Another Family Trip in the Books ✈️

  

Bourbon Street was a little wild, but when you’re with the people you love, it doesn’t matter where you are or what you’re doing. As long as you have each other, you have everything. 

If every bad thing we’ve suffered as a family, even the moments of pain we’ve endured, has brought us to be together at this moment, I’m OK with it…at least in this moment. 

Goodbye NOLA 👋🏻🃏

  

This Yves Saint Laurent lipstick is like clouds on your lips! The color selection was really limited in the area I live in, but I’m really happy with this one. If you want a cheaper dupe, try Mac’s “Impassioned.” Both colors are very similar. 

It was my first time to NOLA and it sure was fun. We really “laissez les bons temps rouler.”

Update: I have just been informed about Wet and Wild “What’s up Doc” and Milani’s “Flamingo Pose” are sooooooo close, too! Can’t beat the price. Credit to: Lisettee Duran 

Made for a Queen 👑

 

I seriously love this top. I’m really into off the shoulder looks right now, too. I’ve had so much fun in NOLA, so tonight, I’m going to wear this out to dinner. 

I always hate goodbyes when I see my brother, but I’ve got lots of fun things planned ahead. I’m really looking forward to a spring break Texas road trip that Melissa and I are taking in two weeks and a Dwight Yoakum concert and Strawberry Festival that Lissette, Melissa, and I have coming up in April. Stay tuned!

Top: Zara $34

Jeans: Joes Jeans $198

Alone Time

  

In a non-depressing way, I’m used to spending a lot of time alone. It’s not necessarily that I like being alone, because I live and die for the people I’m here with (mom and bro, FYI), but I needed a little by myself time, so I went down to the hotel lobby to get a cup of coffee and watch the marathon runners go by. I’m really enjoying New Orleans, by the way! 

I’m wearing this cardigan again and am really digging it; so much that I wore it again this morning. And I just had to snap a selfie in it.

Dainty Jewelry 

  

Every now and then, we need dramatic jewelry, but I still love small, dainty pieces. This horse necklace is under $3 at Forever 21. 

It’s been such a long time since I’ve posted to the blog! I had some issues when I got my new phone. Also, feeling so blessed to be spending the weekend with the sweet Duran Family.
