Good Morning readers and Happy Friday! I’m so excited to tell you have I have teamed up with Nasty Gal to bring you a New Orleans City Guide and two holiday style party looks for a night out on the town with your friends. For my first look, I paired a simple white cropped top with some pleated shorts and finished the look a snazzy sequin blazer for some “uptown funk.”  Speaking of “Uptown Funk,” in case you haven’t heard my new favorite song by Bruno Mars, you can jam out to it here–> Uptown Funk

The song “Uptown Funk” was pretty much the inspiration behind this head turning look! Don’t believe me? Just watch–> Uptown Funk  

For those of you who like a pop of color, I showed the outfit styled with the Madison Crossbody in wine.  I also paired the party look with my black Jenn Bucket Bag designed by yours truly to show you that it works great as a going out bag too.  I think this outfit is perfect for a night out with your girls during the holidays or even as a New Years Eve outfit too! What do you think? Where would you rock this look?

Good Morning readers, today I’ve teamed up with The Outlet Collection at Riverwalk to show you how to take your look from day to night for holiday parties without being able to stop at home to get ready. Whether you’re at the office all day and heading to a Christmas party after work or you’re out running errands all day and then straight to a holiday event, these tips will have you looking fab in a “haute” minute!

Tip 1: Pack a fancy clutch, statement jewelry and a pair of heels in your work bag to change into for the evening!

Tip 2: Wear a versatile piece like black pants, a skirt or a little black dress that can go easy day to night. For this look, I changed out of my flats, leggings and sweater, but I really could have worn the little black dress all day and just changed my shoes, jewelry and handbag. I just wanted to show you two ways to wear this beautiful white fur vest!

Tip 3: Apply a bold lipstick and an extra coat of mascara before you head out the door!

Black Friday: Open 6am-10pm | @RiverwalkNOLA

Good Morning readers, I apologize for not posting the past two days! I was traveling back from New York on Monday and then yesterday I had the most awful sinus headache. Do any of you get those really excruciating headaches that last all day? What do you take for it that you feel works best? I would appreciate any kind of advice! Thanks!

Anyway, I’m sure you all remember the first time I wore this blush outfit a few weeks ago with the leopard clutch, statement jewelry and black pumps. This time I decided to switch things up and go for an all neutral look with the Jenn bucket bag in stone and nude booties. I also styled the two piece set with some sassy leopard pumps and a pop of color with the Madison Crossbody in wine. Which style do you like best? Before making your decision, don’t forget to check out how I styled it the first time here–> Wild Madagascar Vanilla

Good Afternoon readers and Happy Halloween! I just got to New York for the weekend to celebrate the launch of the Jenn bucket bag. In case you missed my first post about the handbag I designed with GiGi New York, you can view it here–> The Debut of The Jenn Bucket Bag. Also, make sure to check out my features interview on their site at giginewyork.com.

I still can’t believe I actually have my own handbag collaboration with such a remarkable fine leather and handbag company! Designing my own bag with Gigi New York was just a mere fantasy of mine until I got to tour the Graphic Image factory in New York this past year with the owner, Tom Glazer. It was during that tour that things quickly started to fall into place. Tom’s passion and enthusiasm for the company inspired me to get creative while we were in the place where all of the magic happens, the design room! We (A Pinch of Lovely, Kaela Rodehorst Photography & myself) got the opportunity to view all of the bright-colored new leathers for spring and summer 2015 as well as potential new handbag styles. My excitement got me a little carried away and I started describing my dream Gigi handbag design.  Much to my surprise, Tom immediately went for it and said, “Hey, let’s do it! We can do a handbag collaboration.” I just about died when I heard those words come out of his mouth, but that didn’t even compare to when I first laid eyes on the sample of what was going to be my very own handbag that would soon be available for everyone to buy. Gigi New York’s amazing team made the collaboration process a cinch for me. All I had to do was tell them exactly how I envisioned the bag and they got everything down right to the very last detail. I of course got to test everything out and make any necessary changes before it went into production.  I am so grateful to Gigi New York for this incredible experience.  It has been the opportunity of a lifetime and something I’ll never forget.

Follow along with @GigiNewYork on Instagram today! I’m taking over their account and sharing photos of my “Jenn Bucket Bag” travels in NYC to celebrate the launch of my handbag!
