But What I Really Want To Do

Another one of our favorite bloggers, Kate from But What I Really Want To Do, stopped by to share her picks from our current selection…

My friends at Langston’s asked me to take a peek at their site and pick some of the things I’d like to make my own.  Along with an extensive selection of denim (so many Levi’s!), the site offers a lot more.  Here are my favorites at the moment.
 
I have fully embraced the plaid that I so despised growing up (school uniforms, you know).  This adorable dress woud be great with leggings or tights and boots!  The perfect winter uniform!
I love my boyfriend jeans and would love to get my hands on a new pair.  These would work perfectly with this plaid shirt and cute flats for day and maybe some sequins and heels for night!
And with visions of spring dancing in my head (the weather in California has been amazing lately), I pick this dress to pair with the most stylish of cowboy boots. 
Thank you to Kate for stopping by to share her picks. Please check out her blog, But What I Really Want To Do, for more fashion advice, tips and picks.

Albums I Love: Life of the Party

langston albums i love robison
I am apparently on a “Texas Country” kick with you guys lately on this series! My second album to feature here is by Charlie Robison. This album definitely put him on the map in my opinion. I love his song writing, story telling and humor. Definitely check out My Hometown, You’re Not the Best, and Loving County from this album. They are can’t miss, I promise!

Life of the Party, Charlie Robison

A Place to Share

One of our favorite bloggers, Torrie from A Place to Share, stopped by to show us a few of her favorite items from the site….

I wouldn’t exactly consider myself a city girl.  I was born and raised in southern California, in a small, quaint town just outside of Pasadena.  On the other hand, I’m not exactly a country gal either… well, geographically speaking, that is.  But ever since I was a little girl, I’ve felt a strong connection to all that is southern. I have day dreams of early morning sunrises, rolling hills, big blue skies, bright green grass, and old country roads.  Aside from nature, I am captivated by the essence of southern charm, hospitality, and pride- reflected in its music, food (ohhh, don’t get me started about the food!), people- its lifestyle.  Maybe it’s an inner need to slow down.  To celebrate life and each other.

Despite my self-proclaimed southern-at-heart roots, I have yet to delve into “country attire.”  I’ve avoided it in fear of being a bit out of place or overly stand-outish (not that this is an actual word, but you get the point).  When I stop to think about it, this really makes no sense.  It’s one of those “it looks great on others, but not on me”– nonsense.  And really, you can pretty much wear anything ‘in LA’, and get away with it!

That said, if I were to add a little southern flare to my life [or closet], here’s where I’d start…

Rock and Roll Cowgirl Women’s Low Rise Boot Cut Jeans with Pocket Flaps (I’m very excited to see a spring comeback of flare and wide leg jeans.)

Ariat Heritage Western Boots – Vintage Caramel (love the narrow tips and slightly higher heels)

Panhandle Slim Women’s Cap Sleeve Peasant Blouse with Lace Trim – White (a spring and summer essential… and a great layering piece for fall/winter)

Rockies Women’s Western Long Sleeve Print Snap Shirt – Rose Magenta (the color, the fit, the pockets, the polka-dots- sexy and cute)

Thanks Torrie for sharing your picks with us!
