What did yall watch last week? I’m obvs all over the new Texas Women episodes, it’s sort of an addiction at this point…what will those crazy ladies be saying and wearing, they’ve definitely got me tuned in.  I’m also a sucker for the Behind the Videos that GAC airs.

Pool Party

I seem to be up before the CMT peeps, they haven’t posted any pics from last night’s episode of Texas Women yet on their site. Never fear, even without the pics from the show, I can help you get that Texas Women look!

Fashion wise, our girl Ali Dee was of course the one to watch since she was doing a photo shoot for her upcoming CD. Hannah did a great job styling her. When that girl wants to be productive, she totally can be. But when she doesn’t…well, matches as Tikki Torches? That was weak. Anyway, back to fashion.

For the photo shoot Ali had 2 looks. One was a western snap shirt inspired dress with almost a bubble skirt on it. Very sweet and country and perfect. She paired it with low boots. To create a similar look on your own, try either the Dingo Women’s Twisted Sister 7″ Belted Boot or the Dingo Women’s Adobe Rose 7″ Boots with Side Zipper.

In this episode Ali also tried to barrel race. Brooke was a very sweet and supportive teacher. I think she could have pushed Ali even further. Looks like under her guidance they could have tried a jog verses just walking. It was hard to get a good look, but I think Ali was wearing jeans with a detailed flap pocket. My pick are these Rock and Roll Cowgirl Women’s Low Rise Boot Cut Jeans with Rhinestone Flaps.

At the pool party Anna rocked a mini similar to this Rock and Roll Cowgirl Women’s Denim Mini Skirt with Rhinestones and Pocket Flaps.

Fashion wise that kind of sums up the episode. We carry a wide variety of items, but swim wear isn’t among them. I do think Anna’s camo/floral bikini was great. It totally fits her personality.  Overall it was a sweet episode. Brooke was a doll teaching Ali to race, Hannah was sweet helping out for the party – well, not at first, but in the end she was. Anna was a sweet hostess and Ali was sweet bringing the girls a Slip in Slide as a housewarming gift. Everyone was sweet and nice this week. No major drama.

Ooops, I almost forgot the best scene….when Anna is in the hunting blind and her friend is telling her to be quiet and that “this is why women aren’t allowed in the blinds” and then he knocks over a shell and makes a bunch of noise. LOL. Next time she hunts, Anna needs to rock these Justin Women’s Camouflage Cowboy Boots.

See you guys next week for more Texas Women.

Moody Blues

I am fairly certain no one could have the blues in this Rock and Roll Cowgirl Women’s Cap Sleeve Knit Dress. It is so cheerful and fun. I love that it has just a bit of sparkle to it. Plus it is 100% cotton, so it is easy to care for and easy to wear.

Speaking of a little sparkle…

This Cruel Girl Women’s Short Sleeve Bucking Horse Print with Rhinestones T-shirt is too cute. I am having problems narrowing down my blue picks. There are so many cute ones. Do you guys ever do this on our site? Just pick a color and search for it. It really is kind of fun. Let’s see what else came up in my search…

This Pendleton Men’s Long Sleeve Frontier Plaid Snap Shirt has great colors in it. I think it would look good on anyone and everyone.

Honestly, does it get any cuter than this? This Cinch Boy’s Jersey Knit Hensley Onsie is killing me.

You guys know I can’t do these color posts without some boots…Men’s Justin Punchy 12″ Rawhide Boots – Blue/Dark Brown - don’t forget, these have the J-Flex Flexible Comfort System. You can wear these all day and your feet will feel great.

Oh my…here is the kid’s version, Justin Children’s Cowboy Boots Juniors Stampede Boots. I wonder if my son is ready for these…

 

No one could be moody or blue wearing any of these picks. We are almost to the end of our color series…and ideas for our next series? We did Employee picks and now color. Leave your ideas in the comments. I’d love to know what you want to see on this blog!

Style Watch

A few things in this month’s People Style Watch caught my eye…

Plaid shirts. Tim Gunn recommends them over skinny jeans to avoid a “sloppy” look. I agree, if the shirt is oversized and you are wearing it open over a tank as shown in the mag…skinny jeans is the way to go. But, if you are wearing a more fitted plaid shirt, I think it works over any cut of jean. Check out or collection of long sleeve shirts.

This Brooks and Dunn by Panhandle Slim Long Sleeve Western Plaid Snap Shirt is one of my favs.

