As the jasmine blooms and the city hums with music, May in New Orleans arrives — fragrant, festive and full of beauty. This month’s issue invites you to step into the season with ease, and a touch of magic.
We begin in an enchanted garden, where our fashion feature unfolds beneath oak canopies, among blooming vines and bright lily pads. The looks, modeled by Natalie Elise Steuer, are effortlessly elegant, styled for sultry days and champagne evenings.
Next, we feature exquisite fine jewelry from local retailers, each piece an example of artistry and character that can be passed down from generation to generation. Whether you’re investing in an heirloom or discovering something new to love, these selections are meant to be treasured.
We celebrate the city’s generous spirit with our Registry of Charitable Events — a calendar of causes close to the heart. From galas to garden parties, these gatherings remind us that giving is always in style.
We’ve also included a delicious pesto recipe (complete with wine pairing) that brings the freshness of the season to your table, a curated guide to Mother’s Day gifts, and our signature roundup of what to see and savor around town this month.
Whether you find yourself lingering in your own garden, toasting under twinkling lights, or simply enjoying the slow luxury of a quiet morning, we hope this issue brings you joy.
Cheers!
