The NOLA Chic

I love all things authentic New Orleans culture, especially the food and people. My favorite destination outside of New Orleans would be anywhere the ocean and sand is. Writing is my passion, it frees me from all of all that comes with living in this fabulous world of ours.. I'm a strong advocate for children and the elderly. Let me not forget that I am a fashion lover, thrift stores and consignment shops are my first stops, before splurging at the mall and department stores.
