It seems almost ridiculous to talk about all the things I am lusting after and not acknowledge that some people have just lost everything. I can’t imagine the difficulty the people in Moore, Oklahoma and the surrounding cities are going through right now. It seems like so much has happened this year already and while there isn’t anything we can do to stop it, we can donate! Fellow blogger, Meg Biram is donating $10 from each sale of Manifesto’s Revelry T Shirts and Lover sweatshirts to the Red Cross for the Oklahoma tornado victims. Hooray for Meg! Kyle Knight also sent a link to the Oklahoma Human Society which is also a great way to lend support!

Now I’ve shared my love of Charlotte Olympia countless times, but I am smitten with her new Hollywoodland collection {1}. The perforated leather straps are made to look like film strips on the shoes and clutches are made to look like film markers and buckets of popcorn. Ummm have y’all seen Peter Som’s line for Anthropologie yet?? I picked the zebra print dress to show you since I love animals so much but there are some GORGEOUS prints and super romantic silhouettes that would be perfect for a summer wedding or party! Speaking of dresses for weddings, I would get some good use out of that Antik Batik sequin dress{6}. I tried it on at a local boutique, but it was their last one and was just a little too tight. I have been thinking about it ever since and think it would be another great option for 1 or 2 of the 5 weddings I have coming up this summer. And are y’all familiar with the print and textile line Eskayel? TTH is a fan if that peaks your interest.  I have been in love with this line for quite some time and was so happy to see their line of furniture {8} on ABC Home’s site! Although my husband won’t go for one of the sofas, I think I can talk him into an ottoman or maybe {fingers crossed} some wallpaper.

NOLA Bachelorette Party

While I couldn’t show everything that happened at Elizabeth’s NOLA bachelorette party in one post, I wanted to share some highlights from the trip. We stayed in the French Quarter a majority of the time, but ventured off into the Garden District for some shopping on Saturday. It was very refreshing to get out of the FQ for a little while because one can only take so much time on Bourbon Street without going crazy. And believe me, we saw our share of the crazies. All in all, we ate, drank and danced like there was no tomorrow and most importantly celebrated our dear friend, Elizabeth..aka the only person I’d wear a Justin Bieber wig for! We love you Lizzy!

  • Lately, my brows have been extra unruly which is why I am so glad I saw this tutorial on brow shaping. Why oh why wasn’t I born with Cara Delevigne’s brows? Or just entire face??
  • Ever wonder how your favorite fashion queen’s get ready for the Met Gala? See TTH, Kylie Minogue and the Courtin Clarins’ preparation for the big night here

What To Pack: Bachelorette Party in NOLA

nolabacheloretteSunnies// Eye Cream // Dress // Sandals // Bag {small one…I don’t have a dreamy Goyard!} //

I’m headed to one of my favorite cities for one of my favorite girls tomorrow and I literally don’t know how I’m going to sleep tonight!!! On top of New Orleans being incredibly fun and having the best food, I get to participate in my best friend’s last hooray before her wedding…to one of my other best friends!!!

Last time I was in NOLA for a bachelorette party, I really felt like we were supermodels as the men were hitting on us like crazy. To be honest, they were hitting on anything that was still breathing. BUT this time, we are wearing crazy wigs and being the genius that I am, I bought a Justin Bieber wig. Y’all… it is HIDEOUS!!! I mean, should I even wear a dress with it? And also, I’m not kidding when I talk about bringing stretchy clothes. I could easily gain five pounds spending a weekend in New Orleans! But the food is too good to pass up! I can’t wait to share pics!!!

Also I’m over on Ashley Nicole Catherine sharing my favorite words of wisdom. wow
