I <3 Sabia
There are some things I don’t get about Austin. Like today when I was trying to find DaVine Foods for some sprouted grain pizza, and I stumbled into the Enchanted Forest where a man was welding some things and didn’t notice me as I walked by four times looking hopelessly out of place. Only in…
Vintage Mecca
I read in Melanie Spencer’s statesman.com blog today that La Luz Home and Fashion and Prototype Vintage are planning to merge into one vintage mega-store. The two will combine at Prototype’s South Congress Avenue location in August, with both stores offering sales all this month. Don’t forget that tomorrow is First Thursday, so if you’re out for the…
Those Thursday Night Happy Hours
TRIBEZA is at it again (as they are every month), with a Happy Hour this Thursday at Adelante. The Uptown District has some of the best shopping, dining, and art in the city. Join us this Thursday as we head to the 26 Doors Shopping Center for our Happy Hour at Adelante boutique. Complimentary food…
J’Tote Bags
I wrote an article on J’Tote, a line of laptop bags from Austinite Jeri Barr, in the November/December issue of Texas Home & Living magazine, but it just occurred to me that I should put a link to them here too! They are super stylish bags with lots of room and tons of padding to…
Tribeza Summer Bash at Bridges on the Park
The mags are all throwing events this week (Rare’s $20/person party on Sunday, Austin Monthly’s hosting of the grand opening of Home Enchanted home store today?), but were I in town–I’m headed to NYC in less than an hour–I’d want to go to this one. Who doesn’t want to check out some downtown development, try…
Stylin’ Thursdays: Grand Opening
Another Thursday, another happy hour-boutique-shopping affair. A new jewelry and accessory store is coming to the chic Second Street shopping district, and Austin Monthly hosts its grand opening. Here are the details: Beyond Tradition and Austin Monthly invite you to a grand opening! Toast to our arrival in the fashionable 2nd Street District with complimentary…
Costco Liquors vs. Spec’s
I’m hosting a Kentucky Derby party on Saturday afternoon–more because it was a good excuse to get dressed up than because I’m super-into the Derby itself–so I set out on my buying liquor mission yesterday. Before Spec’s came to town, Costco Liquors was THE cheapest place to buy liquor (and a small selection of beer…
Too many options Thursday!
So many events, so little time. Thursdays are hot in the ATX! (literally and figuratively, natch) Top Billing: Sago Modern Mexican opening! 6:00-7:30pm … Sponsored by Austin Monthly and featuring free apps and martinis, the launch of this new restaurant in the Triangle should be an awesome event. Others: Austin Monthly is also hosting a…
Steve + Barry’s Report
… disappointing. The celeb-designed lines did not live up to their hype, as they mostly consisted of generic, solid-colored t-shirts and pants. The pants came in regular and short, which doesn’t work for a tall person like myself who can never find pants long enough, and the few offerings of shorts or skirts looked like…
