WE’VE ALL HAD THAT MOMENT WHEN OUR CLOSET IS FULL BUT WE CAN’T FIND A SINGLE THING TO WEAR. Whether it’s too big, too small, or just plain last season, the perfect outfit can be difficult to find.

It’s no wonder, too. Our style is the first thing the rest of the world sees, and whether or not we want to admit it, deep down we all care a little about how the world perceives us. With style being all around us in the form of clothing, hair, accessories, home decor or even food, we bring you our September issue—have you guessed it yet? The style issue!

Whether you’re interested in a complete fall wardrobe refresh or are just looking for a few style pointers, we’re excited to share with you the stylings of Billings.

We’re not just into clothes and accessories, though. From local designers and

local boutiques to style for your home, your hair and even your meals, Billings has so much to offer we wish we could’ve squeezed it all in.

Whatever kind of style you’re into this season, we hope this issue inspires you to enjoy the finer things in life.

Stay stylish, Billings.

RUSTIC FRESH FRUIT TART CHEF JOANIE SWORDS OF HARPER & MADISON SHARES A MOUTHWATERING DESSERT RECIPE ARTICLE STEPHANIE HOWER PHOTOGRAPHY TREVAN HIERSCHE

Billings Lifestyle | September 2018

"HARPER & MADISON DELIGHTS IN MAKING AND SERVING EUROPEAN-STYLE DESSERTS. We use real butter, cream, fine chocolate and the best quality ingredients that we can find. We work with our hands and our hearts to create exceptional food."

—Joanie Swords, owner and founder of Harper & Madison.

PUFF PASTRY INGREDIENTS

2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter 2 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 teaspoon salt 2/3 cup cold water

DIRECTIONS Cut 2 sticks butter into quarter-inch cubes. Place in a single layer on a plate and chill. Place flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. Cut remaining half stick butter into thin slices and add to food processor; pulse to combine. Add 1 cup chilled butter cubes and pulse 3 times, about 1 second each. Add half to the water and pulse once. Add remaining water and pulse twice. Dough will not form a ball. Scrape dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Lightly flour dough and, using your hands, squeeze and shape dough into a rectangle. Roll dough into a 10-by-21-inch rectangle. Fold the 10-inch ends over the middle to make three layers (like a letter). Position one of the 7-inch ends so that you can roll up dough like a jelly roll. Place dough on a lightly floured work surface, seam side down. Sprinkle top of dough lightly with flour and press down using your hand to form a rectangle. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.

PASTRY CREAM INGREDIENTS

3 cups milk 1 cup heavy cream 4 ounces granulated sugar

3 eggs 2 ounces cornstarch 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

2 ounces unsalted butter

DIRECTIONS Combine first four ingredients and bring to a boil. Cream together 2 egg yolks, 1 egg, 4 ounces granulated sugar and 2 ounces cornstarch. Take 1 cup boiling mixture and slowly add to egg mixture with the mixer running, until egg mixture is warm to the touch. Pour egg mixture into boiling milk. Continue boiling for approximately 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Pour immediately through strainer. Place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pastry cream and refrigerate.

(CON TI N U ED)

APRICOT GLAZE INGREDIENTS 1 10-ounce jar apricot preserves 5 ounces water

DIRECTIONS Boil, strain and chill.

RASPBERRY COULIS INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 pints raspberries 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup water

DIRECTIONS Combine raspberries, sugar and water. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Cool completely. Blend until smooth. Strain.

FRESH FRUIT Wash and slice a colorful variety of fresh fruits for the topping. We used blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, peaches, and kiwi.

TO ASSEMBLE PASTRY: Roll out puff pastry to a diameter 3 inches larger than the removable bottom tart pan of your choice. Fold the excess 3 inches into the inside of the pan to create a rustic-looking shell. Press to seal the edges of the folded-in pastry to the bottom of the shell. Brush with beaten egg and prick several times with a fork. Cool the shell completely. Place a generous layer of pastry cream into the shell. If desired, shake powdered sugar onto the shell. Top with sliced fresh fruits, then brush with apricot glaze.

MOVING FORWARD INTO THE NEW SEASON, YOUR WARDROBE SHOULD BE AS CRISP AND COOL AS AN AUTUMN DAY. Changing weather means it's time to reinvigorate your closet with fresh pieces.

Yet shopping can be a daunting task, fraught with indecision and insecurity. Luckily, on the West End in the Shops at Shiloh Crossing, there is a store where each stylist has one goal in mind: finding every customer's personal style and fostering confidence. Bottega offers the latest fashions and a luxurious shopping experience.

Katie Cline Ellis, owner of Bottega, had a vision when she opened her store. She wanted to bring something unique to Billings and take the frustration out of shopping by creating the ultimate personal shopping experience. By visiting markets in LA, New York and Las Vegas, Bottega's styles are of the highest quality and reflect the latest trends.

Katie also knows that confidence is key.

"Each stylist is trained on how to appropriately dress each woman based on body type, lifestyle and personality," she says. "We get to know our customers personally and pull together outfits and suggestions based on our knowledge of the products and what we have learned about them. At Bottega, we make it fun and easy and instill the confidence back in our customers."

There is something special about this time of year for Katie.

"Fall is personally my favorite season to dress for," she says. "I love that you are able to layer in ways that make styles cozy and easy to wear, yet classic and casual. We get back into denim after the heat of summer, and jeans are a big part of Bottega because we represent premium denim brands that truly understand a woman's body. We see denim as an investment, and we love helping women find their next favorite pair of jeans!"

Be on the lookout for chic autumn trends such as sweaters of varying lengths, dark and moody floral prints, incredible ankle boots and the perfect leather jacket.

Man’s best friend deserves a great agent too.

“After a bad auto accident involving clients of the agency, they made the Highway Patrolman promise NOT to put their beloved dog BeBe in a shelter as they were both being transported to the hospital for care.

The Patrolman held the dog for a couple hours but then had to press the owners for a decision on what to do with their dog.

They announced that their agent, Frank DuPree, would help them out and please take the dog to the insurance agency.

Believe it or not the Patrolman arrived with the little dog who was not hurt, but missing its owners. Frank took charge of the dog and it was returned to the owners later that evening. Talk about a full service agency!”

She began college at MSU Billings when she was only 14 and went on to graduate with a double major in music performance. Through a photographer friend, she eventually tested Rachelle Kathleen on a Billboard in Times Square

the waters of modeling. Despite having no background or experience, she immediately fell in love. Since then, she has dedicated herself to learning and constantly working to become the best she can.

"I was just a bored girl who loved makeup, had time to waste, with Instagram and eyeliner in hand," she says. "If you had asked me two years ago if I was going to pursue a fulltime career of makeup artistry and modeling through social media, I would have laughed.

But here I am, and I honestly couldn't be happier to be in this career."

She feels extremely blessed to have such amazing people to help support her dreams, especially those she has met through her endeavors.

"My followers have been such a huge support and driving force for me to keep learning and trying. To know your work as an artist is loved or appreciated is truly one of the greatest feelings, and I feel so lucky because through social media, I get to experience that every single day and connect with so many wonderful people from all over the world."
