SHOP 'TIL YOU DROP...
Love to shop? Good! Whether you're looking for a new dress for a
big night out, or some budget-friendly pieces to wear around town,
Austin is the shopping destination for you.
With its high-end boutiques, trendy vintage shops, and contemporary couture
Austin has travelers of all ages, styles, and budgets scrambling to make room
in their luggage for one-of-a-kind finds. Here are some of Ashley's favorites.
By George SoCo caters to a younger clientele and offers contemporary clothing to impress. The merchandise
runs at a higher price point compared to other Austin boutiques, but you’ll find knockout dresses and your
favorite designers here. Price: $$$
Not your style? No problem! The Impeccable Pig is a great boutique with cute dresses, tops and chunky jewelry at
a very reasonable price. It’s hard to walk out of the store without finding something you love. In need of a great
‘throw on’ summer dress (Austin's uniform)? The Impeccable Pig is where you should head. Price: $-$$
If you're looking for your next favorite accessory, Kendra Scott's boutique is a must. With an LA reputation
bolstered by celebs like Sofia Vergara, this Austin native specializes in super-trendy, fun jewelry—from funky
studs to giant turqoise or black onyx dangles, bangles and necklaces. The Color Bar inside lets you customize any
pair of earrings from a large palette of colors. Prices start around $55.
On the flip side, if you're looking for chic and simple, pop over to Limbo for beautiful pieces. Price: $45 - $110.
For the eclectic shopper, Leighelena is the perfect mix of modern and thrift. This is a great place to pick up a gift
for a friend, find vintage clothes, or even slip your feet into some heavenly, broken-in cowboy boots. You'll find
trendy pieces here, as well, alongside the vintage finds. Price range: $-$$
Maya Star one of Ashley's favorite places to shop in Austin. The merchandise is trendy and the service is flawless.
Case in point: after shopping there, Ashley received a "Thank You for Shopping with Me" handwritten letter from
one of the sales associates. Truly a great local business that values customer service, with amazing products, to
boot! Price: $ - $$
Maybe it's best to just bring an extra suitcase! With so many trendy options, it's almost impossible to leave Austin
empty-handed. If you're still looking for inspiration please have a look through Ashley's SoCo shopping guide!
