My entry into Lovecraft was eventful. Their spring door shut on my shoe heel and popped it off…read more Thus, this store has made an indelible impression upon my first visit. Be very careful as you open their door. Lovecraft is located in East Austin on 11th St. Their name comes from a 1990's Texas speakeasy that was creative and diverse. Lovecraft is women owned and operated small business with ethically made goods and sustainable brands. They also focus on emerging and new designers. This was my last stop in the boutique trifecta. Lovecraft is where fantasy meets whimsical, while making a lasting statement. Every items feel unique and one of a kind. I envision this store for gifts for the hard to shop for people. The store manager categorized the shop as apothecary (one of those dreamy, sensory‑filled shops with earthy scents to the beautifully crafted herbal blends. Focus is on wellness, ritual, and natural ingredients.) Price ranges from reasonable to expensive.

I was so glad to see this spot was still here when I visited Austin again a few weeks ago!…read more I visited this fun store about 5+ years ago when visiting a friend who lives in Texas and I remembered on this trip that they have a table with a bunch of crystals on it. We were nearby having lunch and walked over and it's still there! Tons of beautiful crystals and I was able to get a Rose quartz and two smokey quartz towers - all really good quality for insanely good prices. They have some great vintage clothing inside and some cute accessories and fun items. Great location near to some other cool shops and finds and Hillside Pharmacy for fabulous bites. Super friendly staff who wrapped my gems up with love and care for the trip back to VA. A+

Charm School Vintage is one of my favorite stores in our neighborhood…read more They've carefully curated vintage pieces with western flair (clothing, jewelry, etc). In addition, you'll be able to find items from various eras as far back as the 30s through the 70s. I've seen some stuff there even older than the 30s. Everything is of exceptional quality and condition. Not only do they sell but they buy as well. If you've got vintage wear you'd like to get rid of, try them. They give cash or credit for things they'll buy from folks. As with most stores like this, you'll get more in store credit for your stuff. Fun fact: they've also got a location in Waco.

Oh man! There's nothing else like Aro in Austin- or anywhere else, tbh. It's a tiny storefront that…read moreis filled with sunshine, plants, and the most exciting collection of jewelry you will ever find. (They also have some home goods, stationery, and clothes, but the jewelry is the true star.) Leslie, the owner, (who is super sweet by the way) stocks hard to find jewelry lines from emerging designers. There are different styles (chunky statement necklaces, so-small-they're-almost-invisible earrings, etc) but everything is artfully made and so so beautiful. Whenever I visit, I want it all. Plus, the shop itself is so pretty that I always end up snapping a couple pics on my phone for home decor inspiration. Since everything is made by legit designers, the price tags are definitely not what you'd find at Forever 21. But, there's a pretty good range- In addition to the $200 things I really want, I always find $40 or $50 things I really want. In conclusion, anyone who needs to buy me a present, go here pls!

Really like this store. I've had no issue with customer service like some of the other reviewers…read more It was moderately busy when I went in, so I wasn't swarmed by employees but I was helped out when I needed it. They have some really gorgeous pieces, most of which are out of my price range unfortunately. However, they had a small selection of sale items and I found a wonderful romper for a wedding I was attending. It was very marked down too, got it for like $30.

Thank you Esby for changing that. I'm an Instagram junkie. It's my one vice. I gave up FB and I never tweeted a day in my life soooo...I saw Nikishia Brunson posted a picture of the Duffy Jumper....I fell out of my chair and was determined to get it. Do the clothes here come with a really steep price tag? Yes. More importantly---do you like and appreciate quality over quantity. I'm not the girl who is going to be able to come in here and by a $300 jumper and a $200 shirt and some other goodies. But I am the woman who will carefully and thoughtfully plan a budget so that a collect classic, beautiful, timeless pieces in my wardrobe that are jaw droppers. The store is located off of first---you'll have to park on an offshoot street and the entrance is on the side of the building that faces 1st. Inside it's bright and crisp and clean and deliciously fragrant. The folks who work here radiate a kindness and friendliness that's really balanced. I didn't feel like someone was all over my energy, but was thoughtfully recommending and enlightening me on what they had to offer. DEFINITELY check out their fragrances. (I'll be back for that!) they are truly unique and unexpected. Oh! Something to note. I am not your typical body shape. Lol. I'm curvy and and have to really carefully figure out how to fit all my junk into the trunk. The Duffy Jumper wasn't going to drape gracefully on my body. I was going to hug my curves. And for a girl who LOVES fashion, and is perpetually let down by how it doesn't accommodate my curvy frame---I was pleasantly surprised by how the clothes worked for my frame. All in all, a really lovely shop and one that makes me go..."oh ok Austin.....maybe you do have something to offer me in the ways of fashion."

I visited the Austin location in search of a classic crew cashmere sweater for an upcoming trip…read more(didn't want to pack my heavier cashmere tops) and was pleased to find them available in store. However, color options were limited at the time - gray and canvas (oatmeal). I tried them on and purchased the Small size as I found the fit a bit larger on my frame. The cashmere crew was comfy and I wore a base layer underneath (cotton long sleeve tee) . I was pleased to grab the second sweater (canvas) on sale. Overall solid shopping experience and good value considering other cashmere brands are on the higher price points. It's nice to own various cashmere pieces from good value buys to high end luxury. Personally, Everlane sweaters are priced just right for those on the fence, you won't be disappointed.

Between the hospitality and the uniqueness of the items, I couldn't leave without making a few purchases. This is as much about inspiration as it is about finding something special.
