I hope you all had a fabulous New Year’s Eve and day.  I’m so excited to embark on this brand new year, but before we move forward with 2014 I wanted to take a look back at all of Haute Off The Rack’s top moments of 2013.

Something Leopard, Something Blue

Outfit: Peplum dress c/o Amanda Uprichard | Ankle Strap Heels | Leopard Print Clutch (available at The Mix)

Jewelry:  Beaded bracelets & Clear Quartz Necklaces c/o Reagan Charleston Design (RCD jewelry is sold at Rise Boutique in NOLA, The Mix in Mandeville and Femme Fatale in Baton Rouge & St. Francisville ) | Multi Colored Bracelet c/o Dotted Tusk

Good Morning readers, how fabulous is the color of this Amanda Uprichard dress?  I swoon over its beautiful and vibrant hue.  I know the peplum trend has been a bit overdone lately, but this color totally drew me in and put me back under the peplum spell.  Amanda Uprichard always produces her collections in bright and colorful hues, which is one of the main things I really love about her line.  Bright-colored tops and dresses are a weakness of mine.

To accessorize the look, I added the calf-hair clutch to give the look a transitional vibe and styled it with a pair a nude heels to elongate my legs.  I kept the rest of my accessories neutral so that nothing would compete with the color of the dress or the leopard print clutch.

P.S. I’ve got some exciting news for you!  I have a big photo shoot with Krystal Bennett of A Pinch of Lovely today for 225 and InRegister’s Avenue Rouge Runway Show this September 26th! Krystal and I will be giving you special coverage all month long followed by live video coverage the night of the show.  You can buy tickets here–>  Avenue Rouge Runway
