While everyone else is “Free Week”ing it–let those live-music lovers revel–I think we should be shopping. Mainly because I’ve found a lot of great deals to share with you! And it seems like all I’m blogging about this week is shopping … stimulate the economy, people, stimulate! Does this make me the Czarina of Shopping?…

Designer Clearance House
Driving down Burnet Road the other day, I was stopped in my tracks by the Designer Clearance House. This rarely happens to me, but who am I to turn down Designer clearances? I turn my car around and pop into the little shop to be greeted by a friendly man named Lalo. I ignore him…
Let’s talk accessories …
Since life has apparently shut down excepting New Year’s Eve promotions, I have to find something else to blog about. So I’m thinking about accessories. Mainly because I a) don’t have any to go with my stunning vintage dress that I will wear on said NYE, and b) I’m thinking of cute things to get…
Post-Christmas Sales!!
Don’t know how good they’re gonna be, but I’m guessing that they’re gonna be even better than the 20-30% off of everything we saw before Christmas … plus, here are a few secret deals: Saks Fifth Avenue Today only, online and in store, designer wares are up to 75% off. Once the weekend hits, prices…
Golf Fashion Show or Achachay! at Red Eyed Fly?
Though I have long professed to hate golf, the last time I went to the driving range I’ll admit to having a lot of fun. For ladies who like to hit the links, Golfsmith is having its second Women’s Night tonight featuring a women-only shopping experience. The Arboretum store will have a fashion show, wine,…
Rumors! La Condesa + Walton’s
A new restaurant from the Lambert’s team called La Condesa (Mexican food?) is scheduled to open in February ’09, directly across from Lambert’s at the corner of Guadalupe and 2nd Street. Chef Rene Ortiz of New York’s La Esquina (the corner, haha) will lead the restaurant and Lambert’s Executive Chef Larry McGuire will assist in…
Reusable bags are all the rage …
… yes, but the problem with all these silly canvas totes is what to do with produce? You still get a bazillion of those little cheap baggies that you can’t even use as trash can liners (what I do with store plastic bags). Enter Austin company Blue Avocado (why?) with their Grocery Packs, including resuable…
lululemon Grand Opening Downtown Friday
lululemon is known for soft, silky yoga wear, but they’ve expanded into a lifestyle brand and have been offering free yoga classes in Austin for quite some time. Friday, their new downtown store next to Sparks Cards & Gifts just off the corner of 6th & Lamar finally opens!! There are free classes this weekend,…
Twin Liquors jumps on the Spec’s/Grapevine Bandwagon
Which isn’t a bad thing. Turn shopping for liquor/beer/wine into shopping for the aforementioned plus cheese/crackers/gourmet food/chocolate and you’ve got yourself a whole afternoon–especially if it’s Friday and samples abound (hi, me, tipsy at Spec’s). The new 15,000 square foot Twin Liquors Marketplace will be in the Hancock Center, just ripe for UT students. The…
Magazine Throwdown Thursday
Are you a Tribeza girl or Austin Monthly man? Because AM is hosting not one but TWO events this Thursday, while the ‘Bez is hosting just one event, and I’m not even sure the drinks are free this time around! Two of the events are just one block apart … oh the drama! Deets: Tribeza…
