As a Native,

I know the Treasure Valley.

I know Idaho.

As a proud husband and father, I fully understand the importance of family and the individual needs each person has during the process of buying or selling a home. I also understand the level of trust my clients have given me to navigate them through one of their biggest financial decision of their lives. I have and will always exceed their expectations through out the process and make sure they feel as if they are being taken care of like family.

Kimber Patterson | kimber.patterson@lifestylepubs.com STAFF WRITER

A FASHION-FORWARD FALL AS ONE OF THE WEST’S GREAT OUTDOOR PLAYGROUNDS, BOISE IS A CITY KNOWN MORE FOR HIKING TRAILS THAN FASHION RUNWAYS. Residents generally dress for their active and busy lives, for comfort, and for themselves rather than follow passing trends .

with outdoor adventure.

Our style issue focuses on fashion ensembles from local boutiques like Robert Comstock and Piece Unique; creative interior design from Fancy Pants; and 10 Local Fashion Finds which will keep you looking chic in every season.

Linden Bateman highlights the life of local legend Reginald Reeves, a style icon in his own right. At 94 years old he remains dignified and elegant in personality and presence, and his life of dedicated service to others is an inspiration to all.

Don’t forget to mark your calendar for Treefort Music Fest in September and the Trailing of the Sheep Festival in October. For other ideas on 10 Ways to Relax and Unwind in Boise and Eagle, check out this month’s Local Experience section.

The year-long campaign and program/event series commemorated the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which recognized the right to vote for many, but not all, women.

"So We Did" celebrated the Boise individuals who mobilized and empowered women to advocate for the right to vote, and expanded the conversation to include underrepresented groups.

WILD, NATURAL, ADVENTUROUS, AUTHENTIC - BOISE STYLE IS A FRAME OF MIND. Ask anyone what “Boise Style” means to them and you’re likely to get as many answers as there are people in the Treasure Valley. It’s an attitude that’s as friendly as it is fierce. It’s an outlook of independence and strength. It’s the spirit of creativity and collaboration. Our style is about the way we live.

We may or may not follow fashion trends, but we stay true to our own aesthetic.

We mix rugged textures with soft fabrics. We create art with makeup using our skin as the canvas. We go everywhere – from a hike in the foothills to dinner downtown afterward - and we do it without changing our boots.

Our active and busy lives dictate our fashion choices, but Boise Style is timeless.

THE NATURAL BEAUTY OF THE DESERT INSPIRES OUR LIVES AND SENSE OF STYLE

It’s the distinct landscape and natural beauty of the land that inspires our sense of style.

The rich colors of the desert - taupes, greens, rusts, and terra cotta – feel right on our clothes, too. Give us organic cottons, sustainably raised wool and cashmere, and a standout leather coat and we become part of the landscape ourselves.

THE ART OF PLEIN AIR 8TH ANNUAL ART FESTIVAL TURNS EAGLE INTO AN OUTDOOR LIVING GALLERY

ARTICLE MEG GLASGOW PHOTOGRAPHY ALLIE ZEYER, MIKE OLSON, DAVID MENSING, MEG GLASGOW

THE EAGLE PLEIN AIR FESTIVAL ATTACTS PAINTERS FROM ALL OVER NORTH AMERICA. More than eighty painters are expected to turn Southwest Idaho into an outdoor living art gallery October 9-16. “Over the course of a week, we host numerous artist workshops and presentations, culminating in our signature Festival Celebration featuring an art auction, concert and wine tasting,” says festival founder, Meg Glasgow. Which means there are plenty of opportunities to explore, experience, expand, and discover art, music, food, culture, and friendship.

WHAT DOES PLEIN AIR MEAN EXACTLY?

Photo Credit: Meg Glasgow

Photo Credit: Mike Olson

It hails from the French word en plein air, an expression that means “into the open air.” Plein air can be described as the “not-so-simple” art of painting outside. While that may not seem like a big deal, when you take weather and the nature of being outdoors into consideration, it starts to become a bit less simple, and a bit more… unpredictable. That’s the beauty of the Plein Air Festival: you never quite know what you’re going to get, and it’s a one-of-a-kind experience you can’t get anywhere else.

From demonstrations to competitions and celebrations, the Festival has everything to keep you entertained, beginning on October 9 with a timed event bringing painters to downtown Eagle for a two hour quick draw painting competition from 10:00am – 12:00pm.
