Last month we flew into Austin, TX to celebrate the marriage of my best friend and her fantastic beau. The entire weekend was such an amazing time, filled with fabulous people, delicious eats, and good down to earth Texas fun. Kicking off the festivities was some finger-licking BBQ at the Salt Lick, we were dolled up in dresses and cowgirl boots, fitting the scene quite well. Before the wedding, which was at the Shoreline Grill along lady bird lake, we explored the city. Huffing it on foot, and dodging the looming rain clouds, we found some adorable boutiques, savvy shops and some more great food.
Two of my favorite shops to mention are the clothing store, By George, and the decor store, Mercury. By George, which is on South Congress, carries apparel, bags, shoes and jewelry from designers such as: La Rok, Corey Lynn Calter, Ella Moss, Salt Optics, etc. Across the water, on W 2nd Street, Mercury design studio is on a trendy block of real estate (including Ligne Roset). It reminds me of a merging of San Diego based Mixture + Solana Beach based Solo. I could have bought almost everything in the store, from the wall reliefs, to fox tails, to the custom covered chairs.
The weekend definitely went by too quick, and there was much more that I want to explore in Austin. Good thing our friends have a big house for visitors!
