In an article in The Times UK, the model, actress, Your Finery founder, and Austin resident is referenced as “Andy Roddick’s wife.” Decker shared the article on her Instagram account, thanking the publication for the coverage of her brand while pondering if there’s a world where she won’t just be known as someone’s wife.

TOMS Austin Welcomes Familiar Neighbor to South Congress

When Aviator Nation hosted its grand opening event on South Congress, TOMS Shoes founder and Chief Shoe Giver Blake Mycoskie was in attendance. Not only is TOMS Austin located just down the street, the Aviator Nation brand is owned by his sister Paige Mycoskie.

Located in the former home of American Apparel, Aviator Nation is now open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Aviator Nation launched their Austin store on South Congress this evening, just down the road from TOMS Austin. Fun fact: TOMS is owned by Blake Mycoskie while Aviator Nation is owned by his sister Paige. We snapped this picture of the Arlington, Texas, natives at the store’s grand opening event. The Aviator Nation shop and merch have a totally Austin vibe. From ACL inspired gear (which will also be on sale at the fest) to vibrant Texas sized murals, nods to homegrown Austin artists and musicians and a live music stage, AN fits into SoCo perfectly. Expect monthly in-store events that support local bands and artists with the goal of creating a rad hangout for Austin's community of creatives. But you don’t have to wait for a special event to visit the store. Check it out at 1325 South Congress Avenue (formerly the home of American Apparel).
