Wake up. Coffee intake. Brush teeth. Wash face. Shower. Cleans. Closet open. Decisions. With the adornments that unfold, eclectic attire pairings often turn out the most interesting, yes? In life, the best realizations tend to be gathered from a melting pot of experiences. Let’s break that down to a simple parallel: much is the same with the clothes you wear. Style is a manifestation of your experience. It is who you are, what you care about, what you’ve seen, the aesthetics you are captivated by; the life you live & the person you become. Accouterments in the wardrobe department are representative of the steps you have taken; your favorite sunglasses from a quaint shop in California, a sterling necklace from a silver jeweler in Colorado, lace up boots from that awesome outlet you stumbled upon in Montana, those stand-by jeans you acquired during a trip to New York, a comfy button up you snagged from the vintage store down the road from your house…the list goes on. Yes, you can go to Bloomingdales & have the sales representative dress you from head to toe, but the most interesting outfits are formulated from a smattering of mementos, paired together in your own special -sometimes quirky-  way. After sitting down with Katie Jacobs, owner of Cheeky Peach boutique, we gathered that this lovely lady was of the the same sentiment (thank goodness!)

Peachy Keen

Cheeky Peach is geared towards eclectic style. Mrs. Jacobs uses her keen eye to pull in garments from vendors in New York & Los Angeles. Her hope is to cater to young ladies looking for high end quality & customer service at a not-so-sky-high price. As she defines her boutique, “Cheeky Peach is affordable with an expensive experience.” The goal is to provide items that mesh well with multifarious means of dressing. Our interest was immediately sparked. Upon further discussion, talk of a lookbook ensued. Following through on this notion, we teamed up with the likes of Cheeky Peach, alongside Agora & Minx to showcase the seamless marriage of boutique & vintage finds. Take a look-see, if you please, at the pretty pictures we snapped with two amazing photographers, Daniel Fell & Katie Bell Moore, & a team of savvy style clad folk!
