The Nola Fashion Week team did an awe inspiring job with last week's events. Little is known about the fashion down here simply because there hasn't been a well developed scene. But after last week's events and runway shows that spotlighted Southern-bred designers, I have full confidence that New Orleans is well on its way to defining its own culture of fashion in the months to come. Thank you Rachael, Nick, Andi for being visionaries and believing in the potential of our city and, of course, for your hospitality throughout the week!



The Art of Style at Le Phare featured local artist Sarah Ashley Longshore's exhibition of Anna Wintour paintings. Spunky and hilarious!


The signature drink, comprised of Absolut Peach Vodka and a bunch of other stuff I don't remember, was dangerous and instantaneously my sister's favorite new drink.

I am still oogling over their manila folder menus...just the teacher coming out.

>>Pictured with fellow Southern blogger and perfect date Rachel and one of the speakers, Lindsay of SaucyGlossie who is just adorably chic.


The Ogden Museum was the perfect location for this kind of event. It enhanced the charm of the Southern designers' collections in an intimate, yet provocative atmosphere.


I worked at one of Emeril's restaurants with Gerrin (right) a few years ago and now he's launched an eclectic denim line that I can see Kanye sporting. They're both killing the Louboutins!
