Wear It: You Gonna Fly

Keith Urban came out with a new video this week, You Gonna Fly. It’s a concert montage type of video, which I always enjoy, specifically from Keith Urban. I’ll tell you why… I’ve been to a Keith Urban concert and he puts on the best. concert. ever. If you weren’t a fan going into the concert, you will be coming out. He generally likes to throw caution to the wind and walk out into the crowd and just play his music with all that energy around him. Here check out the video:

So let’s get talking about Keith Urban’s style. It’s super casual, always jeans and t-shirts. Here’s how I’d formulate a Langston’s style Keith Urban outfit. You can obviously change up the color tee and color of the boot, but I’d definitely say this is Keith’s “uniform”.

Men’s Dickies Short Sleeve Solid Performance Henley
Rock and Roll Cowboy Men’s Slim Fit Boot Cut Pistol Jeans with Heavy Stitching
Dingo Men’s Dean 11″ Harness Boots – Black

So what do you think? Would you rock this look?

The Perfect Fit

I read an article in the Feb issue of Lucky Magazine about finding jeans with the perfect fit. Their tips were too perfect not to share with you guys.

Know your body type. If you are thick around the middle, try a trouser jean. Pear shaped? Try Boot Cut.

Don’t take “boyfriend” too literally. The main point here was that yes, they should be loose and comfy, but not sloppy. They still need to fit you.

Take color into account. Dark is slimming. Look at the wash and the location of the fading and ticking.

Don’t go too low. This tip was interesting to me. It said that anything lower than 3 inches below your navel and you will create a muffin top on just about anyone.

Buy them a bit tight. All jeans stretch a little – even true fit ones.

And when you find the perfect pair…BUY TWO! I know this all too well. My favorite pair has been discontinued and I mourn their loss weekly!

For the full article, check out this month’s issue of Lucky Magazine.

Speaking of the loss of my favorite jean, I have been in an all out search to replace them. I was looking for a low rise, easy fit, slight boot cut. I want them for weekend wear with flats and my favorite converse sneakers.Last week I tried out the Southside Charlie Baby Boot.

First off, I love the feel of these. They are soft and on the thinner side. Not too thin, just a bit more soft and moveable than a rigid denim. The baby boot is perfect for flats and tennis shoes. So far so good. I still miss my favorite pair, but these might slide into place as my new go to casual weekend wear jean.

Ok, so I jumped the gun last week on the whole Tim McGraw album coming out today, it’s not coming out til next week. But we do have some singles that have been coming out teasing us. And they are definitely teasing us. I told you a little bit about this album at the beginning of the month.  Here are the releases so far:

Felt Good On My Lips
Better Than I Used to Be
Right Back Atcha Babe
The One that Got Away

I’m so looking forward to a brand new album from Tim McGraw, he’s definitely one of my favorites. If you haven’t seen him in concert before, you TOTALLY should. It will be one of the best concerts you’ll go to. There are just certain songs when sung in concert that will just give you goosebumps and you’ll remember for ever and Tim McGraw performs a few of those.

See you back here next week for my take on the new releases coming out next week!

I do my own stunts…

Last week my 5 year old son had a friend over. Two boys running out of control in our home. Playing tag was the hit of the day, well, that and basketball on our Nerf hoop. I can’t tell you the number of times I heard “ouch”…but neither needed any major care, not even minor care. Those kids are tough. And I think they both need this Cinch Boy’s Tee.

I’ve wondered if girls are easier than boys…but then I remember girl’s are filled with sas!

Cowgirl Justice Tee

While browsing the girl’s tees, I saw this one. Anyone out there from Shawnee, OK? You need this tee by Cruel Girl.

Wear It: Baggage Claim

Did y’all catch this performance of Miranda Lambert’s Baggage Claim at the 2011 CMA Awards? It’s now become her official video for Baggage Claim. Miranda always has fun outfits and I think she looks great in black…go check it out.

I love the black outfit with those pops of silver she has in her wide belt and jacket. And you know what they always say ladies…black is very slimming! This is how I’d go about putting together a black and silver outfit, Langston’s style.

Witness Women’s Long Sleeve Layering Burn Out T-Shirt – Black (Closeout)
Cindy Smith Women’s Rhinestone Cross Ring (Closeout)
Levi’s ® 524 ™ Women’s Skinny Jeans – Black Pressed (Discontinued)
Corral Women’s Cowboy Boots with Silver Star Underlay – Black

So that’s how I’d do a silver and black outfit. Those boots are a MUST and you can either add a silver belt like Miranda or a big chunky necklace, or bracelet or like we’ve selected a big ring. In the words of Miranda Lambert’s Baggage Claim, come and get it!

Let us know if you have a favorite outfit you want us to recreate!!

Best of George Strait

Ok folks, no new music this week, but there’s definitely some new stuff next week and by some BIG NAMES *cough* TIM MCGRAW *cough*. Speaking of BIG NAMES, I have a little treat for you today. If you don’t have a collection of George Strait albums or are trying to figure out where to start, this album is IT. Best of George Strait features every single George Strait song you should familiarize yourself with. However, this album does only have 11 of his 600+ songs you can find on iTunes. So in addition to Best of George Strait, these are a few more that I’d download individually: Run, Carrying Your Love With Me, You Look So Good in Love, and my all time favorite George Strait song EVER Marina Del Rey.

What are y’all listening to right now? What are your favorite albums to listen to over and over again?

I’m definitely looking forward to next week’s new releases!!

Ali to host Texas Awards Show

Our friend Ali Dee is hosting the 2nd Annual Texas Regional Radio and Music Awards on March 25th.  Congrats Ali! I know we will all be watching! And I can’t wait to see what you wear!!! All award shows need a good after party with a fun dress. I think this Panhandle Slim dress would look great on Ali.

I think it is sometimes nice to leave a low neckline alone and keep the jewelry on the ears  or wrists instead. I think this Cindy Smith Cuff and Cindy Smith Ring would work perfectly with the dress.
