What I Wore - Dancing Until 5am


What happens in New Orleans, only happens in New Orleans.

On Thursday night I went out with a ton of people that were in town for my friends wedding, and somehow - a few hurricanes later - we were dancing in and out of bars until 5am. The last time I saw 5am was when I woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.

Anyways...

This was my unintended out-all-night party outfit.


Top - Joie
Jeans - Gap
Sandals - Colin Stuart
Clutch - Streets Ahead
Necklace - Unknown - any ideas?
Ring - Michael Kors
Bangles - Nadri and Michael Kors

Modern 24/7 and Me

(I am so gross in this pic because my hubs and I had walked for miles and it was a tad humid - please excuse the mess I am)

During my brief stay in New Orleans, the one thing I knew I had to squeeze in between my BFFs wedding and beignets was meeting Elizabeth from Modern 24/7.

I cannot remember the first time that Elizabeth and I contacted one another but it seems as though it was forever and a day ago and meeting her was beyond what I thought it would be. She is bubbly, fun, sweet, and feels like someone I might need to talk on the phone to 3 times a day.

She was kind enough to teach me several things during our visit too:

1. NOLA is the smallest BIG city

2. Must see - The Jean Lafitte Blacksmith Bar - run only by candlelight

3. Everyone in NOLA wants to be a vampire

4. Prison Shots - please inquire for more details

Last but nowhere close to Least:

5. That she has beyond dreamy taste as you can see in her incredible store below!


Smokey the pretty model kitty from yesterdays post was also hers.
She decided after Katrina that she wanted to live in E's beautiful store, and who can blame her. Maybe next time I visit, I can crash here too.



The DREAMY chandelier that I really wanted to take home with me. Shell and rock crystal might be just what I need over my dining room table. Ugh, I am still thinking about it.

Lonny Travels

So, while several things in the new issue of Lonny made me happy, the biggest one was their travel section.

I am headed to New Orleans for a friends wedding in October and I am happy that I will have this with me.
