I've been running around Austin like crazy today!
Been shopping a lot too…whoops..
My mom and my sister are at home. It's just me and my dad here in Austin. He's so patient with me. He doesn't even mind when I ask him annoying girl questions-"Did I get my legs too orange??" "Should I roll my pants up or leave them uncuffed??" "Can you see my underwear through this??"
Thanks dad, you're rad….
It's so crazy here! Traffic and everything…still not precisely sure what I'm going to do tonight! So many shows but its kinda hard when you're not over 21 (or 18!! bah!)
Anyways I've got such great things to blog about! But I'm running short on time so I'll hold off on that stuff. For now, here is what I wore today. I'm standing outside of Feathers vintage boutique, one of my favorite stops here in Austin! I'll be back there tomorrow too to meet the owners and check out new stuff. Fun!
Oops I snagged my shirt. Oh, drats. Wearing a bell sleeve lace shirt from Forever 21, green silk organza skirt from Anthropologie, a belt from my mom's old store in the eighties, Alex and Chloe deerhorn necklace with an old cross, American Apparel hat, and Givenchy wedges.
Sorry for posting outfits with this hat so much.
I really love this hat though. Confession: today I picked up the brown and the grey versions of this hat too. Whoops. Looks like you'll be seeing more of them, if youre a regular Sea of Shoes reader…
To make this post more worth your while, here are some really really cute dogs.
I met them today when I met up with Esti Choi in her new store, Buy Definition. Expect a post about this amazing treasure trove in the next few days!
Awwwwwwwwwww…..
Must get going!
xx jane
Awww, she has a Westie. I have one, too. That shirt is amazing. I have extreme envy.
In order of awesomeness- 1) shoes, 2) doggies, 3) hat, 4)necklace. I bet the grey version of the hat is gorgeous!

I find myself wanting to wear that hat with every outfit too ^^;
I will never tire of seeing that hat, and plan to get one in black & grey ;) I’ve had a similar one in beige I love. LOVE that Anthropologie skirt & can’t get enough of it either ;) Hope you’re having a blast in Austin ! Those dogs are too cute!

I have to get one of those hats, I see everyone posting with them and they look amazing. The skirt and belt combo is especially nice!
eee these dogs are so so cute! enjoy houston with your dad
I absolutely a d o r e your outfit! The green skirt with the lace top is genius. But, you look like you have a cute body, why not show it off in some cute fitted jeans/ trousers? Just a suggestion though, anyhow.. Love the site, keep it up!

can i please have that bostie baby? look at that sweet face!
Austin is pretty awesome, huh? the buffalo exchange on the drag is a regular stop for me, though I know there’s one up in Dallas somewhere too. cute outfit and that hats are adorable
I visit Austin yearly to visit family, and I’m not sure I’ve ever been to Feathers! Where in Austin is it?
love your skirt and what a shame about snagging your shirt! :(
haahah this post made me smile, those dogs are extremly cute. And i love the green wall for your picture.

awww. The puppies are so cute. You look great as always Jane. I hope you and your had having a great time in Austin.
See you soon,

The background colors are so complimentary, especially against your skin tone. The buildings remind me of my tropical island home!
Beautiful, stunning photos. :)
that pug is frickin cute!! i have to show him to my boyfriend n_n
you have given that lace top so many liveS!!!!
i love that hat. I really admire how you mix the unexpected and it comes off so perfectly. And those pups are adorable.
I live in Austin and am seriously considering going to Feathers tomorrow and stalking you from behind the racks haha. You’ll probably be really freaked out when you read this : don’t worry I’m just a 17 year old girl! I know I have been turned down twice this SXSW it sucks not being 18/21. Hopefully I’ll work up the nerve to go see you tomorrow!
great outfit. You dress so nicely considering you’re so young. Unlike some teenage blogs you see out there, wearing almost nothing. You are sophistication. I love your style.

