 Good Morning readers, I hope you all had a wonderful Easter! Here is an update from me because I know it’s been a few days.  I apologize that I’ve been so MIA lately, but I’ve been moving into my new condo for the past week and you know how moving goes! Although, these adorable Louisiana stemless wine glasses from White Elephant Designs did get me pretty excited to start decorating!  They’re like the perfect the house warming gift and you can get them with any state! Seriously…how cute!  I can’t wait to show you photos of everything we’ve done so far. However, that will have to wait until next week because today I’m packing for the rewardStyle conference in Dallas! Thank goodness for these awesome Kendra Scott jewelry travel cases! I don’t know about you, but I tend to pack nearly half my wardrobe when I travel so these jewelry cases make organizing everything a lot easier!

Sara’s Backyard Bridge Party | Target Style

Good Morning readers, I hope you all had a great weekend.  Remember way back in December when I told you that I was filming a national Target commercial in New Orleans to promote their spring Threshold collection?  Well here it is! Finally!!! See the video below or check it out (here).  I loved getting to meet all of these incredibly talented people and it was truly an amazing experience that I’ll never forget.  It was especially nice getting to meet and hang out with style editor and writer, Sara Ruffin Costello.  Make sure to check out her videos below to hear her secret weapons for entertaining guests with Target’s new Threshold Coastal Collection.  Hope you enjoy!

Below is the pillow I hugged in the commercial!!!

Haute For Spring + Behind The Scenes

cropped-top

Good afternoon readers, I hope you all had a lovely weekend. I’m so excited to finally share this video by Heritage 1221 Cinema with you.  My photographer, Kaela and I have been wanting to show you behind the scenes footage from our photo shoots together plus give you a little taste of New Orleans, Louisiana so I’m sure you can imagine how excited we were when we partnered up with Heritage 1221 Cinema to create a video here in Nola. The film captures some of my favorite spots in the French Quarter like Cafe Du Monde as well as some of Nola’s most historic landmarks, which make this city so unique. I hope you enjoy Haute For Spring and check back tomorrow for some behind the scenes action with Haute Off The Rack and Kaela Rodehorst Photogrpahy! View the video below or click here–> Haute For Spring

Good Morning readers, I apologize for my lack of blog posts lately, but I’ve added a quite a few new responsibilities to my plate so I’m still trying to get organized. Don’t you worry though because I have a ton of exciting giveaways and features planned for Haute Off The Rack coming soon including a cool video that I filmed in New Orleans yesterday with Heritage 1221 Cinema to show you some New Orleans fun and behind the scenes footage of my photo shoots with Kaela Rodehorst Photography.

Today’s look is the perfect kind of transitional outfit for our crazy Louisiana weather. It’s chilly enough for a light sweater and jeans, but warm enough to wear caged heels and to go without a jacket. I recommend wearing light wash denim and pastel or bright-colored sweaters to give your outfit more of a spring-time feel. You can also start using all of your spring accessories like this white baby croc handbag from Kelly Wynne’s spring collection. Speaking of white accessories, it’s all the rage this season!

As for the the gorgeous Dotted Tusk Crystal Knot necklace that I’m wearing today’s post, make sure to keep your eye out for a giveaway with this one-of-a-kind gem on @HauteOfTheRack’s Instagram this week!

P.S. If you love the Mingle Mingle Mini handbag in today’s post, make sure to stop by the Kelly Wynne Trunk Show at The Mix Boutique in Mandeville next Friday, March 28. More details on the ad below!
