For The Music Lovers

Being 20 is definitely a curse when you want to see some big bands for free at SXSW.  It seems like, this year, all the free shows are 21+.  Don't they know that I only have a few more months to the wonderful age.  Why must you discriminate?!  I just want to listen to some good tunes!  Well anyways, I was in Austin Tuesday afternoon and I don't know if it was just because it was a Tuesday or I was going to the wrong places, but it seemed like no one was dressed to impress.  Not even me!

Moving on, I saw a couple bands (literally).  My first stop was Red River Noise where I saw The Harms.  A band from the beautiful Austin, TX.  This three girl one guy band describe their music as "femme fatale siren songs inspired by all the music goddesses and gods that have come before us."

On my way back into downtown Austin I saw these guys.  I mean people already think we ride around on horses so let's make sure the whole world knows its a fact.

After getting back to downtown ATX and not being able to get into ANYTHING, I finally went to the Mohawk.  My most favorite venue in Austin well because the dudes at the Mohawk are just cool and they have a bear inside.  Enough said.  At the Mohawk, I saw Natural Child.  I fell in love with this rock n' roll trio from Nashville, TN almost immediately!

I look forward to being back in Austin on Saturday and Sunday.  I have some exciting things happening this weekend and I look forward to sharing with you!

Till next time.

Spring Break Is Upon Us!

Hey guys!  So it has been a while since we've posted on the blog.  Well FashioNation has a lot of big things in store for you.  We have been planning for Boxer Night and it is going to be bigger and better than ever!!  But you will have to wait for details on that.  Until then, I wanted to share with you something I am going to be working on this week.  It's spring break!  For some of you that means Padre, Panama City, Cabo, or even home.  For me, it means another week of music and fashion at SXSW.  South by is the best time of the year for me.  Unfortunately, I won't be able to be in Austin all week long (I should have taken more days off of work).  Anyways, I am going to update you guys on street style from all over the world! It is going to be an exciting week and I cannot wait!

Now during this time, if you are in Austin and you see a great outfit, don't be afraid to snap a pic and send it my way to be featured on the blog!  Email it to amberrana3@gmail.com with your name, their name, where they are from, their blog url, and your blog url!  Also, email your spring break tales!  We want to hear all about your adventures!

Remember to have fun and be safe!
