Everything You Need For Effortless Boho Waves

Hi everyone, in case you missed it, I finally filmed my most requested video, which is how I curl my hair and create effortless boho waves! Let me start by saying that I’m no professional hairstylist! These are just my own personal tips and tricks to creating an effortless wave! You can check out the full video below!

As I mentioned in the video, I believe that every good hair day starts with a good shampoo and conditioner! With that being said, I use a few different types throughout the week: a purple shampoo, which is vital if you have highlights or any color in your hair & a clarifying shampoo that gets rid of product buildup like all that dry shampoo, texturizing spray and hair spray. I also like to use volumizing shampoo and conditioner for extra volume and a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner at least once a week.

Be sure to watch the video for all of the other products I use and you can shop them in the style board below!

Row 1 | Kevin Murphy Doo Over Dry Powder | Kevin Murphy Leave-In Conditioner | Kevin Murphy Young Again | Kevin Murphy Blonde Angel Wash And Rinse

I always use Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray all over my hair before I start curling. I demonstrate exactly how I use in the video.

I love my t3 Micro Whirl Trio Interchangeable Wand. I always use the 1.5 inch barrel.

This is how my hair looks after letting it set for 20 minutes and then brushing out the curls using a wet brush and adding more texturing spray and hair spray.

If I’m going to be out all day, I make sure to use a strong hold hair spray like this Kerastase Laque Noire Strong Hold Hair Spray or Salon Grafix Freezing Hair Spray Mega Hold.

Why You Need Ripped Mom Jeans

July 26, 2019

Happy Friday friends! Today I’m sharing one of my favorite local burger joints along with one of my weekend looks to show you why you need to hop on the ripped mom jeans band wagon. They’re basically the new “boyfriend jeans,” but better because they actually show off your figure. I found this exact pair at Abercrombie along with my off the shoulder bodysuit in today’s post. I love shopping for jeans at Abercrombie because I’m only 5 ft and they make short lengths for petite people, which is a amazing for us because then we don’t have to get them altered. I usually get all of my jeans hemmed, which means I have to lose the cute detail at the bottom so the short length option is a godsend for me. These exact ripped mom jeans also come in regular and long lengths for all you tall people out there too. Abercrombie also offers plus sizes as well.

I liked these jeans so much that I bought them in two different washes. Shop more of my current favorite Abercrombie styles below.

I love how Abercrombie also carries a variety of women’s bodysuits because they’re perfect for pairing with high-waisted bottoms. They give you nice smooth and sleek look without making your bottoms look all bunched up.

Anytime I share my hometown, I usually bring you around New Orleans because that’s what everyone is familiar with, but this time I thought I would show you another cute area in my neck of the woods, Lee’s Diner. It’s the cutest little burger joint with the most delicious milkshakes and daily specials. You should also checkout Courtyard Cafe for the most amazing nutella crepes and lattes.

Summer Home Decor Update

July 25, 2019

Hey everyone, if you follow me on Instagram (@hauteofftherack), then you know that I made a few updates to our living room this past spring with Caitlin Wilson Design and most recently we added some new furniture to our front porch. I based the whole living room color scheme off of a painting of Italy that I had commissioned by Christina Fontenot Art.

Just to give a little background on the artist, I met her through a mutual friend and fell in love with her gold textured pieces of art so when we finally bought our first home two years ago, I asked Christina to paint 3 gold oysters for our dining room. We loved them so much and got so many compliments on them that we asked her to create one for the living room too! I wanted the new painting to reflect something significant in our lives so we asked her to paint a map of Italy where we got engaged. I also requested that we incorporate lots of color to make a statement in our neutral living room! Well Christina far exceeded my expectations and the pillows I picked out from Caitlin Wilson Design paired beautiful with our new piece of art.

Scroll through this post to see how I livened up my living room for spring and summer with a new custom painting and some beautiful printed pillows from Caitlin Wilson Design.
