My good friend Ginger and I meet up every year for a weekend of fabulousness. I live in San Francisco and she lives in Boston. So we always choose somewhere in the middle that we hope is a perfect blend of awesome and amazing. This year’s Girlfriend Getaway pick was Austin. It did not disappoint.
Here’s a snapshot of some of the great stuff we did…
Hotel
We stayed at the Kimpton Hotel Van Zandt. Loved it. Nice touch: the can of Tejas beer at check-in.:)
Sips and Nibbles
Top recommendations: Swift’s Attic and Dai Due for dinner and drinks. Olamaie for brunch (this Peach Sour!)

Shopping
We browsed thousands of boot options at Allen’s Boots.

I scooped up a few unique, heavenly-smelling candles at Spartan.

And we window shopped on 2nd Avenue and South Congress…lots of goodies!Pedicures
Lacquer gets two thumbs up. Note the wine and fabulous mid century light in the background.
