Where to Find That Knock-out Halloween Costume in Austin

October 21, 2016 by Susan Meyer Leave a Comment

Wigs and headpieces at Coco Coquette

Just a few of the show-stopping headpieces at Coco Coquette

It’s that time of year. The fake cobwebs are strung up everywhere. The random disembodied foot on the neighbor’s lawn is no cause for alarm. A waterfall of pumpkins and decorative gourds spills forth from the mouth of every grocery store.

Yes, Halloween is right around the corner, and with it the opportunity to show off your most creative ensemble. Will you be a Halloween classic like a witch or a zombie? Or opt for a celebrity impersonation? Almost as important as deciding which new character you want to inhabit is figuring out where to get the gear to make it happen. Luckily, Austin has a number of local businesses to suit all your Halloween costume needs. [Read more…]

Spend a Day Shopping Vintage in Austin’s North Loop Neighborhood

February 2, 2016 by Guest Blogger 1 Comment

Vintage Shopping North Loop

Guest article by Laurie Engle

The thrill of sorting through decades of funky, silly, elegant fashion and home decor is one of my passions. Vintage clothing and furniture give sense of style a dash of eccentricity. When I buy vintage, I’m buying nostalgia, and I’m a nostalgia kinda girl.

On North Loop, just east of Guadalupe in North Austin, you’ll find a community of vintage shops away from the tourist crowds on South Congress. This is one of my favorite places to spend a day in Austin, and the one I go to satisfy my craving for that idiosyncratic fashion gem.

Keep reading for a guide to five of my favorite places for vintage shopping in the North Loop neighborhood.

Shades of pink and crimson mingle comfortably among strands of shoulder-length hair. An eloquent British accent, superb posture and arched eyebrows provide an air of regalia. The contrast between playful and traditional characteristics make Sophie Parrott memorable. Like the company she founded in 2011, she’s full of surprises!  As a modern day Mary Poppins, she transforms ordinary into extraordinary.

If Tim Burton and 50’s pin-up model Betty Paige had a love child [Read more…]

Vintage Ware: Austin Business Creating History on Your Wrist

March 19, 2014 by Guest Blogger 1 Comment

Edgar Diaz Founder Vintage Ware

Edgar Diaz, Founder of Vintage Ware

This guest blog article is by Kendra Wright.

One of the magnetic things about Austin is the wealth of creatives who call our city home. Edgar Diaz, seasoned local artist in metal sculpture and found objects, has had an Austin address for nearly a decade. Like many of the other brilliant visionaries migrating here, he stuffed his suitcase with jaw-dropping talent and a desire to innovate.

Diaz’s newest adventure in art and business, Vintage Ware, was born from his interest in showcasing discoveries found while combing through antique markets. His line of cuffs incorporates breathing parts of history, with relics ranging from World War II trench art, to military badges, to Victorian Era shoe buckles.

Paired with every purchase is the story behind the cuff, a trail of its travels through history to your wrist. [Read more…]