visit me sometime.
hi there! i’m a new reader. your shoe collection is amazing! i love your outfits and i wish i have the skills to throw outfits together (haha). :) thanks for the share.
i just found your blog like a week ago and it is great!
i have the same westie , but his black nose changed and now it’s light brown- weird haha ;)
u inspired me to get some nice shoes / strappy sandals on platform from guess , uncomfortable but really pretty ;)
love how your outfit blends in with the backdrop!
I have a westie in texas too!! :D
I love your oufit so much! So pretty and polished. Plus the dogs are supercute! xxoxxo
love the dogs. so wanna hug them :-))
the second dog is just like mine…french bulldog…
rrha i shouldn t read you so often i ran on americanapparel.net to order one like this in grey the first time i saw it here a while ago…now i d like a black one too…not so reasonnable…
Now Jane…The hat is beautiful, absolutely stunning, but you you really need to look into getting some rabbit felt versions. I have one in orange, with a bit wider of a brim, and compared to any wool ones I have ever tried on, it is spectacular. Mine is from a craftsman, a proper hatter, in Florence called Boutique Nadine… The rabbit hats also last much longer, long enough so that you could, theoretically, give them to your children. No doubt the American Apparel version is inexpensive, but I think you would really love the effect of the rabbit version. I’ll snap a photo for you.
As always, I love your blog and your posts, keep it up!
Love!!
I love westies ! So cute. The colour of that skirt is great, and I have major shoe envy over these x
I love westies too, and I love bostons.
I always get the wants looking at your blog.
The shoes are me, and I want a pair of my own :)
I NEED that lace top!
And that Boston Terrier in the last pic is ADORABLE. I want one!

Hi !
You’re looking so good ! :))
By the way, I’m from Poland, I really like Yours blog ;))
I will be there often
Kisses :)
i lived in Texas for 12 years and i never got to go shopping in Austin. sure, i got to see the capital of Texas, but no shopping. and now it’s too late, i live in Florida. lol.
awesome! the feathers girls are friends of mine! when you’ve been in the thrifting resale trade in this town long enough you end up knowing/working with everyone at some point.
like i mentioned to you before, would love a list of your fave places in Austin to shop!
i know being under 21 is a bummer at SXSW but Yelle at Emos tonight and Kanye at the Fader fort…i’m sure your know someone who can get you past the door :)
good luck!
This will not help with the extreme shopping wants but I love this boutique. I’ve been living in Austin for almost 20 years and it’s still my favorite shop.

High end gorgeous boutique. From runway designs to local favorites like HerffChristiansen. A true gem of the city. Great for browsing after lunch at the local Whole Foods Flagship location. Fantastic accessory collection.

Hi, Jane. Love your blog. The Feathers link is wrong. I clicked on it and it sent me to a shop in Ohio. Here is the right link for Feathers in Austin.

The belt is great! Can’t wait to hear more about SXSW. http://isnotfashion.blogspot.com
HEY Jane, check this out —
Flannels is a legit UK designer store and I was just looking on their website (they ship worldwide) and they have some crazy sale reduced Prada and Miu Miu footwear, including stuff from a few seasons back, at 50% off, and in a good range of sizes..
http://www.flannelsfashion.com/sh2243/Prada-Footwear.html?showall=yes
http://www.flannelsfashion.com/sh2368/Women-Sale.html?subshop_id=2249
The rest of their stock is kind of tacky (Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana) because they cater to a non-London crowd of rich brand addicts, but this is really good value Prada + Miu Miu stuff..
where do u get yhour clothes from!!! they are other-worldly
Please give me that hat!
I have had the greatest time in Feathers every time i go! Mascha is great! We talk about Margiela’s and dish about lines… and you were steps away from my friends’ record store!
I just got back from Austin- exhausted but happy!
I love this outfit!! Also, I don’t know if you’ve ever seen her blog “Lulu and your Mom” but Lulu has just started a new blog selling the most amazing designer shoes: shoesandyourmom.blogspot.com. I think you’d absolutely love it!
The hat is great, don’t worry about it. :D I love seeing it reappear in many different forms. I actually love that lace top as well and it goes nicely with the skirt.
Hope you had fun in Austin!
OMG!!! OMG… your outfit at top is probably the cutest, hottest ensemble I have seen this year. Beautiful!
Such a cute outfit. The lace top and lovely skirt go so well together
x
you are like this perfect little doll…you look amazing as always!
Hey Jane!
Just to let you know…. the link that you have to Feathers Boutique is incorrect. The one you have up is from Dayton Ohio.
You look great by the way!
haha glad you loved BuyDefinition! Esti kicks ass and thanks for posting a picture of my Boston Terrier!! <3
I know this is mostly about clothes, but seriously? That Boston Terrier is gorgeous! My mom has one, and I almost always had one in the family while growing up :)
Hi from a fellow blogger in the uk!! i am absolutely crazy for this outfit, you’re so original!! And from what i’ve seen have a shoe collection to die for
xxx

Hi! You look like awesome!! I love most of your shoes.
I am from poland, but i live in Idaho :P there is none good stores so i usually buy on internet!

I have to say this outfit is amazing. One of my favorites that I have seen you wear. I love that shade of green on your skirt.
