Yes the cowboy aesthetic is everywhere right now, but I’m going to share some Western inspired things I’ve come across lately.
Cowboy Take Me Away, boygenius cover
I hope he doesn’t mind me sharing this but my brother went through a deep Dixie Chicks (The Chicks) phase when we were in like 5th and 3rd grades. We listened to Cowboy Take Me Away a lot in the car, so when I heard this boygenius version recently it made smile. I thought this cover was so good and even better than when we’d listen to it in the car when we were kids.
Chalo Boots
These were a recommendation from my favorite podcast and although I don’t own a pair yet, when I’m ready to pull the trigger on some cowboy boots I will be buying these from Chalo. They have a small assortment of styles in limited colors and are originally an Indian brand!
Mojave Flea + Goodies
A few years ago I came across Mojave Flea in Palm Springs and now it’s a must stop whenever we are down there. The store is a huge space that carries independent brands that have a very western, desert aesthetics.
Last time we were there I picked these bandana pants off the hanger and now wish I had tried them on.
Then, in an email from them a few weeks ago they featured these silk bows. How pretty are they? I’m setting a reminder in my phone to check back on 6/10 once they are back in stock.
Ps. If you’re in San Francisco, they have a sister store called Fog City Flea in the Ferry Building!
Last Chance Textiles
Beyond this year’s western trend, I’ve also decided that 2024 is the year of cotton/silk scarves. After coming across Last Chance Textiles, I want to put western themed scarves into my rotation. I have this cotton one in my cart, thinking about this embroidered one, and wondering if I need a slider to complete the look. Oh and I’ll definitely be using their oh so useful how to wear section!
Just so everyone knows I counted Mojave Flea + Goodies as separate finds so everything still tallies up to at least 5 for this week :) I’m forecasting a random bits & bobs newsletter next week, so see you then!
