International House New Orleans Hotel Review

Hi everyone, as promised I’m sharing my recent staycation at the International House New Orleans Hotel with you today.  I recently stayed there for a fun getaway with Nikki of My Style Diaries and Kristina Britt Photography. I love the location because it’s within walking distance of the French Quarter and a ton of restaurants, but it’s still far enough away from all the hustle and bustle. We were able to walk to Tableau for dinner, Salon by Sucre for tea and a quick Uber ride to Cane & Table.

IH hotel offers an on-the-go breakfast selection and coffee in their lobby, but we arrived in New Orleans with a strong craving for beignets and District Donuts so we made a quick donut run and picked up a variety of delicious treats to bring back to our room.

Floral Skirt

To me, this outfit has sweet and sassy written all over it. The flirty floral skirt reads sweet while the cropped top and lace up heels bring out your inner sass! I think this fresh white and floral combo is perfect for a summer date night or an outdoor evening soiree!

Pink Ruffle Dress

I’m willing to bet that you have five events that you could wear this little pink ruffle dress to this summer or I could at least name five of my own: my friend’s baby shower, Sunday Brunch, best friend’s engagement party, bridal luncheon and a play that I’m going to with my grandmother next weekend! Bam!

Good Morning readers, I hope you’re all enjoying your weekend. I had so much fun staying in New Orleans on Friday and Saturday with (Krystal) A Pinch of Lovely at the AC Bourbon Hotel. I don’t think we ever stopped eating the entire time. It all started at Sucre in the French Quarter when we felt compelled to stop for gelato and macarons before dinner and then we scarfed down 10 different tapas with friends at Baru on Magazine St. The next morning, we waited 25 minutes in line for iced coffee and beignets at Cafe Beignet on Royal St. followed by pizza at Domenica for lunch before heading out.

Dress sizing info: I am wearing an XS in these photos and I still have plenty of extra room since it’s a shift dress. It runs a little on the shorter side, which is perfect for me because I’m only 5ft, but I definitely wouldn’t describe the dress as too short. Also, I always think that if you’re wearing a dress with long sleeves, it’s totally acceptable to go a little shorter in length.

Hey everyone, so this might be a little TMI and I really hope I’m not the only one, but sometimes I’m getting ready to run out the door only to realize that I didn’t shave under my arms and I’m like “crap what I do!” I usually ended up having to throw on some type of jacket, but we all know that down here in the south jackets are a no-go after May so I always like to make sure I have a few lightweight dresses with sleeves for those kind of days! I’d much rather change into a different dress really fast rather pass out from heat stroke in my jacket! The Yumi Kim Stefee Dress is precious and if you follow me on Instagram then you know I wore it to Mother’s Day dinner and while on a weekend getaway to the beach!
