Austin Fashion Week

Austin Fashion Week has begun! This is the first year for this event, and I love the concept--local boutiques and salons host designers (most of them local designers), with complimentary cocktails, food, and beauty treatments. Several of the shops are offering discounts as well. They have a great website, with a really easy to use calendar, so you can plan which events to go to. The hard part is picking between events. This is a great way to support our local retailers and maybe check out some shops you haven't been to yet. Did I mention free cocktails?
