sharing my New Orleans vlog. As some of you know, I went to New Orleans a couple

of weeks ago for a quick weekend trip and I'm really excited to share what I

saw, what I did and mostly what I ate during my time there. So if you like to see

a little bit of My New Orleans then let's get started!

I'm fortunate enough to be married to a New Orleanian so I get to travel to New

Orleans a few times a year and this was a quick weekend getaway for me

My first stop was to a vegan restaurant called Seed. I learned about it from a

fellow YouTube NextUp er - Jasmine Rose

She's a gorgeous beauty vlogger and she happens to be vegan. She fell in love

with this restaurant during her trip this summer and so I knew I had to try it.

The first thing we ate were there nachos which had cashew cheese and cashew

sour cream.

It's so good that even my meat eating husband loved it. I had the

raw Pad Thai as my entrée. It had carrots and cucumber noodles and was a perfect

summer dish.

My husband had the pan fried eggplant po-boy with a side of kale. It was all very

flavorful and really delicious. I'd recommend it to anyone

We also ate at what is probably my favorite restaurant in all of New

Orleans Baru. Baru is a wonderful Latin and Caribbean restaurant on

Magazine Street.

My favorite dish there is the Guacabello. It's avocado and mushroom on large

tortilla chips. We also had their black bean and kale empanadas as well as the

Louisiana Camarones al Ajillo. We tend to stick to their tapas but they also have

delicious entrées.

No trip is complete without a visit to the French Quarter. I love heading there

to shop, eat, people watch and just walk around.

The city is full of photoshoot potential which is why I always shoot an outfit of

the day post while i'm there.

Here are some behind-the-scenes footage of an outfit shoot that I had in The

Quarters. You can see this look and Catalina's outfit of the day post on

DomesticatedMe.com. I'll link to both posts in the description box below.

Speaking of shopping. I always go to one of my absolute favorite New Orleans stores.

It's called Lucy Rose on Magazine. One side of this store has clothes and

accessories and the other side has all their home goods. I always pick up at

least 1 decor piece before I come home.

It's a tradition of ours to go to at least one John Besh restaurant in every

visit. This restaurant is called Luke on St. Charles Avenue. Here we are enjoying

their shrimp etouffee, roasted vegetables, jalapeno grits, crab omelet and fried

chicken.

New Orleans is the perfect place to go antique shoppin. We always regret that

we can't actually bring any of the pieces home with us. One of our favorite places

to window-shop is Discoveries on Magazine. They sell amazing refurbished

or upscaled pieces with really unique and fun twists.
