Yes, I’m talking about the little black boot. Nothing crazy, just a chic, comfortable pair that gets the job done. Unlike a sneaker, a boot can be worn in a meeting or out to dinner. Unlike a pump, a boot can be worn to […]]]> https://www.myneworleans.com/shop-talk-the-covery/ Fri, 01 Sep 2023 13:00:06 +0000 https://www.myneworleans.com/?p=147594 If you’re over 35, you likely visit your list of doctors on a regular basis. But what about making time for alternative sources of healing and preventative health? This is where the art of wellness comes in. If you’re new to the term, it’s simply a buzz word to encompass any activities to help manage […]]]> https://www.myneworleans.com/the-bag-that-carries-it-all/ Wed, 30 Aug 2023 20:02:35 +0000 https://www.myneworleans.com/?p=147881 If I were to open my purse right now and explain the contents it would take a while. As a busy, working mom and staunch saver of things, my bag’s interior looks like a rummage sale and CVS got married. Aside from the obligatory wallet and keys, things like Band-Aids, Starburst wrappers, an expired gift […]]]> https://www.myneworleans.com/top-colors-for-your-fall-wardrobe/ Wed, 23 Aug 2023 20:58:19 +0000 https://www.myneworleans.com/?p=147345 The word “trend” is a tricky one for me. I love fashion but am increasingly concerned with our mass consumption of it. In the current fast fashion environment, garments are overproduced and disposed of like napkins at a BBQ. Trends only last a few weeks, touted by celebrities on social media for a quick buck and […]]]> https://www.myneworleans.com/the-case-for-protein/ Wed, 16 Aug 2023 20:26:06 +0000 https://www.myneworleans.com/?p=147038 When I was a young girl approaching womanhood in the early ’90s, the diet and nutrition business was booming. Like most between the ages of 12-16, I was thinking a lot about my figure. Thinness seemed obligatory and muscle definition a very distant “nice to have.” By far the most loudly touted course of action […]]]> https://www.myneworleans.com/first-day-of-school-self-expression/ Wed, 09 Aug 2023 22:06:34 +0000 https://www.myneworleans.com/?p=146858 Back in grade school, the first day of school felt like a new beginning. A chance to debut the things you’d picked up over the summer. Maybe you’d gotten taller, mastered a new hobby, traveled to a far way land or just felt different somehow? But whatever it was, that first day back seemed the most opportune time to debut this updated version of yourself. Your “you.0.”  So, what better way to head into the school year than with a few […]]]> https://www.myneworleans.com/carpool-but-make-it-fashion/ Wed, 02 Aug 2023 22:44:04 +0000 https://www.myneworleans.com/?p=146660 We are about to begin yet another school year and I can barely recall last year’s daily carpool routine. However distant a memory it all seems, something I do recall every single year is the feeling I’m fashionably unprepared for after school activities. True, my after school hours only comprise about four hours of the […]]]> https://www.myneworleans.com/shop-talk-from-the-big-easy-to-the-big-apple/ Tue, 01 Aug 2023 13:00:56 +0000 https://www.myneworleans.com/?p=145028 After 15 plus years as a New Orleans-based artist, Ashley Longshore is headed to the Big Apple to sow her wild, glittered oats. It’s a loss for New Orleans of course. We’ll miss her flamboyant Magazine Street gallery, proudly displaying rotating tongue in cheek mantras via window decals. Still, she plans to keep New Orleans in […]]]> https://www.myneworleans.com/fall-clothing-buy-now-wear-later/ Wed, 26 Jul 2023 19:05:39 +0000 https://www.myneworleans.com/?p=145464 As the summer heat peaks, we’re all pining for cooler weather. Though it never comes as soon as we’d like, it eventually surfaces. And when it does, you’ll need to be prepared. Why not take the opportunity right now to stock up on a few fall/winter quality pieces while they are on sale? Yes, it’s painful […]]]> https://www.myneworleans.com/the-importance-of-balance-and-stability-exercises/ Wed, 19 Jul 2023 19:31:49 +0000 https://www.myneworleans.com/?p=144667 I have always trusted my athletic abilities. Rarely (ok never) an A+ student, my physical capabilities long served as a source of pride and even a pseudo security blanket for my ego when faced with challenging academic endeavors. To this day, the thought of a high school physics exam conjures dreadful feelings of self-doubt. But […]]]> https://www.myneworleans.com/come-on-barbie-lets-go-shopping/ Wed, 12 Jul 2023 19:07:41 +0000 https://www.myneworleans.com/?p=144414 In the 1st grade, my best friend Katie and I played with our Barbies together every day. You see, by some magical coincidence my family rented the home next door to hers while our real home was being renovated. Which meant, there was seemingly no end to our time spent managing Barbie’s social calendar.

A scene in a catalog for folks summering in cooler locales. If your legs need TLC and/or are tragically pale (like mine) you’ll need to give them proper attention before the hemlines creep up any further.   If there’s […]]]>
