The GIOGO girls (Get In Or Get Out) have a new music video and I can’t stop watching. When are these girls getting a reality show? I can watch them for days.

(Gifted Last Night dress, Gifted Lulu*s boots, Vintage Ray Bans)
NOLA finally decided to clear up on Saturday after a day of non stop pouring rain on Friday. It’s funny because on Friday while walking 4 blocks sopping wet, with not proper coverage or for some of us, shoes, I still managed to find it a little romantic as we passed through the cutest, little southern neighborhood with nothing but the sound of rain and not a dry spot on us. A lot of times when I travel or even in life I will take a minute to really stop and appreciate the moment I’m in and be thankful that I’m able to be in New Orleans while it’s pouring rain and seeing things I would never see otherwise. ANYWAY, enough romanticism and onto my fun new dress that has quickly made it to the top of my “wear everyday” list. My blogger BFF Stephanie has her own online shop, Last Night, that specializes in dresses for any occasion. She equipped me with this cool and comfortable dress for my trip to the humid south and it was a match made in heaven. I love the print, fit and back of this dress and of course I’m dying over it paired with my favorite boots. Another fun day spent stuffing out faces, touring the city and also VINTAGE SHOPPING. Until tomorrow NOLA….

FOOD, FOOD AND MORE FOOD! Reflecting on this trip has made me realize that I’ve done nothing but use my eyes to look at the sites and use my teeth to devour various, tremendously fattening foods, but I’m totally ok with it. I love learning about other cultures and places that people live and I love to live as they do while I’m there so this trip has been a huge success in my book. Saturday consisted of eating breakfast and the cutest diner I’ve ever seen (Camellia Grill), thrift shopping, trying out the “best fried chicken in America” (Willie Mae’s Scotch House), riding on the street car, and sampling beignets and chicory coffee (Cafe Du Monde) even though I couldn’t fathom taking another bite of food. I feel like I’m on an episode of No Reservations or Bizarre Foods but really, that’s all I’ve ever wanted.

First night out in NOLA consisted of Po Boys and beers at the raddest little bar called Erin Rose. I found this bar through Bon Appetit and it did not disappoint. The bar had a run down, grunge vibe but was filled with restaurant employees who had just gotten off from a long day in the kitchen. Everyone had a beer in hand while The Cars played in the background and not one person didn’t have a smile on their face. As you work your way to the back of the bar you notice a little room for jukebox selections and then the holy grail of bar food awaits you. The back room of the bar sells AMAZING Po Boys from Killer Po Boys. Definitely not your traditional Po Boy sandwich but a very playful and delicious interpretation. I was still feeling a little sick so water was good for me but I was DYING for a beer to wash down the ridiculously tasty shrimp Po Boy. If I had felt better I probably wouldn’t have left, had about 4 beers and gotten to know the bartender and everyone around me, I loved it that much. Definitely a must see in NOLA.
