So Long Winter Wear!

Today we’re saying to so long to turtlenecks, over the knee boots and pretty much all winter wear because even though spring hasn’t officially arrived, it basically feels like it has in Louisiana. I actually just made the switch from fall/winter to spring/summer in my closet last night. I boxed up all of my sweaters, boots, outerwear and cold weather accessories in large clear containers and stored them away in a separate closet. However, I did leave out this lightweight jacket for styling easy transitional looks.

Happy Friday everyone! It’s going to be a beautiful weekend at least for us Louisianans!

First stop, Laguna Beach and then we’re off to party in the desert for My Style Diaries’ bachelorette trip in Palm Springs.

The top featured in today’s post is called the Bella Dahl Split Back Button Down Shirt, which also comes in couple of the other washes too like white, dusk green, black and deep crimson. See here–> Split Back Button Up Shirt

It’s the perfect shirt for a day of playing tourist in the New Orleans French Quarter especially during Mardi Gras. Speaking of Mardi Gras, it’s going to be a beautiful weekend for parades all the way until Fat Tuesday! If you’re heading out to Bacchus & Endymion this weekend, I recommend wearing the following essentials!

Mardi Gras Parade Essentials:

1) Comfortable shoes for walking! I like wearing my Nikes or flat ankle boots!

2) Cross body bag 

3) Casual warm jacket that can go day to night!

4) I suggest packing some gloves and a scarf for night time parades!

5) Sunglasses for the day time!

Good Afternoon readers, I’m sorry for the late blog post today, but I’m still recovering from New York Fashion Week. I swear we never stopped for a break in that city nor did we get any sleep! It was crazy but so much fun! I can’t wait to show you photos from the trip. I’m sure you saw a bunch of pictures already if you follow me on Instagram, but just wait until you see the rest.

As for this outfit, I’ve already styled this Iconic white shirt from White House Black Market two other ways. In case you missed the posts, you can view them here–> 5 Key Pieces For An Easy Transition To Fall & The Iconic White Shirt. Like I mentioned in those previous posts, denim and a white top is all you need to get through this transitional phase from summer to fall. However, I realize that sometimes you can get stuck on how to change up your denim and white tee look or how to take it from day to night. That’s why I decided to style this outfit three different ways for you.  Just remember to incorporate your fall shoes, handbags and accessories into your look like this Blue Croc Danielle Nicole backpack.  It’s also always good to throw something fresh in there like these white studded pumps by French Connections which are available in gorgeous new colors for fall. I’ve got my eyes on the navy and grey ones! Once the weather gets a little cooler you can start including different jackets and sweaters into your transitional looks. Until then, it’s also really cute to tie a plaid button down shirt around waist with jeans a simple tee. You can also draping a denim jacket or neutral-colored moto jacket over your shoulders for more of a statement

The Exciting News Behind The Navy Clutch: In case you’re wondering why there are a few pictures of a beautiful navy clutch with Laura Mercier makeup that’s because I am working on an exciting collaboration with the Saks in New Orleans. I can’t spill too many details just yet. All can say is… plan to stop by the Saks at Canal Place in New Orleans on September 27 for a fun shopping event with Haute Off The Rack. You can even recieve one of these textured clutches with a few Laura Mercier makeup samples inside with purchase.  More exciting details to come!
