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!

Ive only heard amazing things about that event and I am really looking forward to attending next year. It’ll also be my first time (or second time) in Texas, as I am planning to go this summer. But we’ll see
yay!

I like your footwear, they appear comfortable along with being stylish.
Do the sandals from nine west hurt the back of your heel? Those kind of shoes (flats with back zippers) always rub my heel raw!!
