Austin Street Style: American Icon Yard Sale

Star, the gorgeous owner behind Dog and Pony boutique. She sells hand-studded and spiked vintage Levi's, blazers, leather jackets as well as stocks the coolest jewelry pieces in Austin. Other brands worthy of note in her boutique: Stylestalker, Motel, Mink Pink, vintage everything, Species by the Thousand, Natalie Joy, Erica Weiner (one of my faves), and MUCH MORE. 
Quick facts about her: she is not only super nice and amazingly stylish (and invites me to eat her mom's food with her at her boutique), but has worked for McQueen showroom in Milan, worked for Alexander Wang, and casted for the first Sex and the City film. No biggie, right? If you're a local, you should definitely drop by her boutique. If you're not and you ever visit Austin, bookmark Dog and Pony as a must-visit. (EVERYTHING she's wearing is from her boutique).

...I ran into Briana (one of my blog sponsors, a fellow University Fashion Group member, and one of my models for my show this Thursday. She is one half of the team behind Ms. Charlie. I am also contemplating starting a series where I document her street style because the girl knows how to rock anything and make it look good.

...a few other shots I took at the vintage sale.  Aren't Donna's shoes above amazing? The seller said she got it from Aldo on clearance for $40 and I refused to believe it because it reminds me of McQueen's collections. 

I am a busy bee these days but there's always very little excuse to not make it out to the American Icon Yard Sale every month with $5 60's lace tunics and $10 designer blazers. I got myself a nice edwardian lace tunic and an embroidered vest at the gigantic vintage yard sale with over 30 sellers. Drooling over 50's mint dresses, 80's blazers, bohemian jewelry pieces, vintage rock/metal shirts and good music ending with a glass of mocha expresso with an old friend made for a great Sunday. I planned on taking more pictures but got distracted by the sheer amount of amazing vintage and the flurry of familiar faces and hugs. :)
Hope you enjoyed the post! I certainly liked being BEHIND the camera for a change.
