Hi everyone, is your mouth watering yet at all of this Sucre goodness? I thought so! I’m sure most of you local New Orleanians are familiar with Sucre’s king cakes, macaroons and gourmet, handmade desserts.  What you might not be so familiar with is the King Cake’s Irish twin, the Paddy Cake!  The delicious rich chocolate, salted caramel cream, folded into layers of buttery brioche, and topped with a glistening Irish whiskey glaze is baked at Sucre seasonally in honor of St. Patrick’s Day. I must tell you that when I tasted it for the first time, it merely melted in my mouth and then had me running around the house singing “Paddy Cake, Paddy Cake” from the sugar high. Thank goodness that I didn’t keep all of those Paddy Cakes for myself because I probably would have eaten every last heavenly bite!  I highly recommend that you try one! We all know that I have a serious sweet tooth so you can trust me when it comes to dessert reviews. Oh and by the way, it’s best served warm! If you want to take it to whole a new level of amazingness, add a scoop of gelato! Let me know what you think after that!

Stay tuned for more delectable desserts from Sucre on Haute Off The Rack. These treats will have you trying to reach through computer screen!

Naked On The Run Palette c/o Urban Decay Cosmetics

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Today, I’m sharing my beauty on-the-go tricks with Urban Decay’s Naked On The Run palette.  If you’re always running around to different meetings and events like me, you will love Urban Decay’s Naked On The Run travel kit especially if you’re one to finish your makeup in the car (not while driving). It’s also great to use for a quick touch up in between work and dinner dates if you don’t have time to stop at home. The travel kit has everything you need for that ultimate Naked look: “six ALL-NEW shades of Eyeshadow (including an extra large dose of the perfect all-over shade, 5050). Bronzer. Blush. It even comes with a full-size Naked Ultra Nourishing Lipgloss and a travel-size 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil (both new shades), plus a travel-size Perversion Mascara.”

6 On-The-Go Beauty Tips:

1) Pack your Urban Decay Naked On The Run Travel Kit for quick and easy touch-ups of course! It’s got you covered when it comes to your eyes, cheeks, lips and highlights!

2) Always keep makeup remover or face cleansing wipes in your bag to help you get rid of the smudged mascara and eyeliner beneath your eyes before reapplying. That goes for lipstick too! Dry lips with worn off lipstick is not a good look! Gently remove your old lipstick with a wipe and rub on some lip balm (I like to use Aquaphor) before applying more lipstick and/or lipgloss.

3) Keep a mini deodorant on hand! Even if you don’t stink, it will still help you feel refreshed!

4) Mini Hairspray & a hairbrush (or) comb are an absolute MUST especially if you’ve got long hair like me! Clean up your strays and detangle the ends of your hair before finishing with a light hairspray. I like to use The Wet Brush because it glides effortlessly through my tangles and eliminates all the tearing and tugging. (mini version here–> The Wet Brush Squirt) For hairspray, I like to use Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray Medium Finish to spray all over my head because it’s lightweight product and it smells amazing! I also love the smell of Air Control by Aveda. **Side Note: Sometimes I like to wrap my hair into a loose bun while I drive to set loose curls. Once I arrive to my next location, I pull out the bun, tussle my roots and run my fingers through my hair to get those effortless beach like waves. I finish the look by spraying hairspray throughout my entire do!

5) Always pack your concealer or a lightweight foundation to help conceal anything that pops up on your face. I like to finish with a loose mineral powder to set the foundation.

6) Last but not least, drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated throughout the day to help maintain fresh and vibrant looking skin!

I really do always keep all of these items on hand when I’m out and about! You can even ask my friends. Speaking of my friends… in my last post about the On The Run travel kit, I mentioned that I think my boyfriend and friends secretly had the Naked On The Run Palette created just for me so that they don’t have to wait on me while I pack all of my stuff to finish getting ready in the car! Just Kidding, but it really is perfect for all of us “always running behind” people.

Hi everyone and Happy Sunday! I’m going to share the story behind these photos with you today. It’s really no spectacular story. I guess you might consider it more of an explanation.  I’m willing to bet that I’m not the only one who thinks this, but lately it’s been hard to find things in my closet to wear (other than casual jeans & a plaid shirt) to fit my mood because even though it’s technically still winter, my mind is already on pre-spring mode. I want to wear bright colors and lighter clothing, but it’s obviously still way too cold for that. So when Kaela (my photographer) showed up to my house recently for a blog photo shoot, she of course found me throwing things around in my office/closet and totally unprepared for the shoot!  I decided that due to my lack of outfit inspiration, I’d rather explore Downtown Covington until I felt more inspired. So we did! In case you didn’t catch on, Downtown Covington is where I live.

It was such a beautiful day and during our little venture we came across the lovely English Tea Room. The quaint old patio and bright red telephone booth looked so adorable that I couldn’t help myself and insisted that we pause the exploration to stop for hot tea and freshly baked scones. Our waiter was so sweet and knowledgable about all of the teas. He even remembered what I ordered from one of my previous visits! Hopefully he’ll remember next time too because I already forgot the name of my tea! Haha! Anyway after stopping to enjoy ourselves on that beautiful afternoon, we couldn’t leave the English Tea Room without a little photo opt in the telephone booth! I mean, can you blame me!  If you ever find yourself wandering around Downtown Covington, make sure to stop by for afternoon tea and delicious scones hot out the oven!
