I really hope they don’t build anything next to our office any time soon, because the view from my desk at sunset is breathtaking! That’s my darling Swedish teammate, Sara, hard at work.

Delight on my waistband

Much to the shagrin of my husband, my new job came along with the need for a few new items from my favorite store of all, JCrew. Today was the first time I took the tags off a new pair of whool trousers. As I pulled on one pant leg after the other, I noticed a sweet little detail I must have [...]
Portland Fashion Week

Elaine and I attended Portland Fashion Week for the first time this past Friday. The four shows were hit and miss, but the highlight of the night came at the very beginning; before the shows had begun or the lights had dimmed, the girl 4 seats down threw up all over the floor and herself, [...]
A blogger I stalk

I want to introduce you to an old friend. But here’s the thing: I don’t actually know her in the sense of…um…having shook her hand and split a cookie in a cafe. I stumbled upon Amber through another friend’s blog and immediately fell in love with the way she strings together words, bares her failures [...]
Hello fall. I’ve actually missed you.

Alec and I decided to take advantage of what might be the last glorious day of summer-like weather by hiking up to the Pittock Mansion this morning. We were treated to that crispness in the air that zings your skin and flushes your cheeks the perfect pink. We couldn’t have asked for better morning sun. [...]
I heart singing in harmony

I love when my favorite artists team up with other great artists to surprise me with a new rendition of a classic song. VH1 Diva’s Live is so good for this. This right here, my friends, is a toe-tapper. Go ahead and get your sway on. It’s okay. Ah, and this is just plain pretty. [...]
Time to go back to work

I wanted to share the very good news that I have accepted a position at Ziba Design in Portland. I will be working at the brand new world headquarters in the Pearl District. It’s certainly not a shabby place to hang my hat each day, that’s for sure! The team with whom I’ll be working [...]
Calories in, calories out

As Alec burned some major calories running the Hood to Coast relay, the Anoushiravani gals and I gathered by the fire to consume some major calories from A Piece of Cake. Love me some girl talk and sweet tooth satisfaction by an evening fire!
Not important but SO fun

I know it’s totally vapid, a little embarrassing and not nearly important as, say, the health insurance reform debate, but the US Magazine reading girl in me can’t wait until the premiere of ‘The September Issue‘. I die!
Three little stitches
Posted in Amanda on Tuesday, August 11, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I rung in our second year of marriage today in the most romantic way possible…Surgery! A few weeks ago my dermatologist found a mole that caused her some concern and she recommended that I promptly have it removed and sent to a pathologist. 2 syringes of numbing agent and 3 stitches later, the little cause [...]
