Good Morning readers, I hope you’re all having a great week.  If not, I’ve got some exciting news for you.  Caroline Gladney of Dotted Tusk joined me on one of my recent photo shoots while she was in town to discuss our upcoming jewelry collaboration together.  Haute Off The Rack and Dotted Tusk have teamed up together to bring you an exlusive piece of jewelry.  I’m not going to spill all of the details yet though.  I’m going to save that for Friday’s post, but make sure to follow me on Instagram @HauteOffTheRack for some sneak peeks!  What I do want to tell you today is that one of the best parts about running a blog is all of the wonderful friends I have made through collaborating with different companies, designers and fellow bloggers in the fashion industry.  Caroline is one of those designers that I’ve built a strong relationship with and even consider a friend.  It’s so amazing watching her business grow and taking part in her success.  I love sharing her beautiful jewelry with my readers and helping her expand her business in anyway that I can.  Caroline has also been so supportive of Haute Off The Rack and is always there encouraging me each step of the way.  I knew she’d be the perfect jewelry designer to help me bring this upcoming collaboration to life.  Don’t forget to check back at the end of the week to see what Caroline and I have been up to!

If you haven’t already done so, make sure to Like Dotted Tusk on Facebook!

P.S. If that news wasn’t enough to get you to Friday, this will! I made this mouth-watering stack of s’mores last night with my boyfriend.  I know it was a super random craving, but it was absolutely delicious.  So here is a little hump day treat for ya! Sometimes all you need is a little chocolate to cheer you up or get you through the week.

Good Morning readers, I hope you all had a great weekend and St. Patrick’s Day. If you live in Louisiana, I know you were enjoying beautiful weather and sunshine all weekend long. Also known as perfect maxi weather!

On that note, how eye catching is this pleated neon yellow maxi from Candy Apple Blog Shop!  Can you believe that its only $44!  Immediately upon seeing it in their office, I knew I had to add it to my wardrobe.  If you’re feeling that same desire for this stunning neon maxi, make sure to stop by their pop-up shop this Wednesday, March 20 from 6-8 pm at the Delta Gamma House on LSU’s Campus or this Saturday, March 23 from 10-1 pm in New Orleans.  More details on the ad below!

To style the dress, I chose bronze metallic accessories and jewelry to contrast with the brightness of the dress and to tone down the neon. I also wore a fun aztec-inspired cuff from Candy Apple Blog Shop for a little added flair.  I think the wooden beaded necklace by Dotted Tusk accented the dress perfectly and lucky for you its currently on sale for only $14!

Outfit Comparison: Neon Maxi (Victoria’s Secret)<– $128, Metallic Braided Belt (Target)

For those of you who don’t do strapless dresses but love this bright neon yellow, this style dress from Victoria’s Secret is a great alternative.  I myself prefer the one from Candy Apple Blog Shop because its less than half of this price and it has slits at the bottom.  However, this dress is still beautiful and gives you another option.   The straps and no slits factor make the dress a little more conservative than the other and may be more age appropriate for some. What are your thoughts?

P.S. Here is a sneak peek of tomorrow’s post with Yael Palma of Madly Yours.  Check back tomorrow to see our collaboration!
