Is it normal to celebrate a vacation MONTHS in advance? Well, that’s pretty much what I’m doing with today’s post. Last week I booked a trip to return to the city that will always have my heart: New Orleans! Officially, we’ll be there to celebrate the 50th New Orleans Jazz Fest in April, but you know we’ll be visiting all of our favorite restaurants, bars, and nooks while we’re in town.
My first trip was a girl’s trip with my mom for my 21st birthday and I’ve been going back at least two times a year since then. I think one year I squeezed in three trips just by chance. It’s always an interesting conversation to have with your boss about how you spend all of your few personal days going to one city.
Since I’m completely jazzed about returning to the Crescent City, I wanted to share some of my favorite New Orleans and Louisiana based accounts with you. I’m always looking for more on my IG feed. So, if I’m missing something good, be sure to let me know!
- Haute of the Rack: This recent bride, Jennifer, is one of the cutest bloggers out there! She goes on some of the most envy-worthy trips and I just love how relatable she is.
- A Pinch of Lovely: Just down the river in Baton Rouge, Krystal has an IG page that will make you instantly fall in love. I can only describe her style as timeless, but still incredibly down-to-earth and real. AKA, someone everyone should be following!
- The Grove Street Press: When in New Orleans, this design shop has to be on your list of places to visit. They have a little something for everyone and every occasion. Bonus points, their store in the Warehouse District is perfectly historic and dripping with charm. Just say the word, and I’m willing to move in.
- Nola Val: I’ve just recently started following Valerie, but seriously wonder why I’m so late to the game. Her pictures are everything you should love about New Orlean’s architecture and history. Plus, you can visit her Etsy page and bring one of her photos to your home.
- David Nola: I am officially declaring David the king of New Orleans photography. Every time one of his pictures pops onto my feed, I instantly have a smile on my face and desperately wish I had the ability to teleport. He perfectly captures the spirit of the city.
When I visit, in April, I’m going to send so much content your way to help bring the city alive! I know that’s a long way off, but until then, if you have any questions, requests, or recommendations, be sure to let me know!
Love from NYC,
Katie
P.S. When your favorite store (J. Crew) makes a tee for your favorite city, is there any way you can really resist?
