34 FRONTDOORS MEDIA | APRIL 2 020 I was then introduced to Sequin, Courtney’s magnificent, multi-award-winning Arabian horse. I am not an equestrian, but this beautiful horse stunned me into silence. As Courtney began to tell Sequin’s story, I was struck by this horse’s regal stature and composure. It’s clear that Courtney and Sequin share a special bond. Of course, bling is part of Sequin’s life and her favorite bling includes lots of bedazzled halters and saddles. As Courtney and I sat down to chat, Ferrari hopped on her mom’s lap while Courtney shared when her love of fashion began. As a child, Courtney enjoyed dressing up the family pets and that love of “dressing up” continues today with Sequin, Ferrari and Porsche. Porsche is another French bulldog and, like Ferrari, she is darling. Courtney showed me a few of her dogs’ little dresses, each with a matching collar. Courtney is a community leader with an incredible sense of style. Her philanthropic work is extensive, and she has a deep love for the community. Naturally, her favorite fashion brand is Gucci because of its many equestrian details, including the famous horsebit clasp. Courtney’s go-to look is sleek and chic black attire, paired with a classic black boot and bag. This particular day, she was carrying a Dior saddlebag, which looked phenomenal. As I drove away and watched Courtney waving in my rearview mirror, I realized that Lee Courtney is one class act. Her warmth, personality and trademark smile make her one of our favorite women in Arizona. STYLE UNLOCKED CONTINUED McKenna Wesley CONTRIBUTING WRITER @thebubblyblonde
