For your Wanderlust…

As expert travelers, we all know that there is no cure for our wanderlust until the next adventure, but I’ve found that these travel & lifestyle blogs can really help:

• A Modern Wayfarer
• Mister Weekender
• Miann Scalan
• The Love Assembly
• Vagabondish
• The Culture-ist
• HonestlyWTF
• Tuula Vintage
• Thrillist

Each blog has a unique take on the different facets of travel. The Culture-ist has some great think pieces and photo essays, Thrillist is known for their love of adventure and crazy attractions, Tuula Vintage and The Love Assembly combine fashion and travel in a flawless manner, and my new favorite, A Modern Wayfarer, has great personal posts in addition to interviews with other rad globetrotters!

Check them out and let me know what you think! Also, if you have any other recommendations leave them in the comments below! I don’t think you can ever follow too many good blogs! 🙂

Late Night Jam Sesh

Summertime was my inspiration for this new playlist. I am in desperate need of a little fun in the sun. Hopefully this playlist transports your mind to a warmer, happier place like it did mine.

 

Artists to Watch

Currently obsessing over these two amazing artists:

Isle Valfré

and 

Jenny Liz Rome 

…To call the artwork of these lovely ladies brilliant and bad ass would be the under-statement of the century, which is why I suggest you head over to their respective websites ASAP so you really understand just how talented they both are!

NOLA: Spring Break 2014

NOLA/ Nawlins/ New Orleans was hands down one of the craziest cities I’ve ever been to. Admittedly, we did get there just in time for Mardi Gras 😉 …But trust me, this city has NO shortage of activities. 

The Big Easy treated us very well, and if you haven’t been yet, you are missing out on, what is in my opinion, one of the best cities in America. 

New Orleans is beautiful–inside and out. I was swoon from the get-go. The culture of this place is unparalleled to any other city I’ve been to in the U.S.. The music, the food, and the pure love of life that exudes from every street corner is something to revel in.

My friends and I were in New Orleans for 5 days and by the end of the trip we were all wishing we lived there. The vibe of NOLA is super relaxed and if you just let yourself wander, you’ll stumble into the most incredible things and truly get the most out of this city:

• The French Quarter
• Bourbon Street (Hand Grenades & Huge Ass Beers)
• Frenchman Street (Live music >>>)
• The French Market & Shopping District (The flea market and vintage shops are to die for!)
• Take the trolley up and down Canal Street (Hop on, hop off, get lost!)
• Any and every side street (Seriously, they’re all great and have something unique to offer.)
• Hole-in-the-walls for local food (I can die happy knowing I stumbled upon the best Creole food in New Orleans…)

Who’s been to New Orleans before? I’d definitely like to go back again and would love to hear more suggestions!
