New Orleans Magazine

Editor’s Note

In September, it feels like we have rounded the corner of summer, and although the days are still steamy, we have fall right around the corner to look forward to.

For many it’s a time to get things back in order. School is back and kids (and their parents and caretakers) are returning to a routine of carpool, after-school activities and homework. Vacation time has been taken. Work routines are in place as the days grow shorter.

As the summer wanes, for many it’s a time to make those changes they may have put off while languishing in the humidity — fall cleaning, organizing, and finally planning that big move. Whether you are selling your home, are a first-time buyer or moving to a new apartment, it’s a stressful experience, no doubt.

And for New Orleanians, moving also entails many unique factors, from packing up that costume closet to managing movers in the midst of a heatwave (could it get any hotter?!) Our cover feature reviews the best ways to beat the moving New Orleans moving game, with tips on how to get things done without losing your stuff…or your mind.

September also has many of us looking forward to switching out our wardrobe from seersucker and linen to fall fabrics and cool weather accessories. We’ve curated the best looks for you or the men in your life, so no one misses a beat and looks great all season long.

Finally, as always, we have a calendar full of events, places to dine and imbibe, recipes, style guides and much more.

Getting back into a routine doesn’t have to be a drag. Our issue is chock full of fall inspiration to keep you rocking and rolling through the season as we transition from the long, hot days of summer to the cool(er) days of autumn.
