...Did someone say Mardi Gras?!

Hey ya'll!


As most of you probably know, it's MARDI GRAS time...aka THE BEST TIME EVER, IN LIFE. New Orleans is currently kicked in high gear with parties, costumes, king cake and more! What most of you may not know is that sometimes, Mardi Gras weather isn't the best. It's often cold, rainy, and just plain icky. Bad weather tends to effect your mood so with a little help from my friends over at Bloom Nation, we're going to show you how to brighten your space during winter months! 


BloomNation is a a company that supports local communities by partnering with independent florists and showcasing their handcrafted arrangements on their websites! My photographer, Randy and I put together a cute little video on how to decorate and host a Mardi Gras party! (Because doesn't Mardi Gras brighten everyone's mood?!) This can be especially useful for those who may not live in the area, but adore the culture...because who wouldn't?! 


Without further ado, please check out my very first YouTube video and laissez les bons temps rouler!

So if you're not from the South you may not realize this, but it gets HOT here. Especially in New Orleans...so hot that sometimes, Winter just completely skips us over! While the rest of the country was roasting chestnuts by the open fire, we were literally still in bathing suits hanging out by the pool. This look would have been a million times cooler had it actually been cold outside while I was wearing this cream and white combo, but of course it was like 78 degrees, haha. Side note: I don't think I've pulled out my coat this entire winter season!

Anyhoo, I really wanted to showcase the beauty of my new rose gold mules from Misguided and I thought the best possible way to showcase them was a pretty, tonal outfit. Off the shoulder, oversized cream sweater? Check. White, Lived In, Ripped Jeans? Check. Adorable Rose Gold Mules? Triple Check. Looks like we've got ourselves an outfit; one we can totally take into Spring.

Have you ever bought an item just to build an entire outfit around it?!
