5 years ago

?5 years ago today, on my husband's birthday, we left New Orleans, our home, and our outside cats to face a very uncertain future. This year we (literally) got back everything we left and plus some. From here on out nothing can take away what we have earned. The title from my…

La Elle Dee Da

I discovered Elle's jewelry at a Branch Out  trunk show put on back in February. I purchased a pair so I can attest to how great these are in person.  Needless to say I was pleased when I stumbled upon her work again! Elle takes vintage glass Mardi Gras beads and repurposes them into earrings.…

Show & Tell- Easy does it

Some days you just want to wear a t-shirt and jeans. I try my damnedest not to fall into that category but on my days off I'd rather be comfortable schlepping around the house vs. worrying about staining a skirt or favorite blouse. I have a penchant for all things scaly so…

Frock Friday

I have a confession. I'm currently in remission from a sick obsession with cocktail dresses. Over the years I've downsized my collection to just a few but at one point the fancy vs. casual ration was way out of line. Perhaps it is because I'm secretly a southern belle (yea…

Up and comer

Working with the public definitely has its high moments and those times when I want to crawl into the fetal position under the desk. Fortunately the good moments exceed the bad and it's always interesting to meet new people, become engrossed in a conversation, and see where the outcome leads.…

Mannequin Mondays

This week we're going back to the French Quarter for Mannequin Mondays. Hemline has more locations than I can count, with three in the New Orleans area alone. I've only been to the New Orleans uptown and downtown shops. Both locations are similar but have enough slight differences  that make…

I met Kristin Irine through  Twitter and we instantly bonded over our love of Jersey shore and clothing. Okay, maybe not the clothes they were in the show but y'all get the point. Le Saispas Vintage is an Etsy shop with refreshingly priced vintage items. While Kristin promised to do this…

Show & Tell

Here in New Orleans we experienced two days of nasty weather as remnants of a tropical storm passed through town. I met someone for coffee at the Rue de la Course on Friday and since it was pouring after we met I ducked into Funky Monkey to try to wait…

Frock Friday

I always manage to come up with a post idea in the wee hours when lighting is awful and I can't mask my lack of photography skills. Regardless I'm actually presenting a dress for Frock Friday, fancy that!  Blink on Magazine St. is having a fantastic sale and I couldn't…
