Red Hot Holidays
It’s the color of the season and this is why. Tonal dressing is very of the moment, whether it’s shades of white, gray or red. Ioanna Kourbela “read” our minds and delivered with this set available exclusively at VICTORIA, 504-265-8010.
Home for the Holidays
Something about this long sleeve, silk maxidress makes us want to grab some friends, pour some mulled wine, curl up in front of a fire and play a little Bing Crosby.

With so many charity events on her social calendar, Sarah shows us how it’s done in a pink dress by Maticevski, Gucci heels and antique-inspired earrings.
