Blue Floral Maxi Dress

Good morning readers, we’re almost to the three day weekend, but before we get there I’ve got one more blue beauty for you. Yes, another blue floral maxi dress. I know I’ve literally only featured blue looks on the blog for the past three days, but what can I say? I love me some summertime blues and this blue floral maxi dress is no exception! I came across this floral maxi dress while looking through ModCloth’s newest arrivals and my eyes were immediately drawn to it. However, I had no idea how much I would truly love it until I tried it on. The colors are so beautiful and vibrant and the empire waistline flatters any figure!

For sizing reference, I’m wearing the small and I’m usually a 2-4. I tried on the XS first because I’ve been working out a lot lately, but yea, I’m definitely not there yet! LOL I couldn’t even zip it halfway. So I recommend sticking to your normal size for this dress.

Top Three Summer Wedding Skincare Tips

Good morning readers, as promised today I’m sharing my top three summer wedding skincare tips. If you follow along with Haute Off The Rack regularly, then you know that I was recently the maid of honor in my best friend’s wedding. I knew we’d be taking thousands of photos throughout the weekend so I made sure to look my absolute best. I obviously didn’t want to overshadow the bride so I went with minimal jewelry, neutral makeup and a simple hairstyle. However, I wanted my skin to look flawless and radiant so I followed three essential steps. Scroll through this post to learn how I achieved a perfect, glowing skin complexion with Simple Skincare for my best friend’s big weekend.

1) Leading up to the wedding, I drank plenty of water and made sure to get a decent amount of sleep. I also didn’t skip any of my vitamins and ate lots of fish, fruit and vegetables throughout the entire week before the big day.

2) I apply SPF daily and exfoliate 2-3 times a week. These are two steps that I recommend adding into your daily and weekly routine, not just doing before special occasions.

3) I use Simple Skincare’s Micellar Cleansing Water to gently remove my makeup and instantly hydrate my skin. Simple Skincare has even made it easy for me to use on-the-go since they now offer all of the benefits of Micellar Cleansing Water in a convenient wipe form – with Micellar Make-Up Remover Wipes! I love how the wipes leave my skin feeling soft and refreshed whereas some makeup removers can cause your skin to feel dry or greasy after use. Both the Micellar Cleansing Water and the Micellar Wipes are hypoallergenic and don’t include dyes, artificial perfumes or harsh chemicals that can upset skin.  Dry or irritated skin is the last thing you want on the day of the wedding, whether you’re the bride, the maid of honor or even a guest. That’s why these wipes are a skincare must-have when it comes to achieving a glowing skin complexion not just for special occasions, but also for your everyday life.

Hey everyone, I hope you found my top three summer wedding skincare tips helpful.  As you learned from yesterday’s post, I wear waterproof makeup so the Simple Skincare Micellar Wipes are a must for me when it comes to removing my makeup. The fact that it instantly hydrates my skin and leaves it feeling refreshed is just an added bonus!

First Official Day of Spring 2016

Happy Spring everyone! It’s surprisingly chilly here in Louisiana considering that it’s the first official day of spring 2016. You definetly won’t see me wearing anything springy or sleeveless today. Thank goodness I had already taken these photos at Balboa Pier during my recent trip to California where the weather was absolutely perfect with just the right amount of breeze and warm sun. In fact, I’m already planning my next trip back.
