Haunted Store

Did you guys know that our flagship store in the Oklahoma City Stockyards is haunted!?!?!

As the story goes, back in the days before we occupied the space, there was a dance hall in the building. Legend has it that two women, Rose and Patty worked in the dance hall. Patty was shot by a jealous lover on the first floor, and Rose, who was overcome with grief, hung herself upstairs.

According to reports, the upstairs area has left many an employee with feelings of unrest and dread. There have been cases of the lights turning off and on by themselves and and a “presence” seems to be always up there. HauntedHouses.com even recounts an employee being shoved down the stairs by a paranormal being.

What do you think? A bit of Halloween fun, or a truly haunted building? Lucky for me the Internet department is housed at a different location. Legend or not, I see no need to take any chances!!

Up this week is Debbie with a great outfit. I know you shop us for jeans, but have you ever checked out our dresses? This outfit is all about the dress. This Wrangler Women’s Rock 47 V-Neck Dresscan be worn so many different ways. Debbie pairs it with boots, Women’s Ariat Heritage Western Boots – Vintage Caramel, for a great Fall look. In the summer, it could easily pair with some sandals. Want to wear it into the Spring, try adding a cardigan over it. For winter add some tights, or even try it over some jeggings. The v-neck cut of this dress allows this Cindy Smith Women’s Dark Silver Tone Three Strand Necklace and Earring Set to shine.

When asked about this outfit, Debbie said “I love this dress. Seriously, I have no words!” I love it when people get excited about clothes. Yes, it is what is on the inside that counts, but that is no reason not to have fun with what is on the outside too!! Debbie lists these boots as her favorites and thinks they pair well with the dress. I agree! She picked the necklace for the same reason I liked it with this dress. The neckline allows the necklace to stand out.

Thanks Debbie!

Wear It: Give

LeAnn Rimes has a new video out called “Give”. It’s a powerful ballad with a powerful message. LeAnn’s outfit is very soft and subtle, allowing the message of the song to shine through. This outfit also looks decidedly COMFORTABLE y’all! Check it out:

I’m sorta in love with this outfit now even thought it’s muted greys and tans. Here’s how I’d do it Langston’s style:

Petrol Women’s Afternoon Tea Top – Grey
Southern Thread Women’s Bobbie Skinny Fit Stretch Jeans
Minnetonka Moccasins – Women’s Calf Hi Tan Suede Fringe Boots
Cindy Smith Women’s 3 Strand Turquoise Necklace and Earring Set

Honestly, I want to put all these items in my cart right now and hit CHECKOUT. The top is flowy and forgiving and those moccasins you know have got to be like wearing slippers all day but you will look so darn cute doing it!

What do y’all think? Will you be rocking this look of LeAnn’s? Tell us! We want to know!

Cozy Sweaters

I am in love with these new Pendelton sweaters that we just put up on the site. I think they are the quintessential winter item. I know these are men’s sweaters…and wow, they really do make a man look like he just came in from chopping down fire wood at the cabin in the snow…and I mean that in a good way.  Here, look….

But I think this sweater does double duty. The man of the house can wear it one day…and then you can steal it the next. And really, who doesn’t love to steal the man’s cozy sweaters?

Shown in this post is the Pendleton Men’s Shetland Fair Isle Snowflake Sweater. Our entire Pendelton Collection contains more sweaters, several shirts and a great jacket.  The women’s look pairs the Pendelton sweater with Dan Post Women’s Taylor 12″ Cowboy Boots – Black, Levi’s ® 535 ™ Denim Legging – Shooting Star and Derek Heart Women’s Raglan Long Sleeve Thermal Shirt.

We’ve got two new releases this week by some BIG names!

First up, Vince Gill’s Guitar Slinger. Vince wrote or co-wrote every song on the album. Amy Grant even duets with him on the album which was recorded in their home studio.

These are my top picks from this album: Threaten Me With Heaven, Who Wouldn’t Fall In Love With You, True Love.

Second, we have Toby Keith’s Clancy’s Tavern. This is Keith’s 15th album and he wrote or cowrote 10 of the 11 songs on the album. There is definitely something for everyone on this album and for any mood you may be in. Uptempo fun songs along with slow thoughtful tunes.

These are my top picks from this album: Just Another Sundown, I Won’t Let You Down, Beers Ago.

Did you pick either of these albums up? What is your favorite release lately? Favorite song? Tell us! We want to know! I’ll go first, Martina McBride’s Whatcha Gonna Do has been on repeat for me since last week, however it may get bumped for Vince Gill’s True Love. Your turn!

October Pink

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and it is traditionally marked with pink. I would be remiss if I let the month pass without posting a round up of pink.

For a full pink search, here were my results. But as far as a few pics to highlight….

Cruel Girl Girl’s Long Sleeve Zebra Print Snap Shirt Could this be any cuter? I love this pink and black zebra print button down….and I think most girls would too.

Cruel Girl Women’s Solid Button Down Shirt – Pink

Cruel Girl Girl’s Vest with Rhinestone Snaps – Pink I am loving this. Someone please buy it for their daughter and then post a pic on Facebook. I love this!

Ferrini Girls Stingray Print Boots with Tiger Design – Pink

I hope you will wear pink this month and take time to learn more about Breast Cancer.

Up this week with an outfit pick is Christy.

Let’s start at the top….Christy picked this Cindy Smith Women’s 3 Strand Turquoise Necklace and Earring Set. This matching turquoise necklace and earring set features a three strand turquoise necklace as well as matching earrings. Christy said, ” I love the necklace because of the three different strands, the texture and the turquoise stone brings it all together.” This set works well paired with a button down, like the Roper Women’s Long Sleeve Paisley Print Snap Shirt that Christy picked, but it also works with solid knits or basic cotton. It’s very versatile.

Christy paired the button down with these Levi’s ® Juniors 524 ™ Boot Cut Jeans. I also think it would be great with some black pants or jeans.  She said, ” I picked this shirt because of the ocean blue color and the warm tone paisley print. The jeans are very comfortable and the dark blue compliments the ocean blue in the shirt. ”

As for boots, Christy went with Ariat, the Women’s Legend Boots. About the boots she said, ” I picked the boots because of the color which brings out the brown in the shirt. ”

Thanks for a great pick Christy!

New Brands

A couple new brands went up this week that really caught my eye.

This Jody Women’s V-Neck Distressed T-Shirt comes in both red and gray. I really can’t decide which I like best, but I LOVE the stud accents on the shoulder.

This short sleeve tee by Witness is long enough to rock with jeggings or leggings and it has pockets on the side. It is everything I want in a comfy weekend tee.

Need a new work look? This Cowl Neck Burn Out T-Shirt by Witness could easily work with black pants and a jacket for work, or rock it with jeans and boots for a casual weekend look.

There are tons more new items on the site right now. A Barn Fly Purple Button Down Shirt, Velvet Stone Cross Tee, the perfect Allison Brittney lace tank and so much more.
