Y'all...I have never lived close to a West Elm before, so last week when I got invited to a private preview of the new West Elm that just opened in New Orleans, I was preeeetty excited to say the least.  I mean, I'm an hour away from one of my favorite home stores...this could get dangerous.  The store is absolutely gorgeous (I'm in love with that instrument display) and I am pretty sure I started mentally shopping about a minute after walking through the doors.

A group of lifestyle bloggers including Aimee of Aimee Broussard, Graham of Glazed and Confused, Emily of Louisiana Bride Blog, Juley of Upperlyne & Co., and I were invited to see the store and have a private tour with the company's creative director, Vanessa Holden!  It was kind of amazing!
