Good Morning readers, thank God it’s Friday right? It’s been a long week for me, but yesterday was nice because I met with photographers, Kaela Rodehorst Williams and Tina Boyd for some experimental film photography in the wide open fields of the countryside.  You’ll get to see some of amazing those shots later!  However, we were able to squeeze in an outfit for Haute Off The Rack at the end of the shoot, which are the photos included in today’s post.  I didn’t have all of my accessories, but it worked out okay since we were shooting in the simple country anyway.

 I picked out this tan faux leather skirt for a style collaboration with Red Dress Boutique because I thought it would be a great transitional piece as we move closer into fall.  It’s a very lightweight faux leather so it works well in this hot and humid weather, but I can’t wait to wear it the fall with tights and boots!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Behind the Scenes of Mignon Faget

Good Morning readers, if you keep up with me on Instagram then you know that I had the pleasure of touring the Mignon Faget headquarters in New Orleans, Louisiana this past Tuesday.  I got to meet the entire staff, see new and upcoming pieces and even watch jewelry production.  I also learned that 95% of Mignon Faget jewelry is made here in the US and each peice is finished and put together right here in New Orleans at the headquarters on Magazine St. Needless to say, it was such a great experience and I can’t wait to style some Mignon jewelry on Haute Off The Rack.

I got to choose a few pieces of jewelry to feature on Haute Off The Rack at the Mignon Faget flagship store including the Oyster Cocktail Ring that I’m wearing in this photo.

It was so hard to only choose a few pieces because they were all so beautiful and exquisite.
