First stop, Paris Parker in New Orleans for blowouts- complimentary of NOLAFW!  Can’t wait to see what kind of hair styles and makeup they’ll do on the models for the runway shows this week.

Customers enjoyed 15% OFF Kim’s favorite picks in the store at Hattie Sparks on Adams St.

These gorgeous bracelets were among my favorite items at Hattie Sparks.

I so enjoyed getting to meet one of my favorite bloggers, Helena of Brooklyn Blonde.  She and her fiance’ were so sweet, and I was shocked to find out that he was behind all of the amazing photos on her blog.  Kim of Eat Sleep Wear also serves as her photographer as well and visa versa. Bloggers working together! I love it!

I die thinking about the shoe collection at Aneglique boutique.  If only this wall of shoes belonged to me…

Kim and I ended up choosing the same black and white jacket as our favorite item in Hattie Sparks.

This breathtaking dress is a part of fashion designer, David Peck’s Spring/Summer 2013 Collection.

Peck hosted a trunk show at Total Woman boutique on Magazine St. in New Orleans on Shop Your City Day.  It was such an honor to meet him and see his work. His spring/summer 2013 collection is full of neon colors, floral origami prints and geographical pieces imprinted with a historical Parisian map of 1850.

How amazing are those multi-colored wedges from Angelique boutique on Maple Street?

H is for Helena of Brooklyn Blonde and Hattie Sparks!

Good Morning readers, I hope you had a great weekend.  My weekend was amazing!  I had the honor of covering Shop Your City Day with Krystal Bennet of A Pinch of Lovely to kick off NOLA Fashion Week. Needless to say, we had a blast and got to hang out with two of my favorite fashion bloggers, Kim Pesch of Eat Sleep Wear and Helena Glazer of Brooklyn Blonde.  We started off the morning bright and early at Paris Parker salon in New Orleans for complimentary blowouts.  I was so impressed with their customer service and loved how my hair turned out! After hair and makeup, we headed to Hattie Sparks to enjoy shopping and mimosas with Andi Eaton, Lauren Lagarde and New York bloggers, Eat Sleep Wear and Brooklyn Blonde.  The NYC bloggers were so nice and even more beautiful in person.  I really enjoyed getting to know them on a more personal level considering that I read their blogs daily.  It was refreshing to learn that I had more things in common with these amazingly successful bloggers than I had expected like how all to love to just lounge around the house in oversized pajamas all day when we aren’t all dressed up.  Either go big or go home and get in your boyfriend’s XL tee-shirt, baggy pants and a so-called bun.

I was also thrilled to finally meet Hattie Moll, the owner of the fabulous boutique, Hattie Sparks.  She was just as cute and sweet as I had suspected. I can’t wait to visit the store again or to get my hands on that adorable black and white jacket pictured above with Kim.  After visiting with Hattie and everyone, we stopped by Angelique, Loft 3 H, and Total Woman.  To see how the rest of our day went, check us out on Instagram and Twitter at @HauteOffTheRack & @KrsytalBennet!
