Yak Pak is Bak
Swag abounds during SXSW, so how does a company set itself out from the noise? Yak Pak–yes, the backpack staple–let its stylish, functional tote bags do the talking. They sweetly sent me one after SX to take for a spin, and after I used it as a weekender this past weekend, I can say that…
How to Buy a Man’s Suit
I don’t post so much on men’s fashion because it’s sort of boring. And the Vermonster is frankly uninterested. My brother still wears his Ghanaan caftan thing on stage when he performs. My dad tries, but loves puffy vests more than stylin’ suits. So when I found a fantastic guide to buying a super-hot men’s…
If you can afford it …
Anthony Nak is 50-80% off! This MAY be old news, and there’s no way I can afford anything, even if it’s 50-80% off, but how fantastic is this necklace? http://anthonynak.com/
It’s Bikini Season! Wait, no it isn’t …
… but I got into some hot springs today (in my fave swimsuit from Vix–the hottest!) and I’m freezing my ass off, so it’s the time of year to start thinking about bikini weather, and dreaming about it, and perusing Victoria’s Secret’s 2010 Swim catalog, knowing it’s best to hold off another month or two…
Blazers! Blazers that don’t suck, that is.
Blazers are SO EASY. You just throw one on with a basic white tee and some jeans and you instantly look awesome. Well. You instantly look awesome if your blazer is good. If your blazer sucks or is boring, you look like you threw one on with a basic tee and jeans and thought you’d…
Sidewinders: Leather Layers
One of the essentials to dressing in Austin is layering. If it’s cold outside, it’s hot inside; if it’s hot outside, it’s freezing inside. We Texans don’t do happy mediums, we do extremes. Luckily leather is great choice–almost seasonless, it’s the first piece into your closet in winter and the last out in the summer.…
Rock ‘n’ Swap
When I was in middle school, I organized a clothing swap for three friends and myself. Unfortunately, I was a rad 5’9″ in 8th grade, and the rest of the girls, well, weren’t. So they might have scored some sweet new threads for free, but I don’t remember any great takeaways. However, this has not…
Lovely on the Catwalk
Join Lovely Austin Boutique for their debut fashion show featuring exclusive “Lovely-Style” ensembles from cutting edge and trendy to vintage and timeless. While I’ve yet to visit the cute boutique on S. 1st street, check out this fantastic description one of the owners gave me: We’re aiming for “Couture Consignment” and attempting to take the…
Leggings: A Tutorial
Dedicated to my mom, who has abstained from leggings for over a year just because I said so. I just got back from a week in Colorado (blame the Vermonster), and I am pretty sure that I rocked the leggings/boots combo for over 50% of the time. Little-known perk of cold-weather dressing: you can wear…
