Behind the Scenes + Fall Trends at Country Outfitter

Guest post by Stephanie McCratic – Acumen Brands & Evolved Mommy

Ever wondered what goes on at an e-commerce company? It isn’t all internet cafes in India. We promise.  CountryOutfitter.com is a boot retailer proudly based in Fayetteville, Arkansas, run by a super-genius former doctor, his carefully selected web developers and some orange robots (not even kidding).

Let me introduce myself to those of you whom I haven’t yet met. I’m Stephanie, and I blog at EvolvedMommy.com. I’m also the director of Social Media for Acumen Brands, which is the parent company of CountryOutfitter.com.

As part of the Arkansas Women Bloggers Unplugged conference we are excited to offer each of the attendees a pair of boots to keep plus a $150 gift card to give away to one of their readers.

Fall is our biggest time of the year at Country Outfitter and to help you gear up for this special boot season I thought I’d give you a behind the scenes peak at Country Outfitter’s operations and a sneak peek into the hottest boots coming up.

Without further delay…

Hot boots for Fall 2012

Click each boot to go directly to the product page for more details!

For Razorback tailgating every girl needs a good pair of red cowboy boots that will be comfortable all day whether it is hot or cold outside. Pair this with a t-shirt dress or leggings depending on the month and you’ll be the hit of the party.

The peekaboo on the top of the toe of these Ariat cowboy boots means all the detail isn’t lost when you wear these under your favorite jeans this fall. Or tuck your best dark skinny jeans into them with a cable knit chunky sweater and head out to dinner.

Find a concert or a bar and GO! These boots are so hot you just have to have them. Do not let reason stand in the way here. Bikes, Blues and BBQ is coming up in Fayetteville.  That’s reason enough.

Lucchese is great at pairing edgy with a little bit of southern class. They make their boots by hand in America and then make them look old. Basically the beat the crap out of them before you even get them. This camel color is the IT color in boots for fall. Wear them with grey leggings and just about anything else to set yourself apart as on trend.

We know Lucchese boots are a little spendy, but they are just so pretty. Look at the detail in these Gardenia boots. They are swoon worthy and ful of southern sass.

Old Gringo is huge right now. They are trendy because of their unique look and Texas style. Like camel, Caramel is a big fashion “do” this fall, which makes this boot one of our favorites.

We hope y’all have a great time Saturday night and if you ever need help with boots I’m just an email or a phone call away.

These boots are made for walkin’ – to #AWBU!

You are not going to BELIEVE what we have in store for you! You’ve heard us blog and babble about how truly amazing the Arkansas Women Bloggers Unplugged (#AWBU) conference is, and how we work hard to keep it cost-effective for women across Arkansas to attend. You’ve heard us rant about how the early-bird registration rate is just $135 until July 31, and then it’s still a bargain to attend at $150. Don’t forget: lodging is separate, but we have fab special rates for the Ozark Folk Center cabins (800-264-3655).

Here’s what you HAVEN’T heard: Country Outfitter is a new sponsor of the AWBU conference! And here’s the big news:

Every registered conference attendee is eligible to receive TWO pairs of Country Outfitter boots valued at up to $150 each! One for you, and one as a giveaway for your blog!
