Creole.

Since 1905 Galatoires has remianed one of the most elegant restaurants in New Orleans. Nestled on Bourbon St., Galatoires honours tradition and NOLA customs in a variety of different ways. For one, they don't change their menu, they really stick to the good stuff. Another interesting thing about Galatoires is that the staff take their time to get to know their regulars. They also have a huge menu with a delicious array of foods. MMMM

Tucks.

Tucks Mardi Gras Krewe is probably one of the biggest and most fun parades that takes place during Mardi Gras. Although a parade is an event that im not exactly farmiliar with executing, it does seem like a pretty awesome event to be a part of. The Tucks Krewe began in 1969 formed by a group of Loyola University students. Since then it has grown to be one of the most humurous daytime parades that stretches through the downtown core of New Orleans.
Basically people, its time to hightail it on to a Tucks float and get down, get down!



Where's Waldo?






Check out this video of Tucks Krewe parading in 2010:

Movember.

You should really try out this moustache favour thing. It seems a little cheesy and a tad immature, but it will totally lighten up your wedding or party. That is if it needs lightening up. Could you imagine your mom with a killer stash!

Hello November. Hello Decor.

I hope everyone had a great Halloween. I personally couldn't wait for it to be over :) I want winter, and I want snow. Not to mention buying costumes and going to 4 different parties, having to wear 4 different costumes is annoying. But yay! for November. There is more on Nola to come. For now check out this homey, wintry, and lovely decor.

Bridal Picnic

This is probably my second favourite wedding I've ever seen. Who doesn't like a picnic. I mean, I haven't been on one since grade 7, but I really enjoyed it! Picnics are so romanticle and pretty, and it creates a great care-free, relaxed environment. Not to mention a tonne of venue space to use and abuse any way you want.
Check out this picnic wedding, photographed by Lisa Devlin, and prepare to fall in love.
