Changes All Around

So since I got it floating in my head that I should change the blog name, which probably won't happen, but I can pretend it did, I am definately revamping Fashion Friday. I've decided that Friday will now be Friday Favorites. This way I can adapt more products into the mix and involve more of the team favorites. I think I will still do a fashion post each week, but I think I am going to call it What to Wear Wednesday, making my blog a 4 day a week project :).

So beginning tomorrow Friday will showcase team favorites, Tuesday and Thursday will still be my random ramblings and Wednesday will be what is new and fun to wear. I hope every one enjoys the changes. Change is fun!!!!!

The Cowgirl Way

So I have been blogging for awhile now and I have come to the conclusion that this blog should be the Burns Cowgirl Way. I haven't posted an entirely whole lot about "cowboy stuff". I mean I know there were a few posts on the "Ask the Experts" that could qualify, but to be honest, I didn't write only but one of those, and it was about jeans.

Of course then that brings me to what do I know about being a cowgirl? I've always said that aside from the boots, there is not much western about me. However, I am learning. I get to work with some fantastic cowgirls and I get to meet some pretty amazing cowgirls in the store.

So what have I learned? I've learned a cowgirl is just as much an attitude as it is a way of life. A cowgirl is confident, independent, smart, focused, driven, hardworking and she knows what she wants as well as how to acquire it. A cowgirl knows who she is and where she is going. She appreciates beauty both in herself and her surroundings. A cowgirl is fun, loving, dedicated and is a friend for life.

The more I learn and the more people that I have the pleasure to get to know, the more I am greatful for the opportunities that being part of the Burns Team has brought into my life. I look forward to adapting The Cowgirl Way into my life.

Fashion Friday

Last week was a little for the golden girl, this week is for the silver starlet. Our fun look comes to us from Rock 47 by Wrangler, Cowgirl Tuff and Lucchese.




This white long sleeve burn out tee has just the right amount of sparkle. The Cowgirl Tuff logo as well as the design down the arms is done in iridescent crystals. This shirt is great worn alone or layered with another shirt.

These great jeans are from Rock 47 by Wrangler. The silver sequins on the back flap pocket definately say "these aren't your typical Wranglers".



Adding some more eye appeal is this great belt from Nocona. The belt is surrounded with crystal squares accented by round crystals.

Finishing off the look are these fabulous pastel python boots by Lucchese. The soft pastels against the striking black make for a fun and daring combination.

You can click on the pictures for more information on the products or check out the Burns Saddlery Website.

Cinco de Mayo

It is the 5th of May or also known as Cinco de Mayo. Cinco de Mayo is often confused as being Mexico's Independence Day, which it is not. That is September 15th, but I digress, Cinco de Mayo celebrates an unlikely victory for the Mexican Army over the French forces at the Battle of Puebla. It is celebrated primarily in the state of Puebla and in the United States.

In the United States there are several events that celebrate the day. We don't have many celebrations in our area, but for me Cinco de Mayo makes me think of chips & salsa. So here is a recipe for one of my favorites


Pico De Gallo


6 plum tomatoes, chopped

1 medium onion, chopped

3 Tbsp. minced cilantro

2 Tbsp. lime juice

1 garlic clove, minced

1/2 tsp. salt


Combine all ingredients. Chill at least 1 hour.

May Boot of the Month

The boot of the month for May is the gorgeous Cheyenne. The Cheyenne is a striking sage boot with a beautiful chocolate hand filigreed asymmetrical overlay on the vamp, as well as a filigreed collar.


A filigreed overlay on the pull tabs completes this classy boot. This boot is truly a classic work of art that will stand the test of time.


The Cheyenne has several options for wear. A few suggestions would be paired with a dark boot cut or skinny jean. It would also be adorable with a fun summer dress or skirt.


If you are looking for a unique and classy boot, the Cheyenne is definately the girl for you. Click here for more information on the Cheyenne Boot.
