Getting Flashy

TGIF and happy first day of August! I cannot believe it is August already! This year is totally flying! So this look is my last look from New Orleans and it’s what I wore on our last night there. We ate at an amazing restaurant called Cafe Amelie and sat in their beautiful courtyard. Also, they had the best shrimp and grits I have ever had! I mean seriously I could live off just eating it the rest of my life and be totally happy! For my outfit, I wore this beautiful Forever 21 maxi. I absolutely love the low back and side cut outs. Funny story about this dress, when I saw it I fell in love, but I looked at the price tag (remember we are in Forever 21 here) and it said $399.99. My friend and I looked at each other like um what?! So I still tried it on praying it was a mistake and it wasn’t some special collab with Versace or something! :p So I got to the register and the cashier just laughed and said oh ya that’s definitely a mistake because it rang up for $25!! Yes I said it! This dress is $25! Mind blown! I accessorized with some Flash Tattoos to make this look a little more edgy. Warning: while wearing Flash Tattoos in public you may get many compliments on the glitter/jewels/necklace down your back. ;) I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! <3

Cool & Colorful

off the shoulder top, casual summer outfit, american eagle shorts, gianni bini sandals, grateful bags,layered and long necklace
Happy almost Friday!! So today I have another casual New Orleans outfit. I wore this while hitting all the super cute boutiques and shops! I found this amazing multi colored off the shoulder top at a local boutique. It was one of those I have to have it moments right when I laid eyes on it! I paired it with some black cut offs to keep it nice and cool and casual. I threw on some gold sandals for some spice and accessorized with this adorable monogrammed Grateful Bags clutch, which also comes with a strap so it can turn into a mini crossbody bag, seriously so cute! This bag was so perfect for running around NOLA, since it’s so compact! These also come in a bunch of color combos so they will be perfect for the upcoming football season, hint hint tailgating!

Happy Wednesday! So today I have my anniversary dinner look (early anniversary ;)). We went to dinner in the restaurant in out hotel called the Crystal Room and it was amazing! The decor took us back in time and made us feel like royalty! Also, the food was absolutely amazing and we had bread pudding for dessert that almost made me fall out of my chair. Seriously, it was that good! Anyways, on to the outfit. I got this amazing long sleeved maxi from Sophie & Trey. Something about a long sleeved maxi just makes it super elegant! Not to mention the print is so gorgeous! I paired it with a lucite heel and accessorized with some pretty crystal earrings from Zoe & J. Don’t forget you can get 15% off your entire purchase with code UPBEAT! I hope everyone has an amazing Wednesday! <3

Coral & Denim

Happy Tuesday! Still trying to adjust back into reality! So this was one of my casual looks I wore while exploring New Orleans! Perfect for staying cool in the steamy heat! Although, I have to say the heat wasn’t as bad as I was expecting! Everyone was telling us how hot it is in New Orleans, but it had nothing on Florida!! So I guess I’m just use to it! Anyways, how about these adorable coral shorts?! They are from a brand new online boutique (it just launched last week!) called BASTION & CO NYC. They have some super amazing pieces at super amazing prices, so definitely check them out! Also, they are giving out a 15% off discount code to all their new followers on instagram via direct message, so go follow too! ;) I paired these adorable shorts with a crop top to keep it nice and cool and threw on a denim vest for that something extra. I accessorized with my new favorite necklaces from Layered and Long, I think I have worn them every day with different combinations since I got them! Obsessed! Also, you can get 10% off your entire purchase with code UPBEAT! I finished this look with some comfy sandals and crossbody bag. I hope everyone has an amazing Tuesday! <3

NOLA

I’m backkkkkkkk!!! I’ve missed ya’ll! But let me tell you how good it felt to get away for a week, AMAZING! The hubs and I had the best time in New Orleans and we probably gained about 10lbs each! I honestly think the food in New Orleans is the best food I have ever eaten in my life! So yum! Anyways, here is quick recap of our trip, I am going to try to summarize as best as possible to not overload you! ;) 
First off, out hotel, AMAZING!! We stayed at the Le Pavillion Hotel, built in 1907, right outside of the French Quarter and it seriously made me feel like a Princess! I mean, look at those chandeliers!

On to more gorgeouness of NOLA
Jackson Square, with the statue of Andrew Jackson that has been up since 1856 after he helped win the Battle of New Orleans.
I just couldn’t get over all the beautiful architecture with the wrought iron. Which learning on one of our tours, the architecture is actually Spanish architecture, even though it’s in the French Quarter…
The oldest bar in America, so they claim ;) It use to be an old blacksmith shop.
What’s New Orleans without a little voodoo!?
You can’t go to NOLA with out going the Cafe Du Monde! The beignets were out of this world and of course I had to bring some coffee home! So delish!
Beer tasting at Crescent City Brewery. All of their beers are brewed in house and are amazing!
My second favorite breakfast on the trip, I didn’t get a picture of my first, I ate it too fast :( , at The Ruby Slipper. The french toast was da bomb!
Some of the best baked oysters I have ever had at the The Royal House and another thing you can’t go to NOLA without getting, a po boy! ;p
We toured St Louis # 1 Cemetery, which is the oldest of the cemeteries, opening in 1789. Some famous people that are buried here are, Homer Plessy (from Plessy v Ferguson), Marie Laveau (the famous voodoo priestess), also Nicholas Cage bought himself a pyramid shaped tomb for his future resting place. 
Marie Laveau’s tomb with the voodoo symbol, xxx, all over it. People believe that if you make a wish and you draw the symbol on her tomb your wish will com true. Also, people put offerings, like a coke bottle! Because we all know that’s exactly what a 200 year old voodoo priestess would like!
I even found my name! Not creepy at all…
The infamous Bourbon Street, ya we didn’t spend too much time there!
On our last night, we went to this super cute jazz bar called The Little Gem, which was amazing! I mean look at that hair?! I knew he was going to be awesome even before he sang! ;)
So all in all we had an amazing time! You will see a little more throughout the week within my outfit posts! I hope everyone has a wonderful Monday! ;)
