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.
gorgeous dress!

Those photos are beautiful. Probably really don't do the place justice, though, but I like how New Orleans has been captured.
ReplyDeleteAnd I heard that Pearl Jam performed at the Jazz Fest. You lucky girl!
The dress looks amazing on you and I love the fringe bag as well. Great photos! x

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.

ReplyDeletethe architecture is spledid and your bag is one of the best I have ever seen.

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!
ReplyDeletewow 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!)
ReplyDeletewould be great if you could visit.

ReplyDeleteI actually have a chandelier very similar to the one in your picture in my house now. It's gorgeous! I see them from time to time in my area for sale when they tear down old houses. Let me know if you can't find one.

When you get back to NYC check out Greenflea Market on Columbus Ave, UWS (somewhere in the 70s) on Sundays. There's a dude usually there who sells chandeliers!

ok, wow. i am both blown away and amazed at the shots michael took.
ReplyDeletewhat lens did he use? omg! wow! gorgeous!
seriously. i can't get over it.
ps. just to get this back on track, i want that gap dress and hat woman! lol! ;)
Oh I love the shots of the mansion and you looking into the window!
ReplyDeleteAnd you still managed to look gorgeous through all that RAIN! Hope to see you when I'm up for the summer.
xx,

Glad you guys liked the shots. NOLA is a cool place and hopefully the pics captured a glimpse of it.
ReplyDeleteStudded Hearts - thx. My fave one by far.
Caylee - thx you. It's a great place.
Dee - thx I'll tell him you said that. Its the Nikon zoom lens: the 24-70. It's our next fave now. First fave was the 50 fixed but its shifted to this zoom one because its more flexible and still can achieve bokah (sp?). 50 gets more though blur though but in a fixed range. can't do wide angle.
Rachel - thx. I've been obssessed with hats for so long.
Bren - i did. I'm not there anymore. I came back to NY on Monday. Just posting pics now of the trip. There's so many.
Tiffany - thx for the tip and I will if I need help.
Koko - thanks a million.
Swank Heights - Def text me when you come up.
