Our first shopping stop: SoCo. On South Congress Avenue, two to three blocks are filled with a diverse selection of funky stores. Here you’ll find boot shops, vintage clothing, galleries, trendy outfitters, antiques, and more, including the costume store Lucy in Disguise with Diamonds (www.LucyInDisguise.com) where Bob Dylan is rumored to have shopped for retro outfits. We spent some time in the vintage store Feathers (512- 912-9779), trendy boutique By George (http://www.bygeorgeaustin.com/), folk art gallery Yard Dog (www.YardDog.com), local fashion house Parts & Labour (http://PartsAndLabour.BlogSpot.com), jewelry and gifts at Maya (http://www.mayastar.com/), and the all black boutique Blackmail (http://www.blackmailboutique.com/).We also indulged in some shopping on Second Street, which housed great store and trendy boutiques. We visited several, including Girl Next Door (http://www.girlnextdooraustin.com/) which showcased some amazing jewelry and fashions, Estilo (512-236-0488) with a great selection of men and women’s clothing, Mercury Design Studio (http://www.mercurydesignstudio.com/) with cool home furnishings and gifts, Shiki (http://www.shopshiki.com/) that had several items I wanted to take home, and Peyton’s Place (http://www.peytonplaceaustin.com/) for some fashion deals.
