Wear It: Borrowed

Leann Rimes’ latest video is from her upcoming very personal album Spitfire and it’s called Borrowed. The whole video is shot from the recording studio session and I’m loving her casual easy look. Let’s check it out.

Now, I know we can’t see if this is a full on dress that she is wearing or a long tunic she has belted but I think it would honestly look cute either way. I’m going to go with the tunic and jeans look today. What’s important in terms of getting Leann’s look is to belt the flowy top and then accent it with a long necklace as well. I’d pair it with some light jeans and these fantastic cut out short boots.

Adiktd Women’s Jersey Tank Top with Beading – Cream
Rock & Roll Cowgirl Women’s Low Rise Boot Cut Jeans with Hand Stitched Embroidery
Ariat Women’s 9″ Paloma Cowgirl Boots – Oak Barrel
Lucky Brand Women’s Woodland Cutout Belt
Kender West Women’s Two Strand Turquoise Stone Necklace with Copper Insets

The great thing about this outfit is that if you get cold you can throw on a shawl or cardigan over all these pieces and it will enhance the look even more. Try it out!

Wear It: Blackbird

Everybody is a fan of this song right? First you need to check out Sarah Darling’s countrified version. While you are tuned in, check out some of her outfits in this video. Super cute!!

All of them are cute, am I right? I decided to do a little combo of the two casual outfits. I’m loving the stripes she’s wearing. And I’m also loving that huge flower ring she’s wearing in her other casual outfit. So it’s our first Langston’s mashup!!

Derek Heart Women’s Navy Stripe Tee Shirt
Ariat Women’s Double Trouble Boyfriend Jeans
Kender West Women’s Rose Ring with Crystals – Pink/Red

Let me just tell you something about that Derek Heart tee…the shape and swing to it are FABULOUS. I’d put a tight fitting tank underneath and let the tee swing. I’d put a pair of flip-flops with this outfit for sure and you should go check out our Justin line of flip flops, just take your pick.

So tell me, would you Wear It?

Wear It: Tough

Today I’m going to be setting you up with Kellie Pickler’s outfit in her latest video “Tough”. Y’all this is a very basic outfit, but I gotta tell you, there aint nothing sexier than a white tank, jeans and boots. Check it out:

So what did I tell you? I mean hotcha hotcha right? Basically Kellie has on a basic white tank with several long necklaces, distressed jeans and boots. So here’s how I would put this outfit together Langston’s style:

Miss Me Women’s Knit Burnout Split Strap Racer Back Tank Top – White This top gives you the same effect but because it has the embellishment on it already, you won’t need as many necklaces as Kellie has on.
Kender West Women’s Pink Crystal Stone Necklace with Cross
Cowgirl Tuff Women’s Ain’t My Day To Care Jeans
Women’s Corral Boots with Rose Embroidery & Sequin Horseshoes I can’t tell you what her boots are, but I’m going to pick out a pair that I think go with the entire theme of the outfit/video. These Corral boots are feminine yet still “tough”.

Now that I’ve helped you, somebody give me Kellie Pickler’s food and exercise routine please!

Did you guys watch Texas Women this summer? You know we did around here and we recapped it weekly. We loved all the girls…still do! We are hoping to see them back for a second season. We especially loved Ali Dee and her great style (and rocking music!)

We asked Ali to do a bit of browsing around our site, and to pick out a few of her favorite things. She picked 2 amazing outfits, and the best part…we are giving away those items to you guys! We have 4 days of giveaways this week!!! Each day I will post a couple of items and each day you can comment on that post to be entered to win one of those items. We will have some “extra entry” opportunities as well. Each giveaway will be open for 1 week.

Wear It: You & Tequila

Kenny Chesney’s duet with Grace Potter, You & Tequila is in heavy rotation on my iPod. I’ve always been a huge Kenny Chesney fan but now with this duet I’m a Grace Potter and the Nocturnals fan as well. I just love her voice. She wears a multitude of outfits in this video, but I love the one that she wears where they feature her singing. Check it out:

I love the flowy dress with the structured jacket and the tall boots. She’s accessorized with a belt and a long necklace. Here’s how I would do it Langston’s style:

Stetson Women’s Long Sleeve Dress – Cream
Levi’s ® Women’s Trucker Jacket – Blue Thunder
Kender West Women’s Chain Necklace with Five Cross Charm Dangle
Iron Horse Women’s Lady Rodeo Belt with Buckle – Brown
Corral Women’s Vintage Deer Knee High Cowboy Boots – Cognac

So what do you think? Is that your favorite outfit of the video or is there another you’d like to see us create for you? Tell us!!

Mother’s Day

Have you started shopping for Mom yet? I don’t know many moms who don’t love jewelry.

The earrings by Kender West have a black  maltese “chopper” cross under a silver cross, finished with a crystal detail. The layers give these added depth and interest. The bracelet, also by Kender West, is Hematite iron. Did you know they have seen Hematite on Mars? I guess that means you could tell your mom that this bracelet is “out of this world!”

The Adra Natural Stone necklace has three strands of  natural stone beads finished with a cross. The neutral color makes it easy to pair with any look and perfect for Spring and Summer. The Western Charm necklace shown in above is the Topaz color, but we also carry it in Silver tones. Which one matches your mom’s look the best?
