Best of all, though, come here to decorate your house. While the rest of the country is taking down the holiday decor, NOLA is putting up the purple, green and gold lights, garlands... even keeping up the tree with a whole new look (that's the case in my house). Beyond Carnival season, it's smart to come to Plush Appeal rather than a corporate chain like Party City etc because this store is enormous and likely has what you need to fit any party theme. Truly a one-stop for holidays, parties and costumes. If tourists find it, they'd never overpay in the souvenir shops again.

You know, the one who puts out their seasonal decorations before everyone else. And Halloween is my season! Of course Marshall's has great deals on clothing, shoes, and housewares too. Today I found lots of great shoes on the clearance rack. The prices were crazy low. My only gripe is that their housewares department is smaller than most other Marshall's.

Incredibly well curated, high quality vintage with first-class service! I don't usually venture to…read morethe FQ, but had to feed my vintage clothing obsession, knowing that this shop is associated with New Orleans' beloved Trashy Diva brand. This place was an absolute treasure trove of beautiful clothing and accessories. Y'all, this is not your average "Talbot's from the 90's" stock that many "vintage" stores contain (and yes I understand that 90's qualifies as vintage these days!) This is the place to go for a show-stopping special occasion dress from the 1940s, with intact jeweled buttons and a peplum detail at the waist. Or a flowing silk robe from the 1920s with a bold print of fans and florals. Or a beautifully carved sweater clip to accompany the fur-collared cashmere from 1950s. You get the picture! Now, this shop will have a higher price point than your average dig-through-the-rack vintage, because literally every piece is a gem. That said, the pricing is incredibly fair for what you are purchasing! I will treasure the pieces I bought from my visit last weekend, and can't wait to return! I also want to add that the shop employee Kim was just top notch! She was knowledgeable of each item and a joy to talk to. This place is a MUST VISIT for any vintage lover!!

And it cost you $10 so STFU already. The one on Canal Street is several times larger than any of the Rainbows I've been to here in the Oakland area; the manager said they weren't even the biggest store in town! I bought bunches of sun dresses and wore them all week. Thank you, Rainbow! Note: there are two stores, one is all women's clothing, the second store is two stories, kids' stuff and plus sizes.

They also have accessories like shoes, jewelry, and purses. I went in this particular store to buy some cheap flip flops as my current shoes were hurting my feet and we had much more French Quarter to explore. They had plenty of shoes to choose from. There were two registers going, but the people ringing up orders were not moving at any great pace, so the line was quite long. Not a store I would go to for anything of quality, but it's great for cheap flip flops and jewelry!

I'm not sure I would have stopped if my partner hadn't pointed out the little doorway with the red painted wall inside. Walking through the plastic air curtain opened up to a shop that held so many fun patterns and a wide variety of colors! I hesitate to use the term "boutique" because Red Lantern seems more casual than that implies. There's no pretension, but plenty of whimsy. Service is equally relaxed but helpful. You won't feel pressured. Pricing isn't cheap, but it isn't outrageous either. The shirts I bought were reasonable, especially since I can't find the patterns anywhere else. My partner also found an amazing dress that I'm certain she'll enjoy for years to come. Red Lantern really seems like a hidden gem on Royal!
