Good Morning readers, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and Father’s Day!  Krystal from A Pinch of Lovely and I couldn’t be more excited to share our new beach series with you today! Over the next month, we’ll be sharing all of our top beach party accessories and essentials on Haute Off The Rack and A Pinch of Lovely. To help us prepare for our beach series, we got on the snowball and donut diet. No no no, not a real snowball and donut diet. What we mean is sometimes we can all feel a little insecure on the beach in bathing suit in front of everyone. To prevent that from happening, you need to come prepared to have fun and you won’t even think twice about your bodily insecurities! Krystal and I are both wearing these super fun snoball and pineapple tees as coverups and we brought along fun props and beach toys like this giant inflatable donut. I can assure you that if you bring a giant donut to the beach, your bodily imperfections is the last thing that anybody will be paying attention too!  Just remember to focus on having fun! Girls with big smiles who know how to have a good time surely look like the most confident type of girls and confidence is beauty!

Now head over to  A Pinch of Lovely to check out the details of her look!

Good morning readers, I hope you all enjoyed your weekend. It was nice and warm over here where I live. It’s so nice to get back out in the sun again and enjoy the beach-like weather.  However, the return of nice warm weather also comes with changes in your skin. You’ll find that you might have to change up your skin care routine to adjust to the dry hot weather. I use Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser to wash my face and then I finish with the Cetaphil DailyAdvance lotion. I love the gentle skin cleanser because it’s for all skin types so it always adjusts well to the changes in my skin no matter what season it is. The daily advance lotion is ultra hydrating so it’s perfect for the dry summer heat. I’ve actually been using Cetaphil since high school so you can always find it in my bathroom cabinet. It has just always worked so well for my normal skin type even when my skin went through changes as I got older. It’s nice to know I can always count on a face cleanser to do it’s job!

Good Morning readers, I’ve got two blog posts for you starting with “What’s Haute Now!”  I recently came across Betsy Pittard’s beautiful boho-inspired jewels at Candy Apple Boutique in Metairie, LA and instantly fell in love with them. During the spring and summer I’m all about layering on a ton of boho-beaded necklaces and bracelets her designs are right up my alley.  Betsy kindly sent me this gorgeous assortment of jewels right before I left for New York Fashion Week, but I wore so many layers of clothes throughout the whole trip that I never got to show off any of these fab pieces. However, it won’t be long before you start seeing BPD pieces popping up in every other outfit post on Haute Off The Rack.

What’s Haute Now: Flash Lens Shades

Good Morning readers, today I’m starting a new series on Haute Off The Rack called What’s Haute Now?  Each week I’ll feature a different topic-  a person, product, brand, accessory, item of clothing or place.  I’m going to keep you in-the-know of what is on my “haute” list!

I know I tried this a week or so ago with the At-Home Manicure post, but that was before I accidentally deleted my whole blog. Yea, that really happened! If you ever see a button on the back end of a website that reads “Restore to Default,” do NOT press it!!! I repeat, do NOT press that button.  It could easily ruin three whole days of your life especially if you don’t have all of your content and coding backed up!

Anyway, back to these awesome shades… Flash lens sunnies are all the rage this season. I know by now that you’ve probably seen my Ray bans all over my blog and Instagram.  They have quickly become one of my top favorite accessories. I prefer the matte gold, blue mirror aviator style shades best. However, there are plenty of different frames, colors and styles to choose from. Scroll through my blog to see all of the different ways that I’ve worn my flash lens shades. I love how they add a pop of color to my outfits! I bet you never thought of adding color to your wardrobe with a pair of sunglasses! Am I right?
