Day Two in New Orleans was just good for my soul.

This black t-shirt dress is a travel staple. It folds or rolls up nicely in a carry on with minimal wrinkles. For dinner, I paired it with a lightweight button up black cardigan. The best part? It’s only $30. Shop this outfit here.

👟💕 My day started off with a long walk down Canal Street and down the riverfront. I was so disappointed to see that the aquarium and butterfly conservancy are closed! At any rate, I needed to burn off some serious calories after all that I’ve eaten in Nola. 🥰🥣🐊🦐

🦞🥣 Speaking of food, we stopped into Felix’s for lunch. (I was not wowed by our breakfast.) Crawfish Étouffée, Turtle Soup, Jambalaya, Gumbo, Oyster Stew, and Crawfish Pie. Every last bite was impressive.

🥃 From there, we toured the Sarzerac House, which boasts to have created the *original* New Orleans cocktail. It was a totally free tour and worth the stop. Swanky!

🎶 No trip to New Orleans is complete without taking in live music. The Drinkery never disappoints with its live music…the band even sang a song for me. 🥰

The Drinkery has the best bands in the French Quarter.

🥂💕🍾 Dinner was at Augustine – a two star Michelin menu never disappoints. That may have been the best escargot I’ve ever put in my mouth. 🐌

I was WOWed by dinner at August.

The adventure continues today so stay tuned. I can’t wait to show you my outfit for dinner tonight!
