The Gauze Button Front Shirt You Need This Spring

Morning everyone!! Before we head into Easter weekend, I have a little holiday treat for you. Today is the official drop of the Beachside Gauze Button Front Shirt that I collaborated with Gibsonlook on. This boho-chic shirt features an oversized fit with an exaggerated shirttail that covers your backside while still showing off your legs on the sides, which is so flattering. It’s super lightweight & breathable and when it comes to all the different ways to style it, THE LIMIT DOES NOT EXIST!  This is almost my third year working and collaborating with Gibsonlook and it’s always such a pleasure working with them because they alway put my Haute off the Rack girls first when it comes to designing pieces we know you’ll love. I’m so honored and grateful that they choose to partner with me each and every drop!

MY SIZING AND HEIGHT FOR REFERENCE:

Most people don’t realize how petite I am and I understand that knowing my sizes can help you determine what size to get.

 I am 5 ft and post baby I currently wear a size 28 in high waisted jeans and smalls/mediums in leggings. I’m still breastfeeding so my bra size fluctuates, but right now I wear a 36B and take a size S/M in dresses and tops, smalls/mediums in sports bras, and S in outerwear.

Ponte Jogger Leggings:

 size down for more fitted look or go TTS for comfort

Meant to fit like a jogger with a cuff at the bottom // features a pockets on both sides that fit your whole phone

Super high waisted // really hold you in while still super stretchy

These new jogger leggings are revamp from last fall. You all loved them so much we decided to tweak them and make them even better. The fabric is crazy comfy and stretchy and the jogger style gives the leggings a more relaxed effortless look, which I love. If you want a more fitted look, size down or get your regular size a comfy relaxed fit. Don’t worry they’re still just comfortable if you size down. I got them in both the XS and Small!

Disco Cowgirl Party Decor Ideas

Howdy y’all! I threw an epic Disco Cowgirl themed party this past weekend for my Eve Parade krewe and we had an absolute blast. Everyone’s costumes were amazing even the guys too because yes, we decided to includes the cowboys!

disco cowgirl themed party

In case you missed it, I started my own Mardi Gras krewe/float in the Eve Parade this year, which is an all female parade on the Northshore in Mandeville. This year it has doubled in size so I’m super excited to ride in it next month on Friday, February 10. More details to come!

Anyway back to the party…Since I’m the lieutenant of my float I thought I would throw a fun themed party to kick off Mardi Gras season to get everyone excited. Usually I host King Cake tasting party, but this year I decided to kick things up a notch and go with a cool trending theme: Disco Cowgirl.

@gloevents_bychloe did such an incredible job with this entrance into the party. I love how she lined the stairs with candles and disco balls and then draped pink and white baby’s breath over the staircase that cascaded all the way down to the floor. I had @thegracefulhost.shop hang a curtain of silver streamers with valance at the top to transition this simple staircase into the perfect photo backdrop.

@gloevents_bychloe hung all of these disco balls from the ceiling and then wrapped them in pink and white baby’s breath to tie in the pink color and give it some added texture.

I love how @gloevents_bychloe also used the pink baby’s breath to create this beautiful tablescape complete with pink sequin runners, disco balls and and pale pink candles.

champagne cart

We rented an adorable self serve champagne bar from @corksandconfettirentals and it was such a hit at the party especially when the bar was backed up! I highly recommend renting one of these carts for your next event for your guests to enjoy. It’s also perfect to place at the entrance of your party for your guests to grab as they walk in. You can use it as a self-serve cart or you can hire a bartender to work the cart.

We had a full service bar outside, but we also served two specialty cocktails: a Yeehaw Margarita and a Disco Cowgirl Paloma | How cute are these disco ball drink stirrers? We hot glued tiny pink hats to a few of them to go with the theme.

Unfortunately, I don’t have photos of the mouth-watering food, but I hosted the party at Meribo where they serve delicious pizzas and pastas!

rhinestone boots

Fun Fact: Blake is wearing the same suit he wore for our wedding five years ago as his costume with some snakeskin cowboy boots that he got from amazon and a western belt buckle. He bought his cowboy hat from a local western store, this one (here) is similar.

Kismet Cosmetics Glitter Bar

The party featured a glitter bar by @kismetcosmetics where my guests could get their faces bedazzled with my exclusive glitter blends: Stardust & Haute Boogies Nights. We also offered lip touch ups, which was perfect for photos and you could even purchase the glitter and lip colors too. This was such a cool feature of the party that we actually already booked them again for parade day! Super fun for bachelorette parties, kids parties, music festivals, concerts, big events and especially Mardi Gras

360 Photo Booth

360 photo booth

The 360 photo booth that we rented from @b1studiollc was hands down, the best part of the party! We had so much fun dancing and making videos in the photo booth. I highly recommend booking a 360 photo booth for your next big event because it encourages your guests to have fun and get creative. It really helps them let loose and gets them excited to get back on the dance floor. They’re also hilarious to watch the next morning. It was seriously such a blast! I keep trying to think of reasons to throw another party just so I can use the 360 photo booth again.

I’m obsessed with these rhinestone cowboy boots! They were absolutely perfect for the party, but they would also be so much fun for concerts, bachelorette parties, Nashville trips and even Vegas! If you’re a bride, don’t even hesitate for a second to get these boots because trust me, you need them! I also linked to some other snazzy boot options below.

I already own the Drew Barrymore x Walmart toaster, air fryer and crockpot so I figured why not get the pots and pans too!? Just kidding I’ll be gifting this 20 piece non-stick cookware set to one of my  family members! Not saying who though because it’s obviously a surprise.

mini frige

How cute & convenient is this mini fridge? Perfect for mini drink cans and even for storing your skincare products too. It’s on sale for $25 so it makes a great White Elephant gift, but I actually decided to keep this for myself.

Cute & Affordable Winter Outfits

Happy Monday Friends! I can’t believe Christmas is this week! So much left to do over here as we’re hosting Christmas morning with our family and we have two littles destroying the house everyday at home. LOL

Fortunately, Walmart has been a huge help with delivery so I don’t have to wrangle up these two crazy boys to go to the store. I’ve been having all of my groceries delivered and Christmas presents too. I don’t even know how moms survived the holidays before the luxury of delivery. Anyway, enough about that. What I really wanted to share is how cute these outfits are that I scooped up from Walmart. Not only are they super flattering, but they’re also very affordable too.

black cowboy boots

These faux leather leggings are only $15 and they look just like the super popular ones that cost $98! They can easily be dressed up or down and they’re perfect to wear with oversized sweaters. You can also pair them with a cropped sweater and a longer piece of cozy outerwear to complete the look.

This Velour Knit Robe so soft and comfy and I love the festive color for the holidays. Plus it’s only $20! I swear I own all the comfy robes from Walmart because they’re so cute and affordable. It’s all I wear around the house during the holidays. See more options here–>Cozy Loungewear Under $35

I suggest sizing up in this sweater and skirt because they run slightly snug. I’m wearing the small in the sweater here, but I would have preferred the medium for a more relaxed fit. Also, if you haven’t hopped on the western boot trend, I highly suggest that you do. I absolutely love mine.

Style Tip: Roll the sweater under your bra instead of tucking into your skirt avoid extra  bunching in the tummy area.
