...Friday, is that you?!

Ahhh, Friday...

The day we so often look forward to because it means happiness is only one night's sleep away. I have most Fridays off and I like to spend them in the most relaxing way possible...after all, I will need my energy for my wild wild west weekends!

Dress: BooHoo
Booties: Steve Madden (old, newer version linked)
Wallet/Clutch: Kate Spade
Choker: Old, Similar Linked

Sunnies: Ray Ban
Earrings: Dillard's 
Watch: Michael Kors
Polish: Essie's Mint Candy Apple, Lippie: Wet N Wild's Mochalicious 

So what do you wear on your Casual Fridays? Denim like most? Check out this cute little denim dress that we shot MONTHS ago (and I'm just getting it up to y'all because I'm always tardy to the party. Thank God this dress is still availible at BooHoo and it's less than $25 now! You can thank me later.

I paired this hot little number with these Steve Madden open toe, lace up booties because, I'm BEYOND ready for fall. It's been a rainy, hot summer here in New Orleans and I can't wait for cooler days and cozier clothes.

Have you started planning your fall wardrobe yet?! 

(Because it's literally all I do these days, lol)

...Fall Festival?! No Probs Bob (Pt 1)

Well Hello There!

I'm not quite sure how it's done in the rest of the world, but in New Orleans? We like to PARTAY! I know most festivals are over by this point, but the fall festival season in NOLA is just revving up. I mean, Seafood Fest, VOODOO Fest, and the Fried Chicken Fest are literally just around the corner.

Dress: Free People (via Shop Bop)
Kimono: Flynn Skye
Necklace: Forever 21(super old!!, I'm sorry I can't even find anything similar)
Sunnies: Aldo Shoes (old, similar linked), Hat: Forever 21

Backpack: DSW Shoes 

Dressing for a festival in the spring is totes easy: shorts, crops, booties, fun jewelry and you're done! However, sometimes dressing for a festival in the fall can be a little bit more difficult. I partnered up with a old friend of mine (Heyy Dee!) to shoot some a fun look for fall festival season.

Converse Chuck Taylors: JC Penney  

I'm so obsessed with this slinky black maxi I got from ShopBop! It's long enough to keep you warm during cooler nights, but the high slit on the side still allows a little air to flow through there. I paired it with a super cool necklace scarf from Forever 21, a kimono, and of course my favorite festival shoe, low-top Converse Chuck Taylors.

What do you plan on wearing to a fall festival?

...& 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.
