Be Beautiful and enjoy Memorial Day in New Orleans

 

 

New Orleans often called “the big easy”  is a very beautiful city with amazing old world architecture. It is a tourist hot spot and a party town until wee hours of the morning. I have spent many getaway weeks in New Orleans.

New Orleans is just a 45 minute drive for me and a I am in New Orleans. This Memorial Day the temputure is in the 80’s and of course you have to deal with the high humidity. Make sure you dress in casual comfortable clothing and walking shoes because it is hot here! In the French quarter it is walking only, you can park your car in one of the parking lots while you are visting unless you are staying in a hotel in the French quarter.

Below are a few photos of a typical New Orleans casual look! Notice both women have hats for shade and casual shoes. If one of these photos could sum up New Orleans it would be the young lady walking the French quarter, talking on her cell and holding a famous New Orleans drink in her hand! Well can you say “the big easy”!!!!!

 

So we got the clothes down so now let’s talk hair. If you have long hair it is best bradied or put up in a fashionable pony tail because of the heat here and you will be doing a lot of walking. Also if you you do not wear a hat for shade make sure to wear a heat protection spray for your hair.

 

 

Makeup in New Orleans

Makeup can be anything from lightweight mineral makeup to very glam for a evening out in New Orleans. The best advice is wear plenty of sunscreen! Be Beautiful and enjoy Memorial Day in New Orleans
