Before Isaac Hit

Ok this post was supposed to be put up the week Hurricane Isaac hit Louisiana and it wasn't because well...I had to evacuate. I made sure I slept through the entire thing lol. This was my last weekend on New Orleans and ALL the other interns had left so I decided to go back to the French Quarter just to look around, eat some beignets and say my goodbyes.

First week of school is over and I have to say, I am actually happy to be back. This semester is definitely going to extra busy so I wont be putting up as many posts as I usually do so sorry in advance.

I have to get back to work now though


Goodnight Lovelies :)

The SnoWizard

This outfit is one of favorites so far perhaps because the shoot went really well. I decided to pair my high-waisted american apparel shorts with a white peplum top I found on Asos for this EXTREMELY hot, humid Sunday afternoon. I wore this top with a burgundy leather pencil skirt for an networking event I attended last month. Honestly, its too hot here in the daytime for me to comfortably take pictures  in that skirt (it's leather, leather + heat = bad) however, i will dig up a few ugly iPhone pictures i took with a picture of that skirt for another post. BTW, BURGUNDY  and LEATHER ARE COMPLETELY ON TREND FOR THIS FALL (so start updating those wardrobes....or not lol. Maria Barreda competely outdid herself with the makeup. She went all our for me this time and so did Janine with the pictures. (Thank you guys :)  )

AND of course, I have to mention this location. SnoWizard has THE best snowballs I have tasted....or maybe it was because I was hungry/thirsty.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have two more stressful weeks here in New Orleans. I am literally THE last intern left here and I have so much to finish before my final presentation. Wish me luck, keep me in your prayers!


TGIF!! TOMORROW IS MY DAY OFFF! YESSSSS!!

Minty Fresh

Is it just me or did summer go by really fast. I feel like it was just yesterday I was packing for my trip to New Orleans. I must say it's been an interesting little adventure I have had here :) Good times, good memories, good friends...what more could I ask for? :)

These pictures were taken in the Marigny. It is such an interesting part of town. Each house in this neighborhood has its own personality; its own vibe and feel. There are pink houses, blue houses, green, yellow, and multicolored ones. Some parts reminded me a lot  of Ghana, others reminded me of an old, western town while some parts had this old European feel. Very Eclectic to say the least. I really really like it here! I wouldn't mind moving down here after graduation

I decided to pair my mint pants with a silver top and of course my silver and mint shoes. I felt like matching that day lol.

Well...I have to be up at 4am tomorrow morning so I'm heading to bed. I had an awesome shoot with Janine Joffe today so I should have another post up this week. Maria also did an awesome job with the makeup, I cant wait to put those pictures up :)

HAPPY MONDAY :)

My Little Black Summer Dress

The St. Elizabeth's House was once an asylum and then it was owned by author Anne Rice and now it has been refurbished into GORGEOUS apartments in a very beautiful part of nola. There is, however, a little rumor that the building (or area around it) is haunted O_o

Yesterday, I decided to go for a simple black vest dress. It was a hot, extremely humid day and for some weird reason i was in that black-dress-wearing mood. Of course i didn't bring any of my black dresses with me to nola except this which I usually wear under a longer sheer maxi dress. In an extremely minimalistic fashion i opted to go all black with little embellishment - just the gold chain and bag. Sometimes, less is more, yes? yes! :)

That bag, i saw in a boutique on magazine street for $20 :o . I was bouncing off the walls! I'm sure the sales person  thought i was crazy. It reminds me a lot of the classic Chanel flap bag. Of course, nothing beats Chanel but for that price... :) it won my heart

Happy Sunday!

Have a wonderful week lovelies :)


Yours Truly,
