Fedoras! Frocks! Feathers!

12:15 PM Posted by Unknown ,
Austin Fashion Week is almost upon us!  August 10-18 will bring Austin fashionistas out onto the streets in full force & designers will descend upon the city.  Start planning your outfits now, folks.  It's dress to impress week.

For a full lineup of events, go here.  I'm hoping more events appear on the list in the next week; last year there were more free events on the schedule in the evenings and let's face it: I cannot afford the tickets to be an official fashion week attendee.  Be that as it may, I shall report back after enjoying some of these events & I hope to see you there (even if I don't know that I've seen you!).

You can also check them out on Facebook.
Or on Twitter.
Or on Pinterest.
OR on Google+.
Oh, social media outlets...

Attention Fashion Devotees

12:10 AM Posted by Unknown , ,
It's almost that time of year. That's right: Fashionista domination. August 20-27 is Austin Fashion Week! Tickets are currently on sale for VIP Packages or Badges that enable access to certain events, or fashion hungry folk can attend multiple free events all week long. Each day has a theme (ex: edgy & eclectic and classic couture) and promises to provide innovative looks from designers. If the fashion isn't enough to get you in the door, many events will provide live music and drinks as well!

If you're on the fence, check out these photos from Austin Fashion Week 2010.
