NOLAFW’s Shop Your City Day Recap
I broke in my brand new pointy toe Sam Edelman Mariel Booties while running all over NOLA this past weekend.
Julia Hengel of Gal Meets Glam picks out her favorite pieces by Hazel & Florange.

Krystal and I loved getting to meet Mackenzie Horan of Design Darling in New York and Liz Schneider of Sequins & Stripes in Chicago.
Anyone who stopped by Hattie Sparks on Shop Your City Day got to see a peek at Camilyn Beth’s newest collection before it hit the runway on Sunday.
Good Morning readers, I hope you’ve all been enjoying your week. Today, I wanted to share some photos with you from NOLAFW’s Shop Your City Day this past weekend. Here’s a little recap of the day:
Krystal of A Pinch Of Lovely and I had to wake up at the crack of dawn to get to New Orleans for 8:30 am for an early breakfast with Krewe Du Optic and the all of the guest bloggers in town. We got to try on all of the cool new shades from Krewe’s latest collection that hasn’t been released yet. I already have my eye on a few pairs that will be out this November. At the end of breakfast we each got to choose a pair of sunnies as gift from Krewe Du Optic to feature on our blogs. I chose the Toulouse Flat Black light mirrored sunglasses, which you’ll be seeing on Haute Off The Rack soon. Check out the photo at the bottom of the post to see all of the bloggers in their new Krewe shades.
After breakfast, Krystal and I headed to our complimentary hair blow out appointments at Paris Parker Salon on Canal courtesy of NOLAFW. I always love getting a deep head massage and hair wash at Paris Parker, and don’t even get me started on the delicious smell of their Aveda hair products. I just love that Air Control hair spray. Those of you who you use Air Control know exactly what I’m talking about!
Once we finished with hair and makeup, we headed over to Hazel & Florange on Chartres St. to visit with Andi Eaton and to check out Julia of Gal Meets Glam’s store picks. We enjoyed chatting over champagne and macaroons before making our way over to Haute Boutique on Magazine St. to visit with Mackenzie of Design Darling and Liz of Sequins & Stripes. We of course nibbled on a few more treats at Haute Boutique with and Liz and Mackenzie before stopping at the last two boutiques, which were Mimi Boutique with Molly & Sally Miller of A Piece of Toast and Hattie Sparks with Amy Havins of Dallas Wardrobe and Juley Thuy of Upperlyne.
Hattie Sparks was also hosting a Camilyn Beth trunk show. Krystal and I loved viewing her brand new collection before it hit the runway on Sunday. My favorite pieces were the Go Go dress and the Gabrielle dress!
More of NOLA Fashion Week soon to come on Haute Off The Rack so stay tuned!

NOLAFW Day 5
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.
Geovanni, I applaud you for this breath taking image.
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.

Good Morning readers, please allow me to introduce you to the co-founder of NOLA Fashion Week, the designer of Hazel & Florange and the voice behind Oui We Girl, Andi Eaton. It is my pleasure to share her photos, words and designs with you. Andi allowed me to preview her new collection last night before her show today so that I could share a little sneak peek with my readers. If you live in the New Orleans area, try to make it to her collection presentation tonight at the Saratoga on 212 Loyal Ave. in New Orleans at 7 pm.
Inspiring, Southern, and talent are the three words Andi Eaton, the creative director of the NOLA Fashion Council, used to describe New Orleans Fashion Week. She said the week has really grown to focus on more than just runway shows.
“Of course runway shows will always be the foundation of what we do, but in our fifth season I can say now that we have a more well-rounded week of events,” said Eaton.
According to Eaton, the NOLA Fashion Council has made its education workshop series and local retail support main priorities by hosting special events throughout the year, such as the Shop Your City day and the Business of Fashion workshop.
What fall trends and colors can we expect to see on the runway during NOLA Fashion Week this spring?
“ I’d expect we’ll see some emerald green because it’s having such a moment right now. I also think we’ll see lots of mixed textures and patterns as dressing in the south and in a tropical climate for the fall and winter is about layering textures and always including a pop of color with muted tones.”
Nola Fashion Week has proved to be a huge success the past few seasons. As the founder of NOLA Fashion week, what kind of struggles did you and the NOLA FC have to face to make it where you are now?
“Well, we are a small start up organization so there will always be a struggle with fundraising and just finding the time to get everything done. We are a team of around 8-10 core people doing the work of what should probably 100 people. We literally couldn’t do what we do with out the help of our volunteers like LSU’s Hemline Club and sponsors like Wisznia Architecture and Development.”
Andi, you always seem to have your hands full whether you’re styling an editorial shoot, working on your fashion blog, Oui We or preparing for a week long of runway shows. What keeps you together? What keeps you sane?
“Ha, I’m not sure how sane I am but I think surrounding yourself with good friends and colleagues that always are supportive no matter what is crucial for me. And Google calendar alerts.”
