Everything in New Orleans is a good idea. Bijou temple-type cottages and lyric cathedrals side by side. Houses and mansions, structures of wild grace. Italianate, Gothic, Romanesque, Greek Revival standing in a long line in the rain. Roman Catholic art. Sweeping front porches, turrets, cast-iron balconies, colonnades- 30-foot columns, gloriously beautiful- double pitched roofs, all the architecture of the whole wide world and it doesn’t move.

– Bob Dylan, Chronicles, Vol. 1, 2004

Hello from New Orleans! I have completely fallen in love with this city! New Orleans is unlike any city I have been in the States. Its cultural diversity is woven into the food, the music, the architecture , etc. It really is a sensory experience! I cannot help but be in awe as I am walking through the streets of the French Quarter…it all inspires me so much!

PS: Be sure to visit again this week for more outfit, architecture, and food pictures that showcase New Orleans’ beauty.

As always, thanks much for reading & have a lovely day!
