So I finally got around to editing (read: merely resizing/cropping, I had no time to actually do much else) the over 700 pictures I took during the TX Style Council Conference, Style X, and general SXSW madness. Enjoy!!!

No idea what was going on but do I really need to explain why I captured this? Quote Joanna: "Ah! I can take a video of them and make them invisible!"

After 25 years of the phenomenon that is SXSW in Austin, Texas, a long-overdue fashion component was finally incorporated and named "Style X." A two day event filled with American Apparel Flea Market madness, runway shows featuring musicians instead of models (to emphasize the relationship between fashion and music), booths upon booths of amazing jewelry and clothes, Style X was definitely the beginning of something beautiful and to look forward to during SXSW. I'm glad fashion in my hometown, the ATX, has finally earned a somewhat formal title.
I already talked a lot about the TXSCC in previous posts, but I refrained putting too many pictures of that particular event on here because so much photography coverage has already been done. I even refrained from putting on full runway coverage of Style X because there were many photographers that documented the shows; instead I focused on little details that intrigued me throughout the week.
As you can see, jewelry and accessories in general were the focus of my photos. I actually had so much fun documenting the entire week that I'm thinking about starting to do streetstyle slightly more often on here. Not exactly full-body shots, just little inspiring details that I see while walking around the UT campus. The problem to overcome would be finding a way to lug around my heavy DSLR along with my books while walking around campus...
