I’m still in New Orleans, it has been go go go over the last few days. I tried to take some photos along the way. It is hard when everything around you is so beautiful, you just want to take it all in. It’s also super hot here compared to what we are used to up north. So outfit choices were not something to write home about (ignore the flip flops, my cute heels were hard to walk in).

We explored Rachael’s neighborhood in the heart of all the Jazz Fest craziness

we found drive thru daiquiris

We went on the CBS, New Orleans Morning Show


We skipped the Crawfish

and went for the Margaritas

and then we hosted a clothing swap with Rachael at the Occasional Wife




Part 2…coming soon.

I am in New Orleans this week to hosting a event with my friend Rachel. It is Penny’s 2nd Birthday today and its killing me to be so far away from her (crazy dog lady… I know). So after looking at hundreds of photos of her today, I thought i’d share some. Happy Birthday my pup.

Thursday was our Earth Day Clothing Exchange at The Fourth Wall project. We had Pacifco and Cakeology on hand to keep us well fed and hydrated. The Closet Boston donated a truckload of designer items to seed the Swap, so if you weren’t there you missed out BIG time (don’t let it happen again). If you read this blog regularly you might notice my obsession with photo booths. I try to include them in every occasion, but I think the one I created for this event takes the cake.

As soon as I get a little taste of spring I want to spend all my time at the ocean. Adam was heading up to York Beach on Sunday to help our friend paint his new beach house. So I thought it would be nice to make a mini vacation out of the trip. We packed a bag or 3 and headed north. My friend Robyn so kindly offered to watch all 3 of my pups, but Penny crying in the window as we packed the car crushed my heart, so she tagged along too.

We spend a lot of time in Maine so we tried to explore a little of Portsmouth this weekend. Also the Sowa Market is expanding to NH this Summer and I thought it might be a nice fit for the Haberdash.

I was worried with all the Swap traveling I have going on this summer, I would be neglecting The Haberdash. I’ve decided to enlist the help of another pack rat, vintage lover, and old stuff expert to run the online shop. Welcome Linnea to the Haberdash Team! You can count on her to bring affordable, on trend vintage straight to your desktops!

Friday night was date night, Adam has been working a lot at the Fire house lately. So by 5pm friday I couldn’t wait to get out of Boston and head home to him and the pups. We went out to a cute little steak house for dinner and stopped to see some friends quickly before heading home to snuggle with puppies.

Wearing: D&G Sunnies (c/o Shades Daddy, Swapped Jacket, Vintage Dress and boots, Marc Jacobs Bag.

Saturday was my friend Thais’s Birthday party, I spent the afternoon doing crafts and eating cupcakes. Then we had a mini slumber party, because we had early plans for Sunday.

Sunday we meet up with Adam, Chris and Julie for pancakes and opening day of Todds Farm. Where we bought up every piece of vintage jewelry for me (no really dont even bother looking, wink wink) and every piece of antique fire fighter equipment for Adam. Penny was so exhausted from her her puppy slumber party, she slept the whole way home. Did you do anything fun this weekend?
