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!!

Outfit:  Sheer cold shoulder top (LF stores),  Printed high low skirt (Rodeo),  black heels old (BCBG)

Jewelry/Accessories:  black fringe purse (Brenchley),  Virgins Saints and Angels necklace (Eros),

Brass gold earrings (Forever 21),  Gold and horn watch (Michael Kors)

Shanghai Express lipstick (Nars)

Morning everyone!  I picked up this skirt from Rodeo in Baton Rouge and just had to show you!  It’s such a fabulous skirt!  I paired it with on of my favorite tops from LF that I bought a few summers back in La Jollla, California.  If you’ve never been to an LF store I highly recommend finding the nearest location to you!

P.S. You know I had to add a pop of color somewhere so I used a matted red lipstick called Shanghai Express by Nars.  Lipstick is such a great way to incorporate some color into your outfit!

Hi everyone! I’m so sad that weekend is at its end, but here is an outfit post to cheer you up!  These pictures are from the freezing cold, rainy day photo shoot.  As you can see my hair is looking a little dreary, but I think the red high low skirt really takes the stage in these pictures anyway!  The color just pops and I think the printed top and black ankle wrap heels kind of adds some edge to the outfit.  I’m wearing two cuffs from Banana Republic that I bought for 40% OFF!  What a DEAL!  I suggest keeping up with their coupons and promotions because you can get some awesome deals and steals there.  I applied some red matte lip stick (suggested by Jade Younger) to pull the whole look together.  In a previous post I talked about high low hems adding a dramatic effect to the outfit and turning heads.  What do you think?  Would this skirt catch your eye?

Here is a Sneak Peak of the next outfit post with F.I.F, Gretchen Barnes:
