AAfire Boutique
Heather Clark
Heather Clark founded AAfire Boutique three years ago, after feeling called to create a business that combined her faith with a desire to give back. Inspired by Matthew 5:16, she uses her boutique as a way to serve others, supporting orphanages and mission work around the world. “The entire purpose of my business is to support and serve those in need,” Heather shared.
When it comes to style, Heather loves blending classic Western details with bohemian touches and elevated fabrics. “This outfit makes me feel strong, beautiful, confident, and feminine,” she says. It’s the ultimate versatile autumn look, perfect for a country concert, a winery date, or a weekend getaway to Nashville.
The Look: A floral, lace-up corset midi dress paired with an embroidered Western hat and ivory Western boots.
Where to Shop: Queen Bee Boutiques and Artisan’s Corner on Wall in Harrisonville.

Elizabeth Kelly
Kelly Burgess
Driven by a love for affordable, comfortable fashion, Kelly Burgess started her boutique while working as a teacher. She wanted to bring stylish pieces that wouldn't break the bank and could easily carry over from a workday in the classroom to the weekend. “My goal is always to source versatile pieces that integrate effortlessly with standard staples in your closet,” Kelly shared. “A great top can be worn on its own or layered with a cardigan as the weather turns.”
Her featured fall look gives an instant confidence boost. "This is something that could be worn anywhere, which is something I love about it."
The Look: A blue and white gingham top paired with fan-favorite jeans, a signature Elizabeth Kelly necklace, and personal accessories.
Where to Shop: Queen Bee Boutiques, Artisan’s Corner on Wall in Harrisonville, Urban Edge in Kearney, KC Style Haus on the Plaza, and coming soon The Collective Boutiques in Overland Park!

Pink Lemonade
Ryan Youngstrom
After leaving corporate America to stay home with her son following a rare medical diagnosis, Ryan Youngstrom started Pink Lemonade as a creative outlet. "It gave me something to call mine and another title besides 'mom,'" Ryan shares. Her boutique kept her creative spirit alive and provided therapeutic balance through heavy life moments.
Ryan brings her creative passion into seasonal fashion ready for tailgate season and Red Friday. "This outfit is the epitome of cute and casual," she adds. "It is so comfortable, but doesn’t lack style."
The Look: Mineral wash t-shirt dress embellished with a KC arrowhead corner design.

Wild With Grace Boutique
Angela Hart
As a full-time real estate agent and mom, Angela Hart decided three years ago that she didn't have to settle for just one passion. She launched Wild With Grace Boutique on the belief that no matter your age, you can be stylish and trendy. “If you feel good, you’ll do good. When I wear an outfit that makes me feel amazing, it adds a pep in my step,” Angela said. She chose her boutique name because she believes everyone can have a little wild in them, but a whole lot of grace too.
That confidence comes through in the fall look she chose. “Depending on how you style it and the shoes you pair it with, this is an outfit you can wear to work or an evening event,” she explained.
The Look: Avocado green sleeveless sweater top and cream with black velvet polka dot skirt paired with tan suede Corky’s boots and a gold heart necklace.
