The Handbag Everyone Will Be Carrying This Season

Hey everyone, I’m so excited that tomorrow is the first day of March because that means spring is near and I can start wearing wedges and florals again. Today I’m sharing the wedges you’re going to need this spring and the latest handbag trend that is all the rage right now.

The Vince Camuto Leera espadrille sandals are the perfect wedges for spring because they come in tons of colors and the heel is only 3.25 inches so they aren’t too high, which means they’re comfortable for all day wear. They look precious with this ruffled floral skirt and they look also look great with cutoff shorts and t-shirt too. These wedges are super easy for dressing up and down. I always like to make sure I have neutral colored wedge so I chose tan, but I also like the blush, coral and leopard print too. Which color do you like best in the Vince Camuto Leera espadrille sandals?

The clear boxy tote is the handbag that everyone will be carrying this season. We started seeing the trend more in 2018, but it will be huge for 2019. I especially love this mini pink embossed tote and this large white one by Vince Camuto. They instantly make your outfit look more chic and stylish. Plus it’s fresh look for spring and summer. You’ll also be seeing a little of clear sandal straps too.

How to Style Your Bar Cart For Mardi Gras

Hey everyone, I hope you all enjoyed your weekend! Today I’m sharing how to style your bar cart for Mardi Gras with World Market. 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

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:

  1.   Angel – a woman elected the year before in a contest to find “most beautiful Maria” in Venice.
  2.   Eagle – always an athlete or talented artist that shows strength and mental perseverance.
  3.   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.
