I'm obsessed with polka dots lately, so today I thought I'd share my fav polka dot items. All of these are currently on my wishlist, just in case you're wondering. And, you know, have cash burning a hole in your pocket. 😉 Dresses Polka Dot Dresses by...
This may be a bit premature to call a favorite, as I haven't actually attended quite yet. But, judging by how excited (and a tad nervous) I am about this weekend, it should be pretty awesome. So, this week's Friday Favorite is the Texas Style Council Blogger...
This past Wednesday was the annual Taste of Austin event. For those not in the know, it's a big foodie event that showcases Austin-area restaurants and caterers. You buy a ticket to get in the door, and then you wander around the many different booths, getting samples...
Meet The Staves. This is one of my new favorite bands - beautiful voices and harmonies. They opened for The Civil Wars at the show I went to here in Austin, and I was instantly hooked. Now, normally, all-girl bands aren't my thing. I tend towards more of the...
I've been a fan of ModCloth for quite awhile now (as evidenced by frequent appearance of their items in my outfit posts), so I am very excited to announce that I've been selected as a 2012 Style Ambassador for ModCloth! In other words, I'll be part of their stylist...
Ladies and gentlemen, my latest addiction: Inspiration boards on color, style or event type. Wishlists that can span as many different sites and shops as you want. Yummy food recipes with delicious pictures. Funny things. Cute things. Pinterest has and is all of this,...
Today's recipe brought to you by my Mexican-food-loving boyfriend, Ian, who has gotten me addicted to it as well (probably a good thing, since we are in Texas and all). He's the stud you'll see assembling things in the pics below. These are simple and delicious. And I...
My lil' sis is coming to visit this weekend! She's been a mere 2 hours away since August, but since her life has been signed over to the USAF, her free time has generally not been her own, and so I've only seen her twice here in Texas. But this weekend she has a 3-day...
Music can be very powerful to me, but it seems like most of this last year I kind of let slide my appreciation and exploration of it. So the last few weeks I've tried to focus on discovering a lot of new music/bands, and re-discovering some old goodies that I hadn't...
So, as you may have assumed, we survived the trip up north. Even better, the relationship with the boy survived exposure to teen Amanda geekdom and nosy family questions. 🙂 It was a good time. I got to see my sisters and mom, and a big chunk of the extended family. I...
Hi, I’m Amanda!
I’m a self-employed graphic designer by day, and a crafty hungry bookworm by night. Dragonflight Dreams is where I write about books, recipes, internet goodies, life things, crafty projects, Austin happenings, and more.
Thanks for stopping by!
