This is obviously not today’s actual outfit. Ben and I went to Zeus last weekend and these are our outfits! For those of you who don’t know what Zeus is, count your blessings and think of it as a fancy dress up prison event. 

Today is for homework and later class. I still haven’t found my book for tonight. (the class is Part II, but I didn’t know I had to take Part II so I don’t know where the book is) I do think I will find it in time! I kept it in case I had to have this class. So I am thinking about going to New Orleans for the day tomorrow. I guess it will depend on if I get the majority of my homework done today.

Helllloooooooo! I had a lot of fun today. I finally got to see Becca after A WHOLE WEEK apart. Let me tell you, that was no fun. I guess that means I am packing up my bags and following them wherever they go. :) I had the opportunity to shoot in one of my favorite buildings today for the first time!! Literally, I almost could not stand how happy I was..I was that happy. Maybe I will share some of the photos with you guys later this week! 

I hope you all are enjoying your week. For those of you at Carey, I hope you all are having a good first week back. I am…eh. not-ish. This trimester is just going to be a lot of work and I am already concerned. Oh well. Just gotta get it done!!!

For this week’s Sunday Spotlight, I stopped by John White, Ltd—one of my all time favorite places!! This store is also one of my parent’s favorite stores. They really have stuff for everybody!  They have great clothes for women and men. And for you men out there looking to rent a tux—this is THE place to go!! I enjoyed talking to both Janet and John White about the store and can’t wait to visit again!

What inspired you to open?

John had already co-owned another store for 13 years and I had just graduated with a degree in merchandising, so it just seemed natural.

What do you love about fashion?

I love that fashion is ever changing. Reinventing itself.

What is the best part of owning your own store?

The best part of owning my store is that I (and John) am the boss. If something is good and retails it is great, but if it does not do good it is my fault, no one elses.

What is the worst or hardest thing about owning your own store?

The hardest thing is the hours. We work all the time.

Do you have any favorite items in the store?

All the items are my favorite! I hand picked them!

What are some future goals for the store?

Future goals are to keep doing what we love to do. John and I have been blessed to be able to do what we love to do and actually make a living at it.

Do you have anything you want to add?

Mardi Gras season is coming to an end, and we have set a new record on tuxedos and gowns! We have a lot of happy customers and that is the best reward ever!

This dress is by far my favorite item in the shop!! (maybe in any shop! it is flawless)

Don’t forget to “like” them on facebook!

Hello!! I probably should have gone to bed forever ago, but I was determined to finish this and finish scanning old photos. :) I hope you all have had excellent weeks. Mine has been busy but good. I only have one more day of freedom before my Spring Trimester starts. I am kinda dreading it. I wish I could just live a life of a 24 hour viewing of The Office. Sadly, I cannot…
