Lets talk shoes. Austin is notorious for being an outdoor walking city and there is no better way to walk around town then to do it wearing your ever so stylish TOMS shoes. TOMS shoes are a staple piece that can be found in pretty much any girl and/or guys closet. While Austinites are running around town wearing the latest fashion, so are the less fortunate children around the world. TOMS Shoes is a company that matches every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes that are given to a child in need. One for One. The program was started in 2006 by world traveler, Blake Mycoskie and was adopted into the Austin culture. 
Lets talk feathers. Feathers? Yes, feathers are this years must have hair accessory. If you don't have a couple thin strands of feathers attached in your hair as hair extensions then you are not "Austin". Many of the local salons are adding feathers to their list of regular services due to the high demand. Each strand is generally about $10 and the average number girls typically choose to fuse into their hair is around 6. What is more hippie than that?
Lets talk hats. With all of this Austin heat, hats are a major accessory that can be seen being worn around town by both men and women. Baseball hats you ask? Absolutely not. Baseball hats are a thing of past, it is all about the big brimmed sun hats and the fedoras these days. They are relatively inexpensive and can be found at stores across town.If you have your ultra hipster TOMS shoes, your hippie feather hair extensions and your supper sassy hat then you are Austin ready. If not, get on it. The links provided below will help you to Keep Austin Weird: TOMS Shoes, Fedora hat, Splendor (feather extensions)
