Shop Austin - Saturday Stroll

It's another beautiful weekend morning... What's a bright-eyed Styleshaker to do? We just happen to have a few ideas.

Today's Mission: Food, fitness, fun (and maybe a little shopping) in the West End district.

Sure, you probably know about London's theater-saturated West End, but Austin has an area known as the West End, too - and it's home to some of our favorite spots. Defined as the range of blocks between West Sixth Street and Enfield Road and West Lynn Street and Lamar Boulevard, it's a close-in corner of the city worth getting to know.

Start your day at historic Nau's Enfield Drug (1115 West Lynn St., 476.1221), a pharmacy and drugstore with a lunch counter at the back. Breakfast here is an unadorned affair. Choose a perch on an old-school ice-cream parlor chair, order up and egg special and enjoy that special buzz that only diner coffee can impart.

If you'd rather go contemporary than historic, Galaxy Café (1000 West Lynn St., 478.3434), across the street, offers a zany menu of round-the-world specials in a hip, airy dining room.

After breakfast, browsing. Pop across the street to El Interior (1009 West Lynn St., 474.8680) to ogle imported bead necklaces, colorful Mexican blouses and unique tote bags your gal pals definitely won't have. Nothing in the shop will break the bank, so pick up a trinket if you feel so inclined.

Next point the car to Fetish (1112 N. Lamar Blvd., Ste. E, 457.1007) for the small but punch-packing collection of floaty tops, tailored bottoms and best of all, shoes! Snap up Sigerson Morrison's exquisite flats or Taryn Rose's feminine creations.

Shoes alone doth not an outfit make, so head to Hem (908-B W. 12th St., 478.5326), in the shopping complex just across Lamar Blvd. Fall into a denim daze as you try out cutting-edge styles from the likes of Serfontaine and J Brand Jeans.

Katie Frediman the owner of Solid Gold has mac skills in picking out the latest and greatest. Her most recent find is KNOX, a Brooklyn based line of handbags. This collection has most recently caught the editorial interests of those word smiths at Daily Candy. In fact, I placed this bag in the Fox 7 Teen Style segment just last week.

The distinctive shapes, substantial hardware and matted colors promises something new. Stop by Solid Gold to check these notable tote-ables out.

Wellness - One Outfit At A Time

Lululemon's Austin showroom will be the first introduction of it's clothing collection to the Austin community. The showroom located at 3700 Kerbey Lane will offer a variety of classes, demos, and health-related seminars to its guests.

Starting on Saturday, September 8 lululemon will offer an ongoing hour-long yoga or fitness class that will be held every week at the showroom. The classes will be taught by Austin's true blue "sweaty sweethearts" fitness instructors (you know the girls that live to sweat and thrive off that adrenaline kick -SLASH- 24/7 twinkle). The Austin showroom will be open on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.

styleshaker insider: Lululemon has 63 locations across the globe. This Canada based company will attempt to provide Austin's sweaty sweethearts something new.

A tall order considering Austin based Bettysport and Erebelle both have the market cornered on making Austin's "sweaty sweethearts" look good and feel great.

Kudos to those sweaty sweethearts -SLASH- adrenaline junkies. SHAKE ON!!!

Shop Austin - By George

Austin's first and foremost fashion standby has gone designer, bringing truly gasp-worthy garb from the likes of Marni, Derek Lam and the lads at Proenza Schouler to the Sixth and Lamar location. Last we popped in, spring merchandise was flying fast at 75 percent off and fall had begun to arrive. So hurry by and see what's left on the sale racks in your size. While you're there, pick up cult-favorite, ultra-cushy Marni ballet flats, now available in boot form. You'll also love the leather-free Stella McCartney handbags and other status-stimulating totes.
