Hi everyone, today I’m sharing one of my New Orleans Jazz Fest looks with you featuring this adorable Free People Set from Herringstone’s Boutique along with this amazing Rebecca Minkoff ‘Julian’ Backpack from Emma’s Shoes. I’m all about fringe this season so I just die over the fringe and studded detail of the bag! If you’re as obsessed with the ‘Julian’ as I am, then I bet you’re super stoked that we’re giving one away! That’s right! I’ve teamed up with Emma’s Shoes to give one lucky girl a chance to win this killer fringe bag just in time for festival season!

You’ll also be happy to know that you can now shop Emma’s Shoes & Accessories online at emmashoes.com, but if you’d like to specifically order this bag, just give them a call at (985) 778-2200 so they can place a special order for you! They also have the Rebecca Minkoff backpack available in camel without the studs which is as equally amazing as this black one! It’s the perfect bag for New Orleans Jazz Fest because it allows you to keep your hands free and the fringe detail gives your outfit that cool boho vibe. Plus it gives you plenty of extra room to pack a bottle of water, SPF and a few beauty essentials along with your wallet and necessities. You absolutely must stay hydrated in that New Orleans heat and sun protection is vital! I recommend bringing along a hat for extra face and neck protection.

Good Morning readers, how adorable is this flirty white ruffle dress from Shop Bella C? It’s the perfect Easter dress and it’s also available in a beautiful coral color too (see here). I love how the the style of the dress is feminine, yet simple and versatile. As you can see from the photos, I styled the dress three different ways with the three different pairs of shoes, handbags and jewelry. Which style is your favorite, the pink shoes and embroidered clutch, the fringe heels and bucket bag or the light blue pumps and blush clutch?

P.S. I’ve got a funny story about flowy dresses for you. So this past weekend I wore a mini floral dress with a ruffle hem to an outdoor couples shower in New Orleans. The weather was absolutely perfect for a crawfish boil couples shower! The sun was shinning and there was such a nice breeze in the air. Perhaps it was a little more breezy than I thought it was though because when I stopped at Walgreens along the way, the most dreadful thing happened!!! I got out of the car and the wind flung my dress right up in the air and almost over my head. Needless to say, I flashed everyone in the Walgreens parking lot! I mean everyone!!! It was so windy that I just couldn’t keep the dress down. I didn’t even bother trying to go inside. When we arrived to the party, I held my dress down as best I could and asked all of the other girls if they had an extra change of clothes. Of course no one did so I had to go with Plan B- the makeshift romper. Yes, that’s right! I safety pinned the dress in between my legs and turned that mini floral dress into quite the interesting romper. It was way better than flashing everyone at the party though. Am I right? Anyway, that’s my embarrassing story from the weekend. I hope enjoyed on my behalf! Word of advice, always keep a safety pin on you when wearing flowy dresses on windy days! Even if it doesn’t seem that windy!
