no matter if you’re hitting Bourbon Street, The Strand, or your friend’s backyard (hi 🙋♀️), you can still dress the part. Mardi Gras is the perfect opportunity to let your sartorial freak flag fly. When else are you encouraged—nay, required—to don such a flamboyant trinity of hues all at once? So whether your look calls for a ballgown, sweatpants, or some weird mix of both, grab your krewe and your beads and let the good times roll.
Abby Ledoux traded Canada’s border for Mexico’s when she moved to Texas from northwestern Vermont in November 2017 to join the staff at Houstonia.
An alumna of Emerson College’s journalism program in Boston, Abby was previously associate editor of three weekly newspapers in her home state of Vermont. There, she covered everything from Bernie Sanders to the heroin epidemic and won numerous state and regional awards for her work, including the Vermont Press Association’s 2014 Rookie of the Year. She was also an investigative reporting fellow at the New England First Amendment Coalition.
Today, Abby is excited to explore Houston’s vibrant, diverse culture (and shopping scene). Aside from fashion and design, she’s passionate about politics, hip hop and Mexican food. She believes leopard is a neutral and red lipstick can fix almost anything.
