December 21, 2012

Something about zebras lately, I can’t resist. How cute are all these gifts?! A little ashamed to admit I have 3 of the items below {here, here and here}, and I am craving the oversized sweater. Next purchase maybe?

If you follow me on instagram, you know I love taking photos on the streets of New Orleans. One unique thing, I’m sure I capture far too often, is the street tiles that line each corner. We certainly have a different way of doing things down here, even when it comes to labeling our own streets!

Nolatiles creates replicas of these historic street tiles, making the perfect gift! Not to mention you can have them customized too! Whatever name, saying, or house number you would like {sip, nola, cheers, saints…. just a few of my personal favs}!
