Touring Avery Island

I lived in Louisiana for five years and my husband was born and raised there. It is safe to say I have hit almost all of the touristy spots around the “boot” during my life as a Louisianan. For whatever reason, however, I never toured Avery Island, home to the world’s most renowned hot sauce, TABASCO®! That’s right, the fiery red topping you can always count on to give your food a kick is made, bottled, and shipped to over 180 countries worldwide on this very island.

But there is more to Avery Island than the TABASCO® factory…a tour of Jungle Gardens is a MUST! The 170 acre semitropical landscape exemplifies nature at its finest. Ride along the bayou admiring the Spanish Moss, bamboo, and live alligators. Stop and enjoy the blooming Azaleas, then make your way up the path to a shrine, housing an ancient Buddha. A setting like this calls for one thing: Blog Pics!

How does a California girl dress for a day in the swamp? In lightweight clothing, of course! Living in San Francisco, for the past three years, has turned me into a fair weather snob. It is safe to say that my tolerance for heat and humidity is nonexistent. As demonstrated here and here, I dressed for the tropics, during my Louisiana tour.

I decked out in another two-piece set, but this time, a skirt and top combo from Current Clothing. This look is a knock-off of the popular label, Faithful The Brand. Constructed out of a cotton and gauze blend, this pair was perfect for the swamp-like conditions. I styled the look with a boho tassel necklace, my go-to gladiator sandals, and a black floppy hat. Prepared for the sun to go down, I carried a black fringe jacket just in case.

Add Avery Island to your itinerary during your next trip to Louisiana. In the meantime, shop this outfit at Current Clothing, or text (415-980-4772) to order. A special thanks to my bff, sister, and part-time photographer, Ava Trimble, for capturing the moment.

Pom Pom Beanie and Distressed Denim

If you follow me on Instagram, then you witnessed my Khloe Kardashian moment last Friday for New Year’s Eve. Long story short, I asked Kristin at the Red Chair Salon to give me Khloe hair and she nailed it. Anyway, I had another one over the weekend in my new pom pom beanie from Jess Lea Boutique, and gold earrings. I thought it was good enough to share.

I cannot stress enough the importance of accessorizing. Maybe I am preaching to the choir, but this look perfectly demonstrates how the right add-ons can transform a look. In all seriousness, without the pom pom beanie this outfit would be lacking pizzaz! When creating this look, I started out with a cute black and gold striped tee. Going for an edgy vibe, I paired the top with black distressed jeans – my answer for everything lately. While there is nothing wrong with jeans and a tee, I took it up a notch, incorporating a cape blazer into the mix. These toppers are quite possibly the chicest pieces of the season. Further embellishing the outfit with a tassel necklace, gold jewelry, and a taupe handbag, it is safe to say this black on black ensemble went from bland to fab in a matter or seconds.

I hope Khloe K would approve!

Poncho Sweater

Sleeveless outerwear is trending this season! You have probably already noticed this trend blowing up Instagram. Chances are high your favorite fashionistas are rocking sleeveless trenches, fringe vests, and sleeveless sweaters like it’s their job. Well, since you’ve already seen version one Sleeveless Sweater, today I am presenting you with version two Poncho Sweater.

Who doesn’t love a cozy sweater to curl up in on a crisp autumn day?! Especially when it is one that you can take from day to night. The poncho sweater, my friends, is a must-have item. Slip one of these on with a pair of leggings and boots for an effortlessly chic look, that happens to be just as comfortable as your pajamas! When it is time to hit the streets for happy hour, throw on some distressed denim, a pair of pumps, and off you go. I chose option two for this weekend’s activities and paired my poncho with dark blue ripped jeans and nude pumps. When you have a petite frame and you’re styling a shapeless garment, the more height the better – I didn’t want it to look like I was swimming in the thing!

I accessorized with a long tassel Kendra Scott necklace (thank you Rocksbox!), green bangles, and a taupe purse. Riding the pom-pom bandwagon, I attached a brown fluffy little thing to my handbag for a bit of flair. Yay or nay on the pom-pom fad?! Call Current Clothing (415) 400-5517 to order this ensemble, or shop similar styles below. Let Nancy know that Kelsey K sent you!
