2nd Street District Holiday Celebration

Tomorrow night, December 3rd, is going to a fabulous night for Austin fashion. The 2nd Street District boutiques are all celebrating the holidays with trunk shows, discounts, live music, and more!

The celebrations will begin at 6pm and last til 9pm. Several clothing boutiques are participating. I've got all the details right here for you to choose which stores you want to go:

1) Gallery D and Finch (a high end women's boutique with clothing and art, and a very cool home decor boutique with unique gifts and accesories)

If you don't want to take the time and effort to hop around to several different boutiques, this is where you should probably spend your night. Gallery D and Finch are teaming up together to host a local designer trunk show! Yes, that's right, local Austin screen printers Studio 3 and artist Stephanie Nance will be in the stores to chat with you and show off their collections. Stephanie Nance has some unique had cut earrings on her Etsy store which includes these made from recycled vintage tea tin.

Both Gallery D and Finch will be offering a 15% discount off all purchases and there will be live music by local band OHN. This is a celebration of local Austin at it's finest. And although Finch has mostly home decor and gifts, I happen to know that right now Finch has some fabulously unique handmade wooden rings made from thrift store finds.

2) Minx (a high end women's boutique)

Minx will be hosting a Jodi Arnold trunk show. Jodi Arnold is the fashion line out of New York previously named MINT.

3) Wee (everything you need to keep your baby stylish)

Wee is offering 20% off all in store purchases (except Orbit Baby strollers) and they will have wine and snacks. Mmm. This is where you want to go if you are a stylish mom.

4) Beyond Tradition (boutique specializing in jewelry, art, and accessories)

Beyond Tradition will also have local Austin designers in their store. You can check out their collections while enjoying hor d'oerves from III Forks and cocktails by Paula's Texas Spirits.

5) Eliza Page (jewelry and accessories boutique)

Eliza Page is hosting a jewelry trunk show by Branch made by LA designer Michele Scholnick. Michele will be in the store to present her nature inspired 18 carat gold and sterling silver collection. Here's a look at Branch:



So, come celebrate local fashion in the 2nd Street District!

Here's a simple map of the places I have listed, so you know where to go.
