...Deck The Halls!

Ho Ho Ho!

Christmas time is absolutely one of my favorite times of the year! I become such a kid again decorating the tree and my house and even baking cookies for Santa! Modani Contemporary Furniture Company has great pieces to decorate the house with and of course...the first thought I had was HOLIDAY TIME! Every year being the trust Southern gal I am, I over decorate (duh) and invite my friends over on Christmas Eve for a Holiday Party! We play games, chat, indulge in food and overindulge in wine...it's such a great time!

On Modani's website, I found some super cool pieces of furniture I could utilize in the decorating of my new home! First things first...that wallpaper! Exposed Brick is one of my favorite things in life and it's the perfect backdrop for the equally cool white, minalist sofa and gray shaggy rug! Like an unforgettable outfit, no room is complete without accessories! The walnut flat coffee table and white sleek end table are SO chic! The most understated pieces often make the loudest noise! The final touches in the room include the floor lamp to add a little mood lighting, my absolute favorite LOVE pillows, and of course the most peaceful Serenity statue on the table! Make sure you make your way over to Modani's website ASAP to pick up all these items to spruce up every room in your house! Where do you like to do your furniture shopping? Do you do anything special during the holidays?! Let me know in the comments below! XOXO.


Christmas Decor!

...& Let the Holiday Fun Commence!

It's Holiday Time!!

By now you've had your Turkey Day, shopped Black Friday AND Cyber Monday, and maybe even strung a few lights around the house! Holiday Time for me is a different story...don't get me wrong, I enjoyed my Disney Thanksgiving (pictures coming soon) and definitely got some good deals during the biggest shopping weekend of the year, but I've also been working my butt off. A very dear friend of mine, Christine, asked me to style her jewelry line's Holiday photo shoot. Below I have included some Behind the Scene teasers, all taken at Hotel Maison de Ville located in the French Quarter.

Culture Shock is a New Orleans based jewelry company that fully embraces ALL cultures. They personally design all their jewelry so each piece tells an amazing story of a different culture.

...Socialite in Training ;)

Hey Hey Hey lovely folks!

Life has been such a crazy whirlwind lately! I literally have not had a chance to sit down and catch my breath from all the craziness that is happening these days. Anyhoo, it's been about 2 weeks since my last post and so much has happen since. Instead of a normal outfit post, I'm covering all the events I've attended these past few weeks and what I wore to each one.


Freret & Napoleon Trunk Show



Porter Lyons Voodoo Launch Party

 

 



Pop Sugar Smirnoff Party



Halloween/Homecoming



Jr League Sip N Shop Talk

Only picture I have of myself from this night!


If you're ever out and about in the New Orleans area and see me, be sure to say HI! ;)
