Pied Nu

New Orleans


If you need a hand-poured candle that lasts 60 hours, try one of the sweet-smelling Diptyques on sale here. As you soak up that vanilla-scented goodness, browse elephant-printed cotton T-shirt dresses, cinched poet-dresses and low-joe sneakers. Set it all off with tiny leaf earrings – you’ll make yourself almost as endearing as this precious luxury shop.
