Emblazoned with the words “You are Here: 606 Blanco St.,” concrete steps welcome those passing by to Outdoor Voices' first and only brick-and-mortar shop (for now) in the Clarksville Historic District.
Tucked in beside the boutiques of Austin’s Second Street District, Mercury Design Studio’s unique finds from all over the world make a bold statement among a throng of shoppers.
Behind the small, unassuming chalkboard sign on Guadalupe Street marked “Monkies Vintage” lies a diverse selection of items ranging from cowboy boots and denim jackets to ‘90s basketball jerseys, rainbow sequined tops and plastic Ninja Turtle figurines. Serving up an eclectic mix of on-trend retro wears, Monkies can serve students of all styles and price ranges.
The luminous Rae Cosmetics studio sits on W. 2nd street in downtown Austin. Apart from the bright pops of color from the makeup, the interior of the studio is entirely white.
