Backstage at Frankie’s Bikinis ‘Summer of Love’ Show with TRESemmé
Hi everyone, as promised today I’m sharing my second recap post from Miami Swim Week featuring Frankie’s Bikinis ‘Summer of Love’ with the TRESemmé team. In case you missed my last Swim Week post, you can view it here—> Behind The Scenes with Beach Bunny Swimwear
You should also check out my previous recap post if you want the details on my knotted double braid created by one of TRESemmé’s talented stylists.
Following the Beach Bunny Swimwear Presentation, we headed straight backstage at the Frankie’s Bikinis ‘Summer of Love’ show to watch the TRESemmé stylists work more of their magic. After seeing all of the stunning hairstyles from the previous presentation, I imagined that the stylists couldn’t possibly top those gorgeous, undone boho braids and then they brought on the volume! However, I’m not talking about just any volume. I’m talking floral volume. The TRESemmé stylists took textured beach waves to the next level by planting flowers into the models’ perfectly, tousled manes. Yet again, the stylists killed it with epic beach babe hairstyles to match Frankie’s Bikinis fun and free, hippie vibe.
Scroll through this post for backstage photos, runway shots and what I wore with my knotted double braid.

The stylists used products from the new TRESemmé Botanique Collection to help keep the models’ textured locks hydrated in Miami’s extreme heat and humidity.
Fun Fact: Frankie Aiello was the youngest designer to debut her collection at Miami Swim Week back in 2014. What an inspiration!

My Recent Stay In The New Orleans South Market District
Happy weekend everyone, today I’m sharing a review of my recent staycation at the Ace Hotel in the New Orleans South Market District. As much as I love to travel away from my home in Louisiana, I still always enjoy a delicious staycation in NOLA. If you’re wondering what I mean by “delicious” staycation, just scroll through these photos and I think you’ll figure it out! They don’t call New Orleans the ‘Big Easy’ for nothing! In other words, the food is so good, you big real easy!

The rooftop at the Ace Hotel is definitely a must-see when visiting the South Market District.
Stop by The Company Burger for mouthwatering milkshakes, house made fries, fresh creole tomatoes and the most delicious double cheeseburgers. Oh and get this, you can add an egg to any burger plus a variety of their signature in-house mayos! Be sure to try the Fancy Mayo and Chipotle Mayo. Those two are my faves!

Willa Jean, Oh Willa Jean— a name I would be better off without knowing. I say this because I constantly find myself day dreaming about their chocolate-chip cookies served with a side of raw cookie dough and sweet milk. Y’all! My mouth is watering right now as I write this. I can’t even begin to explain how delicious their brunch menu is so you’re just going to have to try it out for yourself, but be sure to make reservations ahead of time or you might never get a table! Also, you must order one of their famous frozés (aka frozen rosé) and/or one of their tasty Bloody Mary’s!
If you aren’t too full from chicken biscuits and chocolate chip cookies at Willa Jean, swing by Blaze Pizza for dinner to create your own custom pizza and have it made right it in front of you.

How To Wear The Utility Vest Now
Happy Friday everyone, if you’ve been following along with Haute Off The Rack for the past few years, then you know that I have a whole closet full of olive vests and jackets. However, I always only wear them in the fall and don’t think I’ve ever worn one during the summer. So when I recently came across this olive utility vest on ModCloth’s site I knew I had to have it, but didn’t want to wait all of the way until fall to wear it. I was determined to style it with a summer look, but I was going to wait for the right outfit. Finally, I decided to take it for a spin with a pair of black high waist shorts and a striped tank. I love the idea of wearing fitted, high waist shorts, but then once I’ve got them on I feel so exposed. In most cases, I would have just left my shirt untucked, but then it just really defeats the whole purpose of high waist shorts so the vest was the perfect solution. I get to show how cute the shorts are from the front, but then I don’t feel so exposed in the back.

Flutter Sleeve Romper
Hi everyone, for my second post today I’m styling this adorable Jodi Flutter Sleeve Romper from Urban Outfitters. It’s the perfect breezy romper to finish out the summer in and when early fall rolls around, you can easily throw on a denim jacket or moto jacket and some ankle boots and you’re good to go especially if you live down here in the south. I love wearing lightweight dresses and rompers pairs with boots and moto jackets to get me through at award transitional phase between summer and fall.
For moto jackets, I highly recommend this vegan suede moto jacket, and for ankle boots, I’m obsessed with these->Jasper Western Cutout Booties
If you’re interested in my saddle bag, it actually won’t be out until August, but I linked to a super cute similar one here—>Suede Saddle Bag
