Hey everyone, sorry that I didn’t post anything yet today. I’ve just been super crazy busy, but all for very good reasons! Today, I had an interview with the editor of 225 Magazine because they are running a feature on me in the 225 September Fashion Issue to promote the Avenue Rouge Fashion show on September 27, 2012. You can read all about it once they release the issue this September! Needless to say, I’m ecstatic! Also, I’ve been emailing back and forth with Amanda Uprichard and AG jeans for upcoming collaborations as well as going through all of the Johnny Was Fall 2012 look books and line sheets for that upcoming feature. Just to give you a little heads up, Amanda Uprichard is sponsoring a giveaway with Haute Off The Rack in early Fall to promote the relaunch of their website so get excited to win a piece from her amazing Fall 2012 collection!

The necklaces below are two of my favorites pieces by Saint Claude, one of the featured designers that will be present at the trunk show this Sunday during the Baubles and Bloggers Brunch!

Pictured below is today’s arm candy and what I wore to the 225 interview. View more of these pictures on Instagram @Jennifarrr! Also, feel free to shoot me an email at Jenn.hauteofftherack@gmail.com if you’re interested in where any of the bracelets are from!

Below is a sneak peek of tomorrow’s outfit post!

The Fall Forecast: Lambskin Leather Vest by Izavel

Photos by: Max Zoghbi

Outfit: Emma Wax jeans (DL1961), Nude silk and lace tank (J. Crew old, but similar (here), Lambskin leather vest (Thank you to Izavel), Leopard booties (Gojane old, but similar (here)

Jewelry: Wrap watch (La Mer from The Villa), Black studded cuff (J. Crew old, but similar (here) rings (vintage and Banana Republic), Glass cameo necklace (Brenchley)

Good Morning readers! I don’t know about you, but something about delicate silk and lace paired together with leather just does me in. I love how the leather toughens up the the sweet dainty lace and gives off that bad girl vs. good girl look. What do you think?

Did you see when the Izavel lambskin leather vest was first featured in The Fall Forecast with Izavel below?

P.S. I forgot to mention that my best friend Jessica did my hair for these outfit posts. All she did was was part my hair down the middle and braid back the two different sections diagonally. Then, she bobby pinned my hair into a huge bun and wrapped the leftover pieces around the bun to hide all of the strays. She did an excellent job!

Good Morning readers! Remember when I told you about IZAVEL on Sneak Peek Sunday? Well, here it is! Isabel Varela, designer of IZAVEL and I decided to give Haute Off The Rack readers an exclusive first look at her Fall 2012 collection. Get ready for some Fall trend forecasting with this incredible contemporary womenswear line based out of Dallas, Texas.

I actually styled this lambskin leather piece with three different outfits to show the versatility of the vest, and unsurprisingly the vest added that WOW factor to each ensemble. That just goes to prove that sometimes all you need is one new item of clothing to freshen up your wardrobe and give you a whole new look. I had a blast styling IZAVEL’s Fall 2012 collection, and I hope you enjoy seeing Isabel’s fashion forward designs as much I loved styling them!

IZAVEL Company Overview:

IZAVEL creates sleek modern shapes to give an unexpected twist to classic, tailored styles. Handcrafted from start to finish with luxurious fabric, each piece will allow you to convey individuality, confidence and style that is truly one of a kind. Inspired by everything from architecture and music to everyday objects, IZAVEL creates fashion-forward details with stark asymmetric silhouettes which work together to bring a unique twist to each of her designs (IZAVEL Facebook page).

P.S. I will repost this once Fall 2012 actually rolls around!!

Mint Chip by Rory Beca

June 13, 2012

Photos by: Stewart R. Sheilds

Outfit: Mint Chip tie front blouse (Rory Beca) <– SALE item, Black dress shorts (Urban Outfitters old but similar here), Seafoam Wedges (The Brighton by Dee Keller), Cat eye sunglasses (Urban Outfitters)

Jewelry: San Benito pendant necklace (VSA available at Park Lane in Lafayette), Gold cross necklace (Love), Two tone watch (Michael Kors) Classic Pave’ link bracelet (J. Crew), Leather hobo purse (Marc by Marc Jacobs)

Good Morning readers! How beautiful is this Rory Beca blouse in Mint Chip? Out of all the bright, pastel and neon colors flourishing this season mint green still remains my favorite, and Rory Beca just so happened to create the perfect shade and combination of mint green and sea foam for her Spring 2012 collection. This silk top contains just the right amount of fabric for that effortlessly chic look where it fits loose for comfort, but still holds a feminine shape. Rory Beca’s bio says that her underlying goal is to design clothes that make women feel pretty, sexy and comfortable. I can personally vouch that her line does indeed make a woman feel all three of those characteristics. If you’re interested in more pieces by Rory Beca, you can search select boutiques worldwide and select Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Neiman Marcus, as well as online at shopbop.com and revolveclothing.com.
