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.

Heading Down South

I am so excited to be headed to New Orleans for another friends wedding!

I am hoping to see some new things, meet new people, and eat enough beignets to satisfy me for life.

I was at the happy hour at Charlie Palmer for the first time where I spotted this baby:

I have only ever eaten in the dining room and the bar definitely did not disappoint.

The Bumbys

Have you heard of The Bumbys?

I have become so intrigued that I am dying to go to an event that they are booked at.

The Bumbys are an anonymous performance artist couple that give you "A Fair and Honest Appraisal of Your Appearance."

You stand in front of them and they get a feeling and type away and you end up with this:

I want.

It went from cool to hot again in the blink of an eye. I am back to trying to figure out what to wear to work that wont make me sweat and hopefully still look attractive after a day of running around.

Celerie Kemble made me go mad for mint and lust after lavender.

Not to mention, those butterflies...
