The One-Piece Swimsuits You Need For Summer!

Happy Weekend! If you follow along with Haute Off The Rack regularly then I’m sure you’ve seen me rocking quite a few one-pieces already this season! However, there are two styles in particular that I absolutely love and 100% recommend for you! I’m referring to my Becca one-piece swimsuits from Nordstrom. Last summer I purchased this black lace one-piece and I loved it so much that I purchased a second one in white along with two more similar styles this season. This is the similar styled I ordered and fell in love with—> Siren One-Piece Swimsuit  I love how it covers my stomach while still showing plenty of skin and the cut is super flattering. For size reference, I’m wearing the size S and it fits perfectly.

I like to order lots of options to try on in the comfort of my own my home because swimsuit shopping can be tricky. Fortunately, Nordstrom carries all of my favorite Becca styles so I can easily order them all from one place and return the ones that don’t work for free. Additionally, Nordstrom carries all the other accessories you need for the beach like coverupsstraw totes and clutches, sun hats, beach towels, sunscreen and sunglasses.

This is the swimsuit that I bought in black last summer and loved it so much that I bought it white this spring! For size reference, I’m wearing the size small.

My Recent Stay At The Pointe

Hi everyone, today I’m sharing a travel review of my recent stay at The Pointe located on 30A. In case you aren’t familiar with 30A, it’s a beautiful highway of beaches that stretches from San Destin all the way to Panama City, FL. This highway is sacred because it is home to some of the most breathtaking beaches you will ever see in Florida! I’m talking crystal clear, blue water, soft white sand, dreamy boardwalks and private communities. All of the neighborhoods have their own little towns with boutiques, resorts, restaurants and activities for the whole family like bike riding, boating, sailing and jet skis just to name a few.

I’ve stayed in San Destin a number of times, but this was my first time ever staying in Inlet Beach, which is within walking distance to both Rosemary Beach and Alys Beach…oh and Donut Hole! Haha! In fact, we actually stayed right across the street from Donut Hole in the luxury condos at The Pointe Resort. Our resort was amazing because it’s brand new and the condos are gi-normous! We stayed in the a three-bedroom condo complete with a full kitchen, living room, dining room and two fabulous balconies that overlooked the pool. Oh and I can’t forget mention that luxurious bathrooms and walk-in closets. My bathtub was huge and I could even see the TV from it! Talk about relaxing!

As I mentioned, The Pointe is fairly new to Inlet beach so they are still slowly rolling some of their new amenities like their full-service restaurant that will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I think that guests will really enjoy the on site restaurant especially if they don’t plan on cooking because the local dining spots fill up fast. However, if you’re traveling with a large group, the kitchen has everything you need for preparing meals as well as a barbecue grill on the back deck of the pool. The resort also features a rooftop lounge and bar that overlooks the 30A skyline and soon enough they will be soon be a poolside drink service as well.

Last but not least, The Pointe will have a full coffee service bar available all hours of the day!

Striped Lace Up Dress

Hi everyone, as I mentioned in yesterday’s post I just returned from the beach so I will be sharing all of my vacation outfits on the blog this week starting with this striped lace up dress. This swing dress is one of my favorite styles by Show Me Your Mumu because it’s the perfect length for petite girls like myself plus I love the on-trend lace up detail.  I actually own this dress in two other prints because I love wearing it so much! It’s just easy to throw on while traveling and you can pair it with cute shoes like the platform sandals or studded sandals that I’m wearing in the photos below. I also love this heeled version of my studded sandals for an edgy-boho vibe. I found both pairs of these shoes at Sole Society as well as my crossbody bag and hat.

Dominican Republic Vacation Review

Hi everyone, I hope you all enjoyed the 4th of July holiday! Today, I’m finally sharing my Dominican Republic Vacation Review! As most of you know from previous posts, I recently stayed with my family at the Paradisus Palma Real Resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. If you follow me on Snapchat, then you got to see how absolutely beautiful the resort and beach views are during my little daily tours! Not only is the place breathtaking, but the customer service is impeccable and the food is surprisingly delicious. I say surprisingly because every time I hear all-inclusive, I immediately think mediocre, but these restaurants far exceeded my expectations! Even the buffet selection didn’t disappoint. My favorite restaurants that we dined at are: Fuego, Vento, the Hibachi restaurant and one of their VIP restaurants called Olio.

Scroll through this post to see the full Instagram round up from my trip and read more about the resort at the bottom of the post!

Your Questions Answers:

Were there any iguanas? I was actually pretty relieved that I didn’t see any! Not to say that there are no iguanas in Punta Cana, but I didn’t hear of any on the resort grounds.

Are the rooms nice? Y’all….were the rooms nice?! My room was maybe one of my favorite parts! I’m kind of big fan of room service and they offered 24 hour room service! I’m also a huge fan of relaxing baths and let me tell you that you could probable fit 8 people in that bathtub. That sounds weird when I read that aloud, but you get what I mean! The tub was huge and had a perfect new of the TV! Now that’s what I call vacation! lol I literally took 3 baths a day!

Any complaints about the service or the resort itself? Fortunately, we didn’t run into any issues except I will warn you that I got attacked by mosquitos! So bring bug spray! Also, when I say it’s hot in Punta Cana, I don’t think y’all realize quite how hot! I don’t think I ever cooled down, but most of the time you’re enjoying yourself so much that you forget about the heat!

Did you go on any excursions, do you have any recommendations? Ok.. so I’m not really the best person to ask because I’m a big scared cat and won’t scuba dive or even snorkel so I didn’t participate in any of those events with family. However, the resort did offer really fun activities like paddle board fitness classes and underwater spin classes! I did the underwater spin class and had a blast while also getting in a work out. Speaking of working out, they have a fantastic fitness facility in which I managed to hit up every day that I was there! I mean you’ve got to when the food is that good!
