Holiday Wear

Even though it is not necessarily “cold” in Austin at this moment, I cant help but get excited for the prospect of holiday appropriate clothing.  For me, the holidays always invoke visions of metallic, velvet, lace and sequins. There aren’t many times that I feel like dressing up in Austin...

Texas Hatters {Studio Visit}

I have to say, there is probably nothing finer than having something custom made, just for you.  A few weeks ago I got to join Andrew on his quest to get the perfect hat.  So where else would we go but Texas Hatters.  A true Texas original, Texas Hatters is...

Sara, my assistant extraordinaire, introduced me to Bona Drag a few months ago, and when I was perusing Honestly WTF yesterday I just had to click through to check out their new Ceremonial Collection.  As you know, I am not a fan of the traditional wedding garb, jewelry, or event,...

Advanced Style

I was perusing the blog for our new NYC store, Flying A and stumbled upon a clip for Advanced Style : the documentary.  I absolutely say that age is a state of mind and not a number, and this blog and upcoming documentary show just that.  I hope that all...

Tribal Flats!

I was dropping off a donation for the Pies & Pigs benefit at HOPE Farmers Market last weekend when I ran by a booth selling amazing hand embroidered flats.  1 week later, I was back with my mom picking out a pair for my birthday!  Not only are they perfect...

I was perusing Miss Moss today when I found a preview of the new Wiksten s/s12 collection and wanted to share.   Wiksten is a small quantity line, with designer Jenny Gordy designing and making each garment by hand in her Iowa City studio.  Jenny’s aesthetic is simple, utilitarian, and definitely...

Bridal Headpiece

I was approached by my good friend Jackie to create a custom headpiece for her sister Nicole’s wedding in Chile earlier this year.  It wasn’t a project I would have come to on my own, so I really enjoyed the challenge.  We had some inspiration from a local bridal shop...

Shews…Shews…

I found Marais USA via Refinery29 yesterday and wanted to share the love.  Marais USA was founded in 2008 by Catherine Chen and Haley Boyd after graduating from Parsons School of Design.  Marais USA was their answer to the age old problem of simple, affordable, and attractive shoes.  They found...

Shoes and Shoes and more Shoes

I spent all winter looking for the perfect clog style bootie, preferably with a wooden heel, that wasnt $400.  And it was a lot harder than I thought!  I finally snagged this pair of Joe’s Grant Boot, but it seems that I am still a little bit shoe obsessed.  Here...
