I tried to refrain from writing about this because, well, it seems like the 2nd Street District is ALWAYS hosting shopping extravaganzas, so that doesn’t really make it all that newsworthy. But after recieving my 10th email about the dang thing, I thought I might as well post it, in case one of you savvy shoppers…

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…

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…
Free Yoga 5pm Today at Seventh Street Yoga
This afternoon, Friday June 13th, Seventh Street Yoga (quite literally on 7th between West & Rio Grande) will be open from 4-7pm and offering a complimentary yoga class at 5pm. You can also shop–their boutique carries the exclusive collection from Zobha, as well as lululemon and Hardtail Forever. I think this is the class they…
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…
Road trip to Steve & Barry’s
Okay, my road trip isn’t actually to the mass retailer, I’m headed to Galveston for a friend’s birthday beach bash, but on the way I have big plans for stopping by Katy Mills mall to check in to the Steve & Barry’s. Why? To check out $8.98 lines BITTEN from Sarah Jessica Parker, dear by…
