New Orleans: Day 1

Sister and I have arrived in New Orleans for our annual shopping, dining and cocktailing spree with bestie R (of the Uptown Acorn) and bestie J.

After quite a debacle getting out of Atlanta (think missing flights, losing my shoes in security, encountering an ice cream sales man, getting stuck next to another telling awkward off color jokes) and whiling away our morning at the XpressSpa (a unsuspected slice of heaven amongst a gazillion news stands and $10 luxury shop), the boys whisked us directly to one of our fave shoppes Mitch's and the home of Oysteria!

We did an extensive tour of their gorg home, soaking up all of the new purchases and tweaks since our last December visit, and then caught up over cocktails in their parlor.

Supper was an exquisite affair at Clancy's on Annunciation Street. The French Creole eatery is undeniably a New Orleans institution!

After supper we headed back to Oysteria for their Art for Arts Sake festivities. We spent a lively late evening choosing a few new pieces to add to our collection and enjoying the company of Oysteria proprietoresses Monique and Leslie.
