The entry hall display at Hazelnut in New OrleansI stopped by one of my favorite shops anywhere, Hazelnut (5515 Magazine St., New Orleans).
Handsome Tom Cianfichi getting his store Hazelnut ready forMagazine Street Retail Relief and the holiday season
Co-owned by Tom Cianfichi and Bryan Batt, it is one of the chicest stores around.
Tom was busy putting the final touches on this season's Christmas decor in time for this year's Magazine Street Retail Relief taking place this weekend.
Bryan is home in New Orleans on hiatus from shooting Mad Men, and sequestered somewhere in a secret location trying to meet the deadline for a book he's writing. It's a collection of short stories and memoirs, and I can hardly wait for it to come out.
Martini olive and sushi ornaments at Hazelnut! So cute! Tom's Christmas windows have become THE shop windows to see in New Orleans. I can only compare it to the unveiling of Barneys windows in New York.
Some say napkin rings are out, but who could resist these black buckles at Hazelnut? The staff (Katy and Ramsay) along with Tom haven't quite finished the windows. You know I will go back when they are and show them to you.
Foo dogs out? Not on your life when they are reinvented at Hazelnut in glam silver and goldIn the meantime the store is stocked with so many gorgeous, fun, and glam things for the holiday season.
Love these glitter reindeer wearing a fur piece around their necks! I especially love the martini olive and sushi ornaments!
Sparkle plenty at Hazelnut in New OrleansI just had to buy a little something, so I picked up this very spiffy peace sign cuff. Anything with a peace sign on it seems to be the gift to give this season. This bracelet was only $24.
Peace sign cuff I purchased at Hazelnut - only $24. They also have peace sign earrings and rings

ReplyDeleteThanks for this charming post.
Worth the trip to N.O. just to see this wonderful shop.
I think they are really into making people happy and joyful this Christmas...reindeer with fur wraps, olive and sushi ornaments...these are stylish store owners who have a great sense of wicked humor.
It transcends the idea of Christmas and becomes a creative moment of joy. Happy days.

I was in the store on Saturday and fell in love with the sushi and olives as well. I definitely plan to purchase them...every year I treat myself to a couple of fab ornaments from Hazlenut. My own holiday tradition! Great post.
