WORDS ALMA VERDEJO
YEEHAW | Texas has long been held as the only country—er, state—to elicit a

sight to behold. Since there isn’t a formal list of quintessential items all Texans
should own, we’ve compiled the next best thing. Y’all enjoy.

BUCKLE UP
Texas Shape Belt
Buckle [$20]
Every true Texan—or
wannabe Texan—must sport
a belt buckle. This one
envelops the Texas
feel. Showcasing
the Texas state as
well as cowboys, oil,
cattle and armadillos
in a collage worthy
of framing, this buckle
is made of pewter and is
about 3 inches wide and 2½
inches high—just the right Texas size.

LADY IN BLUE
Bluebonnet Plant [$20]
Every state flower has a history, but how many states
have five state flowers? Texas is the only one to have
an extensive history of the native bluebonnet, which
also comes in red and pink. The flowers bloom in
the spring and can be seen flourishing on the roads,
causing many Texans to stop and smell the
bluebonnets. buchanansplants.com

TEXAS TWO STEP
Black Deer Tan Boots [$240]
Once restricted to cowboys, boots
have become a fashion statement
through the decades. But they’re still
associated with the Texas mystique.
These black boots are made from
soft deer skin and boast a classic
mini box toe. They’re ready-made for
wranglin’ some horses or cuttin’ a
rug. starboots.net
