The Color Crash Course Debut

press 225

Good Morning readers, I know I’m a little late in telling you this, but like I said in my last post I’ve been in California with my family since my grandmother passed away.  Thank you again for all of your prayers and support. She will truly be missed.

 On a lighter note, I can officially announce that Krystal of A Pinch of Lovely and I will be guest blogging for 225 and InRegister magazine to help promote their Avenue Rouge Runway Fashion Show that we’ll be co-hosting live on Sept. 26!

For the blog portion of Avenue Rouge, we’re holding an online Color Crash Course to help you rev up your style skills.  Each week on Avenue Rouge, you’ll learn new ways to incorporate color into your wardrobe and how to choose the best colors for your skin complexion and personal style.  The Color Crash Course will touch on shoes, handbags, apparel, accessories,  jewelry and even beauty products.

Wait there’s more!  Every Thursday we’ll post a new contest question to give one lucky fashionista a chance to win 2 Elite tickets ($200 value) to the Avenue Rouge Show on Thursday, September 26th!  Just make sure to hashtag #ARrunway and #DiscoverYourColor on Instagram and your photo will automatically be pulled into the Avenue Rouge photo gallery entries. We hope you participate and good luck!

***You can also follow @HauteOffTheRack & @KrystalBennett for more chances to win tickets!***

In fact, today you have a chance to win a General Elite Ticket ($100 value) just by liking the Color Crash Course photo on my Instagram! Head over @HauteOffTheRack‘s Instagram now!

Good Morning readers, who’s ready for Cinco de Mayo this Sunday?  I know I am, especially because I get to wear this adorable Mexican Island shift dress courtesy of ASOS!  This dress is so fun and festive that it didn’t take much styling to put together.  All I really needed was a sombrero and some maracas!  Ok, well I guess I needed the jewelry, shoes and handbag too, but really though…how cute is this dress!  It practically screams “Happy Cinco de Mayo!”

I had such a blast shooting Cinco de Mayo looks with Krystal Bennett of A Pinch of Lovely and Kaela yesterday.  Playing with the sombrero and maracas gave us a pretty good laugh.  Now, head over to a A Pinch Of Lovely to see more photos of Krystal Bennett’s outfit and accessories!

P.S. I must tell you that the bracelets I’m wearing in today’s post are currently my new favorite pieces by Dotted Tusk.  I’m literally obsessed with these tribal-inspired beads! You can purchase these beaded bracelets at the upcoming Pop Up shop with Candy Apple and Haute Off The Rack on Thursday, May 9th!  Click the ad below for more details!

Have a great weekend and Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Good Morning readers, I hope you’re all having a great week.  I’ve been having a blast at NOLA Fashion Week, and can’t wait to go back tonight to see Tallulah Designs, Amanda Deleon, Fair Fit and Andrea Loest.  The photos above are from Tuesday night of Jolie & Elizabeth, Izavel and Blackout’s fall 2013 collections.  I’ll write a whole review at the end of the week, but right now I’m swamped with work so until then please enjoy the photos! Also follow me on Twitter & Instagram at @HauteOffTheRack for live coverage and exclusive photos of tonight’s shows!
