Outfit: Embellished Maxi Dress (Eros) | The Alissa Wedge by Elaine Turner Designs c/o | Metallic Straw Clutch (H&M stores) | Warby Parker Sunglasses c/o |

Jewelry: Beaded Drop Earrings (Eros) | Gold Pave Bar Bracelets (Derng) c/o | Michael Kors Watch | Ring c/o  Max & Chloe 

Good Morning readers and welcome to Day 8 of Haute Off The Rack’s Island Getaway! How gorgeous is this embellished cotton maxi dress! I love every part of it from the embroidered green and orange detail to the light and flowy material.  I’m sure you already know that I’m going to tell you that a maxi dress is a summer getaway must-have. It really is though! Maxi dresses always look so effortlessly chic on the beach and are super easy to transition from day to night!  During the day you can wear it with a oversized floppy hat, some flip flops and a beach bag.  Then at night all you need to do is throw on some wedges, add a pair of earrings and carry a fancy clutch.

Packing tips: Unless your maxi dress is a jersey or polyester material, don’t forget to hang it in a garment bag with your other delicate pieces to prevent harsh wrinkles.

Jewelry: Kendra Scott Elle Earrings | Michael Kors Watch 

Good Morning readers and welcome to Day 7 of Haute Off The Rack’s Island Getaway.  If you saw my summer vacation fashion segment on WBRZ news then you probably recognize this outfit, but I never got a chance to tell you about it.  First of all, if you don’t have a BCBG bandage skirt, you need to get on that.  They come in a fabulous selection of colors and there are so many ways to style them. Plus they smooth everything out and leave with you with just the amount of curves.  Secondly,  I’m so glad that I decided to add this Alice and Trixie halter to my summer wardrobe because the neutral colors pair so easily with all of the bright clothing and accessories that I already have in my closet. Plus it also looks great with an all white look or just a classic pair of flared denim jeans.

Packing Tips:  Make sure to pack a neutral-colored top that you can throw on with any bottom in your suitcase and dress up or down with your jewelry and accessories in the case that you need an extra outfit during your vacation.

Good Morning readers and welcome to Day 6 of Haute Off The Rack’s Island Getaway.  Before we wrap up travel accessories and get back to resort wear outfits, I have a few more vital packing tips for you!  Just read the captions below the photos.IMG_1996_edit

Pack your best metallic wedges and nude or cognac sandals.  They are guaranteed to match with everything!

IMG_2005_edit

Bring a small assortment of clutches and wrap them in their dust bags or wedge them between your scarves or other soft materials in your suitcase to protect them.

Don’t forget to secure your jeweled sandals in their dust bag to prevent them from snagging any other pieces of clothing in your suitcase.

For embellished skirts and shorts like these two pairs from Zara and Loft, make sure to wrap them in tissue paper to protect the beading or embellishment from getting ruined.

Stuff your floppy hats and fedoras with your socks or bathing suits and place upside down at the top of your suitcase to help maintain its shape.
