Kristie Shehan, editor of The Scout Guide Boulder, is not only an long-standing member of her community, but an advocate for local businesses as she Scouts and shares the things she’s loving right now. Here are a few of Kristie’s current faves—from her favorite SPF to the dress that takes her from day to night. Shop her picks and give these Boulder small businesses a little love.
1.
WHAT I’M DECORATING WITH
Outlander Botanical Book Set
Juniper Books
“Shelf candy and on the wishlist of every bibliophile, Juniper Books makes the most beautiful and unique collections of popular, classic book series. If you already own the book you covet, they have the option to purchase just the dust jackets. These are true works of art.”
2.
WHERE I’M STAYING
A Luxe Staycation
Devil’s Thumb Ranch Resort and Spa
“Named by Condé Nast Traveler as a top 10 resort in the Mountain West, I constantly recommend a stay at this extraordinary resort to everyone I know. Horseback riding, fly fishing, and cross-country skiing followed by spa treatments and exquisite dining—what more could you want.”
3.
WHAT I’M CARRYING
By the Sea Organics Kantha Tote
Island Farm
“The perfect daytime tote, made with soft vintage fabric and fun prints, these machine washable bags go from the farmer’s market, to the beach, to yoga class, and everywhere in between.”

WHAT I’M NEVER TAKING OFF
Silver Buffalo Charm
Walters and Hogsett Jewelers
“I show my Boulder spirit with this Walters & Hogsett Buffalo charm. Cast in sterling silver with gold accents, it can be worn as a necklace or a bracelet.”

WHAT I’M TRAVELING WITH
The Jetsetter Gelly Pack by Dune SunCare
Eleanor
“The ultimate travel essential, this stellar trio includes a face sunscreen, body sunscreen, and sun repair aloe. It also makes for the perfect gift.”
6.
WHAT I’M WEARING
Canyon Dress by Our Sister
Acme Fine Goods
“This versatile dress is a must-have for summer travel. It packs well and can be worn on its own on hot days and layered on cooler nights. Dress it up with a heel or throw on a pair of cute sneakers for a more casual look.”
7.
WHAT I’M LOVING
Paintings by Barbara Schilling
Mary Williams Fine Art
“Barbara Schilling’s pieces at Mary Williams Fine Art are so gorgeous. Her painting Meadow Wildflowers has me eagerly anticipating the changing seasons, as spring and summer hues burst into view. The bold strokes and vivid colors are a breath of fresh air.”
