wear. You will never see sequin/glitter tennis shoes or suede elbow patch color
block cardigans in my store, unless my taste drastically changes. I see other
boutiques that sell so many of these items but I really try to stay true to my own
style & it has brought me success these last 3 years.

RL: How do you go about assembling an outfit (for photoshoots, styling
clients, everyday)?
LBB: I create outfits based on how I would personally wear things. I'm a huge
fan of mixing patterns and textures. Many think the patterns clash; however, I
really love the contrasts. That's what makes the outfit fun and unique. For ex-
ample, wearing Camo & Snakeskin prints together is dream come true for me! I
love to encourage others to try and mix patterns too!

RL: What trends do you think we can expect to see at the NFR this year?
LBB: Animal Prints! Faux Fur, Fringe, Sequins & Metallics. Animal prints have been
on trend for many years, I don’t think it will ever change – at least I hope not!

RL: What tips and tricks do you have for styling on a budget?
LBB: I personally feel that I am queen of this. Finding the same looks for less.
One of my main goals for Lil Bee's is to bring Bohemian Cowgirl styles at an af-
fordable price. Most of our customers are 18-35 and a lot of them are in college
so money is tight.
You really need 10 staple pieces that you can mix & match to create several
looks. My top 10 pieces are:
1. Snake skin booties
2. Fringe sandals
3. Cut off jean shorts (I am in South Florida so I wear these yearlong!)
4. Distressed boyfriend jeans
(these go perfect with the snake skin booties & the fringe sandals!)
5. A good button up blouse – preferably a solid color – black or white
6. Fringe purse
7. Basic tees/tanks (& graphic tees/tanks)
8. A few kimonos
9. A bad ass cowgirl hat (this will change your whole look!)
10. Turquoise jewelry
These 10 items are pretty much a Bohemian Cowgirl starter kit & can all be
found at Lil Bee's Bohemian!
