Good Morning readers, I hope you all had a great weekend. I had an amazing birthday with all of my friends and new Phillip Lim/Target bags.  Thank you to everyone who helped who wished me happy birthday and helped make it special.  I just had one minor set back on Sunday morning when my friend and I learned that our Target location didn’t receive the Phillip Lim handbag shipment.  We were rather devastated considering we have been up since 6 am waiting outside of Target!  Luckily, my boyfriend and I decided to stop by later that night right after Target had stocked the floor with the new Phillip Lim shipment.  So I decided to stock up myself and for all of my friends.  I was able to get everyone the bag they wanted along with all of my favorites too. I’m you sure you could imagine my excitement.

Anyway, about this look: Abbey and I wore black and white outfits with leather details to get that ultimate sleek and stylish look.  As you know, leather is all the rage again for fall, but especially leather details like the sleeves of Abbey’s dress and her little black backpack.  I am so loving a leather backpack this season to help give all of those classic and feminine looks some edge.  For my look, I added the striped trench to help tone down tight fit of the dress and I wore pink lipstick to sweeten up the leather.

Head over to District Dress Up for more on Abbey’s look!

Good Morning readers, I apologize for my lack of blog posts lately, but I’m currently in California with my family because my grandmother passed away.  Thank you all for your your patience and support and for my keeping my family in your prayers.

About the look: I recently collaborated with Abbey of District Dress Up and Gigi New York to showcase some of the new handbags from their fall 2013 collection.  Since, Abbey is originally from Louisiana, we decided to give Gigi some southern hospitality and took our bags straight down to New Orleans for some good ole’ fashioned  iced-coffee and beignets near the French Quarter.

For this look, I am carrying the Hayden Satchel and Abbey is wearing the Elle cross-body bag. The Hayden Satchel can also dual as a cross-body bag by just attaching its detachable/adjustable strap. This bag is perfect for me because it’s spacious enough to fit my planner, my wallet, a little notebook, my phone and some makeup with plenty extra room to spare. There is also large pocket on the back and another roomy interior pocket beneath the flap for my convenince. I like to keep my phone and keys in the back pocket so I can easily find them without having to dig through my entire purse.  Also, I can’t forget to mention the real reason that I fell in love with this bag, which of course is its gorgeous shade of emerald green and it’s sleek embossed texture.  The Hayden is the perfect mix of chic, sophisticated and masculine which meshes perfectly with this season’s menswear-inspired trend.

If you liked our NOLA-insipred tees by the The Elizabeth Chronicles, get super excited because I have partnered up with tee designers, Katie Dumestre and Rachel Adams of TEC to bring you the first Elizabeth Chronicles and Haute Off The Rack designer tees. I couldn’t be more excited!  Make sure to follow me on Instagram @HauteOffTheRack for sneak peeks.

Now head over to District Dress Up for more details on the Elle cross-body bag and the rest of her look!

P.S. Stay tuned for my next look with Abbey of District Dress next week!

Good Morning readers, how about this stunning back necklace by Reagan Charleston Design! Is it gorgeous or what! I’m so excited to finally share this look with you because this is my first collaboration with local boutique, Haus131 and my first time wearing a back necklace. Katie Rae Bowen, the owner of Haus131 helped me pick this dress.  She did such a great job of helping me find the right dress to suit my personal style and she even did me the honor of naming it after me.  I absolutely love the color combination of this maxi and I especially love the design on the back of the dress which draws attention to the necklace.  What do you think? Would you rock a back necklace?

P.S. If you’re wondering why I’m barefoot, it’s because I didn’t wear the best shoes for climbing over fences and rocky railroad tracks and that’s what we had to go through to get to that spot.  Also,  I named this post the Lion King because that was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw these photos, not to mention that the pendant on the necklace is a lion’s head.
