Good Morning readers, the following photos are from my attempt to capture the Tallulah Designs Fall 2013 Collection Presentation.  Tallulah Designs’ and Amanda Deleon’s collections were among my top favorites during NOLA Fashion Week, which is what you’ll be seeing on Haute Off The Rack today.

Each of Tallulah’s pieces from the vibrant and colorful prints to the brocade-textured skirts and dresses can be worked into your daily wardrobe and even worn for special occasions.  The classic and lady-like style of her clothing make it easy for you to  transition the pieces from day to night with just a few tweaks to your accessories.

This textured winter-white cape was by far the most beautiful piece by Tallulah Designs. I can’t wait to get my hands on it in the Fall.

At this point, I realized that I better let the professional photographers take over.  So the following photos are by Black and Geauxld Photography and Brei Olivier.

We saw so many stunning shades of the color of the year on the runways this season, Pantone 17-5641 Emerald Green.

Amanda Deleon put the audience into a trance with her exquisitely detailed collection.  Each individual detail from the gold sequins and rich velvet fabric to the the detailed leather cut-outs and draped fringe could bring a tear to your eye from its astounding beauty.

“It’s as if Amanda went into my head, tapped into my black + gold dreams,
and then made them in tulle and leather,” said Sarah Barnett of Think Twice Style.

“The Amanda DeLeon show blew our minds as expected,” said Katie Dumestre and Rachel Adams of The Elizabeth Chronicles,  “If you didn’t look close enough you would miss something carefully molded into the leather.”

 I hope you’ve all had a wonderful weekend!  I actually caught a little cold so I apologize for my super late post today, but better late than never right?  I’m so glad that I’ve been able to share my NOLA Fashion Week experience with you via my blog and social media.  I’d love to hear your feed back on what you’d like to see more of for next season.

Just to fill you in, this week you’ll be seeing my March Fashion Feature, Kimberly of Penny Pincher Fashion, some St. Patrick’s day inspiration and what to expect from Candy Apple’s pop-up shop on Saturday March, 23.  I’m also super exciting to collaborate with Yael of Madly-Yours  this week to introduce you to her adorable clutch collection.
