"The incredible, the iconic, the trailblazer of all trends currently taking WESTERN by storm..."
Whoa, make a brand blush, why don't ya Saddle Bunny?! Our very own Alli Addison joined THE Saddle Bunny herself, Kaitie Blue Kepler of @lifewayward for the best podcast episode we've ever been involved with. Any perhaps our first? Honestly, we cannot recall anymore.
"Joining Kaitie in Vegas was something special, truly," explains Alli. "We started off our NFR crusade during weekend one with Saddle Bunny. It was our first PR meet up of the trip and we couldn't imagine kicking things off any other way. The episode was filled with deeply-rooted secrets, laugh-crying, Kaitie's perfect hair-do, me channeling my inner Lord Farquuad, a formal invitation to Bella Hadid to join us in Vegas and so much more."
"I have a rule that I don't ever listen to my interviews after they are recorded, I do not read any press that was written of myself, nothing. And this has been a long standing rule since I was a teenager. I've always felt that what was said was said and what was done is done, there is no use in going back and reliving it. Buttttttt... this episode, I can honestly say is worth a listen. Even by me," laughs Alli.

If we know one thing about NFR fashion this year, sporty cowgirl style is IN. We’ve been seeing a parade of knitted horse sweaters, riding boots, tweed, plaid, and blazers on the strip, topped off with cowboy hats and traditional Western accessories.
One piece in particular keeps popping up in fun ways – neck ties! The Western fashion girls keep reaching for this timeless accessory to wear by itself or pair with jewelry in unique ways. Take a look at a few of the outfits featuring this trendy piece:
The COWGIRL team even played in the neck tie trend. Check out this style from the November-December issue fashion shoot, Southwestern Allure.
Pioneers of the Sporty Cowgirl trend, Milton Menasco has become a major style influence (and favorite place to shop) for cowgirls looking to add elegant equestrian details into their wardrobe. Founder Alli Addison gives her take on the hot NFR trend and how it factors into a bigger, more elegant Western picture:
"We’ve been talking this week about 2023 being the year of the elegant cowgirl, the year where classics reign supreme, tradition takes center stage and we find ourselves reaching for pieces and accessories that speak of nostalgia. At Milton Menasco, we launched our satin necktie earlier this year actually as a complete afterthought. The lariat neck tie was born as a “waste not” item; crafted of left over fabric pieces from the construction of some of our larger garments."
"At the time I was looking for a simple accessory to add to our button down shirts and our collared sweatshirts. We had just introduced our “sporty” collection and in doing so, we wanted to offer both a modern approach to sport apparel / athleisure, but we also wanted to tap into the concept of vintage sport."
