Words can’t describe how much we adore By George in Austin (It’s one of the 45 Best Stores in Texas, you know!) Our current obsessions include their line of shoes by Joie, fab handbags by Linea Pelle and of course, our perennial favorite Madison Marcus.
Stroll along Austin’s Congress Avenue Bridge to see 1.5 million bats swarm over Town Lake at dusk. Or for more comfortable viewing, make dinner reservations on the patio at Shoreline Grill for prime seating. August is the best month for bat watching!

You say it every year, “We should plan a girls trip.” At the moment it seems like the best idea ever. Then it never happens. For something that is easy, fun and inexpensive we recommend a girls shopping trip with Whimsey. Mandy and Meredith Cloud have put their love for vintage finds, home décor and getting a bargain, together and formed their shopping trip company, Whimsey. They’ll take you and your girlfriends on a shopping excursion around Austin (and we’re not talking about just going to the mall). They’ll bring the snacks and the drinks, you bring your friends. The Cloud girls know all the vintage stores, flea markets, shops that Keep Austin Weird.
