Nantucket Travel Review

Hey everyone, today I’m finally sharing my Nantucket travel review from recent stay at the White Elephant Hotel with Lilly Pulitzer and some fellow bloggers. We stayed at the gorgeous White Elephant hotel on Easton Street overlooking the bay and I must say it is one of the chicest hotels I’ve ever visited. Everything was so beautiful on the property that it almost didn’t even seem real. It was my first time visiting Nantucket, but believe me when I say that it will not be my last!

Scroll through this post for my top Nantucket recommendations and to see photos from our trip as well as our Lily Pulitzer outfit details.

Where to Dine:

Brant Point Grill – Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner harbor side dining | We ate here every morning for breakfast as well as couple of other meals. Great service, food and views! Be sure to order the lobster and and fish tacos!

Galley Beach – located near town, beautiful sunsets, chic spot for cocktails with fire pits and a beautiful lounge area | If you love the feeling of your toes in the sand while enjoying a cocktail or glass of wine while watching the sun go down before dinner, this is the post for you! Plus it was absolutely delicious from the appetizers and salad to the entrees and dessert!

Chic Dinner spots in town – Nautilus, Proprietors & Prime

Something Natural | This was among my favorite lunch spots in Nantucket because I live for tasty sandwiches on homemade bread served with chips and freshly baked cookies! That is like my ideal lunch. Plus you get to eat on picnic tables outside!

Cru – Chic oyster bar located at the Nantucket Boat Basin

Where to Snack:

The Juice Bar | I would go to the Juice Bar every day if I could for their homemade waffles cones and unique ice cream flavors.

Where to get your drink on:

Slip 14 – Great spot for cocktails, dockside beers and fish tacos at the Nantucket Boat Basin

Gazebo – Great spot to grab a mudslide in the heart of the action at the Nantucket Boat Basin

Fun Activities:

Take a boat ride! We went on a boat ride on our very first day because it was the best way to see the entire island. We had so much fun listing to music while enjoying snacks, drinks and….yep, you guessed it, LOBSTER ROLLS!

Grab a bike and go cruise around town! We loved riding around town and looking at all of the beautiful homes and even made a stop at Steps Beach, which was absolutely gorgeous. Oh and you know we stopped for lunch, which was my favorite part! We stopped at Something Natural for sanwhiches and cookies and outside on picnic tables. It was so perfect that it was like a day out of storybook.

How To Maximize Your Handbag Collection

July 31, 2018

Hey everyone, today I’m sharing a great way to maximize your handbag collection with this super cute crossbody that I recently picked up from kate spade new york. What if I told you that you could turn one single handbag into nearly 20+ different looking bags! Sounds magical, right? I’m referring to the kate spade Make It Mine Collection. Kate spade’s latest collection allows you to customize your handbag with fun interchangeable flaps and straps and you can even add on little tassels and charms to your bag too. I started with three different flaps: shearling, leopard-print haircalf and plain black to match my bag. I also love the idea of adding this flamingo flap to the tusk colored bag. If you love the idea of multiple bags in one, you’re in luck because today you’ll receive 3 different flaps when you purchase the Make It Mine Byrdie Bag for $298. It’s like getting 4 different bags only $298. What a steal! Just use code: MAKEITMINE by midnight tonight (July 31)!

Check out all of the different flaps you can choose from here—> https://www.katespade.com/flaps/

Scroll through this post to see how I styled my Byrdie Bag with the leopard-print haircalf flap for a cute transitional look into fall.

My Olay 28 Day Challenge Results

July 30, 2018

Hey everyone, I hope you all had wonderful weekend. I’m so excited too finally share my Olay 28 Day Challenge results with you that I started at the beginning of this month. If you’re an avid reader of Haute Off The Rack, then you know I travel often, which makes it super difficult to maintain a strict skincare routine and it definitely shows in my skin especially under my eyes. So when Olay launched their 28 Day Challenge, I immediately accepted in hopes that it would help reboot and refresh my skin. There were quite a few products to choose from, but I decided to use the Olay Regenerist Micro Sculpting Cream and Olay Eyes Ultimate Eye Cream. I chose the Olay Eyes Ultimate Eye Cream because I love how it also serves as a concealer for under the eyes too, which I really need while traveling.

I used the products morning and night and found it easy to pack the two prodcuts along with me during my travels as opposed to packing multiple products that some skincare regimens require. I started noticing a significant difference in my skin almost immediately after starting the challenge, but especially around day 14, which I shared with you on my Instagram stories. My skin complexion looked and felt more hydrated as well as my under eyes, which also began to look brighter. Upon reaching the end of the challenge, not only did my skin look hydrated and more radiant, but it also felt smoother and firmer too.

I’ve been using and loving Olay products since I was just a young teenager. Olay Complete All Day Moisturizer was the first moisturizer I ever used and I love how I can always come back to Olay products for real and dependable results.

Check out my before & after photos below!

You can purchase all of these products from Walmart.

Palm Print Maxi Dress

July 28, 2018

Hey everyone, I hope you’re all having a great start to your weekend. I’m sure you remember seeing this palm print maxi dress during my my last trip to Cabo, but today I’m finally share the full blog post on my look. The tropical-chic palm print is one of my favorite prints to rock during the summer especially when I’m surrounded by palm trees. I just can’t help myself! This palm print maxi dress is from the Show Me Your Mumu x Barbie collection so naturally I had to pair it with some white Barbie sunglasses! LOL

I wore this look to visit the Pueblo Bonito Rosé. Check out my full review on the Pueblo Bonito Cabo Resort here—> The Towers at Pacifica Cabo Recap Post
