Wild West

Though I grew up in a smallish town in Utah, I've always been a city girl at heart.  I prefer crowds to wide open spaces and high rise apartments to sprawling ranch houses.  I do, however, find myself frequently drawn to certain elements of western style.  

I'm quite fond of the following items in particular because I think they each, in their own way, manage to combine seemingly contradicting elements - pretty with a wild side or polished with rough edges for example - to form a most pleasing whole.  So here you have 'em, my top picks for vintage gems suited to a city girl looking for some western flair:
