Trippin' Out: New Orleans

It's been a long while. Sorry. I've been up to a little of this and a little of that....I get lazy with posting since Instagram is my go to socialization platform, but I thought I should try and get my motivation going by posting vacation pics from New Orleans! The sights, the outstanding food, the sounds, the people....an eclectic mix of goodness. Take a scroll through the pictures...some from my camera, some from my iPhone.

I inserted a jump break at the bottom too, so to continue looking through the pictures click the "Read More" tab on the bottom left...

^The old neon sign from the hotel we stayed at. Built in 1886.^

Fact: William Faulkner said it was his favorite hotel!

Fern Goodness Sake!

My favorite plant of the moment is the fern....full of freshness, each kind is so delicate and wispy!

 I especially adore the simplicity of a single stem in a vase....perfect!

Buzzin' just like Neon!

Oooh, I fell in love with these bright pieces of goodness as soon as I saw them. 

These earrings are handmade by Love Sexton using faux leather...which means they're affordable too!

Color Wonderful: Blush

I've been noticing the color trend of the blush and nude palette, and I ain't mad at it! 

The color is versatile, soft, and romantic. I created this collage to feature some of my favorite finds

 which include some darling skirts, a vintage ring holder, a pair of shoes that I am the proud 

new owner of, and a festive tissue paper garland!

I should just tell you that creating this collage caused me way too much stress...and three days!
 I dabbled in Photoshop during college but not near enough....geez!
