One of my best friends is getting married tomorrow, festivities commence tonight {in true New Orleans style}! So very excited for Sarah & Andy {couldn't ask for better friends, love y'all}. Everyone have a wonderful weekend!

THE FLY

Such a nice Memorial Day weekend. The weather was perfect. I spent a day at The Fly with some friends, threw a football around, drank some beer, took a nap {such a relaxing day}. The Fly is a park area on the river by the Audubon Zoo. Back to real life {blah}. Happy Tuesday!

SPRING TO SUMMER

My spring green onions bloomed + they are a beautiful shade of light purple. They add a pretty little pop of color to our deck. I grow everything in pots {we have a back deck only}, so I have a little bit of everything. Good New Orleans summer plants to grow are Basil, Tomatoes, Banana plants, Cucumbers, + Bell Peppers. Happy Hump Day!

A LITTLE DINNER PARTY

I love throwing dinner parties {it gives me an excuse to dress up + dote on my friends}. Last week I threw a fun dinner party for one of my best friends getting married. It was complete with a draped tent, floor pillows + greek food. It was a blast + we will had some great laughs {+ wine}. I try to collect vintage napkins + bowls + plates + wine glasses to mix + match. That way you are able to change up the theme to match your mood for the night {Moroccan anyone?}. Nothing is ever too much, just take all the things you have + throw them on the table {et voila, you might surprise yourself}.

Dinner ware + linens are from the following World Market // Anthropologie // Target // Ikea // Goodwill // my Mother's linen collection {that I commandeered}. Enjoy!