The mag also had a blurb about denim on denim. Tim Gunn’s main point was to consider fit…and I agree. But I also think color is a main factor. He was ok with a dark on dark look where as I am not. I think matching denim ends up looking kind of off. I think it is better to have contrast…a light paired with a dark.

I’d pair thisLucky Brand Women’s Long Sleeve Palomino Denim Shirt – Freeway Wash with darker jeans like these Ariat Women’s Turquoise Slim Fit Mid Rise Boot Cut Jeans – Moonshadow.

A Fall look that was featured on Sarah Jessica Parker was skinny jeans with low boots. These Dingo Women’s Adobe Rose 7″ Boots with Side Zipper are available in light or dark brown. Pair them with skinny jeans to recreate the look.

The last look that caught my eye was denim jackets with furry collars and linings. They showed Kate Bosworth rocking one. I’ll pass on the $242 version one they showed in favor of this Dickies Women’s Sherpa Lined Denim Jacket for $54.97.

What do you think? Are these looks headed into your closet for Fall?

New Music: Ali Dee

Have you guys been following along with Deb’s Texas Women recaps? If you haven’t, YOU SHOULD BE! Deb is hooking you up with not only a recap but some apparel suggestions that all the girls have been wearing on the show.

Let’s revisit last week’s episode, specifically Ali Dee.  Ali is the singer of the group and she got her single played on the radio station in last week’s episode and for some reason nobody called in about her song and DUDE it’s a GOOD SONG??! What I’d like to know is, what time of day was this happening that NOBODY called in?? Come ON PEOPLE?! Her song, World’s Gone Crazy, got stuck in my head and I went on the hunt for the single. GIT. ON. MY. IPOD. Amirite?  It looks like according to her blog it should be out in late August. Bummer!

I am not gonna end on a bummer though…you can hear her single tomorrow night and maybe even get to chat with her on 959theranch.com at 7:30p CST (or TEXAS TIME as I like to call it but I can say that because I live in Texas)!!

So you can plan on me updating y’all when the single is available, right here at Langston’s blog!! Until then I will be keeping watch on Ali Dee’s website, Facebook page, and on twitter. What? That’s just normal fan behavior right?

Texas Women

Did you guys watch last night? What did you think? I think miss Hannah needs a J-O-B! At least she was learning to cook, that’s something. But still. Girl needs to get working. I was impressed with Brooke’s barrel racing. Even if she didn’t have a great run, it is always great to see someone working hard at something they love.

Brooke said that you need to wear long sleeve shirts when you race…to keep it classy. Love that line. Here is my suggestion for her next run. She could totally rock this look.

Panhandle Slim Women’s Long Sleeve Zebra Burnout T-Shirt with Fluer de Lis Print. Also avaiable in White.

Anna is quickly becoming my favorite. That girl seems to have her stuff together. She had a few looks last night that were cute, but the one that caught my eye the most was the bright colored western snap shirt she wore at the rodeo. Of course, I can’t find a picture. Sorry. Here is my pick off our site…

Panhandle Slim Retro Women’s Western Long Sleeve Solid Snap Shirt with Floral and Heart Embroidery 

Ali had it rough with no one calling into the radio station about her song, but honestly – I think it is a pretty good song. What do you think? On stage she rocked some jeggings with heels, and at the radio station she paired them with boots. Loved both looks.

Did I mention these Levi’s ® 535 ™ Denim Legging are on sale for $17.99 right now!?!?!??!!??!!?

So what do you think? Will you keep watching this show? I have a hard time stopping mid season once I have started. I get sucked in. What about the show right before it? Sweet Home Alabama? Have you seen that one? Should I be watching it?

This week I moved the color series up to Thursday leaving Friday wide open to recap Texas Women. It is the perfect summer show – entertaing  and not all all taxing on the brain.

Southern Thread Men’s Long Sleeve Stripe Western Snap Shirt – Green

I think this guys is anything but mean. I think he’s lonely and needs a friend? Don’t you? Look at those eyes, I mean really…he just needs to be loved. Somehow, I doubt there is a shortage of women for him to turn to. Anyway, enough babble…more green.

In fact, maybe she is throwing a knowing and sweet glance his way…

Southern Thread Womens Tab Sleeve Plaid Snap Shirt – Green

Maybe I spend too long looking at product images on line and inventing stories to go along with them? Yea – agreed. But their imaginary daughter would totally rock this…

Kid’s Lil Chick Glow in the Dark Necklace – Lime Green
