FROM THE EDITOR

S pring is the season of rebirth and new growth, so it is fitting that we shine the light on creative women that nurture and celebrate culture in New Orleans. Their passion is inspiring, and their many ideas for igniting the creative spark within us all helps me recharge and refocus on my own favorite pursuits. In New Orleans, beauty and joy surrounds us, and I love how they take what they see, feel, and hear in our city, filter it through their own lens, and enhance life through self-expression and innovation. It's definitely something to celebrate. And we have so much to look forward to in May — Spring parties and weddings, first dips into the swimming pool, gardening, beach trips, and the annual household refresh. School is almost out, and you can feel the heightened excitement in the air. It's all about fun. In this issue, we feature the clothes, décor, gifts, and goodies that are as happy as we are to greet the warmer months.
