Thread Thursday: Austin Street Style at Co-Star

Dear Fashionistas,

A couple of weeks ago, I was on South Congress and discovered Co-Star, the more “guy-friendly” sister store of Maya Star.  I also spotted this trendy fashionisto and had to ask if I could snap his photo.  I think he’s doing so many things right: The jacket with a hint of shoulder pad and the sleeves gathered at the elbow, the skinny jeans and the scarf…  He’s made a neutral palette of black  the canvas for other design details, such as the graphic scarf, simple necklace and patent leather shoes.  Nicely done.

Also, Co-Star itself is worth a visit, if for nothing else than their quirky array of smile-inducing t-shirts.  Besides the House of Harlow jewelry, they were my favorites.

Fashionably Yours,

Nik

Thread Thursday: Creatures Boutique in Austin

Dear Fashionistas,

South Congress is home to many quirky and fabulous shops, but none as adorable as Creatures Boutique.  This quaint shop is stocked full of lovely and reasonably-priced hand-made items, from dresses to wallets to jewelry.  I absolutely love the leather wallets with the metal detailing and I was really impressed with the vintage-inspired silk dresses.  The girls at the boutique are super-friendly and helpful and if I had to sum up the clothing, it’d be fun, feminine and flirty.  If you have a party to go to, Creatures Boutique is the perfect place to pick up something special!

Fashionably Yours,

Nik
