Where are the Best Accessories in Austin, Texas?
I’ve been shopping at Shiki for years!! The clothes and jewelry selections are beautiful! I can always find something there. It’s my go to for boutique shopping in town. The employees at Shiki are SO SWEET and truly genuine! Unlike the vast majority of boutiques in town with pushy sales people or employees who won’t give you a second glance if you don’t look like a million bucks. Karen and Meredith are the two main girls that work at Shiki. Both women will remember you, and start talking to you like you’re old friends. Regardless, everyone who works there rocks!! The new store is nice but not really everyday wearable. Plus, its gotten really expensive, the lighting is terrible, and there is never anywhere to park! Still it’s the best women’s store in town! Pros + Clothing, StaffCons – Lighting, Parking, Price
Though the clothing is very cute, the prices are outrageous, I’m a fashion junky but even I’m not willing to pay $65 for a poorly sewn tank dress. To give them credit they have some really good sales (I bought some silver eyeliner for $4.50 and a pair of black and white leg warmers for $3.50!), but everything that’s priced without markdown is definately overpriced. I couldn’t bring myself to even touch half the clothes without first lifting the tag for a look at the price. They run in the same circle as Strut, cute clothes, not always of the best quality, but I’d much rather go to Strut just because the prices are a little more reasonable. Pros + Fun atmosphere, cute clothesCons – Parking, the store is a hassle to get to if you’re coming from the north on lamar, way overpriced, not very attentive staff.
I have been shopping at Goodie Two Shoes for years and have always been able to find something fun and affordable with every visit, whether I found exactly what I was originally looking for or not. In my experiences, the owner and staff have always been more than happy to answer any questions or help find my shoe size, even if it means extensive digging in the stockroom. (I have tiny feet and employee trips to the back room are standard procedure when I shoe shop; stores with patient employees are few and far between.)I need new shoes for spring (specifically jellies like I wore when I was 8 in 1989!) and Goodie Two Shoes will be the first place I check out this weekend. Note: the lot behind the store makes it easy to avoid the nightmare that is South Congress parking!Pros + friendly service, wide selection of shoe sizes and stylesCons – quality isn’t high; you’re buying one/two-season trends
I was showing a friend around Austin one day and we actually just stumbled upon this store. The people are very welcoming- they greet everyone when they come in the door. Not sure what it is but it smells GREAT inside. They have everything a girl would need, clothes, handbags, jewelry, perfume, and even candles. I would reccomend this boutique to anyone!Pros + Quality items, large assortment of clothes.Cons – Parking, and its hard to find from Bee Caves.
We love to be trend setters and if you are anything like us Apricot Lane is the place to be! They only carry a few of the same fashions so you will never be caught at a party with someone else wearing what you are wearing! (I hate it when that happens) Also all of their styles are fresh and amazing. Everytime I or my daughter are wearing something from Apricot Lane the compliments keep coming and everyone wants to know where we got it. They also throw the most amazing fashion parties, all you have to do is show up and they provide the food and drinks. Now that’s my kind of party! If you looking for original designs and style that can’t be duplicated, Apricot Lane is the place to go!Pros + Only carry a few of the same styles, Fun fashion parties!Cons – none
