Rue Magnolia

I had a ladies' lunch today at Le Cafe' Beignet along the Rue Magnolia in downtown Biloxi, MS. It is a beautiful area lined with salons, art galleries, and locally owned restaurants. Cafe Beignet is newly opened and a great addition to the area. They serve fresh seasonal salads, sandwiches, and desserts such as bread pudding and of course, beignets. 

Le Cafe Beignet is located in a restored Creole Cottage and displays the flavor of the area. 

Dress: Pinup Couture "Dee Dee"

Wire headband: Girl is a Gun from New Orleans, LA

Purse: Antonio Melani

                  Shoes: J.C. Penney                               

For those of you who have never been to the South,a beignet is a kind of deep-fried doughnut topped with powdered sugar. Here it's served with sweet cream chicory coffee. Any trip to the South is incomplete without an order of beignets. 

Beautiful interior

                                                                                   

                             

                                               

Love the kitty painting inside! The owner has paid attention to every detail of the decor. 

                                

I can't help but twirl when I wear full skirts. 

                      

Skyrockets In Flight

As you might remember from last week's blog, I featured my French Quarter dress from Trashy Diva. One of the best things about taking pictures with the Trashy Diva girls in the boutique is that it gave me the opportunity to buy a new TD dress, which I wore on the 4th of July. 

Dress: Trashy Diva "Dixie" in Skyrockets print

Shoes: Unlisted

My sunglasses: Forever 21

Mike's sunglasses: RayBan Wayfarer

Snood: Ebay

Mike (because he is an awesome husband) has wanted me to get this dress for a while. He is a sci-fi aficionado and loves the old-school rocket ship print. Of course, I wanted to wait until it was marked down. I came upon the online sale a little late and was horrified to find my size had sold out! Luckily, when I went to Trashy Diva in person, I tried a different size and it worked!

I ordered a red snood and watched a few YouTube tutorials on Victory Roll hairstyles, which I'm still trying to perfect. 

You can't help but twirl in a Trashy Diva dress!

I told Mike he was a great husband because he is loving and supportive, and he said, "Yeah, whatever. You just love me because I buy you Trashy Diva dresses." 

And when we kiss.....

Fireworks!
