If you’ve grown up in New Orleans, you may, like me, carry a trace of skepticism about spring. You might think to yourself, it’s when the city really shines, arguably the very reason to live here and the season that converts wary tourists into true believers. But for me, as the days grow warmer, an old familiar thought creeps in – the heat is coming. Beautiful, mild days with their gentle breezes feel almost suspicious. Not a promise but a prelude, a gateway into the full force of summer.
In this fleeting window, before we brace for the inevitable, there’s an invitation to savor it. To live it up. To slip into cute jeans or a maxi skirt without breaking a sweat. To indulge in the luxury of a light sweater, just in case!
Peony is one of those Magazine Street boutiques that truly comes into its own in the spring. The shop has perfected the art of the feminine, romantic frock with racks flushed with European labels that make you feel like you’re roaming a charming Parisian boutique. So, who better to turn to for inspiration as spring creeps toward summer? We asked what they’re wearing this season and what’s making them excited to savor the moment.
