king cake[Mardi Gras ready with a King Cake from McArthur’s]

It’s Mardi Gras weekend! I’m so excited to be in St. Louis for the big Mardi Gras parade and festivities that are going on all weekend long. Tomorrow morning we’re heading to a friends to start the morning with mimosas and bloody mary’s before bundling up for the parade. Is anyone going to New Orleans to celebrate? Keeping it short this week with the words and letting the pictures steal the show.

    Sounds like an amazing weekend!

    Glad you found a couple items via the Bobbi Brown sale. The eye sweep brush that you recommended earlier this week and their new nude eye palette are heading my way. The beach scrub sounds amazing, let me know how you like it!

    Mardi Gras in St. Louis is so fun! I went senior year of college and had a blast… Although I’m sure New Orleans is a million times more insane. Have a great weekend!
