Hey everyone, as promised I am sharing an initial update on my CoolSculpting results. I just scheduled my follow up appointment to take my standard “after” photos, but I can already see the results on the treated areas with my own eyes.
In case you missed my first post “My First Coolscupting Experience,” I mentioned that I received my first treatment at the Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology in New Orleans. I also explained that I did not choose to get CoolSculpting treatments because I don’t like my body. I love my body and only want to mold it into its best potential shape, which I’m sure is a feeling that most of you can relate to. You can read more about it here—>My First Coolsculpting Experience (OR) you can also check out the video on my IGTV.
Just to refresh your memory…CoolSculpting is a non-surgical, non-invasive, clinically proven treatment that reduces fat cells through FDA-cleared cooling technology. It’s a comfortable, fat freezing process with long-lasting results!
I treated my lower abdomen and both flanks, which most people refer to as a muffin top. I got four cycles: one on each flank (aka both of my love handles) and then two on my lower abdomen to cover the full area. As I mentioned before, I just want to mold my body into its best potential shape and I truly believe that CoolSculpting along with fitness and healthy eating has helped me achieve that. It takes about three months to see the full results and I already was seeing results on my trip to Paris. You can definitely tell a difference when I wear more form fitting clothes. Take this dress for example, you can see where my waist appears slimmer and less volume in the lower abdomen area.
I’ve gotten so many messages from you lately asking about the results and I will definitely share my standardized “after” photos on my Instagram after this next appointment. However, I’m sure that you can already see a difference in these photos of me in a bodycon dress that I wore in Paris. I am so pleased and impressed with the results and I can’t wait to see the side by side photos and share them with you.
Please let me know if you have any further questions about my experience and I will be sure to add my answers to this blog post. Also, let me know if there is anything you’d like me to ask the nurse during my next appointment.

Top 5 Instagram Worthy Spots in Bermuda
Hey everyone, today I’m sharing my Hamilton Princess travel review with you along with the top 5 Instagram worthy spots in Bermuda. For those of you who are new to Haute Off The Rack, this was actually my second trip to Bermuda. I traveled there by boat from New Jersey three years ago with some of my blogger friends and it was so beautiful that I promised myself I would return one day… just not by boat! LOL
Cruising through the Atlantic ocean is a bit of a rocky ride so this time I flew, which was a much more pleasant experience. The travel time isn’t bad at all. We flew one hour to Atlanta from Louisiana and then 2.5 hours to Bermuda. We stayed at the Hamilton Princess Resort, which is on the bay right in the heart of town, but we still had access to their Beach Club.

Top 5 Instagram Worthy Spots in Bermuda
1) The Boat Dock at Hamilton Princess | This is the perfect place to watch the sunset before heading to dinner at Marcus. By the way, you must order the cornbread appetizer! It’s to die for! The Chicken & Waffles is also super delicious too.

2) Flatt’s Village | I just can’t help myself when it comes to colorful buildings along the water so we of course had to make a stop at Flatt’s village near the aquarium to explore. We even ended up seeing a wild sea turtle, which so cool because it’s a sign of good luck. Because of their long lifespan, sea turtles often symbolize patience, wisdom, endurance, and good luck. Blake and I actually saw a giant sea turtle on the beach the day after our wedding so I definitely believe in the symbolism.

3) Pose on Pink | One of the best parts about the Hamilton Princess Bermuda other than their amazing food and service is the fact that the hotel is pink. And you know I can’t resist snapping a photo of my outfit in front of a pink wall.

4) Jobson’s Cove | This was the first spot I visited when I arrived in Bermuda. It’s the most beautiful beach I’ve ever seen in my entire life with magical pink sand and the most shade of turquoise water. I highly recommend watching the sunset here. In fact, we stopped here twice during our trip to watch the sun go down.

How To Wear Wide Leg Pants
Hey everyone, today I’m sharing how to wear wide leg pants for summer with Ann Taylor. When it comes to wide leg pants, waist lines are key especially if you’re petite like me. I like to pair mine with cropped tops or a shirt that will show off my wist line. If you want to go with a looser top, you can always add a belt. Don’t get me wrong, in some cases, loose flowy tops look great with wide leg pants, but that combo tends to swallow my petite frame so I like to stick with waist accentuating tops. As for shoes, a nude heel will always elongate your legs, but they also look great will mule slides and pointy toe booties in the fall.

If you’re hesitant but you want to slowly ease your way into the wide leg trend, I highly recommend going for a chic monochromatic look like I did in today’s blog post. It almost looks like a jumpsuit and gives off an effortlessly chic vibe.
For today’s look, I could have tucked in my sleeveless shirt and added a sleek brown belt, but since I didn’t have one, I decided to unbutton the bottom two buttons and tie the front to show off my waist. I styled my all white look with some flattering nude ankle strap heels and added a tiny pop of color with this skinny lemon scarf.

Suited Up For Memorial Day Weekend
Hey everyone, if you’re heading somewhere a little fancier this Memorial Day weekend, I’ve got just the outfit for you: a chic, white linen shorts suit! I plan on wearing mine to a 30th birthday dinner in New Orleans this weekend. I absolutely love wearing shorts paired with blazers because it looks so effortlessly-sophisticated with a hint of edge! And they look even more amazing when you find an exact matching set like this linen-blend blazer and high-waist linen shorts from Polo Ralph Lauren.
To style this look, I added a pop of blue gingham in honor of Memorial Day, but with an all-white matching set, the sky the is the limit with the amount colors and accessories you can choose to incorporate. However, I do recommend choosing a fitted top like a body suit, cropped top or shirt that you can tuck in while leave the shorts sleek and smooth. I also suggest going with a flattering heel or sandal that helps to elongate your legs to maintain the edgy-chic vibe of the outfit.
As I mentioned, the sky is the limit when it comes to styling all white outfits so I figured why not choose a bright, bold colored bag like this yellow pebbled leather saddle bag. Oh and there is the best part is that it’s currently 30% OFF at Polo Ralph Laurenwith code: MEMDAY
See how I styled this same handbag in a different color here—>My Go-To Look For Everyday Wear
The small size and convenient crossbody feature makes it great for everyday use!
