Good Morning readers, the surprise is that since I sold out of all 25 Haute For NOLA tees in the first 4 days, we decided to restock them and they have finally arrived. So if you weren’t able to get one from the first shipment, here is your chance!! I have already pre-sold half of this shipment so make sure to contact me at Jenn.hauteofftherack@gmail.com to purchase yours today.

In case you missed it last time, here is a little recap about the design of the tee:

This past August I collaborated with Katie Dumestre and Rachel Adams of The Elizabeth Chronicles to create a stylish tee for my readers inspired by New Orleans, high fashion and of course Haute Off The Rack.  For those of you who aren’t familiar with TEC’s tee designs, Katie and Rachel create casual, designer-influenced tees with a hint of local flair such as the Crescent City/Chanel tee that I styled in my recent post, Crescent City Style.

For Haute Off The Rack’s tee design, we went for an Hermes-inspired image to emphasize the “H” in “Haute” once I decided on the phrase “Haute For NOLA.”  It didn’t take me long to choose the black and gold color scheme considering that the shirts would be ready just in time for football season. I figured they would be great to wear for Saints’ games to show our love for NOLA.  I hope you like our tee!  Contact me at  Jenn.hauteofftherack@gmail.com to purchase your tee today! Also, they will soon be available to purchase at Candy Apple Boutique in Metarie.

P.S. When washing your tee, do not throw it in the dryer! Lay flat to dry. The heat is too harsh on the gold foil.

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!photo 2

Good Morning readers, I’m so excited to finally show you Haute Off The Rack’s latest tee design with The Elizabeth Chronicles!
