Pretty Pants!

Spongebob might like his square pants but I'm in love with these pattern pants! There is nothing better than coming home from work and putting on these super soft, fashion savvy leggings. A printed lower half is what you'll be seeing a lot of this summer. So get on board!

 The pants and top are from DKs Style Hut. Like them on Facebook and see some more awesome finds!

When I asked MK for a hint about where we were going on our trip he said "Great Food!" Well that could really be anywhere but once we got to New Orleans and started eating, I really understood what he meant because the food was to die for! One of my favorite things in the world is seeing the culture of other places and of course their cuisine. The Foodie in me was in heaven; from famous Po Boys to even more famous Beignets at Cafe Du Monde, you could basically close your eyes and point to a menu and you wouldn't be disappointed. 

Oyster Po Boy ordered at the advice of our waitress. 

 Jambalaya!

Cafe Du Monde only serves Beignets and coffee and you'll be lucky if you find a seat. 

When booking this trip MK said it was an absolute requirement to stay in a hotel that had the infamous New Orleans balconys. Not only was this hotel beautiful inside and out but the service was fabulous. 

Both of us being photographers, when we saw our balcony we couldn't stop taking photos there.

That's Bourbon Street right behind us.

Being a dancer my whole life, I often fight the urge to strike a pose. Often times I loose that battle.

Where else can you see a random parade in the middle of the day for absolutely no reason? Here of course! Such an amazing trip and of course I couldn't leave without getting a Bloody Mary! 

Shop Local When You Aren't

One absolute rule that I have when traveling is to always buy a few pieces of clothing while away. More often than not you can find things that aren't available where you live. Also, those articles of clothing or jewelry will always remind you of your trip. 

I came across a store I have never shopped in before called "Wish". It's a chain in the south originally out of Houston TX, it's quite fabulous. 

Whole outfit is from Wish, shoes Just Fab, headband from Simply Sweet.

This fab top is from Wish, shoes Just Fab, skirt forever 21.
