A couple weeks back, my friend Jeffrey and I ventured out into the Bywater to shoot on the bridge near Crescent Park. This was my second time shooting there, but it was by far the most fun. Especially since I wore this gorgeous high-low skirt from Od.Aomo . It's so elegant and I love how it flowed against the rust colored bridge.

High-low skirts are great to have when you can't decide whether or not to wear a mini or floor-length skirt. You get the best of both worlds. They're also a great way to update your basic 'party skirt', and are extremely flattering on most body types. And not to mention being just plain fun to wear. I felt like a princess in this one. 

I paired this one with an embellished tank, black strappy heels, and accessorized with my usual array of gold jewelry and an animal skin clutch - also by the designer. 

Be sure to stop by Od.Aomo's Facebook Page and Instagram to see her latest designs!

Hipster Weekend : Part 2 [ Maurepas Foods ]

          Dishes pictured above - Stone Ground Grits, Chorizo Sandwich, (Beet) Soda, Goat Tacos, Mint 
      Cookie Sandwich, Angel Food Cake - 

             Now for part 2 of this post - THE FOOD !! 

    I had been to Maurepas Foods once before and was blown away. This lovely little Bywater spot specializes in locally grown organic foods and keeping things simple.

The menu might appear to be non-descriptive and boring but believe me, you will want one of everything. The goat tacos for example (yes, I said goat. Calm down) never in a million years would I have chosen that for lunch. But after hesitantly sampling one from my Dad I was hooked. You just have to try them. That's it. 

Another one of my favorite things on the menu is......dessert!! (Shocking, I know.) There really are no words to describe how amazing the mint chocolate ice cream sandwich was. It's my favorite thing. It made me question why I had been eating any other kind of dessert at all. The flavors were fantastic, and don't get me started on the angel food cake. I can't even. Go try all of the foods, you'll thank me later.
