Vanity Accessories: Everyday I’m Hustlin’ mug by Ashley Brooke Designs via Hattie Sparks | Phone Wallet Wristlet c/o Gigi New York | Personalized iPhone Case c/o Gigi New York | YSL lipstick | Jewelry c/o Kendra Scott | Chloe Perfume

Good Morning readers, this is the second part to my post from Monday, Be Happy & Do Good.  Like I said on Monday, these witty mugs have been making my mornings.  However, this particular mug actually reads true about my current everyday life. Lately, I have taken on some new jobs and responsibilities in the fashion world and while I’m super excited about them I have to remember to stay organized and on top of everything. Everyday I’m hustlin! Sometimes things can be a bit hectic, but in the end it’s super rewarding.  For example, yesterday after work at my first job I sat at my computer for hours responding to emails and typing up proposals for Haute Off The Rack. Then I had to make phones calls and set up meetings for my new job. Anyway, I’m not going bore you with everything I did yesterday, but the point is that by the end of the day I was so exhausted I didn’t feel like working on a new blog post. That was until I clicked on Kendra Scott’s website and saw that Krystal of A Pinch of Lovely and I had made it on their homepage. See (here) It was such a surreal moment because it was like I was seeing all of my hard work pay off right before my very eyes. It’s moments like that that keep me hustlin’ everyday!  The point of me telling you this is because if you’ve been feeling overworked and exhausted lately, just keep on going because the end results are worth it.

P.S. If you need a cute gift idea for a bride-to-be, I recommend getting her a white Gigi New York iPhone case personlized with MRS and second colorful case with her new initials to use after her wedding day! I got both of these to give as a gift to a friend who is getting married this weekend. Click the photos to shop!

Good Morning readers, who’s ready for the weekend? I know I am! Even though it’s been a short week due to Mardi Gras I couldn’t be happier that it’s Friday!

The Gigi New York Maggie Cross body: The Maggie cross body bag in pebble leather is the newest addition to the Gigi New York handbag family! I chose Ivory for spring because I knew that that color would complement all of my pastel colored pieces that I plan on wearing this season. See all of the other colors available in this bag here–>  Gigi New York

The Pastel Pink Zara Skirt: I just want to apologize now for all of the times that I am going to feature this skirt.  I can’t help it! I love it! It just goes with everything so I can’t argue…. I just wear it! I know you’ve already seen me wear it to the Dee Keller Spring Preview brunch (here) and outside of the Lincoln Center (here) as well as today, but there is still more to come!

The Crescent City Tee: The Chanel-inspired Crescent City tee by local designers, Katie and Rachel of The Elizabeth Chronicles still takes first place of clever designer-inspired tee ideas in my book. It was this tee that led to a year and a half long business relationship and most importantly friendship between Haute Off The Rack  and TEC! These two girls have been incredibly supportive throughout my journey as a blogger and I can’t thank them enough for all of their help and encouragement! I’m sure I don’t have to convince you to love this tee, the clever design speaks for itself, but you should check out the rest of their graphic tee designs here–> TEC Tee Shop

The Diamond Detailed Chalcedony Ring: This ring… I have no words and judging from your likes and comments on Instagram, I know that you feel the same way!  Mary P. Lamb Designs most definitely outdid herself with her first official ring design. I know that this beautiful ring will be one of my go-to pieces this spring as well as in years to come. The stunning neutral-colored stone makes it easy to pair with any outfit and the white diamond detail makes it super eye catching.

P.S. Here is a sneak peek of a fun feature coming next week to Haute Off The Rack. A lot of you seemed to love this photo on my Instagram. Well, get excited because you’re about to see heck of a lot more of these quirky mugs by Ashley Brooke Designs.

Jewelry by: Betsy Pittard Designs | Available locally at Candy Apple Boutique in Metairie & Mint Boutique in Baton Rouge, LA.

Good Morning readers, I’ve got two blog posts for you starting with “What’s Haute Now!”  I recently came across Betsy Pittard’s beautiful boho-inspired jewels at Candy Apple Boutique in Metairie, LA and instantly fell in love with them. During the spring and summer I’m all about layering on a ton of boho-beaded necklaces and bracelets her designs are right up my alley.  Betsy kindly sent me this gorgeous assortment of jewels right before I left for New York Fashion Week, but I wore so many layers of clothes throughout the whole trip that I never got to show off any of these fab pieces. However, it won’t be long before you start seeing BPD pieces popping up in every other outfit post on Haute Off The Rack.

Follow Betsy Pittard Designs on Facebook & Instagram @BetsyPittardDesigns!

Remember when I wore a BPD necklace here–> Blue On Blue & Green On Green

Good Morning readers, I’m so glad that I finally get to share some of my New York Fashion Week looks with you.  I wore this pastel pleated midi skirt and cropped top to the Dee Keller Spring Preview Brunch.  Don’t worry, we were inside the whole time. Well, except for this part right here!

Some of you might be wondering what the heck I was doing in a cropped top in the dead of winter in New York, and trust me while I was shooting this look I was wondering the same thing!  I was freezing my butt off during this shoot in 10 degree weather with snow flurries in my face, but I wanted to shoot this look because I knew it wouldn’t be long before my readers in Louisiana could start wearing wear this type of clothing. Spring comes a lot sooner down south! So I wanted to be prepared. Now with my luck it’s raining and 54 degrees today, but I swear it was hot the other day and we’ll be in shorts and flip flops before you know it! However, all you Louisiana girls better appreciate this post because I did this for you! I love y’all so much I went cropped in the dead of winter for you! Just kidding…but really though!
