New Orleans Travel Guide
Good Morning readers! With the recent start of Saints’ football season and cooler air around the corner, I can’t help but get excited about visiting the Big Easy! I live about an hour out of the city so visiting New Orleans always feels like a mini staycation and I always have to stop at least one to five of my favorite places. If you’ve never been to New Orleans before, do yourself a favor and book a trip right now. Don’t worry. I’ll take care of everything else. I’ll tell you all of the top places to wine, dine, shop and stay in New Orleans starting the most important thing on the list…FOOD!
Where to dine:
My Favorite NOLA Brunch Spots:
Court of Two Sisters
Antoine’s: Order the shrimp and grits and of course, their famous Oysters, Rock-a-feller and Baked Alaska! Don’t forget to ask for a tour at the end of brunch! The history behind that place is mind blowing!
Elizabeth’s
Commander’s Palace
My Favorite Snack Spots In NOLA:
Aunt Sally’s Pralines
Café Beignet: My favorite hidden gem on Royal St.
Café Du Monde: Be prepared to wait in line while enjoying music from talented street performers and jazz bands!

Snowballs in the summer

Juan’s Flying Burrito
Domenica Pizza

Sylvain
Dickie Brennan’s
Jacques Imo’s
Galatoire’s
Café Adelaide
Peche

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!

Candy Apple Boutique is Finally Here!
Outfit: Leather & Suede Leggings from Zara | Pointy Toe Fringe Booties | Parker Floral Peplum c/o The Mix
Good Morning readers, do you remember when I used to post about the Candy Apple popup shops in NOLA? Haute Off The Rack even hosted a popup shop with Candy Apple in Covington at 311 Salon this past spring. Well, I’m super excited to announce that the Bienvenu sisters just opened their first Candy Apple boutique this past Friday, September 27th. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to make the grand opening, but yesterday I got to play dress up with Candace and Cassie Bienvenu at the new Candy Apple boutique in Metarie before going to the NOLAFW shows. Their store looks absolutely amazing from the simple, yet modern lucite chairs and haircalf rug in the dressing rooms to the new logo designed by Krystal Bennett. I especially love how the accent wall in the back of the store complements the boutique perfectly. Oh, and did I mention that they have a huge bowl of Candy on the desk? How appropriate! I don’t think I even have to tell you about the clothes because I’m sure you can see in this post that Candy Apple has some gorgeous pieces right now! I wanted to take half of the store home with me!
All of the jackets and fur vests in this post are currently available at Candy Apple so if you like what you see, head on over to their new location in Old Metarie Village. I know that Candace and Cassie will make your shopping experience at Candy Apple a sweet one!
Candy Apple Boutique is located on 701 Metarie Road, Suite 1B105, Metarie, LA
