Everything is Better with a Little Glitter

Happy Mardi Gras!! 


The past five days have been absolutely phenomenal.  Since this week is spring break, we could go out to the parades every night and know that we have 5 whole days to rest up afterwards.  

I absolutely love the spirit of New Orleans, and this carnival season has just entrenched that feeling even more.  

Here are my majorette boots that I embellished for Mardi Gras with some gold glitter, because, really, everything is better with a little glitter.  I'm going to miss the New Orleans costuming.  Really, no where else quite knows how to do it.  I can't tell you how many over-the-top, semi-professional, home-made costumes I've seen in my time here, and how much I'm going to miss that enthusiasm next year in Charleston.

  1. Just beautiful!!! And what a fun outfit! I know you enjoyed it on the big day. Oh and the Mardi Gras parade photos are really nice, tricky time to shoot, in the evening like that and with the combination of natural and artificial light. Well done!
