Good Morning readers, I hope you all had a wonderful Easter holiday. I had an excellent weekend with my friends and family until Monday came along to bring us back to reality. I wish I was still on spring break like everyone else at the beach. If I didn’t have work all week I would be out by the pool in my sunnies with my Gigi New York tote full of magazines and my favorite snowball in hand- 1/2 strawberry + 1/2 pina colada with gummy bears on top! That is my signature signature snowball. Sometimes I even get it stuffed with vanilla ice cream. You should try it!
P.S. Thank you so much to Gigi New York for this fun yellow tote! It’s so versatile and I plan on using it all spring and summer long.
Have a great day!

“Doves of a feather flock together.” + Happy Easter!
Photos by: Kaela Rodehorst Williams
Order this necklace here under my Haute Looks page–> Doves of a Feather necklace
Good Morning readers, these simple yet beautiful necklaces are what Dotted Tusk and I have been working on the past month. My younger sister, Kate Palpallatoc is graduating from St. Scholastica Academy this year, which is an all girl school where I graduated from too. Thinking about her graduating from high school brought all kinds of memories flooding back. SSA is where I made a few of my best friends and experienced some of the greatest moments of my life. I wouldn’t trade those memories for the world so I decided to design a necklace that would serve as a reminder of the sisterhood she shared with the rest of her class. Considering that SSA’s mascot is the dove, I thought a simple gold feather would be the perfect charm to remind them that “Doves of a feather flock together,” and that they’ll always share connection. The song on the card is actually the Irish Blessing that we used sing to the seniors each year at the farewell assembly and graduation when I was in high school.
These are the lyrics that I chose:
“May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of his hand.”
The bottom of the card says:
This necklace was designed in honor of the graduating seniors of St. Scholastica Academy. May this feather be a reminder of the sisterhood you shared with the class of 2013.
The necklace is available for purchase under my under my Haute Looks page here–> Doves of a Feather necklace. This necklace was designed in honor of the graduating seniors of SSA. However, it is not limited to just SSA seniors. This is necklace is perfect to give as a graduation gift as well as gifts to current SSA students, newcomers to SSA, SSA alums and anyone who would enjoy a simple gold feather necklace.
It is only $30 plus tax and shipping. Please allow 3-7 business days for shipping or local pick up.
**You can also pay with cash or check. Please contact me at (985) 789-4741 or email me at Jenn.hauteofftherack@gmail.com if you have any further questions. Thank you!**
Below are photos of me and my best friends from SSA. We’re all still friends and I even stood in one of their wedding’s last week and will be another one’s wedding next year.

This beautiful cross painting was given to me from my friend Abby for standing in her wedding. She and her mom painted these canvases together to thank everyone for helping make her wedding special. It’s such a stunning painting and it’s the perfect reminder of why we are all celebrating Easter this weekend. I hope you all have a wonderful and happy Easter.
P.S. I also have a photo shoot scheduled with my sister and some her friends who will modeling the necklace for you in a blog post after Spring Break so keep your eyes out!

Good Morning readers, I hope you’re all having a great week. If not, I’ve got some exciting news for you. Caroline Gladney of Dotted Tusk joined me on one of my recent photo shoots while she was in town to discuss our upcoming jewelry collaboration together. Haute Off The Rack and Dotted Tusk have teamed up together to bring you an exlusive piece of jewelry. I’m not going to spill all of the details yet though. I’m going to save that for Friday’s post, but make sure to follow me on Instagram @HauteOffTheRack for some sneak peeks! What I do want to tell you today is that one of the best parts about running a blog is all of the wonderful friends I have made through collaborating with different companies, designers and fellow bloggers in the fashion industry. Caroline is one of those designers that I’ve built a strong relationship with and even consider a friend. It’s so amazing watching her business grow and taking part in her success. I love sharing her beautiful jewelry with my readers and helping her expand her business in anyway that I can. Caroline has also been so supportive of Haute Off The Rack and is always there encouraging me each step of the way. I knew she’d be the perfect jewelry designer to help me bring this upcoming collaboration to life. Don’t forget to check back at the end of the week to see what Caroline and I have been up to!
If you haven’t already done so, make sure to Like Dotted Tusk on Facebook!
P.S. If that news wasn’t enough to get you to Friday, this will! I made this mouth-watering stack of s’mores last night with my boyfriend. I know it was a super random craving, but it was absolutely delicious. So here is a little hump day treat for ya! Sometimes all you need is a little chocolate to cheer you up or get you through the week.

Neon & Tribal Prints

Outfit: Entire outfit & jewelry c/o Frock Candy
Good Morning readers, I hope you all had a great weekend. I had an amazing weekend in New Orleans for one of my best friend’s weddings, which is why I didn’t post anything yesterday. I was exhausted! Anyway, I wanted to share these Frock Candy photos with you from my most recent collaboration with them for their Spring 2013 ad campaign. I loved shooting this bright and tribal printed look with their team. I plan to wear these printed shorts all summer long! The photographer for Frock Candy was so phenomenal that I have asked her to work with me on Haute Off The Rack. I’m sure you’ve seen some of her work by now on my blog from the posts on Candy Apple:: a Blog Shop featuring the neon maxi and the black and white outfit. She’s so talented and I love her positive energy. I can’t wait to see more of her work on Haute Off The Rack.
P.S. Below are a few snapshots from the wedding, but don’t worry once we get the professional photos back I plan to do an entire post on the wedding because it was absolutely beautiful!
