Check it off the Bucket List: Mardi Gras in New Orleans

Last week I spent my spring break checking something off my bucket list: I spent Mardi Gras in New Orleans, Louisiana. Fortunately, I have some good friends who are from the Big Easy (shout out to Kristen and Jessica!) who they showed me what Fat Tuesday is all about. I went to parades, ate my fair share of king cake, tried crawfish for the first time and even attended a Mardi Gras ball. Overall it was the perfect way to spend spring break.

Readers-- do y'all have any vacation plans coming up? What would you like to check off your bucket list?
I loved this girl's Alice in Wonderland-inspired outfit!

I'm a big fan of Maurice Sendak, so I loved this Where the Wild Things Are-themed float!
The King and Queen of the Rex Ball (check back later this week for a royalty-inspired styling post!)
