Tory Burch Louiisa Messenger Bag: Best Bag Ever

It has been an embarrassingly long time since my last post! I don't know how, but the time has just flown by! So, what's so great that it has gotten me to blog again... I've found what just might be the perfect bag... Tory Burch's Louiisa messenger bag. The bag comes in black, white or caramel with a detachable cross body strap that's a funky mix of leather and gold hardware and an awesome detachable tassel. The crossbody strap can be attached at two different locations transforming the bag from a large messenger to a smaller handbag with a folded over opening. The Louiisa can also be worn without the crossbody strap as an over-sized clutch, making it the perfect bag for travel and the only bag I brought on a recent trip to NYC and Philly! I actually brought a second Tory Burch strap from her Reva clutch collection that allowed me to modify the Louiisa into a shoulder bag! With it's versatility, the Louiisa is the only bag that you will need to carry you into Fall! The bag is already sold out on the TB website so, get it while you still can!

Beach Chic!


Most LA Belle's spend spring break on the snow white beaches of gorgeous Destin, Florida and this year I had the pleasure of running into some very stylish ladies. I had to snap a pic of Charlotte and Samantha sporting the epitome of beach chic with these one-piece rompers. An easy and casual outfit, yet so put together sporting the it style of the season! Charlotte's "Hot & Delicious" dark denim strapless was purchased at Rodeo Boutique in Baton Rouge and Samantha's adorable "Celebrity Pink Jeans" pink belted romper is from Vertigo also in Baton Rouge and seriously shows off her perfect tan. Both retail at under $60 for a full outfit steal!

it's pouring out!

The sky opened up in a torrential downpour this morning and it made me run upstairs and dig a VIP staple of my bad weather wardrobe out of my closet... I'd searched for the perfect rain boots for a year before buying these "Hunter Lady N's" last fall and I'm super excited for the opportunity to give them a late Spring re-appearance!  (Keep in mind it's pretty hot down here) Made since 1856 to withstand Scotland and Britain's unpredictable weather as well as protect the feet of troops during WWI/II, I figure they could survive a southern squall.  Woo hoo for Louisiana rain...

spotted: omelle (pronounced: ähm' elle)


Louisiana native Cherise Angelle has partnered with fellow FIDM graduate Nicole LaFave to create the fabulous new shoe collection they've cleverly coined, omelle.  The collection features styles that are both sleek and stunning with a playful and girly side that just screams shoe fantasy.  The combination of texture and attention to detail are truly incredible with the "Andre" shown above topping my list of favs!  Blake Lively (Gossip Girl's Serena) was just "spotted" on set donning the "Cecilia" bootie, so I'd say omelle's starting out on the right foot ...
