New Orleans 300 Gravier Street 504.523.6000 SHOP Magazine Street (between Joseph and Jefferson Street) This area is two blocks with every type of store that you need to knock out your Christmas shopping in an afternoon! Mimi, Azby’s and Angelique Shoe are great when you need the perfect dress, outfit and shoes. If I need lingerie 66 PEACHYTHEMAGAZINE.COM photo from Windsor Court Hotel website Windsor Court Hotel (photo right) The Windsor Court Hotel is a little outside of the French Quarter and has always been considered one of the most luxurious hotels in the city. Purchased a few years ago by locals who wanted to maintain its reputation, this New Orleans gem has been lovingly renovated and updated. to wear under this amazing new dress/outfit, I head to Basics a couple of stores down. I buy baby clothes and gifts at Angelique Baby and children’s birthday gifts at the wonderful toy store, Magic Box. My tween girls love B Kids clothing store…it has all the latest and appropriate clothing for their age group. Earthsavers has the perfect birthday gifts for my friends and every beauty lotion/potion you could want or need. Scriptura is a beautiful stationery store, a perfect place to find a NOLA original gift. Hazelnut has great knick-knacks for the home, and I always find something unique… like the New Orleansthemed toile wastebaskets, shower curtains and Kleenex holders. The best part about this shopping strip is it’s less than a mile from my house and locally owned, so everyone is extremely helpful and pleasant.
