Christine Fail's Schatzelein

Just as hard as it is to pronounce this local boutique's name, Schatzelein (pronounced shots a line), it is just as easy to become enamored with its selection of jewelry.   Schatzelein owner, Christine Fail, has carefully curated a variety of handmade designer jewelry from around the world for this special Austin jewelry boutique.  Among the international artists, Schatzelein also proudly offers several Austin based designs including owner Christine Fail's own line of simple yet modern pieces.

This South 1st accessories boutique has been around for a little over a year now.  I have been meaning to check it out for awhile, but only recently made it inside and I am so glad I did!  This boutique contains many beautiful pieces and several different styles from antique inspired chunky rings to lightweight understated earrings.  While the selection of styles is varying, the quality is not.  Every brand carried at Schatzelein is well-made and has been thoughtfully selected.  But while the designs are high quality and handmade, the prices are not outrageous.  I have my eye on a few pieces and will definitely be back.

Recap: South First Fashion Show

When a fashion show starts out with a girl wrapped in a giant python Britney Spears "I'm A Slave For You" style and dances to a tribal drum beat, you know it's going to be a fun show.  But, fashion shows in South Austin are almost always a blast.  A little on the cooky side sometimes, but always unique, South Austin fashion never disappoints.  (And just FYI, I couldn't stop taking photos of that snake girl because it was way too cool.  And my desire to own a snake has now been rekindled.)

The South First Fashion Show, which was held at boutique Mana Culture last Friday, was put together by the non-profit organization Cause to Celebrate.  The mission of Cause to Celebrate is to support local Austin businesses and charities by putting on fun events such as fashion shows and parties.
