Rainy Day on South Congress
I had a great time in Austin with my aunt and my mom these past two days..we stayed at the San Jose Hotel.
Maybe all of these plants liked the rain we experienced on Monday, but not me. We didn't let the crappy weather ruin our short trip though.
A slice of apple pie at the Woodland Cafe, my favorite food on South Congress. It reminds me of Twin Peaks. As Agent Cooper would say, "This must be where pies go when they die".
Right down the street was Uncommon Objects at 1512 South Congress Ave. You can spend hours in this store..and I think we did.
A trip to Austin isn't complete without a trip to Feathers-I love this store. The owners Emily and Masha are so sweet. It is extremely well edited and they're always getting new stuff! Mom and I came home with some things we love.
Eventually the sun came out, and I was able to debut one of my purchases-a little 70's navajo-style vest I picked up at New Bohemia.
These pants are 'new' too. I got them a week or two ago in New York at What Goes Around Comes Around. I am obsessed with vintage Yves Saint Laurent bloomers and I finally found myself a good pair! I was totally stressed out when I got to New York, but then I found these and the trip was all worth it. I love them.
These Pradas were the only shoes I brought on the trip-they are from fall 2006. These are some great shoes. Prada Fall 06 was one of my favorite seasons for Prada ever!
Coming up next...my favorite store in Austin! Expect a post soon.
Beautiful shots as usual! Those bloomers are amazing- you look fantastic! http://mocha-soy-whippy.blogspot.com/

Gorgeous.
Wow, these photographs are so lush - fantastic colors!
It's always exciting to see Uncommon Objects
through different people's lenses - it's always changing,
so I love trying to capture the little worlds we create in the
different areas of the shop. We have a flickr group for the shop,
for people to add their images:

Hi Jane,
I live in Austin, and I love Uncommon Objects and Feathers. South Congress is rather fun. Next time you're in Austin, you should try to come to First Thursday: http://www.firstthursday.info/
I really adore your blog. Thanks for sharing. Can I ask what kind of camera you usually use? I've been looking for a great camera. Thanks.
Aw, I love the Twin Peaks reference! Every time I see a pie I think of Agent Cooper :D

Those pants are well match with the shoes! You have great taste!
Next time you're in NY you should try Amarcord vintage in Soho- they get lots of great YSL stuff.
Hello Jane (or Jane afficianados)-
What sort of camera do you (does she) use?

This looks really nice!
I am dying over those bloomers - ridiculously great.
Also, that store looks like such a fun place to browse.
love the hotel. stores look amazing. but i think that your vest would look better with longer, "flou" pants. they would set off the shape, graphics and color of the top much more impressively. the personality of the bloomers and their soft but noticeable shape as opposed to the vest's slight element of hardness lessen the impact of your outfit. and the bottom of longer, wide silk pants would balance out the width of the top better.
She is so so gorgeous that she looks beautiful in any dress. And the place is excellent which are in photos. Keep posting such beautiful photographs.
Totally adore your outfit, esp. that unique vest!

I love these shoes, they are the most perfect I've every seen!
OMG. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the last outfit!!!
and to think that 11 years ago the san jose was a giant crack den.
I applaud your ability to capture everyday life and make it outstanding. I could taste the apple pie in the Twin Peaks reference - looks like a good time!

I was in NY this past summer and went to What Goes Around Comes Around and fell in love with those pants...but unfortunatly didn't get them
