I have a lot more free time now that I am doing strictly freelance work, so I'm taking the opportunity to shoot more Street Style photos.  Plus, I plan on taking a ton of Street Style photos during SXSW because  that was my favorite part of SXSW last year.  So, if you're gonna be out and about, make sure you are keeping Austin stylish!

Fabricker has only been open about a month, but has already gathered a following of local designers and crafters who are loving this new fabric store's unique selection of carefully curated fabrics.  Next Friday is a great excuse to come check out the store is you haven't already because Fabricker is throwing a Grand Opening party!

Fawn + Raven

It took me awhile to find Fawn + Raven.  Even though I'm directionally challenged, you can't really blame me.  Tucked away on W.35th, this new little boutique is easy to miss.  But what's behind the big wooden door of this tiny grey house should not be overlooked.  With its wallpapered walls, dark moody interior, and belts hidden away in drawers, it really feels like you're in your own closet when you're inside this boutique.  Or rather, this is what you would want your closet to be if you could have one of those luxurious Real Housewives type of walk-in closets. 

The small setup of Fawn + Raven definitely lends itself to an intimate customer service shopping experience, which is what store owner, Kim Sierra, specializes in.  Kim encourages customers to set up an appointment if they need some one-on-one styling help.  Besides the personal styling, one of the things that makes Fawn + Raven unique is its selection of brands you won't find much of in Austin- Gypsy Junkies, House of Harlow, Beatrice from Italy, and Clover Canyon, to name a few.  But Kim likes to mix in a few lower end brands like Ark & Co. as well so clients can meld lower end pieces with higher end pieces.  "As long as its made well, we will carry it" says Kim.  She's also keen to carry local designers and has many jewelry pieces by local Austin designer Rene Guest.

Upcoming Event: Fashion Freakout 5

If you're really into the fashion scene in Austin, or even if you're not really into the fashion scene in Austin, this is the one fashion show you have to check out.  Put on by Prototype Vintage Design, Fashion Freakout now in its fifth year, brings together local vintage clothing with live music performances to create a rock star fashion show.  Of all the fashion shows I have seen in Austin, this show is the best at capturing the vibe of Austin's fashion scene - unique, eclectic, and fun!  Check out my photos from last year's Fashion Freakout to see what I mean.  (I also had a video of last year's show but youtube took it down because they are evil.)

I can't wait for this show!  I'm especially pleased to see that new local favorite, Charm School Vintage is involved this year.  Last year Laced with Romance stole my heart with their unique looks and bold styling.  Who will make my heart flutter this year at Fashion Freakout 5?
