Manolo, Jimmy, Michael, Marc...

Just a few of the men that were all over my feet this weekend. No, I'm not cheating on Jay...we went for a FABULOUS, MUCH needed getaway to New Orleans on Sunday and did lots of shopping! I had so much fun at Saks trying on beautiful shoes and dresses and Jay even treated me to a GORGEOUS Marc Jacobs clutch! It's so classic, my grandkids will be able to carry it one day. But we really got down to business at drumroll please....UAL!! Yes, they have an even better one in NOLA. To the right, you will find Valentino, Dolce, Michael Kors and ever other top designer for WAY less. They also have a rack of clothes STRAIGHT off of the runway. Even though I didnt indulge in these (still) expensive pieces, I got lots of great pieces from A Common Thread, Free People, Velvet, etc and Jay got some cool Genetic jeans and we both love the Nation T's. These clothes are so cute and so so cheap! I also got a cute dress at Hemline and a couple pairs of shoes at Blink. Oh and some Citizens at Jean Therapy. I'm telling you people, its insane how much money we saved by going to these stores. Above all else though, Jay and I spent some AMAZING quality time together. It's been a hectic past month with him traveling so much and his parents here and my head putting me in bed every day so we had so much fun just being together! Oh and by the way, we actually found a Vegan restaurant on Magazine St...woohoo! :)

Speaking of Jays parents...we made it...LoL. They are so sweet and we love them to death but they're just different. They're not Christians and that itself says alot but it's so heartbreaking to be around them knowing you're doing all you can to be a witness to them and yet you never know if it's going to be enough. This weighs heavy on both of us. We had a good time though. They completely spoiled us. I didn't cook once, they took us to dinner every night. Jay, Ms Sharon and I went to see Iron man one night and it was super cute. Not too boyish and Downey is really funny in it. Ms Sharon came into the studio for a session with me and it was so nice. She looked beautiful and bought everything...and treated herself to some jewlery and a HOBO..shes so hip now..LoL. Amy was determined to let Ms Sharon know how hard I work (this has been an issue) and I think it worked. I think she FINALLY respects me as a working wife...she never realized what I actually do! Yay!

Well, today starts a new week. I had to double sock it on my "wog" today due to the blisters all over the bottom of my feet. Never will I wear wedges around nola again. Lesson learned. Hope you weekend was great!
