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!

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!

With the full onset of Fall in Texas, along with the fact that they did an EPIC mash-up of Singin’ in the Rain and Rihanna’s Umbrella last night on Glee, I find myself lusting after rain boots as of late.
While I have my beloved classic black Coach galoshes, for some reason I have this itch to start a collection of waterproof boots. I mean, can you blame me? They come in the cutest prints, colors, and styles, and afterall, they do serve a very useful purpose. A girl can’t look stylish if her feet are wet. Not to mention that if you don’t buy designer brands such as Burberry or Tory Burch, you can totally start a fabulous collection without breaking the bank.
So my newest obsession is totally doable, right? Well, even if you think I’m ridiculous, enjoy this eye candy smattering of my favorite styles.

Austin fashionistas be sure to stop by SoLa tonight for their 2010 Fashion Exhibit. This local Austin boutique is having a roaring 20’s inspired showing of their latest and greatest for Fall. In place of a typical fashion show they will have models on display throughout the store showing off the designs so you can get an up-close and personal feel for the clothing. And the best part is that 5% of the evening’s sales will go to benefit Safeplace.
Drop in, have a cocktail and check out some great styles. I hope to see you there!

Attention ladies! I was catching up on my fav blogs and fashion sites the other night and noticed that Peacock Plume has all kinds of great new stuff for Fall. Be sure to check it out before it’s too late. You can’t find styles this cute at such great prices just anywhere (that sounds like a sales pitch, but it’s honestly what I think when I look at the site).
The masterminds behind Peacock Plume, Cara and Holly, are hosting another Sip and Shop event at their offices next Thursday, November 18th. If you’re in Austin be sure to stop by and check out all of their fabulous new stuff to purchase free of shipping.
Be sure to keep an eye on the site over the coming weeks because they have new Fall/Winter items posting daily. Here are some of my favorite new pieces currently available at the Plume:







Kudos to Cara and Holly for their sharp eye for buying and continued success!
