Good Morning readers, today I’m sharing one my looks for New Orleans Jazz Fest this weekend! Who else is going to see Elton John? I actually wasn’t planning on going until I remembered how jealous I am of my boyfriend who is on his way to the Kentucky Derby! So I figured I would do something fun too! Plus, it means that I get to wear my favorite dress again. I’m not kidding you! I wear this thing all the time! It’s just such an easy dress to throw and run out the door when it’s hot outside.

I hope you all found my “what to wear to New Orleans Jazz Fest” tips helpful and come say hi if you see me dancing around Jazz Fest. It should be easy to spot me in this colorful printed outfit!

P.S. Keep your eyes out for tomorrow’s Jazz Fest outfit! Flash Tatts included!

Good Morning readers, I’m sorry that I’ve been posting kind of later in the morning these past few weeks, but I’ve still been trying to get organized and prioritize because….I’ve got some exciting news!  I’m finally going full time with Haute Off The Rack in July!  I’m so happy that I’ve finally gotten to the point where I can make my blog my number one priority and hopefully career!  I mean we’ll see how everything actually works out, but I’m excited to test it out and at least I know I have all of your support. You all are one of the biggest reasons that I’ve gotten to this point so I thank you for that!  Your continued readership and support has been truly amazing!

Anyway, about this swimwear… I don’t know about you, but I’ve totally been crushing hard on Maaji swimwear this season. The prints and reversible styles are just out of this world! This aqua and purple butterfly print swimsuit by Maaji is from Massey’s in Town Center (Baton Rouge) where they have a huge Maaji swimwear selection. I must warn you though that this brand runs a tad small so be prepared to try on a size larger than you normally wear.  That is what is nice about shopping local. You can actually try things on! Now don’t get me wrong, I am huge online shopper, but when it comes to bathing-suits sometimes it’s just easier to go in and try on a few different sizes instead of sitting at the computer debating on if you think you could lose a few pounds in the case that the XS ends up being a little too, well extra small!  I’m sure you have all experienced that once or twice. Right?

As for coverups, the first coverup that I’m wearing in this post is a super comfy sleeveless laser cut dress from Massey’s. I love it because it’s super light weight and you can still see your bathing suit peeking through the cutouts. The second coverup that I’m wearing is actually a cardigan from Candy Apple. I love when pieces from your wardrobe  double as swimwear coverups too!

Good Morning readers, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and yes I know I look like Pocahontas with the flowers in my hair hence the title “Just Around The Riverbend!”  This printed little number is currently my favorite flippy skirt hanging in my closet and I find almost every excuse to wear take it out! I try to change it up as much as possible when I wear it, but this is definitely my favorite way! It just looks so fun and easy paired with the breezy cropped top.  Although, I do also love it paired with my blue suede shoes! I added the flower halo this time to give it a little hippie vibe. You like?  Just a warning, you’re going to be seeing a lot of flower halos over the next few weeks. They’re one of my current obsessions along with Mary P Lamb jewels, Show Me Your Mumu Maxi dresses, cropped tops, Loren Hope bracelets and perforated booties so get ready to see a lot of that too!

P.S. This is my favorite street in downtown Covington! I grew up driving down this road every morning to get to school. I just love all of the beautiful oaks and the road’s sweet character and charm.  Plus my new home and some of my favorite restaurants and stores are just right around the corner!

 Happy Sunday everyone! These photos are from the Dee Keller Spring Preview Brunch during New York Fashion Week.  I had a wonderful time visiting with Dee and bloggers from all over!  This event was one of my most favorite memories  during fashion week because I got to meet so many new bloggers while enjoying mimosas, brunch and new spring styles. It doesn’t get much better than that!  Plus Dee Keller and I go way back to when I first started my blog! If it weren’t for her, I never would have met her daughter, Brighton who designed and custom coded my blog! That was two years ago now!  I’m so grateful for the both of them!
Scroll up to the first two photos to see my favorite shoe from the new spring collection. If you like what you see, get excited because you’ll soon be seeing a few of these shoes styled on Haute Off The Rack!
