INSTA #NOLA

This past weekend was spent in New Orleans with some truly fabulous people. Our purpose was to meet with the bloggers of New Orleans to promote community - both their own and the community of Two Point Oh! PLUS. Our latest project. That and to eat EVERYTHANG.

I don't normally do these Instagram round up posts, and it's not generally something I'm planning on doing in the future, but since I'm, personally, relatively new to Instagram (I insisted that the "instagram I'd been using for years, Hipstamatic X Tumblr was sufficient. It was not) I thought it might be fun to share a few snaps and rather bluntly insist you follow me there too.

So enjoy these NOLA snapshots. Fully grown posts are on their way.

Pavement Princess: In Which I Am Voluminous

The last of the catch up outfits! I wore this to a fancy afternoon at Mr C's in Beverly Hills. Where we were dined and Bellini'd till we were stuffed, got a wonderful tour of the hotel and even got to meet Ignacio Cipriani himself. All very glam (and yummy).

I'm obsessed with this H&M skirt - I'm willing quilted fabrics to come back with a vengeance. I love quilted fabric and the silhouettes it creates - and I also quite enjoyed pairing it with the "Bloggers Uniform" - a chambray shirt. A nice play on textures if ever there was one.

What I Wore: Shirt: JCrew, Necklace: Robbin Bros (I won it in a raffle...!), Skirt: H&M, Bag: JCrew, Boots: Ancient, Bracelets: LOFT & Courtesy of Capwell.

Pavement Princess: In Which I Am a Delicate Ballerina. Ha. Ha.

In the spirit of outfit catch up I'm posting this alley-ballet shot (hahaha). I wore this incredibly pretty LOFT dress to a fun LOFT party, in celebration of the opening of their new pop up on Robertson. I very rarely wear my hair up - when I'm out and about anyway, and it's so long at this point that I can quite easily achieve these giant buns with no hair donut help at all.

I'm dying to cut it all off though. Thoughts on these hair cuts?

What I Wore: Dress: LOFT, Necklace: LOFT, Ballet Flats: Topshop.
