The lovely Star Lee who created DOG AND PONY has definitely offered Austin a perspective on fashion from her many impressive adventures in the land of clothing. Yesterday I finally stopped in and was mesmerized by the affordable threads that include simple but expressive tops and dresses from StyleStalker, Wildfox, MinkPink and vintage! She even had a new jewelry line we've been admiring on Etsy, HEY MURPHY. We all know Austin has a pretty unique vibe that feels like it pervades everything you do here in a balanced way so next time you're here don't forget to stop by. Don't be shy...tell her we sent you!
Stag is considered to blend the best of many unique elements and ideas of essentials for leading the life of every gentleman. They pair high end with low, mix vintage classics with new collections! The best part is everything from their one-of-a-kind vintage furniture pieces, local poster designs, taxidermy, belts and more are all available for sale. The staff is amazing and they do a great job picking the perfect goods for a meticulous collection.
Laced with Romance, you really do make us Austin vintage-lovers proud. Aside from your always impeccable taste and beautifully curated collection, the new in-house line, Dust & Drag, has us absolutely head over heels obsessed. The description on the online shop reads almost like a laundry list of our favorite things: "Lots of leather, burnout velvet, hand dyed wears, and luscious silks." Yeah, I know, right? Please excuse us, we're having one of those Stevie Nicks moments again.
The day has finally come: Bleach Online's Spring issue "Waves" launches tomorrow. And in true Austin tradition, there will be a huge party to commemorate the occasion. Cowabunga Babez will perform, Sugar Mama's Bakeshop will provide the mini cupcakes and DJ Tweedy and Jason McNeely will spin retro hits. What more can you ask for on this Wednesday night?
Can't really think of a better way to spend my birthday than in Austin with one of my favorite bands ever, King Tuff, some PBR, and the good (Californian!) people of Burger Records.
