As May arrives and the city prepares for summer, we are delighted to present an issue that celebrates the art of escape, effortless style and giving back.
We’re especially excited to share this month’s cover story, featuring the effortlessly chic Ellie Mantis, founder of Ella Barlow. A true jet setter, Ellie brings a natural sophistication to our resort fashion and jewelry feature. Shot at the stunning Chartres 1883, a historic rental property by Dear Valentine designed by Logan Killen Interiors, the images feel both transportive and right at home.
This issue also reflects the heart of our community. We are proud to share our seasonal registry of charitable events, a curated guide to the gatherings and causes shaping the philanthropic spirit of New Orleans.
You’ll also find insight from Molly Kimball, who offers expert guidance on pet nutrition, because caring well for those we love extends to every member of the family. In the kitchen, we celebrate an extraordinary milestone with a decadent mushroom crepe recipe from Tujague’s, honoring 170 years of culinary tradition and enduring excellence. And don’t miss Around Town and our Arts Calendar by Sue Strachan, which are filled with exciting happenings you will want to keep in mind.
As always, our pages are filled with discoveries designed to inspire, from style and society to dining and design. Whether you are planning your next escape or savoring the beauty of home, we invite you to linger and enjoy all that this month has to offer.
Thanks for being part of our world. We’re so glad you’re here.
