Austin Fashion Week – A Few Top Picks

Now, I’m going to be missing most of the week’s shenanigans (and my chance to judge the “Fashion Don’ts” portion of the Bruno showing–boo!), but I wouldn’t want you guys to miss out on the plethora of free food, booze, and even jewelry that is happening in conjunction with Austin Fashion Week. There is a [...]

Fashion in this town ups the ante with 2 events

For such a hipster place, it can be hard to find clothes to wear in Austin. How to achieve that laid-back but perfectly-put-together look we’re so famous for? And keep our sweat stains from showing at the same time? The cool kids can shop SoCo’s vintage stores, but some of us just don’t have time [...]

Sale at Bettysport + Scoping out Natural Grocers

Is your workout gear suffering from cardio-arrest? (Har,har) Replace your old duds during the pre-summer sale at Bettysport today through Sunday. Everything in both the downtown and Domain locations is at least 20% off, with plenty of 30% and 50% racks. I stopped by earlier and the $10 rack already looks slim, while the $25 [...]

Friday Night Happs + Sweet Caroline’s

So I’ve been meaning to post for awhile on the new (not so new now) boutique I serendipitously stumbled upon one morning while waiting for a table at the original Kerbey Lane. Caroline’s is an amazing boutique in the old lululemon spot. Caroline’s features fresh, affordable pieces, all walking that amazing line between perfect for [...]

Trendwatch: Summer Scarves

Summer Scarves
Yes, it’s true, I am in love with the summer scarf. I have been for quite some time. It differs from the winter scarf mainly in its weight, but also in color and fashion of wearing. This is an accessory, people, and you gotta adorn yourself with it. Pick light, gauzy fabrics in breezy [...]

Just in: 30-80% OFF at Ligne Roset

Ligne Roset just opened their concept showroom on Second Street, and perhaps antithetically they’re celebrating by clearing out merch. 30-80% off French-fantastic modern furniture is a total steal. Sale goes through the weekend, but you’re VIP if you head down there today.

I get the Thrillist newsletter by email, even though it’s supposed to be a Daily Candy/Austin Tidbits type email for what’s hot for dudes. When I found out a friend of a friend of a friend started the newsletter, I was even more, well, thrilled. Anyway, I loved what they sent me today so much [...]
