13 Mar SXSW Texture Tuesday

Hello everyone, hope you are all beginning to enjoy the spring weather. We are excited to bring you our very first post for Texture Tuesday. We will be posting our favorite trends every week including all things fashion, home decor and fabulous! For this week, we are featuring trendy clothing, home decor and clubs for South By Southwest (aka: SouthBy and SXSW).

Whether you’re a Tech-savvy geek, huge film buff or music connoisseur, you are in store for an amazing week. Kicking off this week in Austin, the SouthBy conference is bringing folks from all over the country for what is sure to be an incredible event. SXSW includes several days of interactive talks, musical performances early in the afternoon that last until the wee hours of the morning( for those who can last), great films with Q and A panels, and not to mention amazing food to keep SXSW goers fueled throughout the week. Here’s a few websites to help you keep up with all that’s going on:

Aside from the zillions of SXSW activities, the fashion is something not to be missed. Although it poured last week in Austin, the sun has finally shown its true colors to welcome everyone from all across the world. Austin is known for its fantastic vintage shops…here’s just a few to check out and see what you can find: Amelia’s Retro-Vogue & Relics, on S. First, Buffalo Exchange and Cream Vintage, both on the “Drag” (aka: Guadalupe St.).

And in case you grow weary of all the hoopla, take a nice break on the outdoor patio or inside this one-of-a-kind wine bar and home decor shop: Aviary Lounge &Home Decor.

Aviary Decor & Lounge, 2110 S. Lamar Blvd.

Some of the most amazing wines, beers, and Charcuterie in town!  You can also check out our whimsical new line of pillows…the first collection under the powers of The Pillow Goddess (aka: Deborah Main).  These fun and funky pillows feature vintage fabrics and a peek-a-boo zipper; all priced under $75.  You’ve got to take away a “Made in Austin, TX USA” souvenir back to your family and friends, so be sure to add a pop of color to your digs back home and collect one for yourself.

We hope you have a fantastic time at SouthBy!! Eat, drink and be merry with the best music, film, and shopping around. Please check out the textures for Texture Tuesday with the fabrics used in these one-of-a-kind pillows below.  Cheers!  xoPG
