Not one bit of flair, just unimaginative and unremarkable. The kind of clothing you see on women coming to Austin for a bachelorette party. Sophisticated people in Austin do not dress like that. You need to find a new person for "fashion" issues in the future. On another note - the men's shorts from By George for $470 were a joke. If I saw a guy wearing those in a bar, I'd pass my wine through my nose.

I then start planning who will go with me for the free drinks, snacks and cupcakes, the goodie bag, the coupon giveaway, the so on and so forth. Every now and then an event is held in a place that has a clearance rack, which has it's own clearance rack, which is where you might find me making a fabulous fashion discovery. Oh Tribeza, no one should hate on you.

I am a woman who loves magazines and Austin, so you'd think I'd naturally be in lust with Austin…read moreWoman magazine. To be honest, I'm on the fence about this local publication. First, the positives. I applaud Austin for supporting print media that highlights the successes of our hometown heroines, and I applaud founder Melinda Maine Garvey for breaking ground in a competitive market. Austin Woman began in 2002. In less than five years they've established a circulation of over 25,000 with distribution at over 600 Austin hot spots. Nice. My other positive? They generally select pretty cool women to highlight. I was delighted with their recent feature on Natalie Maines, and they've been discerning (in a good way) with their broad range of picks. Unfortunately, the articles are not wholly impressive. The quality of the composition is mediocre and the writing style is plain ole vanilla. I often spot grammatical errors and run-on sentences (this isn't one, is it?) I suppose this is nit-picky, but I like Austin Woman. I worry that these minor issues lower their credibility within the community and present less-than-stellar essays on some of our most notable and notorious. I grab an issue of Austin Woman each month. Hopefully I'll pick it up one day and be blown away by the copy.

I am so sad to write this review because I sincerely looked up to Austin Woman as a true icon in…read morethe community. However after becoming their customer I have since changed my mind. I was sold on monthly advertising for thousands per month and became very excited to advertise in their magazine. Unfortunately, print ads just aren't what they used to be and my business saw a very small return on this. They trapped me into a year long contract, but did not produce results. Their bill collections practice was unethical and illegal. When I found myself in a position of paying thousands a month with literally little to no return on my investment I begged for a cancellation and payment plan, but they had no mercy. The husband of the owner harassed my employees without my permission and even engaged in yelling over the phone with threats of a lawsuit and refusal to work out a payment plan for my small business. I was not only horrified that he discussed my private billing matters illegally with employees without my permission to my front desk staff. I filed an official complaint and request to stop several times (to only discuss my billing matters wirh me). Nonetheless, they used this unlawful tactic as an attempt to collect a debt. I had to file an official complaint with the federal trade commission due to ongoing illegal harassment and illegal billing practices. I encourage anyone who has experienced illegal billing collection methods from this company to file an official report with the FTC to fight against humiliation and unethical bill collection practice. This company doesn't stand behind their sales claims and doesn't care about you or your small business.

We took your advice and we were disappointed. Maybe this one shouldn't have made your list.

This magazine rules! Study Breaks is aimed at the local…read morecollege student. They show lots of pics and advertising related to partying, relaxing, and studying. I think it's a monthly magazine, with special editions for Spring Break. Their pullout Happy Hour Guide is very useful. They show a grid of all the local pubs and bars offering happy hours, what and when they are, and where they are. Somebody has put a lot of research into the bars to find out all this info, and saves the thrifty student a lot of time and money. Most of the bars are located in the local university's vicinity. Their pictures are all of local places, with local people looking beautiful and chugging beer, dancing and having fun. The advertisements in here are slick, full color ads. They're usually for local bars and beer brands. I tend to check out the ads, as they often announce concerts and festivals. I appreciate the column where they interview a random Millennial, and ask them questions to get a glimpse into the generation. Pokemon is mentioned most of the time. A lot of the columns are features like how Maxim Magazine works- top 3 lists, and most articles are shorter than this Yelp review. There's sometimes coupons in here for freebies from local restaurants aimed at students. I believe that currently, Study Breaks serves UT, UTSA, Texas State, and Texas Tech.

They produce work that is consistently hip, hot, clever and on-point no matter the chief individual working on a project. Their office is supremely cool (even if I did find a cockroach in the bathroom (: ) and makes me totally jealous. I only wish my "pod" (mini cubicle) could be full of such inspiring design! Your band needs them. Your brand needs them. Your brain might just need them. To disclose properly: I know one of the guys here personally. He's awesome. I know nothing about their rates or ability to meet deadlines, but some of my (and your) favorite bands and other cool companies come to them, and that's a pretty good endorsement if you ask me! Their limited edition prints and the work they've all done before (and during) their time at Decoder Ring is equally impressive.

These guys are cool man. Totally cool.

Foodie News! Every Yelper should be familiar with this…read moremagazine. It's available at local restaurants, bars and markets across Austin. It's a free, monthly full color publication with local food reporting, interviews, advertisements, and photos. Eat & Drink serves large cities across the country, and each city has its own edition. The magazine features locally grown foods and ingredients, and are all things that you should be able to find in the local farmers market, or around Austin. It makes it easy to obtain the foods featured in the magazine. Flipping through each page, my mouth waters at the photo spreads. This magazine doesn't talk about things that major chains are doing- it's all local people that they discuss and interview. Most of the things are focused on community, the environment, and local news. They usually feature recipes of the dishes featured that showcase local ingredients. The advertising in here is pretty great too- it's a lot of small businesses promoting their events. You can subscribe to this magazine by the mail, or just pick it up for free at your favorite local restaurant.

Eat and Drink Austin is a magazine that features and reviews restaurants citywide. The reviews are incredibly thorough and seemingly unbiased. I've discovered many places that I'd like to visit (a few that I actually have), just by reading this magazine. The current edition begins with a breakdown of all things new and improved in the Austin restaurant life. It discusses where new restaurants are going to be, where old ones are moving to, and where old ones are expanding to (I just learned that Hyde Park Bar and Grill is opening/has opened a second location on West Gate). The rest of the magazine features different reviews of various eateries of the city. Towards the end, there's a restaurant listing and a fairly detailed map, showing where they are. A new feature, on the last page, is called "Where can I find..." This edition asks, where can I find pizza. It recommends various local pizza joints all over the city, so you don't have to resort to the chains. One downside, which is actually an upside to me, is the massive amount of advertisements. I feel, though, that if I discover someplace new in these ads, that it's totally worth going through! For the record, I've picked up Eat and Drink Austin at the Draught House and I think the time I went to Magnolia Cafe...just a couple spots where you can find this awesome publication!
