Good morning readers and welcome to Day 9 of Haute Off The Rack’s Island Getaway.  Krystal of A Pinch of Lovely and Sarah of Think Twice Style and I have bravely volunteered to bring you some of this season’s “hautest” swimwear trends starting with the classic black + white + gold look.  I usually can’t wear black during the summer without a pop of color somewhere so I used my my colorful Tart wrap as a bathing suit cover up.  As for my bathing suit, I wouldn’t recommend laying out in a monokini considering how your tan lines would turn out but it’s still a great piece to have when you’re feeling a little self-conscious about wearing a bathing suit in front of people.  The monokini is basically just a more fun and flirty one-piece with cutouts so if you’ve been wanting to try something new or if you’re not quite ready for a bikini but want to ditch the one-peice, I highly recommend the monokini!

Head on over to Think Twice Style and A Pinch of Lovely to see their outfit details and check back next week to see more swimwear!

Good Morning readers, I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.  Mine was full work work work!  I’ve been so crazy busy lately trying to plan out my Island Getaway looks and my fashion segment on WBRZ news this Wednesday at 4pm (channel 2)!  I have barely had any time to put together blog posts for you all these past few days, but not to worry because I’m about to launch Haute Off The Rack’s Island Getaway series.

I could really use a little retail therapy right now.  If I could I would cross off all of these items on my current Summer Haute List and I would add the entire Show Me Your Mumu Pool Party collection (pictured below) to my summer wardrobe.  What about you?  What is on you summer haute list?

Good Morning readers, I hope you all had a great weekend full of warm sunny weather.  We sure had some hot sunny weather here in Louisiana.  It’s finally starting to feel like summer around here so if you haven’t felt ready to break out your shorts, tanks and swim suits now is the time.

I plan on wearing this Haute Hippie Longhorn tank even more casually than how I styled it here, but this is how I might transition it from day to night.  I just added some wedges and a white blazer to you how you can clean up your casual summer time look without actually having to change your whole outfit.
