Friday Fixation: {actually, more like an obsession}






























































I promised you photos earlier this week of the glorious day we spent in New Orleans. In the French Quarter to be exact. I tell ya, I'm completely smitten with this city. She stole my heart.
Every glorious detail is magnified as if under a looking glass. From the lush flora to the time-worn pavers underfoot, it's all larger than life. Somehow real, but not. This city is a fantasy come alive.
The last two snapshots are of a courtyard in the most spectacular home I've ever stepped foot in. Its classic New Orleans architecture made me feel faint. No, seriously, lightheaded. The building now houses a shop, Antiques de Provence. Think every beautiful item you ever imagined from the French countryside and it's there. In multiples. If you're ever in New Orleans, this is a must visit. A must.
An all around perfect day. I can't wait to go back. I hope you too enjoyed the virtual visit. I dare you not to fall in love.
