GARDEN & GUN: THE BEST OF SOUTHERN STYLE

Shopping at Sunroom (which moves to Austin’s South Congress Hotel this fall) is a little like going on vacation to a far-flung locale and coming back with something equal parts memento and wearable art. The owner, Lucy Jolis, grew up in Virginia, but her family’s move to California when she was in high school honed her love of all things tied to sun and surf. From ready-to-wear looks by Electric Feathers to her stock of Venezuelan Yosuzi hats to beaded creations by Texas-based Growing Jewelry, Jolis seeks out pieces with a one-of-a-kind spirit. “Our customers don’t want a garment that’s been mass-produced,” she says. “They want something different.”
