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...
Yesterday was date night once again (went to a fun Italian place called ASTI - quite good), and when putting together outfit ideas for the evening I decided to do something a little different. I've been mulling over Audrey's tips for re-imagining your clothes, and...

This past Monday (yesterday) was a bit crazy. I had my normal freelance work to do, chores around the house, errands outside of the house, a last-minute meeting with a client, and a critique group with my fellow writers. I needed something comfortable for the...
