Good Morning readers, since this is my second maxi dress post with one more to follow, I am officially naming this week: Maxi Week! Recently, a petite friend of mine said that she would like to start wearing more maxi dresses, but that she feels extra short and frumpy when wearing one. Since I am also petite in height, she asked me if I could show her the best ways for petite women to pull off maxi dresses.  Luckily for her, maxi dresses along with flare jeans and high-wasited skirts, are one of the best items of clothing to make yourself appear taller and leaner. Choosing a maxi dress with an empire waist or high slits will make your legs seem longer.  You can also wear your tallest pair of heels beneath a maxi without slits to make yourself look taller. It’s like an illusion and no will know because your shoes are hidden. See for yourself in yesterday’s posts here–>A Whole Mu World

  If you’re only 5′ ft and super petite like myself, it’s best to avoid any type of maxi with a drop waist because that will only make your legs look even shorter. I think maxi dresses with slits through the legs are the most flattering type of maxi because it allows movement and shows off your shoes. This maxi dress that I wore for my last WBRZ News segment is the perfect example of a flattering maxi dress for petite women because it has a nice empire waist, high slits for movement and the change in the print creates a breaking point from the waist to the rest of the dress giving it a more slimming affect on the body.

For all of my friends in New York, VSA will be hosting their second trunk show at Bergdorf Goodman! Virgins Saints & Angels is one of my longtime favorite lines of jewelry to wear as everyday jewelry. Don’t get me wrong, they have a ton of statement pieces, but I have always loved their long pendant necklaces to layer on with my other everyday necklaces. My favorite is the San Benito Charm Necklace, which is picture above.

June 26&27 on the beauty level – showing hair accessories
June 28&29 on the 5th floor – showing jewelry
This will be the first showing of their fourth collaboration with Disney- the Hook Collection, based on the character from Once Upon a Time.
VSA will also be showing their hair accessories collection, as featured in Brides, Glamour and Elle
You can look forward to meeting Cheryl Finnegan, the owner/designer as well as the rest of the amazing VSA team based in New York.

Good Morning readers, I’m sorry that I’ve been posting kind of later in the morning these past few weeks, but I’ve still been trying to get organized and prioritize because….I’ve got some exciting news!  I’m finally going full time with Haute Off The Rack in July!  I’m so happy that I’ve finally gotten to the point where I can make my blog my number one priority and hopefully career!  I mean we’ll see how everything actually works out, but I’m excited to test it out and at least I know I have all of your support. You all are one of the biggest reasons that I’ve gotten to this point so I thank you for that!  Your continued readership and support has been truly amazing!

Anyway, about this swimwear… I don’t know about you, but I’ve totally been crushing hard on Maaji swimwear this season. The prints and reversible styles are just out of this world! This aqua and purple butterfly print swimsuit by Maaji is from Massey’s in Town Center (Baton Rouge) where they have a huge Maaji swimwear selection. I must warn you though that this brand runs a tad small so be prepared to try on a size larger than you normally wear.  That is what is nice about shopping local. You can actually try things on! Now don’t get me wrong, I am huge online shopper, but when it comes to bathing-suits sometimes it’s just easier to go in and try on a few different sizes instead of sitting at the computer debating on if you think you could lose a few pounds in the case that the XS ends up being a little too, well extra small!  I’m sure you have all experienced that once or twice. Right?

As for coverups, the first coverup that I’m wearing in this post is a super comfy sleeveless laser cut dress from Massey’s. I love it because it’s super light weight and you can still see your bathing suit peeking through the cutouts. The second coverup that I’m wearing is actually a cardigan from Candy Apple. I love when pieces from your wardrobe  double as swimwear coverups too!

Good Morning readers, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and Father’s Day!  Krystal from A Pinch of Lovely and I couldn’t be more excited to share our new beach series with you today! Over the next month, we’ll be sharing all of our top beach party accessories and essentials on Haute Off The Rack and A Pinch of Lovely. To help us prepare for our beach series, we got on the snowball and donut diet. No no no, not a real snowball and donut diet. What we mean is sometimes we can all feel a little insecure on the beach in bathing suit in front of everyone. To prevent that from happening, you need to come prepared to have fun and you won’t even think twice about your bodily insecurities! Krystal and I are both wearing these super fun snoball and pineapple tees as coverups and we brought along fun props and beach toys like this giant inflatable donut. I can assure you that if you bring a giant donut to the beach, your bodily imperfections is the last thing that anybody will be paying attention too!  Just remember to focus on having fun! Girls with big smiles who know how to have a good time surely look like the most confident type of girls and confidence is beauty!

Now head over to  A Pinch of Lovely to check out the details of her look!

Good Morning readers, here’s to another weekend wishing that I was going to the beach!  I can’t complain too much though because at least it’s Friday, right? As for this swimwear look, what do you all think of the Maaji beach turban. I love it because I feel like it completes my look.  It ties in all of the jewelry and accessories with my swimsuit. Speaking of tying everything in, how awesome are these mesh pants as a beach coverup?  They’re super comfy and you can still see your cute and colorful bottoms through them. What are your thoughts? Would you rock a color head turban and mesh palazzo pants on the beach?
