Good Morning readers!  Remember when I told you about IZAVEL on Sneak Peek Sunday?  Well, here it is!  Isabel Varela, designer of IZAVEL and I decided to give Haute Off The Rack readers an exclusive first look at her Fall 2012 collection.  Get ready for some Fall trend forecasting with this incredible contemporary womenswear line based out of Dallas, Texas.

I actually styled this lambskin leather piece with three different outfits to show the versatility of the vest, and unsurprisingly the vest added that WOW factor to each ensemble.  That just goes to prove that sometimes all you need is one new item of clothing to freshen up your wardrobe and give you a whole new look.  I had a blast styling IZAVEL’s Fall 2012 collection, and I hope you enjoy seeing Isabel’s fashion forward designs as much I loved styling them!

IZAVEL Company Overview:

IZAVEL creates sleek modern shapes to give an unexpected twist to classic, tailored styles. Handcrafted from start to finish with luxurious fabric, each piece will allow you to convey individuality, confidence and style that is truly one of a kind. Inspired by everything from architecture and music to everyday objects, IZAVEL creates fashion-forward details with stark asymmetric silhouettes which work together to bring a unique twist to each of her designs (IZAVEL Facebook page).

P.S. I will repost this once Fall 2012 actually rolls around!!

Vibrant Prints by Nicole Miller

Outfit: Nicole Miller printed one shoulder dress from Park Lane,  The Dee Keller Fairley heel in nude available at Park Lane

Accessories: Cat eye sunglasses (Urban Outfitters), Black fringe purse from Brenchley 

Heatwave lipstick (Nars)

Jewelry: Pink and yellow rope bracelet (Tory Burch), Gold cuff (Banana Republic) old, but similar (here)

About this dress:  I picked this bright “flowy” dress out in October of 2011 at Dallas market while we were scoping out the Nicole Miller Spring 2012 collection.  I just fell in love with the vibrant colors and thought it would be perfect for Spring Break as a possible Easter outfit!  Since there was so much going on with the dress, I felt it was best to pair it with a neutral heel.  I think the Dee Keller Fairley fit that characteristic perfectly! What do you think?  By the way if you’re not in to dresses this print also comes in a loose fitted top and romper by Nicole Miller!

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend.  My weekend was long and full of work, but Dee Keller turned it into a great weekend when she informed me of her new shipment of handbags from her factories Italy.  I met with her bright and early Sunday morning to pick one up and let me tell me you… This purse is absolutely fabulous!  It is a beautiful tan, structured leather tote with exquisite detailing including her DK logo in gold hardware.  You will see it in numerous of my outfits posts to come, but until then here are a few pictures below!

 If you’re interested in purchasing this gorgeous handbag, please contact Dee Keller at Deekeller4@gmail.com or her daughter Brighton at Brighton.keller@gmail.com.  You can check out Brighton’s blog to see how she has already styled this purse.

P.S.  I know this outfit is a tad pricey, but make sure to follow my Impress for Less board on Pinterest for the Best Bargain Buys under $100!

Have an excellent day!

A Pop of Red

Outfit:  Red high low skirt ONLY $14.50,  Urban Outfitters leopard print top,

BCBG heels (old),  Chanel bag similar (here), Target umbrella

Jewelry: Banana Republic white cuff and gold cuff,  Michael Kors watch,

Monogram necklace from Love boutique (similar here),  Shanghai Express lipstick

Hi everyone! I’m so sad that weekend is at its end, but here is an outfit post to cheer you up!  These pictures are from the freezing cold, rainy day photo shoot.  As you can see my hair is looking a little dreary, but I think the red high low skirt really takes the stage in these pictures anyway!  The color just pops and I think the printed top and black ankle wrap heels kind of adds some edge to the outfit.  I’m wearing two cuffs from Banana Republic that I bought for 40% OFF!  What a DEAL!  I suggest keeping up with their coupons and promotions because you can get some awesome deals and steals there.  I applied some red matte lip stick (suggested by Jade Younger) to pull the whole look together.  In a previous post I talked about high low hems adding a dramatic effect to the outfit and turning heads.  What do you think?  Would this skirt catch your eye?

Here is a Sneak Peak of the next outfit post with F.I.F, Gretchen Barnes:

 

 

Nautical

Elizabeth and James dress,   Joan and David wedges,  Tory Burch clutch,  Forever 21 hat,

Hourglass lipstick, Urban Outfitters sunglasses

Jewelry: Stella and Dot,   Karma necklace,   Michael Kors,  David Yurman

Good Morning!  I am so excited about this outfit post because it’s one of my favorites!  How great is this Elizabeth and James dress!!  You can find it at Park Lane boutique in Baton Rouge.  I was a tad worried that these horizontal stripes weren’t going to flatter my figure, but the seam on the left side of the dress runs asymmetrically which helped break up the stripes.  I added the floppy hat to give the outfit a little fun flare.  I wore a simple gold chain necklace and bracelet along with my Michael Kors watch to keep with the classical nautical theme!  Have a wonderful day and I hope you enjoyed this post!
