The vibes shifted this week to The Great American West. Inspired by Beyonce's pivot to country, we go through the various reasons cowboy fashion simply won't go away.

To round things out, we discuss some Kevin Murphy hair products, the viral caviar martini, Lorde's $170 water bottle, hotel robes, bogcore, and more.
