This year, as we celebrated our 25th anniversary, we invited you to experience the vision of Sundance first hand. We offered prizes to five lucky winners, three Grand Prizes, one Second Prize and one Third Prize.

Buddy, a yellow lab, enjoying his view of the snow

Congratulations to Buddy, our Sundance Dog of December!

We received Buddy’s photos and read his story, and we were immediately drawn to his playful, adventurous spirit. Here is the heartwarming story we would like to share from Buddy’s family:

Complete a holiday tree with hand-blown Egyptian ornaments

Setting up a decorated tree at the top of a mountain isn't as easy as it looks...

One fact of which you may not be aware: we shoot ahead of season - fall in the spring, spring in the fall. The Holiday book is shot from May to June. It is always something I have to plan for, making the season seem believable. Fortunately, at high elevations (knock-on-wood) the snow remains late in the season, perfect for the festive feeling we need.

Rizzo makes it look easy, relaxing while shooting the Holiday catalog

As the weather becomes colder and the end of the year draws near, we prepare for another festive holiday season.

This month, we would like to introduce you to our good friend, Rizzo. She is one of our featured canine models. You can see Rizzo in this year's Holiday catalog, as well as on the website. Rizzo is a lot of fun, and she was a joy to have at the shoot.

Ankle Boots from Sundance

How to Wear Your Ankle Boots

Whether you call them booties or ankle boots, we love everything about this fall favorite. It’s a special family of footwear, sitting at a height that falls between the mid-calf boot and the shootie (which dips below the ankle). The appeal of the booties are their versatile design - they can take your independent sense of style and run with it straight through the season.

Fall's changing leaves, the brilliant hues of the aspen trees

Fall is one of our favorite times of the year. The air is crisp; the leaves of the aspen trees turn to beautiful hues of orange, red and yellow; the morning fog sits dreamily on the mountain peaks. It’s also the perfect time to get out and enjoy the scenery while hiking, fishing or mountain biking.

Finnegan, Sundance Dog of the Month

Congratulations to Finnegan, the Sundance Dog of October!

When we read Finnegan's story and saw the pictures of this adorable guy, we could not resist. Here is a little more about him as told by his family:

This video is the first in our series of helpful tips and how-tos. We hope to share our expertise with you and offer some guidance for incorporating the Sundance style into your life.

25th Anniversary Heritage Jewelry Collection

One of our passions at Sundance is sharing with you the riches of cultural traditions, particularly those related to the American West. We are thrilled to offer an extraordinary selection of Native American heritage jewelry in our 25th Anniversary Collection — nearly three dozen cuffs, necklaces and money clips, each exquisite and unique.

For Sundance, dogs are an integral part of our organization. Our offices are dog friendly, and we love to see them sniffing around the halls or curled up under a desk. We regularly feature the dogs of Sundance in catalogs, so if you remember seeing them grace the pages in the past, you now know those are Sundance family dogs.

Handcrafted Heritage - The Authentic Boot Collection

Photo by Jaka Vinsek Group shot underneath Delicate Arch, a 65-foot tall freestanding natural arch, one of the many highlights in Arches National Park. This 45-minute hike doesn’t disappoint. I won’t get into where our photo assistant had to climb for this shot...

Our Creative Director waxes poetically about the 25th Anniversary Fall Catalog shoot

“You are SOOOOO lucky - you get to travel to the most unbelievable places...” As the Creative Director at Sundance, I hear this a lot. Well. I can’t really argue with the sentiment. Sure, going on location for photo shoots is hard work, but I get to travel to Colorado, California, Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, Mexico... and most recently, Sundance’s backyard - Utah - it could be worse.
