Heart of Dixie

 Unfortunately I did not have time to blog from my little trip to Mobile, AL last week but I wanted to share some images of the new town I'll be calling home.

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

Throw Me Something Mister

 

The parades, beads, music, costumes and fun. Oh how I miss Mardi Gras! Since I can't be in my homestate of Louisiana today I will have to console myself by sharing a few of my favorite things from home. Happy Mardi Gras and Laissez Les Bons Temps Roulez!

The Smoking Slipper

It's the hot shoe of the season. From J Crew, Miu Miu and Alexander McQueen to the tried and true Stubbs & Wootton. Originally designed for the Victorian gentlemen's smoking room, the smoking slipper has been spotted on everyone from Olivia Palermo and Giovanna Battaglia to Kate Moss and Alexa Chung. I am seriously coveting this pair from Miu Miu!
