Yup, that is in fact my husband, Thomas shopping in the French Quarter for some new summer clothes. Where’d he stop? Gnome, French Connection, UAL, and Urban Outfitters were all on the list.

Southern Street Style: Seen at Freret Market

Learn more about Kate and wear to buy what she makes after the break.

I ran into Kate McNee at the June Freret Market. While everyone was wilting in the hot weather she really stood out in her neon vintage Hawaiian style dress. Kate makes these crazy good fascinators and tiny hats. I love how festive these little pieces of art are, perfect for anything from a quirky cocktail party or even a wedding. For purchasing info and her contact information click here.

Southern Street Style: Seen on Magazine Street

I love this week’s pick for southern street style. Every summer I go into survival mode and keep cool vs. creating stylish outfits. The only way to beat the heat and humidity is by having a few reliable wardrobe staples to get you from here through October. I like to call these pieces my summer survival uniform.

 Liz snapped a picture of this lovely lady and I imagine she’ll get a lot of wear out of her wonderfully wide leg, wispy trousers these next few months. Throwing on some tried and true accessories adds a personal touch to any outfit and I love how she keeps the silhouette simple but piles on the details with her jewelry and bag.

Southern Street Style

To borrow a phrase from Bill Cunningham the real fashion show is in the streets. I have had numerous requests for street style photos but I’m a one woman show holding down a full time job in addition to my freelance writing and this site. There is only so much one person can do! That said I’m pleased to announce a new segment here, Southern Street Style. Liz Beeson has joined the team to bring y’all interesting, stylish southerners that she snaps on the streets of New Orleans.

We are going to do our best to showcase the best of what the south has to offer and please let us know what you think of our new venture! You might even see us on a street corner near you.

Who: Luci, 22
