Adore April 2022

FROM THE EDITOR

M aybe it's the spectacular weather we've had these past weeks, or the fact that we are having Jazz Fest, or maybe it's the exuberant performance and Grammy wins for New Orleanian Jon Batiste, but I can't help but feel a pep in my step and a renewed sense of energy. Creativity and talent is all around us, and it's beyond uplifting and invigorating. In this issue, we shine the light on some of the creatives that make our community so vibrant. I hope you enjoy meeting these artists, creators, and entrepreneurs. Just reading about their diverse backgrounds and expertise motivates me to want to venture out this season to revel in all the city has to offer. As we head towards May, we have so much to look forward to — parties and weddings, Mother's Day and graduations, first dips into the swimming pool, and hopefully lots of travel. It's time for the annual house refresh and Spring cleaning, a change in wardrobe, and plans for hitting the beach or taking a much needed vacation. In the following pages, you'll find inspiration on décor, fashion, gifts, and everything you'll need to greet the warmer months with as much sparkle and enthusiasm as we've enjoyed this glorious season.
