Glamazons,

It’s that time of the year again where everyone flocks to New Orleans for the Essence Festival. Glamazon Jessica will be down there for the second annual #NolaCrawl – meet up with her at the first-ever #NolaCrawl style suite on Saturday, the Eden Bodyworks #CelebrateMyBeauty event on Friday and of course, at all the concerts. By the way, if you’ve never been before, I highly suggest you plan a trip. It’s loads of fun, great food and fantastic music. Plus, you can meet some of your favorite celebrities just frolicking around the Convention Center.

I’ve been to Essence Music Festival several times but on my first trip, I wasn’t prepared and I learned firsthand how to dress stylishly and comfortably for the occasion.

Here are some tips:

-First, I suggest bringing both heels and flats. It’s a lot of walking so you may want to ditch those heels at some point during the day.

-Also, remember: it’s HOT in New Orleans. I promise you have never felt heat like this before! Pack clothes that will keep you cool. Maxi dresses, rompers and shorts are great places to start.

If you’re heading to Nola this weekend, here are a few outfit ideas for strolling down Bourbon Street or hitting up a day party. I also included a few looks for strolling the convention center and partying at night. Let’s get to it!

Love it! Have fun for me. I’m staying home this year. Let me know if you’re going. And make sure you say hi to Glamazon Jessica who is getting her life with the second annual #NolaCrawl! Enjoy.

Fashionably yours,

Glamazon Jamiese
