Last week was one of those that you never wanted to end. Brian and I took advantage of his week vacation and headed down to New Orleans for a few days. Excuse the iPhone pictures, but it’s all I carried with me this week. Thank you to everyone that sent in recommendations of things to do! We both loved the charm that the city offered and all of the amazing food!
Chargrilled oysters from Acme Oyster House were not to be missed.
We rode streetcars all around town and explored historic cemeteries, the beautiful garden district and for some light shopping.
New Orleans Favorites:
to eat:
Irene’s (the best homemade lasagna!)
Acme Oyster House (chargrilled oysters)
GW Fins (delicious fresh fish)
Three Muses (great live music while you eat)
Cafe du Monde (of course)
to do:
We avoided the freezing temps one afternoon and headed to the Lowe’s hotel for a day of pampering
Spend $3 and get the streetcar pass for the day
Head to the garden district and walk up and down all the nearby streets to view the beautiful old homes
Take a cemetery with French Quarter Phantoms. We scored a great Groupon deal and the tour was really interesting!
Live music at d.b.a

Part two of the week, my best friend’s wedding!
Rehearsal dinner ladies. // Brides’ dress found here
We spent the day getting ready in the coziest monogrammed pajamas.
The most beautiful bride. Can we take a minute to talk about her fabulous fur coat that was her great grandmothers? Amazing.
The most amazing week, spent with my favorite people!

What a wonderful week and I absolutely loved your bridesmaid dresses!! The bride was stunning, that fur coat- what a perfect touch!! You’ve just made NOLA go up even higher on my places to visit list!! Happy Monday!!
Your friend’s wedding dress was gorgeous and that fur!! Loved your bridesmaids dresses too! Glad you guys had a great trip in New Orleans! I went a few years ago for a LSU/USC game but would love to back go and actually enjoy the city!

The bride is stunning! She looks so glamorous and elegant. Love the bridesmaid dresses and you look gorgeous in that pic with Brian(as always). I love the way your hair is styled. xo Happy Monday!
GW Fins is always our favorite place for dinner whenever we go to NOLA. Their Scalibut (scallops seared into halibut) I still dream about it and even tried to make it once at home but it just wasn’t the same. You looked stunning girl and that vintage fur coat is major swoon factor!
What a great weekend! The bride looks absolutely stunning! You look gorgeous as well. Those dresses… wow. Glad you had a fun filled weekend celebrating your friend!

Your friend’s wedding dress is GORGEOUS!! The whole wedding looks absolutely beautiful. And can I just say how jealous I am of your bridesmaid dress. It’s so pretty and classic. I would wear that again in a heartbeat, unlike the one i have to wear for my cousin’s wedding. And I need to go visit NOLA asap based on these photos.
