What I Wore: the 4th

Today is not only our nation's birthday (happy 4th!), but also the birthday of my little furkid. Happy 2nd birthday, Sienna! ๐Ÿ™‚ I hope you enjoyed the bits of bacon last night, and the peanut butter goodies and new toy you get today.   My version of red, white,...

Mini What I Wore: to the Symphony

Last night was a fun outing to dinner and then the geeky-but-awesome Zelda Symphony with some friends. I was all excited about this outfit, and had planned to get some outfit post pictures with my trusty Nikon and tripod before heading out. I had it all set up, hit...

What I Wore: Chevron Breezy

What I Wore: Chevron Breezy

  I wore this earlier this week, just a typical day working from home and running a few errands. More proof that I'm addicted to stripes. Story about this skirt: I was at the mall (I know) visiting the Texas Store for goodies to send to my Foodie Pen Pal. I...

What I Wore: Minty Fresh

What I Wore: Minty Fresh

A further venture into the colored denim world: mint jeans! These were admittedly less scary than the bright red ones, and way easier to find things to pair with. I like 'em. This is what I wore yesterday (my blogiversary!) around the house and out to run errands. It...

What I Wore: Foxy & Red

  This is what I wore yesterday for the boyfriend's birthday festivities. We went and saw the Avengers at a local dine-in movie theater, so I didn't need to get too dressed up, but still wanted to look nice. He delighted in calling me his 'foxy lady' all night,...

What I Wore: Floral Denim

What I Wore: Floral Denim

  I know. I didn't think I'd ever be typing the words in that title, either. In my defense, the floral denim in question is more unobtrusive and less eye-sore-y than some out there (in my opinion). In fact, I quite like it. I stumbled upon them online whilst...

An Emerald Evening

  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...

What I Wore: April Flowers

What I Wore: April Flowers

If you get the reference in the caption above, we can be geek friends forever. ๐Ÿ™‚ 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...

What I Wore: Layers & Lace

What I Wore: Layers & Lace

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...

What I Wore: Purple & Puppy

What I Wore: Purple & Puppy

Spring seems to have arrived full force in Austin. My flowers are starting to come out, the weather is balmy if occasionally rainy, the days are longer. All of this means one thing: dress season! I'm excited to finally be able to wear all the shorter dresses I've been...
