Luxury designers such as Louis Vuitton and Schiaparelli debuted collections with western-inspired designs earlier this year. Gap also dropped a western-inspired collection with Dapper Dan in February.
When did the western trend get so popular? It’s not exactly new, especially if you’re from Texas or states like Montana, Wyoming, Tennessee and parts of California. While it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what drove the current cowboy craze, the last few years have seen a slow climb towards country clothing. Take Yellowstone, for example. The hit series inspired viewers to shop for cowboy boots, cowboy hats and other ranch wear, and while it doesn’t look like we’ll be back at Dutton Ranch anytime soon, the craving for western gear lives on. In fact, the cowboy hat trend is just heating up – and we can thank Beyoncé for sparking even more interest in cowboy looks.

A 352-page hardcover, Brothers and Sisters: The Allman Brothers Band delves into history of one of the rock band’s most celebrated albums: Brothers and Sisters. The book also offers insight into the band’s rise and the influence that historic events had on them, including former President Jimmy Carter’s presidential campaign, Gregg Allman’s marriage to Cher, and the Summer Jam at Watkins Glen. The book is based on never-before-heard interviews with those close to the band — and Betts and Allman themselves — conducted by Allman Brothers Band archivist, photographer, and “Tour Mystic” Kirk West, according to the book’s official description.

Lana Del Rey took over the first weekend of Coachella — even reuniting with Billie Eilish for an unforgettable duet of “Ocean Eyes” and “Video Games” — and she’s back for Weekend 2. The singer’s performance at one of the biggest festivals and tours of the year seems to have left fans clamoring for more from the artist — so much so, that her book of poems, Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass, has returned to the bestsellers charts, earning a No. 3 spot as of this writing on Amazon’s rock books chart (just behind the new Beatles book).

Within Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass, you can expect more than 30 poems penned by the artist and printed on her classic typewritten manuscript pages. Alongside the text will also be original photography taken by the star. The book of poems were originally released in 2020 and was nominated as a Goodreads Choice nominee. Amazon reviewers have even given the book a 4.8 star rating (out of five) with more than 10,000 reviews.
“Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass is the title poem of the book and the first poem I wrote of many,” Rey says, in the official description for the poetry book. “Some of which came to me in their entirety, which I dictated and then typed out, and some that I worked laboriously picking apart each word to make the perfect poem. They are eclectic and honest and not trying to be anything other than what they are and for that reason I’m proud of them, especially because the spirit in which they were written was very authentic.”
Is Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass Age Appropriate?
A note: The poetry book deals with themes of love, fame, trust and the American dream, with areas of melancholy touched on as well. Target recommends the book for people ages 22 and older, but according to Goodreads readers, the book would be okay for readers as young as high school age.
