While perusing our monthly stack of fashion mags, our hearts skipped a beat when we came across the “Modern Arts” spread in the March issue of Vogue, photographed by Mario Sorrenti and featuring Karlie Kloss.

Yes, the spread features heart-palpitation-inducing spring fashion, but it’s the glorious, colorful setting of the shoot that really made us smile: Amarillo’s very own Cadillac Ranch.

But can you handle this?!

On our trip to San Marcos earlier this week, we made a point of stopping in Round Rock to see (read: gawk at) the “Texas” donut at Round Rock Donuts. You might think a “Texas” donut is one that’s frosted with the Texas state flag or even one that has a sugar cowboy boot on it.

Nope…it’s a massive 2 lb. donut that’s literally bigger than your head. Even if you have a big head. Just sayin’. This bad boy comes in glazed and chocolate-covered and costs $5.99–what a bargain.

Here at ShopAcrossTexas, we just can’t help but love things that are a bit off-the-wall and cuckoo. Or a lot off-the-wall and cuckoo.

Case in point: The Vintagemobile. It’s a 1980s school bus that’s been painted green and converted into a mobile vintage boutique. What could be better?

Parked outside Hotel Belmont in Dallas (in the Smoke parking lot–that’s the Belmont’s simply amaze restaurant) each Saturday and Sunday from 11am-4pm, The Vintagemobile stocks such finds as 1950s cowboys boots, about a gajillion concert tees, feminine dresses, handbags, belts and knick-knacks of all sorts.

Happy cool-hunting.
