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 :)


Yours Truly,

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!!

It's Leonie :)

<3

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that necklace <3

I don't think I have formally introduced my really really good friend to you all. I mean, I have mentioned her several times but never really had a post about her. So here goes...this is Leonie :) and she is amazing and awesome and she is just IT for me. I love her to bits! She recently just graduated so a BIG, HUGE, GINORMOUS Congratulations to her...again :) She wore this outfit to a friend's graduation lunch. It's  casual but with a Leonie twist.

My week, in a nut shell, was amazingly amazing. I went to an intern event in Houston, met a bunch of interns and networked with some important people from the company. It was fun and informative so "yay!" to that :). Im back in Nola and I'm worn out from the week's events. I know I said I would do all the touristy stuff but I'm so so so so so tired. However, I think I might make a trip to the French Quarters tonight and then go for some beignets and cafe au lait from the famous Cafe Du Monde :)


Leonie is wearing:

Top: Express
Jeans: Zara
Necklace: Aldo
Shoes: Sam Edelman c/o Nordstrom
Bag: Aldo
Lipstick: MAC "rebel"

It's Sunday :( and that means tomorrow is Monday....obviously. As much as it pains me say, HAPPY MONDAY :)


Yours Truly,

Marcie and Leonie <3

Spring Sophistication

I can finally say I am completely settled into the new city and the internship. It's been a busy couple of weeks, I don't even remember last week passing lol. Well, I'm back on my blogging thing and for the next week or week and a half Faith and Leonie will be helping me out with posts. Good news is I have made plenty new friends so the next step is asking someone to do the honors of the taking the pictures of me. I'm hoping a get a few this weekend :) Speaking of which, I haven't had the chance to see New Orleans yet so this weekend I'm going all out on the tourist-y stuff and I'm definitely sharing the picture I take :)

Anyway, this week the company I work for is flying me out to Houston for an intern conference and I'm pretty excited about that. I get to see all the people I worked with last summer PLUS I get see my "home" city again. Yea, Houston!!!

Faithie, looking as sophisticated and elegant as always as she sports a casual look for spring. Cut-out shirts are definitely in this season. She is wearing:

Shirt :  BB Dakota via Ideeli
Pants : American Apparel
Necklace : Kigali, Rwanda
Shoes : Zara
Bag : Zara
Sunglasses : Michael Kors


Leonie will be featuring next on the blog :) So keep an eye out. The next post should be up sooon :)


Hope you enjoy! :)


Yours Truly,


Marcie (and Faith)
