Good Morning readers, what did you think of yesterday’s sleek leather look with District Dress Up? Did you like the fitted dresses with leather detail or is this look more your style?  Today’s black and white look is much more casual with a graphic tee by The Elizabeth Chronicles and a bold pop of color. Speaking of TEC, I can’t wait to show our latest style creation together.  Keep an eye out for a sneak peek on Instagram today! Anyway back to this outfit, I love the way the blue suede pumps complement the leopard print calf hair clutch and the detail on the leather jacket. Mixed prints and textures make for an ultra stylish look.  As for the jeans, these Hudson Krista Super Skinny jeans just might be one of my new favorite pairs of jeans.  Not only do they fit like a glove and have cool zipper details, but they also hit right at the ankle so I don’t have to get them hemmed which is rare for me considering that I’m 5 ft tall!  I just might have to get them in every wash and color!  Are they comfortable you ask? Comfortable is an understatement when it comes to these jeans!  These are the kind of jeans that you’re going to want to put on every morning even when it gets cold outside and you don’t feel like putting on clothes or you just want to wear yoga pants.

Paris Parker Salon Review

 This past Monday, Paris Parker salon invited me to their Perkins Rowe location for a complimentary hair and makeup style service, and I was more than willing to accept the invite.  The women at the front desk immediately greeted me upon entering the salon and offered me cold beverage and warm neck pillow while I waited for the stylist to call me in.  About 5 minutes in, my stylist walked over and introduced herself as Alison Smith.  I then followed her to the styling area where we chatted for a while about the look I wanted to achieve.  I explained to her that I always and I do mean always wear my hair down so I wanted to try something different, yet easy and effortless looking that I could maybe replicate myself.  So we decided on a messy fishtail braid, which is a quick and easy fix.  I say quick and easy because it took hair expert Alison all of  6 minutes to do after washing and blowdrying my hair. Speaking of washing and blowdrying, she gave me the best head massage that I’ve experienced in while! To achieve the look, she back combed the crown of my head and brushed my hair over into a dramatic side part.  Then she braided my hair into tight fishtail on the same side as my hair part. After she secured the braid with a pony tail, Alison ran her fingers through the fishtail to loosen up the braid for that messy effortless look. I was more than pleased with Alison’s work and I especially loved how she touched up my makeup with some amber shadow, a nude blush and bright pink lipstick.

Good Morning readers, I hope you all had a great weekend. I had an amazing birthday with all of my friends and new Phillip Lim/Target bags.  Thank you to everyone who helped who wished me happy birthday and helped make it special.  I just had one minor set back on Sunday morning when my friend and I learned that our Target location didn’t receive the Phillip Lim handbag shipment.  We were rather devastated considering we have been up since 6 am waiting outside of Target!  Luckily, my boyfriend and I decided to stop by later that night right after Target had stocked the floor with the new Phillip Lim shipment.  So I decided to stock up myself and for all of my friends.  I was able to get everyone the bag they wanted along with all of my favorites too. I’m you sure you could imagine my excitement.

Anyway, about this look: Abbey and I wore black and white outfits with leather details to get that ultimate sleek and stylish look.  As you know, leather is all the rage again for fall, but especially leather details like the sleeves of Abbey’s dress and her little black backpack.  I am so loving a leather backpack this season to help give all of those classic and feminine looks some edge.  For my look, I added the striped trench to help tone down tight fit of the dress and I wore pink lipstick to sweeten up the leather.

Head over to District Dress Up for more on Abbey’s look!

Good Morning readers, how do you like these Party Pants by Show Me Your Mumu!  I got them for 75% OFF at a summer blow out sale at The Mix, but I love them so much I just might have to get another pair in one of their new fall prints! Check out the fall collection here–> Shop Show Me Your Mumu Bottoms!  I like the Jailbird Stripe print best.  What about you?

I think these lightweight sheer pants are perfect for Louisiana weather since we still have plenty warm days ahead.  As for the color, I’d say that we’ll probably have to retire this bright and colorful print by the end of September, but fortunately these pants come in a variety of other great prints for fall. I plan to wear mine with flowy boho tops and lots of layered necklaces or scarves.

P.S. To celebrate my younger sister’s first year of college, Kendra Scott and I have teamed up to give her and sorority sister 15% OFF of their entire KS purchase! So if you’re an LSU Kappa, make sure to stock up on all of your favorite Kendra Scott jewels for fall! See ad below for details!

Haute Off The Rack Gets a Makeover by Ashley Sievert

ashley-sievert-makeup

Good Morning readers, please welcome the lovely and talented Ashley Sievert of Ashley Sievert Beauty to the “haute” seat today as she dishes about her new makeup line and beauty tips for women of all ages. I recently had the pleasure of getting a makeover by Ashley Sievert and today you’ll get to see all of details from that beauty session. When Ashley reached out to me I actually hadn’t let anyone give me a face makeover in quite sometime because I’ve always felt that I know my face best.  Therefore, I do my own makeup best. However, I had heard so many wonderful reviews on Ashley, I thought ‘why not! Let’s see if she can impress me!’ Before I tell you what I thought about my makeover, I’ll let you see for yourself and let Ashley tell you first-hand how she applied my makeup.

