This is where we went out to eat last night. I know, right? How cute is this place? It's The Emerald Restaurant, a genuine Irish-family-run restaurant out in west Austin. And it is amazing. Aside from the obvious Irish cottage setting, they have lace...
If you get the reference in the caption above, we can be geek friends forever. 🙂 This is what I wore yesterday, for no other reason than I felt like wearing a dress. I scored this for all of $8 at Ross during a recent retail therapy session, and I am loving it. I...
It was so beautiful and sunny out today, I thought it was time to bust out this lacy flowy skirt. LOVE this skirt (you may have realized by now I have a deep and abiding love for lace). It is so comfortable and effortless, and the lace overlay gives it a subtle but...

This week was crazy busy with freelance work and my sister's USAF Security Forces graduation on Monday, but I was finally catching up on everything yesterday, so snagged a quick outfit shoot. No special occasion or anything, just a pretty typical kind of outfit for me...
Wednesday's are our weekly date night here in the Casa de Ian & Amanda. Here's a quick peek at what I wore last night, photos courtesy of cameraman Ian. 🙂 Colors: Dusty Purple, Turquoise, Black, Taupe and Silver Dress: ModCloth's Freeway from Commitments Dress...
The sun was out and the temperature much more friendly today, so I finally got to play with my new camera and do an outfit post. And holy smokes, you guys - having a remote to fire the camera makes things SO MUCH EASIER! Not to mention having a much better camera to...
