What I Wore: CoverGirl Photoshoot


what I wore: wax skinnies – 1st kiss via TJ, top – vintage (thrifted), hat/mardi gras necklace – vintage via cheap thrills, booties – gojane, oxfords – target, sunnies – shop ultra
Last week I was lucky enough to be included in an informal CoverGirl photoshoot. I rarely get the opportunity to work with creative types, so I busted out an ensemble I hoped they’d appreciate. The hat was everything.

Happy Mardi Gras

Me on the right, 2007

Every year during carnival season, I wonder (more than usual) why I ever left New Orleans. The city is really so different than any other place in the country. Once you fall in love, you start a life-long affair with the place. Who couldn’t love a city that shuts down for a party?
So, although it’s just another Tuesday in Fayetteville, I’m wishing everyone a happy mardi gras! Laissez les bon temps rouler!

A Short Week

Ro and I are headed south this afternoon to attend a funeral. So it will be a short week for me. While I’m gone, enjoy some of what I’ve been loving lately.
