That’s right! We’ve recruited Shawn, Vanessa’s husband and Wren’s dad... And he secretly loved it! We loved the idea of having a cowboy silhouette in the background of these photos, as they fit this theme! Danja brought all our visions to life through her talented photo skills.

It was time to step up our {Look Book} game and bring in a cowboy! We are loving the vintage look that having a male out in the distance gives off. I guess we can say, he might get hired for another gig around here!

eadin est H on the pony express W,
We love a good story and what could be a more nostalgic nod to the old west than the Pony Express? Even though short lived, the tales of the pony express are a part of American history and lore. It was innovative, strategic and got the job done. The youngest rider to deliver mail, 11 year old Bronco Charlie must’ve possessed values we admire today, to earn his place in the history books; bravery, can-do attitude and selfreliance. When it’s just you and your horse out on the trail facing attacks and adverse weather events, you better know you can handle what comes your way! When we found out there was an intact historical post office and pony express stop right here in Douglas County, an photoshoot idea was born. Though we’ll never have the infamy of the Pony Express, we have in common, the rugged American Individualism it represents!
You didn’t think you would get through the Look Book without a quick cape chat, did ya?
We went to Western and Co over a year ago with a design in our head, to create an exclusive, pink cape with {Retro Barbie} in mind. After chatting it over, it was quickly put into production and is dreamier than we could’ve ever imagined!
This year Barbie made the headlines, so it was quite fitting for our cape launch. The Dallas Dreamin’ is only available at Blush Out West.

I'm all about the business chic look, just in case you couldn't tell already! A classy top is a must, but then throw in the {Four Corners Tunic} and you have an all time fav. This tunic was an instant sell out last spring in the black version, and I’m going to go ahead and assume this fall blue color is going to follow suit!
