The Buy
April = new spring shoe drop. Shop a great spring shoe for every price range:
👟 Under $25: A No. 1 best-seller, these arch support flip-flops feature a yoga foam footbed and just look like vacation.
👟 Under $50: This cushioned footbed sandal is ultra-comfortable, thanks to soft leather, a small platform, and an adjustable web strap (it’s also 50% off).
👟 Under $100: Go for fresh white tennis shoes with Vionic’s court sneaker that’s top-rated by 200+ five-star reviews.
👟 Under $150: Get ready to hear compliments when you wear Clarks’ newly dropped floral wedge, available in black, white, or red.
👟 Under $250: This newly released wedge espadrille from patricia green is worth the splurge, thanks to its chic nautical design and sporty grip sole.
This week, I had a chance to visit the new upstairs space at Murray’s Creole Pub. It did not disappoint. Had the Maque Choux Risotto, which was delicious, but the cocktails + dessert were also to die for.
Here’s a pro tip: Whether you’re dining upstairs or down, pair the Creole Coffee — a warm chicory coffee cocktail — with one of the desserts. I had the set chocolate, though my wonderful server said it also pairs well with the sticky toffee pudding.
The risotto is topped with salty, smoky mushrooms that complement it perfectly.
