Feathers

I have seen a lot of feathers popping up all over the place. They are such a natural accessory…after all, back in the day they were used as embellishments on clothing and headdresses.

I love these Montana Silversmiths New Classics Hawk Feather Dangle Earrings. They have the detail and beauty of a feather, but are classic and wearable.

Want more feather? Try these Minnetonka Mocs.

Need some bling with your nature? This tank by Panhandle Slim has multicolored rhinestones for added detail.

New Music & George Strait

I’m going to do a different kind of New Music post today. George Strait’s Cowboy Rides Away tour is in full swing and he came through Houston for the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo on Sunday night. Let me tell you, these tickets were hard to come by and we were in the nosebleeds but we were not going to miss his show on his last year of touring. I’ve been going to see George Strait at the rodeo since I was a kid, it just wouldn’t be the same if there were no George Strait at the Houston Rodeo. As you can imagine there are tons of people with the same thing on their mind, 80,000 people actually–setting a new attendance record! As you can imagine there was a lot of walking going on to get through the Reliant Center and Stadium and I decided to wear my Pecos Bill Turquoise boots from Langston’s for the first time. langstons_2255_38416140I thought it was probably nuts to wear some boots I’d never worn before when I knew I was going to be doing a lot of walking, but I went ahead and went with it and thought I’d tough it out. Tough it out I did not because they are THE MOST COMFORTABLE boots I own–just as comfortable as my trusty Luccheses. If you are looking for some CUTE AND COMFORTABLE boots you can not go wrong with these. photo 12I got many compliments on them!! In addition to my Pecos Bill boots, George Strait did not disappoint either performing lots of his oldies but goodies and new stuff also.

In addition to his performance on Sunday, George Strait also announced his upcoming 40th album will be released on May 14th and called Love is Everything. We’ll talk more about that album around that date, I can’t wait!!

Wear It: Buzzkill

Luke Bryan has a video out right now called Buzzkill. I love how casual Luke is in this video, he’s just sitting around playing guitar with a few of his band mates in casual yet sexy attire. You or your man can pull this same look off. Let’s check the video out first…

So don’t you agree that he’s got a great casual outfit going in this video? I actually kinda love that it’s a bit wrinkled and looks like he pulled everything out of the dryer after it’d been sitting for a full day or so. Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about. So here’s how we recreated this look, the Langston’s way…

Rock & Roll Cowboy Men’s Western Long Sleeve Plaid Snap Shirt with Triple Stitching – Blue
Ariat Men’s M4 Low Rise Boot Cut Western Jeans – Gunsmoke
HOOey Men’s “806″ Cap – Black/Red
Justin – Men’s Smooth Quill Ostrich Cowboy Boots with Tekno Crepe Sole – Black

Colored Jeans

In addition to the Wrangler Booty Up Jeans that we carry in a variety of colors, we have added a few Rock and Roll Cowgirl ones to the mix.

The Wrangler Booty Up Jeans are a slim fit, low rise jean. They also feature built-in darts to lift and define your booty. These are great with boots as well as flats or sandals.

langstons_2249_86973537

Rock and Roll Cowgirl has 2 different colored skinny jeans – one with flap pockets and one without. Both are more of a skinny/straight leg. They would still work with coots but will also look great with heels.

Want a pair to wear with boots under them? Try this boot cut colored jean by Rock and Roll Cowgirl.

No matter what style you chose, color or fit – you will be on trend in colored jeans and will wear them a ton, I promise!

 

1st boots

Let’s say one of us has a sister who is looking to buy her first pair of boots…..yes, I know. How is it possible she doesn’t own any right now?? I am sure those of you reading this all own boots, but maybe you have a sister or friend in need of this advice about buying your first pair, so here goes.

1) Are these for fashion or work? If they are really for work and you work on a ranch….this post is probably not for you and these aren’t really your first pair…but if they are, I’d look at the square toe ones that have a bit more girth in the sole. The Fatbaby line by Ariat  or the Gypsy Cowgirl by Justin for example.

