Limited Edition Genevieve Bucket Bag

Happy Friday everyone! I’m so excited to launch this special limited edition Genevieve Bucket Bag with GiGi New York today. The Genevieve style was so popular during fall and winter that we decided to bring it back in this fun limited edition red pom pom raffia style for spring. If you missed my first post about this bag, I designed the Genevieve bag last fall to bring with me to Paris. See here—> The Mini Genevieve Bucket Bag

If you love the bag in this print, don’t waste any time before ordering because as I mentioned it’s a limited edition so there are only 25 bags available for purchase. The Genevieve will also be available in multiple other colors for spring including the two newest colors available for preorder: buttercup and white

About the Genevieve: I designed the mini bucket bag because I wanted a chic and stylish bag that is also convenient, versatile and practical. The Genevieve is all of that in one. She’s the perfect size to wear as a small crossbody, but still big enough to fit all of your essentials. She is also right on trend this season with her boho silhouette and textured pom print. And not only can the Genevieve be worn multiple ways with her adjustable handles and removable crossbody strap, but she also goes with an endless array of styles and day to night outfits.

The Top 5 Shoes You Need For Spring 2019

March 4, 2019

Hey everyone, I hope you had a great weekend. Today I’m sharing the top 5 pairs of shoes you need for Spring 2019. Shoes and bags are my weakness so they’re always the first thing I shop for each season. Plus they’re the most fun to shop for because your shoe size always remains the same even if you put on a few extra pounds over the winter. LOL You can always depend on shoes to still fit you the same! Scroll through this post to see which shoes I purchased for myself for spring.

See how I styled the blush pair of shoes all the way to the right here—> My Travel Preparation Routine

See how I styled these espadrilles here—> The Handbag Everyone will be Carrying this Season

1) The Micro Wedge | I highly suggest a short wedge sandal that you can easily dress up or down with all of your spring outfits. They are especially great for vacations because your feet can last longer in a shorter pair of heels. I love these Leera Wedges by Vince Camuto and they come in a ton of different colors.

Outfit: Similar Pink Blazer, & Similar Striped Top | Parker Vintage Cutoff shorts (also available here) — size down! | See By Chloe Glyn Ankle Strap Wedges (similar here & here) | Givenchy Mini Antigona | See the full look here—> Pink Linen Blazer + Cutoff Shorts

2) The Platform Wedge | While micro wedges are easy and practical, I also love me some chunky platform wedges to wear out with little spring dresses and matching sets. I love how they elongate my legs especially in a tan color that matches my skin tone. I highly recommend the Glyn Wedge Espadrilles and these laser cut Wedge Espadrilles.

3) The Everyday Sneaker | I can’t get enough of everyday sneakers lately. It’s all I want to wear especially during this awkward in between season time of year. I love my Golden Goose Sneakers, but I know those are pretty pricey so here a couple of other sneakers I like too.

I also love these neutral colored sneakers by Vince Camuto because they go with everything and the perforated style makes them perfect for warm days.

4) The Statement Shoe | I always love having a statement shoe for every season and right now crisp white and clear details are having a huge moment so mix them tougher and you have the perfect trendy statement shoe. I love these white lucite pumps (also available here).

5) The Metallic Slide | I wore these slide sandals all last spring and summer in both rose gold and tan. In fact, I liked them so much that I scooped up a third pair during the Shopbop Sale in the rose gold color again because I wore that color the most so it was time for a new pair.

How to Style Your Bar Cart For Mardi Gras

When it comes to Mardi Gras bar carts, I like to make sure I include essentials like vodka, Bloody Mary mix and all of the garnishes. I also like to add fun little masks and I always keep my pretty gold stemless glasses and printed bowls on display for added decor. I found all of my Mardi Gras essentials at World Market including this gold bar cart, which I’ve had in my home for three years now. It’s the perfect size to keep in your dining room or you can even use it as end table!

How I Keep a Piece of Italy in My Home

February 24, 2019

Hey everyone, today I’ve teamed up with Torresella Wines to share why it’s the perfect wine for sharing, along with some fun facts about its authentic Italian heritage in honor of the Venetian Carnival Season currently taking place in Italy. Not only are Torresella Wines delicious, but I also love being able to have a little taste of Italy at home. It brings me back to the beautiful summer two years ago we spent traveling all over Tuscany, Florence, Venice and Rome. I actually included some of my photos from my trip to Venice in this post. I thought they were very fitting for today’s post, considering that Torresella is the wine of Venice. During Springtime, Venetian Carnival takes flight and comes to life. The carnival is meant to celebrate history, artistry & the beauty of Venice.

My Top 3 Venetian Carnival Facts

1) Once a year Venice goes back in time and transforms itself into a giant masked party for all. I love thinking about everyone celebrating in this beautiful city because it reminds me a lot of my own city here in New Orleans. Venice and New Orleans have a lot of similarities within their culture and love for celebrations.

2) The Venetian Carnival became an official Venetian public holiday in 1296.

3) It used to last six weeks, from December 26 to Ash Wednesday. We also celebrate Mardi Gras Carnival season here in New Orleans until Ash Wednesday and Fat Tuesday has also become a public holiday in southern Louisiana.

The most important carnival traditions are the three festival flights over Plaza San Marco’s bell tower: the Flight of the Angel, symbolizing beauty, the flight of the eagle symbolizing strength and the flight of the lion symbolizing majestic power of city.

Three flight mascots explained:

Angel – a woman elected the year before in a contest to find “most beautiful Maria” in Venice.
Eagle – always an athlete or talented artist that shows strength and mental perseverance.
Lion – actual venetian flag that is welcomed by choir singing the San Marco Anthem.

I love serving the wine of Venice to guests in my home in hopes that the Venetian traditions will inspire us to step away from our daily lives and embrace our Venetian state-of-mind.
