On the list of things I would like to be for the day, gaucho isn't at the top of the list but a new program in Buenos Aires actually makes it sound a bit fun. The Buenos Aires steakhouse, La Cabaña, is offering a 'Gaucho for a Day' program that includes full day excursions to a cattle ranch to experience life as a gaucho on the Argentinean pampas. It's basically the South American version of the American cowboy experience. The night before, guests will enjoy a dinner at La Cabaňa, where they are given traditional gaucho attire of a beret, typical trousers called bombachas, a shirt, canvas and rope sole, alpargatas shoes and a scarf. The following morning, they are driven to one of two ranches, Estancia El Rocio, the more luxurious option which is designed for those looking for a laidback version of the cowboy life, or Estancia La Palmas, for those who want a whole day on the range driving cattle and eating a barbecue dinner with grilled meat in front of an open fire. The experience costs $500.

The Dior Gaucho Double Saddle Bag is definitely an eye-catcher. Not only is the bag a hot item this season due to its charming vintage western look, but to its flashy antiqued silver hardware and accessories. Each bag has two pairs of "1947" Christian Dior medallions and large old-fashioned keys dangling from both the front buckle and the strap. 1947 is a significant year for the designer because it marks the debut of the very first Dior collection, a collection which introduced the "New Look" of tight waists and long, fitted skirts. Getting back to the Gaucho, the flaps of the bag lift up to reveal interior compartments on either side of the purse, including a pocket just the right size for a cell phone, and seal with magnetic clasps. The bag is available in both dark red and in white, which has more noticeable contrast stitching on the soft, washed calfskin leather. Price: $1,995.