2) What do you want to wear them with!?!??! Are you looking to have them under bootcut jeans, over jeggings or both? What about skirts?

If you want to show off the shaft of the boot by wearing them with skirts and/or jeggings….then get boots with a cool one! These Lane Stud Rocker boots are amazing. It would be a shame to hide them under jeans. Same goes for the Ariat Paloma boots. These are screaming to be paired with a white sundress for summer.

If you want the boots for primarily under bootcut jeans, maybe consider a colored boot. These red Old Gringo boots look perfect peaking out from under jeans.

3) What colors do you normally wear? I am a huge fan of all my boots, but my medium brown ones get the most wear. I pair them with white, grey and even black tops. To me they go with everything….almost. My sister has a lot of tops that are colored with black designs and embellishments. For her I would recommend a black boot.

My personal preference lies with snip toe boots. Not too square, not to pointed. However….if I was told to pick my 1 go to women’s boot right now it would be this one, the Ariat Dandy.

It is a bit more pointed than a snip toe, but I love the shape. It is plain enough that it will go with everything, yet the detailed cut outs give it enough interest that you can show it off. I can see it in winter with big cozy sweaters and in summer with dresses. At under $200 this is a great option and one you will wear for years to come.

Wear It: Home to Me

Sarah Darling has a video out right night called Home to Me and I gotta say, I just love her look. She’s got some great outfits, hair and makeup too! And of course a great sound! Let’s check it out!

I love the denim shirt over a dress and tied at the waist look. It’s a very simple look but wins some major cuteness awards from me. Here’s how you can do it the Langston’s way! I picked out a dress that still has some winter colors to it so you can wear this now. Add a denim shirt and some red sassy boots and you are done!

Wear It: Two Black Cadillacs

I’m sure by now you all have seen Carrie Underwood’s Two Black Cadillacs video that came out a couple of weeks ago right? It’s like a little mini movie! In case you haven’t seen it, it gives a little nod to Stephen King’s Christine at the end. And Carrie did in fact get King’s blessing for that! Check it out here and then we’ll discuss the duds she’s wearing.

Pretty awesome right?! I definitely think the video goes great with the song. Let’s talk about how to recreate our own Underwood inspired funeral attire shall we? First what we need are some snazzy boots (high or low boots will work, we just went with these studded ones). check! Next we need a high-low dress line. check! And last we need some sort of floofy neckline. check!

So what do you think? Would you wear it?

Wear It: Tip It On Back

Dierks Bentley’s latest video is called Tip It On Back. He’s sounding and looking better than ever don’t you think? Or if you haven’t seen or heard him lately, let’s have a look shall we?

He’s got such a casual sexy thing going on with both his voice AND his attire. Am I right? So let’s go with the attire for a minute, shall we? All of the men can pull this look off for sure and you probably have some part of this ensemble already, but if not, Langstons can help you complete the outfit. Here’s how!

wear it tip it on back
Powder River Men’s Rockwall Full Zip Performance Jacket – Black
Men’s Dickies Solid Short Sleeve Wicking Pocket Tee Shirt
Levi’s ® Men’s 505 ® Straight Fit Jeans – House Cat
Ariat Men’s Rambler Cowboy Boots – Black Deertan
Ariat Men’s Holden Embossed Western Belt – Black

Dierks also has a necklace he’s sporting in the video. I think that’s what can make the outfit more personal, so go pick one out.

Lucky You

I found myself flipping through the March Lucky Magazine and loving so many of the Spring Trends…

Brights are of course still going strong, as are colored jeans…so thankfully we have plenty of Wrangler Jeans to keep you in style!

langstons_2247_158584649

 

Gold accessories like this Lucky Brand Women’s Gold Tone Openwork Bracelet were all over the issue.

langstons_2247_79574233

They also had a section on jeans and the perfect pair. The Lucky Brand Sofia Bootcut were described as a jean that is contoured and flatters your body. They also pointed out how soft they are. The $119 price they had next to them made me chuckle…how about $79.97?
