Austin's Kendra Scott partners with Wrangler for limited-edition jewelry and apparel

Kendra Scott is doubling down on her Texas roots with the debut of the Wrangler x Yellow Rose by Kendra Scott collection. Just in time for Texas' rodeo season — and for fans of cowgirl chic — the limited-edition lineup includes apparel, a first for the Austin-based jeweler.

Shoppers will find Western-inspired takes on her signature jewelry silhouettes. The 13-piece apparel collection includes jeans, tailored blazers, and shirts, all in traditional rodeo colors with retro Wrangler graphics.

The collection is designed for city or ranch life and everything in between. Fans of the brands can look for turquoise embellishments and embroidered rose motifs, adding a bit of sophistication to the clothing.

"My heart feels most at home on the ranch, and there's nothing that suits ranch life better than Wrangler," Scott says in a press release. "I'm so happy to be bringing the iconic look and feel of Wrangler to Yellow Rose by Kendra Scott in a collaboration that helps celebrate the spirit of the American West."

The jewelry within the collection was created for layering — turquoise, vintage ivory mother-of-pearl, marbled amber, and silver and yellow gold tie the collection together. Styles include chandelier earrings, statement rings, double-stranded necklaces, and more.

The iconic 'W,' a nod to Wrangler, is incorporated into several jewelry designs.

In keeping with the brand's commitment to philanthropy, Kendra Scott will donate 20 percent of every purchase price of the Wrangler x Yellow Rose by Kendra Scott Elaina Corded Bracelet to the Kendra Scott Foundation (KSF). KSF will direct this donation from Kendra Scott to the National FFA Organization (formerly Future Farmers of America), the company says.

Wrangler is also donating $10,000 to the National FFA to support scholarships in connection with this collaboration.

The Wrangler x Yellow Rose by Kendra Scott collection is available online at Kendra Scott and Wrangler, select Kendra Scott stores, and at the Austin, Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Houston rodeos. This collab collection is also available in the Wrangler's stores in the Fort Worth Stockyards and their brand's hometown of Greensboro, North Carolina.

Mimosa Walk returns to Austin's South 1st Street for sips and shopping

Businesses along South 1st Street are welcoming shoppers with mimosas on Saturday, November 16.

Perhaps no other drink has the mimosa's power to draw people out on the weekend, and one Austin neighborhood is harnessing it for a leisurely tour of local businesses. The Austin Mimosa Walk: South 1st Fall Festival is scheduled for November 16, and will stop at local businesses, each with complimentary drinks.

The tour will include some shopping, some casual snack spots, and even some wellness stops. Although not every business mimosa walkers will pass is participating, the tour will pass lots of local eateries, making it easy to tack on a lunch when the Champagne starts making itself known.

The following eight businesses are participating as stops on the self-guided tour:

Austin Salt Room — a spa-like environment for salt therapy, essentially hanging out near tons of salt while breathing in microscopic salt particles, which are said to improve respiratory health
Blue Suede Austin — a cool women's shoe boutique (with a wine bar!) that specializes in semi-casual styles at mid-range prices, featuring brands like Sam Edelman, Jeffrey Campbell, and Cecelia
Devil’s Details Boutique — formerly Bloomers and Frocks, this vintage shop has rebranded and shifted its focus to jewelry, often in bold and unique styles
Glint Dental — a dental office specializing in aesthetic procedures like veneers and whitening, but also offering general and preventative care
Golden Mean — early holiday shoppers should keep friends and family in mind at this gift shop, which carries unique goods ranging from soaps and blankets to kitchen goods and avant-garde decor.
Once Over Coffee— an unassuming-on-the-outside, artsy-on-the-inside coffee shop serving Wild Gift Coffee and less common coffee shop finds like kombucha and Italian soda
Package Austin — a queer menswear store for harnesses, underwear, accessories, toys, and community events
Sugar Mamas Bakeshop — a colorful bakery specializing in fantastically decorated cakes, often with a sarcastic or funny twist

The listing on Eventbrite promises a hydration station by Topo Chico, a collector's glass, and that the event will sell out. It requires that tickets ($32) be purchased in advance online. [Update: An event organizer says the ninth business on the Eventbrite list is still under construction, and will not be participating.]

The walk will take place from noon to 3:30 pm. Guests will receive a "passport" to help navigate between tour stops. A check-in tent will get guests started at 1628 S. 1st St.
