
B: Blister Block, it’s a life saver. It’s difficult to look chic when your feet hurt. Also Emergen-C is a good thing to have with you. And if you are in Vegas for awhile a humidifier for your room.

H: What is 1 piece of style advice for Vegas?
B: Just have fun with your style. There’s no rules, no competition. Wear what you want and have a great time!

H: What is your favorite place to eat?
B: Craft for steak, it’s incredible. Shake Shack is my favorite burger place. Capprioti’s for the Bobbie sandwich. I have a whole list of taco places I’ve tried and want to try. We also eat a lot of In N Out, Chipotle and Cafe Rio. I’ve been here a few days and I’ve ate at Nacho Daddy twice already, it’s so good. I plan on eating some great sushi while I’m here. Plus I’ll cook a few nights at the room and invite some friends over!

Y’all fyi these food choices I can say for sure are ahh-mazing! Bobbie thank you so much for taking the time to be on this year’s Countdown 2 Vegas!

Let’s Get To Know Brandi A Little Better…

H: What are you looking forward to at this year’s Wrangler NFR?
B: This year I am most looking forward to seeing the final product of everyone’s hard work from bloggers to influencers to rodeo athletes and rodeo wives. It seems that every year the fashion game is stepped up and more and more is planned and put in motion which is absolutely amazing for everyone involved. Everyone has worked tirelessly throughout the year to step up their game, plan and implement more fashion shows, fashion events, and things to participate in and attend. I cannot WAIT to see the amazing outfits everyone has put together and get to show off my own at the same time! I want to take as many photos with everyone as possible! The talent in the rodeo world is also ever increasing, which means the athletes also have to step up their game. They have all worked so hard to get to this point and equally deserve the spotlight…It takes a village!

H: What trends are you looking forward to seeing this year?
C:I love to look at fashion and see people’s personalities expose themselves through what they wear. I am personally in love with all things fur and tooled leather. Plus it’s Vegas so everything will be done with as much glam as possible. 

H: What is a must see or do in Las Vegas?
C: I’m in love with The Forum Shops at Caesar’s Palace so that visit is always on the to-do list! There are so many amazing stores and restaurants; it’s definitely a one stop shop for the best food and shopping Vegas has to offer.

C: The High Roller Wheel at the Linq. At night it’s an incredible view and can be a little thrilling for those of you like myself that are afraid of heights.

H: What is 1 piece of style advice for Vegas?
C: Make sure you rep your own style! We all have our own flavor and it can be overshadowed by the major trends! Whatever you wear, be you and wear it with confidence! Confidence is 90% of an outfit.

H: What is your favorite place to eat?
C: Hash House a Go Go. Best breakfast anywhere! I’m a morning girl so breakfast tends to be my most important and favorite meal. This place is fun, loud music, cool servers, and great food. Reminds me a little of my own kitchen.

3rd Annual Countdown 2 Vegas- 1 Day Part 1
Featuring Fashion Posse Creator
Tiffany

Let’s Get To Know Tiffany A Little Better…

Tiffany is also Co-owner of Western Runway as well as the creator of the Fashion Posse. She is always is trying to help spread the word a fashion and sharing great outfits from Rodeo Wives and girlfriends! Fyi follow her accounts posted after the this interview to see last nights amazing fashion from the Back Number Ceremony!

H: What are you looking forward to at this year’s Wrangler NFR?
T: The deep breath I get to take after my boyfriend ropes the first calf. Ha! Not sure why but every year the first nigh is the only night I’m nervous. After that I’m looking forward to having fun and seeing all the great fashion!

H: What trends are you looking forward to seeing this year?
T: Apparently velvet is going to be trending because when I started packing I found that I had about 5 cranberry colored velvet items. As most things do velvet had what I like to call, it’s “soft release” last year. That’s the year a few people wear something and then it catches on the next year. So I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot of velvet in Vegas! or maybe just on me who knows. 😄

H: What is a must see or do in Las Vegas?
T: Tuf and I don’t get much down time while we’re there for the finals. The times we’ve been there throughout the year we’ve gone to the indoor skydiving which was fun and we always make a shopping trip to Caesars forum shops.

H: What is a must have for first timers in Vegas?
T: A good pair of flats! During the day I let my feet rest in a comfortable pair of shoes. This year I packed a lot of Miss Maci boots so my feet won’t be hurting at all.

H: What is 1 piece of style advice for Vegas?
T: Wear whatever you want!!! Who cares! It’s Vegas and we have to wear boots and dirty jeans all year. This is the time we get to dress nice and not have to worry about getting horse poop or shaving all over us. 

H: What is your favorite place to eat?
T: Craft Steak house at the MGM Grand.

Tiffany thank you girl so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to be a part today. I am grateful for you and everyone who has been a part of this Countdown.
