Old mardi gras beads hang from trees everywhere




One of the mansions on St Charles

Hallway of the B&B that we stayed at

Loved their old chandeliers. (God I hope I find one in a flea market one day)

We had to take this shot. A random side gate leading to a court yard.


In the French Quarter


Dress: GAP. Panama hat: New Orleans. Shoes: Moccasin. Bag: Vintage. Necklaces: LF/Foley & Corinna. Lips: MAC in So Chaud (I found an orange lippie finally). Large black ring: New Orleans street vendor. Snake ring: NY shop. White ring: New Orleans
Even though I’ve been back a few times, the old architecture still gets to me. It’s stunning.
Last week I posted changing room shots here on twitter of me getting this dress on sale at GAP. As usual the side pockets sold it.
The hat was picked up while in New Orleans. This will be a semi permanent fixture on my head all summer. The oversized brim makes it feel a bit old school. Like I borrowed it from an Uncle or something.

Those photos are beautiful. Probably really don’t do the place justice, though, but I like how New Orleans has been captured.
And I heard that Pearl Jam performed at the Jazz Fest. You lucky girl!

Something about that Secret Garden-ish photo that has become an instant favorite. I’ve seen similar photos but this one just seems so crisp and inviting, I can’t tell if it makes me want to get married in or just visit that spot in New Orleans. I really love it.

I’m so fascinated by all the beads hanging off the tree! That site alone would have made my day! Where’s the sun to go with your lovely dress? Come out already!

love the dress! saw it online, but you wore it with criss cross straps– are they detachable? also, would you mind stating what size you got, xs? love the shots btw, esp the first and second ones!
fashionclocked says:
wow such a beautiful incredible place- i love the dress and the bag is outstanding! The beads hanging from the trees are magic- remind me of a huge New Orleans party hosted by my work in Nashville when I started for the company! These necklaces were hung from lamposts and thrown from balconies complete with dancing sea creatures and exquisite cuisine- crazy. ( I kept all the beads and flew them home! ha!)
would be great if you could visit.
