Shop My Outfit:
Happy Monday! Our hearts are full and so are our tummies after a fun weekend in New Orleans. These photos were taken in the French Quarter near Jackson Square. If you’re wondering what I’m holding in my hands, it’s a Cafe Au Lait from Cafe Du Monde. We didn’t take a lot of photos this time, but I couldn’t resist getting some pics by these beautiful buildings. I will share more about our trip soon, but first wanted to show this red teddy bear coat that I wore on the first day. It would be perfect for Christmas if you’re trying to be cozy and casual.
Teddy coats are really in right now and I’ve wanted one for a while. I finally ordered this one in red because I knew it would be perfect for Christmas. It’s so soft and cozy that I never want to take it off. It’s so comfortable I could literally sleep in it! I love that it’s casual and can be styled with dresses or jeans. I opted for a dress because it’s more comfortable and a little dressier for going out. I also added a statement necklace to dress it up.
I’m surprised to find that the coat is actually warm. It was a bit chilly at night in Nola and this kept me plenty warm. It could also be layered with a thicker coat. This one runs large, so for a tighter fit I recommend sizing down.
Are you done with Christmas shopping? Stay tuned, I’m doing a bonus post this week with my favorite Amazon prime picks.
Aww so fun! Their coffee is seriously the best. And love your coat! So fun for Christmas!

Isn’t it so yummy?! Jake and I loved the beignets. I had some over 10 years ago and still talk about him and he agreed they were amazing. Anytime I see them on a brunch menu I think of ordering them. Thank you so much. It is soo soft. I hope y’all had a nice weekend.
You look amazing, Courtney! That coat is so perfect for this time of year. And isn’t Cafe Du Monde the best? I could go for some beignets right now.
