The time has come me to take a vacation – one that's literally a vacation – no weddings, no fashion shows, no meetings. Just pure fun.

What I consider a holiday isn't everyone's cup of tea. In case you haven't realized, I like to be busy. So flying out to a beach resort and being still for a week just wouldn't work. Therefore, for the next week, Mr Style and I will be on a #dixietrip.

We're traveling from New Orleans, LA >> Clarksdale, MS, >> Memphis, TN >> Nashville, TN >> Chicago, IL.

The #dixietrip! We've been in New Orleans for less than 24 hours and we've already experienced so much! The above iPhone snaps are just a smattering of our fun.

The good news is, because I'm incapable of "switching off", you can follow our adventure "live" through Twitter using the hashtag #dixietrip – you can also find updates on Facebook and photos (which will go to Twitter anyway) via Tumblr. AND because he's decided "if you can't beat her, join her" – Mr Style is tweeting along too here.

If anyone has any advice, tips or just wants to say hi – feel free to tweet at either of us – but be sure to use the #dixietrip hashtag!
