Haute Event: Happy Birthday Plain Ivey Jane!

A happy birthday shout-out goes to Plain Ivey Jane!  Sarah Reeves’ charming boutique on 2nd Street turns 1 year old this Saturday and I plan to be there to celebrate.  There will be drinks from Savvy Vodka, a photo booth (my personal fav party draw), and tunes from DJ Abe & DJ Arsenal.

Come wish the store a happy birthday and check out the latest Spring goodies PIJ has to offer.  I’ll see you there!

Feelin’ the Fashion Blogger Love: Texas Style Council

I am very excited to be attending the first ever Texas Style Council Conference next weekend, March 11th-13th, here in Austin!  Indiana from Adored Austin and Grechen from NewtoATX put their brilliant blogger minds together and decided to create the Texas Style Council to connect Texas fashion bloggers, as well as educate us on how to make  our blogs better.

While I won’t be able to attend the Friday and Saturday activities (my favorite New York boyfriend will be in town), I will definitely be at the symposium on Sunday to soak up the educational info like a sponge.  I only started Hello Hauteness back in June and still have a lot I want to do with it so I’m looking forward to listening to speakers such as Jenine Jacob of The Coveted and Kendi Skeen of Kendi Everyday tell me how they built their successful blogs.

Thanks to Indiana and Grechen for organizing the conference!  I look forward to mingling with all of the wonderfully talented bloggers who will be there.

You can follow the activities of the council via @txstylecouncil on Twitter.

Attention Austinites!  It’s time again for Le Garage Sale so be sure to head over to the Palmer Events Center next weekend to check out the discounts offered by your favorite local vendors.  A few of my favs will be there, including Peacock Plume, Plain Ivey Jane, Touch of Sass and Service Menswear.

Stylist tip:  Shop now for Fall and Winter items.  You can get some great finds (leather, cashmere, etc.) for a serious discount.  Plus, if you don’t get to wear them this season, you’ll have some brand new items when you go to switch out your wardrobe next Fall.  It’s a surprise when you go to look in your closet and discover something you forgot you bought.  I love those suprises!
