    Drove From San Antonio To Austin To Run On Ladybird Trail

    Austin is one of our favorite day trips to take. It’s a short drive from San Antonio. So it’s very easy to go for the day and come back home. Staying in one of their posh hotels is always an option. But for me, I love sleeping in my own bed. I don’t have to worry about when the sheets were washed, who laid in the bed before me, bed bugs, dirty sinks or anything else that makes me anxious about a hotel. So, if going home to sleep in my bed is an option, that’s what I’m doing.

    With that being said, we went to Austin for the weekend. Lets say the weekend days because we went home each night to sleep.

    Ladybird Trail isn’t new to us. Although, it’s been a while since we ran on the trails there. It’s always nice but since Summer is gone and Fall has arrived. It’s even better! The weather was perfect. The fall colors made it even more beautiful and the peaceful lake made it feel like we were in an entirely new place.

    Two City Fabric Tour + What Do You Look For In A Dress?

    A new collection from Fashion Not Fear is in the making. I am currently in the planning stage, so nothing has actually been made yet. As a matter of fact, the only things done is deciding on a color scheme and simple sketches of some ideas.

    With these two pieces in mind, it was time to get some fabric ideas. My love of travel means I would do anything to do a road trip. Austin and Houston would be good placing to source fabric. Sounded like it was time for a fabric road trip!

    Austin was first up. Although, I’ve spent many days and nights in Austin, this would be my first time looking for fabric. It takes about 45 minutes to an hour to get there from my home. So, it is the perfect distance to do ANYTHING and come back the same day. Honestly, my fiancé and I are good for hitting up happy hour or taking our bikes to ride around downtown.

    Even though this was my first time looking, I knew exactly which store I wanted to go to. I follow this store on IG. They seemed to offer unique options. Let’s go!

    We hit the road early, ate at our favorite poke restaurant and headed out. My Google search and Maps apps both said the store was closed but I prayed it was a mistake.

    It wasn’t.

    After checking out a few more stores; it was time to move around.

    Next up…Houston. As soon as I entered H-town, I found some hot spots.

    Luckily, I was successful in finding fabric, trimmings, and fabric basics so the Houston trip was definitely a success.

    The collection is something I’m already proud of. I am aiming for each piece to have the feminine details that make us feel pretty that we all love.

    Everyone likes something different when it comes to girly, dresses. What are some feminine details you like to see in a dress?? Is it lace, chiffon, floral patterns, shoulders out, a certain fit or front split?? What is it?

    Let’s talk. Let me know in the comments what you look for in a dress??
