I’ve finally made my first trip to Austin for South by Southwest. I’ve heard so much about SXSW and Austin for so long, I was thrilled to make the trip. You may have seen my last post with what I was packing for my trip to Texas, but now you can see what happened when I finally arrived.

It was a quick trip to Austin to see what the city had to offer. Thanks to instagram and snapchat, I got to check out tons of great local recommendations for my first trip here. I listened to some new artists on 6th Street, tried some unique bites at the food trucks and took a walking tour all over.

My big packing/style tip for SXSW is to pack a lot of flats because I ended up walking a LOT so you want comfortable shoes to really enjoy your day.  My comfortable shoes I wore around Austin were the turntable caged gladiator sandals in tan, a pair of espadrille slides in a cute animal print, and the super comfy Bachney sneakers in taupe.

I wish I had more time to spend in Austin because the city is so cool! It reminded me so much of college but much cooler, makes me wish I went to University of Texas. Everyone was so friendly and everywhere we went was so different from anywhere I’ve been before.

This trip was so short and sweet but I had an incredible time and Austin is for sure on my list of places to re-visit!
