Dispatch From New Orleans

Cool fleur de lis goodies

I don't post much about retail goods, preferring to focus on the food, shelter and music of New Orleans.

But these shirts are so delicious, fleur-delicious to be exact, that I had to include them.

This woman-owned store is called Fleur De Lis Fashions and it operates online from Slidell, Louisiana.

This pink shirt with rhinestones is so appealing. Note that this is the back of the shirt, and the front has a smaller design. In my perfect world, this would be the front of the shirt. (See the front of the shirt.)

See the shirt here. The online store also sells fleur de lis earrings, necklaces, watches, and more.

Read about the history of the fleur de lis symbol.

Fleur De Lis: House emblem

Here's a giant cream-colored fleur de lis emblem on the front of a taupe Mid-City double. This is a good sign of New Orleans pride.

Fleur De Lis: Napkin holders

Found at Linens 'n Things on Veterans Memorial Highway and Clearview.