  • How long have you been in the cosmetic industry and what inspired you to start your own makeup line?

“With over 8 years of experience in the beauty industry you learn about so many products. I was always searching for a foundation with amazing coverage, light weight and did not cause me to break out. I was never able to come across exactly what I was looking for which is why I now have Ashley Sievert Beauty.”

  • What makes your foundation, concealer and powder different from most other brands?

“Most mineral foundation is light coverage and is packaged as a loose powder which can be a mess and a bit difficult for touch ups on the go. The Ashley Sievert Beauty Mineral Velvet Crème spf 15 is full coverage, light weight and waterproof. The AS Beauty velvet creme consist of 6 shades which match 99% of skin tones from very fair to ethnic skin. It has a 10 hour + staying power which allows the pressed Mineral Finishing Powder the perfect component for touch ups. In the past, concealers I tried are either drying and heavy or overly creamy and did not last. The AS Beauty “Glow” concealer is a perfect mix between a long lasting full coverage concealer and dewy eye brightener.” ashley-sievart-makeup

  • During my makeup session with you, I learned that you’re supposed to apply concealer last to help brighten up your eyes and rid of the dark circles.  I never knew to do that, and I’m sure that many of your other clients make similar mistakes as well.  What is the number one mistake you’ve noticed that women make when applying their makeup? 

“The most common mistake I see when women apply their makeup is going too light-handed! That is not for everyone of course.  It takes a decent amount to look natural and with the right products and application you should look like your self only better.”

  • Tell us your best piece of beauty advice?

“Give your brows some attention. Brows are always thrown to the side and make the biggest difference when shaped and filled in correctly! Stick with a professional.”

  • What is the secret key to achieving that flawless glow that all of your leave your makeup sessions with?

“Foundation and concealer period.”

  • From foundation to finish, give us a summary of how you did my makeup and how you went about choosing the right color palate to best complement my complexion?
 “For Jenn’s look, I started with Ashley Sievert “Glow” concealer as an eye shadow base. I grabbed my “go to” gold/copper palate which literally looks good on everyone and then I really made her eyes pop with my signature black liner and cluster lashes. I then filled in her brows a tad with a pencil, cleaned up around the eye area with a makeup wipe where shadow may have fallen and moved on to foundation. I tested the AS Beauty-Mineral Velvet Crème in “LA” on Jenn’s jaw line to make sure I had the correct match. I used a foundation brush to apply in a patting motion working my way from the T-zone/center outward. The AS Beauty Mineral Finishing Powder followed which I dusted with a large fluffy brush all over. Bronzer is applied with a medium fluffy brush where the sun naturally hits. This is called a 3/E formation and consist of bronzer on the temples of the forehead, cheekbones and jaw line. I then asked Jenn to make a fish face to pronounce her cheek bones for blush. I swept along the bone focusing on the highest part and blending to the apple of the cheek. My favorite part and the finishing touch which ties everything together was next- concealer. I took my ring finger and dipped into the As Beauty “Glow” concealer which I used as eye shadow base. I applied under the eyes in a upside down triangle dragging along the nose and blending above the cheek bone. It brightens the face, eyes and makes your cheeks pop all at the same time! I know Jenn always wears a pop of color on her lips so I decided to do just that. I filled first with a marker lip stain I use on all my clients. It does not pill, dry your lips out and lasts all day. I finished up with a very pretty but vibrant fuchsia and voila’ !”

  • What is the one beauty product you can’t leave the house without?

“It is hard to pick ONE product I can’t leave the house without but I will say this…. If I already and my foundation on, I couldn’t leave with out the concealer. If I was going on a weekend trip I couldn’t leave without the foundation.”

  • What lip colors and eye shadows can we expect to see this fall?

“Bold matte lips such as berry or blood red are very popular for lips in the fall and best paired with winged black eyeliner and minimal shadow.”

So now you see! Ashley did more than just impress me with her handy makeup tips.  She blew me away with her beauty knowledge, skills and not to mention her amazing products!  No one has ever impressed me as much as she did and I couldn’t believe that she used her own products on me that she created herself.  At the end of the session, Ashley gifted me with the Ashley Sievert Beauty foundation, powder and concealer in the color L.A. and they have quickly made their way to the top of my beauty list.

  • What can potential clients gain from attending your makeup tutorials?

“So much! During my sessions every client realizes they need to add in many of my tips and techniques to their makeup routine that will make them look more vibrant and fresh and will even make them look younger (if necessary).”

“Just a few examples: learning to fill in brows and what shape is best, my unconventional yet effective makeup application steps such as using concealer last, what the proper use for all different makeup brushes, how to apply the foundation and what color is best.  All of my clients love the makeup lessons and are obsessed with the foundation and makeup line. I am super excited to be extending the lesson to Baton Rouge. I will be hosting a beauty event on Thursday, September 19th all day from 11 am to 7 pm with Jenn from Haute off the Rack and Krystal Bennett from A Pinch of Lovely at Posh boutique on Highland Road.”
