Join us at Essence Music Festival! #NOLACrawl in New Orleans

Happy 4th of July guys! I hope you're all enjoying your beautiful holiday. I'm sure quite a few of you are reading this from the sunny streets of New Orleans as many of you are down there for the Essence Music Festival. I had a blast when I attended last year for the first time.

For those of you who are there, and for those who can't be there but want to follow along in the excitement, myself and some of my favorite fellow bloggers Jessica of Glamazons Blog, Danielle of The Style & Beauty Doctor and Lexi of LexiWithTheCurls are hosting our very own #NOLACrawl!

What exactly is a "crawl"? Well it's very similar to the Fashion's Night Out Crawl we all collaborated on last September. We made quite a few stops all around NYC that evening in celebration of FNO. And you guys, our lovely readers and friends, came right along with us! Here's a video to jog your memory:
