Sometimes it’s tough to find a shoe for CrossFit that can meet all your needs: not only are they cute, but they NEED to be functional for running and lifting. Sure, you have your running shoes, your casual sneaks, maybe even your Vibrams, but what shoe can you wear that’ll meet any WOD’s demands? 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…

New permanent feature of This is Life in Austin
I’m excited to announce that I’ve installed a new page focused entirely on trends. This isn’t months out–this is what you need to go to the store, buy today, and wear tonight.

Honeydew Undies
My little blurb on the side brought me this gem from a (guy) friend: “Two fashion comments: 1. Can we please introduce more women to Honeydew? It’s the hottest stuff on the planet. 2. Would you please rant on trash bag dresses? They are unattractive, unflattering, and resemble the haircut of an 8-year-old from the…

Good Fashion!
I often post in posts and on that little side bar about all the things I see that make me upset/sad/angry that nobody’s mama taught them to dress as well as mine taught me. But in the spirit of being positive, I want to write a few notes about things that totally WORK that I’ve…
Now, a Diatribe on White Pants*
*And other fashiony things I need to get off my chest It’s really hot in Austin, I know. A “cold front” came through tonight and we all got excited because it dropped to 80, but by the time I’m walking around downtown at noon tomorrow, it’ll be 1,956 degrees again and I’ll be sweating through…
Glossy 8 Party
The Statesman’s style writers are all abuzz about the Glossy 8 party tonight. I’m hoping that means plans are huge and it should be awesome! It’s the first time since I’ve been tracking down Austin events (about 2 years now) that I’ve heard about the Statesman throwing a party, so maybe that’s the buzz. Whatever…
