For The Love Of The Weekend Getaway - Austin Edition


We are back and rested after a very fun weekend away in Austin, Texas. My husband was a panel speaker at the prestigious Raptor House where he spoke about technology and the internet as well as the spectrum crisis which he has devoted his career to solving. It was so informative yet really fun to combine creative types along with finance people to get interesting conversations going. I mean where else do you get music, technology, film and culture all in one event? The best part was how laid back it was. I didn't feel an ounce of pretentious behavior amongst all these big players in their respective fields which just set the mood for a relaxed networking environment. I also was surprised how much was relevant to me and this little blog here.  I got so much out of listening to the variety of guest speakers over the course of the two day event as well enjoyed private concerts with Elle King, Melanie Fiona, Big Sean and Nick Jonas.  Between discussions we ventured out to explore the city a bit where I snapped up a few photos. Thank you to my friends for all their recommendations, we definitely enjoyed every delicious bite of food in Austin's incredible restaurant/food truck scene!

The beautiful Hotel St. Cecilia & the sweet ride {seriously want} that was out front. 



Stage at Raptor House. 



Some vintage shopping at Uncommon Objects.




Got our country gear fix at Allen's Boots


Delicious lunch at the Austin Motel, Snack Bar where mimosas are served in a chemistry beaker, yes please. 




Carnitas tacos at Torchy's. It really as a damn good taco!


The most decadent donuts at Gourdough's


Want more of where to eat, sleep and stay in Austin? I found these three city guides - Domaine HomeCamille Styles & The Every Girl super helpful and after seeing them in person, they are pretty spot on for the best of the best the city has to offer!

Deep In The Heart Of Texas



We are off once again, this time to the fabulous state of Texas! I am so excited to return to the lone star state, my first experience was also for work many years ago in Dallas which didn't allow for any fun. This time we are heading to Austin to attend some of the conferences at SXSW and I get to see my man speak on a panel about technology, so proud. I asked if it would be impolite of me to scream "thats my man" followed with an Arsenio Hall like arm pumping gesture from the back row which he replied..."maybe you should stay back at the hotel". Soon I reluctantly promised to be on my best behavior and got my invitation back. While we have work on the agenda, I am hoping for a little exploring on Sunday to see this city I have heard so many great things about. I can already tell I will I want to go back as my wish list for places to go & see is very long. I hope you have a great weekend and see you all back here next week!

While festival clothing is definitely the look most will have there, I had to pack a bit more conservatively for work. Two outfits that I packed and loved will be making the journey with me...that is if my luggage doesn't get lost - fingers crossed!
