Mommy's little helper.
Maybe it's the Texan in me, but I just couldn't help myself when I saw these root-tootin' cowboy and cowgirl get ups by Wovenplay ($150 and $130). For the kiddo that likes to play dress up (and most of them do), these are the finest in rodeo wear. Dress your tots up and let their imaginations run wild. Maybe they're driving the cattle out West or leading a pack of city slickers through the Read more
For her Fall 2012 collection, Isabel Marant mixed her signature bohemian-cool style with a splash of the Wild West. Specifically, it was the late 19th century cowgirls that inspired Marant: "I love the way they were wearing very masculine trousers to ride horses with lace shirts," said Marant. That said, the designer mixed feminine pieces with tougher elements by pairing a bevy of cowgirl shirts Read more
A month-long sojourn to Bhutan and Nepal seemed to seep into every detail of Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough's incarnation of Fall's It-girl style. Most evident from their travels? The theme of protection, as seen in overpowering woven leather jackets, strong patchwork, and voluminous structured shapes, took hold in both the realm of outerwear and into the more slouched Far Read more
Nancy Sinatra's epic "Bang Bang," set the mood for Nicholas Kunz's Fall Nicholas K collection. Inspired by the Taos artists in the '20s and '30s, Kunz imagined a line bursting with Western influence — we loved all of the cool Stetson-inspired hats — and a dash of deco. Fringe was heavily prevalent, making its way onto geometric leather jackets, sheer crochet dresses, and for a vintage touch, Read more
True Grit This update of the classic 1960s Western scored 10 Oscar nominations, including one for its young breakout star, Hailee Steinfeld. Steinfeld plays Mattie Ross, a 14-year-old girl who hires a reluctant U.S. marshal, Rooster Cogburn (Jeff Bridges), to track down the man who killed her father. She's also aided by a Texas Ranger, played by Matt Damon. I enjoyed the Coen brothers' Read more
Cameron Diaz was decked out in her Western wear this morning to continue filming Gambit in London with her leading man Colin Firth. We had a glimpse of Cameron Diaz's long legs on set just a few days ago, but this time she was showing considerably less skin in a long pair of jeans. Cameron has been abroad working on the Coen brothers-penned project for the last few weeks. Colin, though, popped up Read more

I don't remember when I first learned women were once second-class citizens, but I grew up believing it was a thing of the past. In school, girls were better behaved, more organized, and better students, and I never felt limited in any way by being female. I also just happened to be drawn to traditional girly things: dancing, cheerleading, and majoring in English. Some would probably say I was a Read more
We are excited to share one of our fave stories from Shape here on FitSugar. Hatha Yoga Origin: Introduced in 15th-century India by Hindu sage, Yogi Swatmarama, Hatha poses — Downward Facing Dog, Cobra, Eagle, and Wheel, for example — make up most yoga sequences practiced today. Philosophy: The goal of Hatha yoga is to bridge the body and mind with the breath in a series of physical poses Read more
A wild, wild Western-meets-Victorian world was the name of the game at Dsquared2. Fantastical and whimsical with full-length fur and leather, the Fall '11 looks take the most wearable of fabrics — leather, denim, plaid — and deliver theatrics in the form of Western-styled head-to-toe looks. No look was complete without a wide-brimmed hat or pair of gloves, a fur collar, or a leather Read more
