Heart of Haute Blog

It took no-time for Ashley A.K.A. the Southern California Belle to woo the hearts of many!

She certainly stole ours and we're glad to have the opportunity to collaborate with her and adorn her with our garments!

Today, we'll be talking about the new and sensational Rayleine wrap dress in print,  'Rose Noir'....

We don't typically use Rayons, but we are SURE glad we found this. With a black-as-night ground and those beautiful pink two-tone roses, this print is just a stunner in person as it is in the images. 

It's a fabulous, light weight quality material that flows and hangs like a dream. No, really, you're going to LOVE this dress! 

And yes, it is a true wrap dress. Every woman on the planet knows a wrap dress is sort of like a magical garment that fits perfect on just about every body shape. 

We've added classic 40's inspired touches to this design with a puffed sleeve and gathers above the bust. 

We've already sold out of this material once already. It's currently available for cut-to-order (Yes, we make it JUST FOR YOU!!!)  so if you MUST have this incredible piece in your life this season, I suggest you get your order in before it's gone again. 

You'll also be glad to see the price is under $100. For a quality Made-in-America dress, that's pretty fantastic <3

Teer Wayde has been a dear to us for years. We love to include her in our Haute Honey community. We love it even more when she gets creative with our garments!

Behold! Teer Wayde, the Lumberjack's Wife.

No, there's no secret handshake to this process. No special knock three times on the ceiling if you want me, baby.  You can buy me a drink if you wanna, but I'll still give you this tip for free, Honey ;) 

YES! Instead of keeping it a secret, we're opening up the opportunity in a way that we can manage - for now, we will see how this works out. So far, so good!  And I am trying to figure a way to make this experience easy for YOU as well. Because...we love you. Duh!

It's true, we've offered a custom service in the past to those that ask for it. However, most of those conversations with our regular custom Honey were behind closed doors....or...private messages on Facebook, I should say. Maybe  they want a different color they like THIS print but in THAT dress. Oh girl, we can totally make that happen.

So... Heart of Haute IS a design and manufacturing house. We have the ability to do a lot under one roof. I mean, when we say everything is made in California, it's true!

From the point of making pattern, to cutting, sewing, and finishing....we do it all, Honey.  We even have some of our materials printed in Los Angeles, making OUR items even more exclusive in the world. I mean, doesn't it feel great to know that you own something that maybe 100 other women on the planet own?

In some cases, we offer items that are even MORE exclusive, like that gorgeous Black Monte Carlo dress I posted about last week... there's only 3 of those in the world. Can you believe that? and there's one more left... Better hurry before I get back to the warehouse, ya'll.  

We'll be working on this service on our site this summer to ensure a smooth and positive shopping experience for you, Honey. In the meantime, should you order from this 'Made to Order' section, you can be sure that YOUR garment is actually, really, truly being cut and sewn just for you!

So Long!

The best thing about Heart prints, while they're obviously very appropriate for February 14,  they can really be worn all year round!  But, no matter how you plan to dress on the Day of La-la-love, we still want to make our fabulous Be Still My Heart  print available at a nice price.  I mean, imagine the looks you'll get at work in that little wiggle skirt and an Estelle Blouse...

When you wish upon a star.... Heart of Haute knows who you are, you darling little stargazer <3

Hey Honeys, it's Mandie Bee. Do you ever just want to lay around and think about the universe? I know I do....these dreamy little star prints are some of MY favorites in the line.  The Constellations print is great for any Astrology Geek, and  our Magic Print is rather reminiscent of that good old Dapper Vintage Disney motif.  You can snag your lucky star this weekend.

Heart of Haute is known for those beautiful, figure flattering dresses with the swooping full skirts, the incredible prints, and unique vintage designs. While this may be true, we are also VERY,  very busy when it comes to making all those solid basics every Haute Honey needs in her wardrobe. We know you mix and match your pieces to get that perfect pinup look. We also know that our Marilyn Top, Etstelle Top, and Sweet Sweater have been at the top of your shopping list!  If you don't own one of these awesome staples yet, today may be the day to try one...or all three!!! 

And if you DO have one of these, just remember that they all come in an array of different colors and prints. Here are some of our top picks and best sellers that every Haute Honey needs in her closet this season!

1. The Aimee Dress in Sunshine Daisy

In a world that may be turning gray, you can still brighten up the day in this beautiful Sunshine Daisy print! Just the right colors to welcome in the Fall. We've done it up in our classic Aimee dress.

2. The Sweet Sweater

It is an undeniable truth that the Sweet Sweater is one of our greatest inventions! You will never have a better sweater, we promise. This baby is there right when you need it. Compact enough to roll up and hold in your purse until you need it. The Sweet sweater also comes in tons of great solid colors, so you can mix and match with your closet as needed.

3. The Haute Circle Skirt  in Patriot Plaid Flannel

I bet you didn't think you could wear flannel outside of some comfy PJ's or when your boyfriend let's you borrow his flannel at camp, right? WRONG!!!  A few years ago, Heart of Haute took a great liking to a line of flannels and decided they were fashion worthy.  This means warm, cotton dresses and skirts for you! Not everyone can hang with wool, I get it. Our flannels are high quality and light weight. If you don't know, it may be time to find out.

4. The Diva Jacket

So far proven to become a favorite among the honeys and fashion bloggers like Miss Amy May and Teer Wayde. This fitted jacket with the adorable peplum is chic, stlyin', and will automatically make you feel like...well...a DIVA.  Don't believe us? Find out for yourself. In fact, we had such a great response from ya'll, we added this style in MORE COLORS!!!!  Don't forget the matching skirt!

5. The Estelle Blouse in Chambray Dot

The Estelle Top is the sweetest blouse vintage fashion enthusiasts have seen yet! This has become a swift favorite for its classic very-vintage styling. Honeys LOVE to pair this blouse with our skirts.

6. The Vogue Pencil Skirt

Classic lines for you classic lookin' gals out there. The Vogue skirt is a high-waisted dream boat of a skirt with a matching belt, stretch twill to hug your lady curves, and a sensational walking slit. Knock 'em dead, Honey.  The Vogue Pencil skirt comes in black, navy, and red.

7. The Manhattan Dress in Caramel

The Manhattan Dress was a complete success last Autumn when we first released her to the world! Now, we've added a delightfully dapper new color. Feast your eyes on this Caramel color Manhattan dress.

8. The Doreen Dress in Watch Plaid

Back to School Babes, be glad! Mandie Bee's spin on this classic print will have every head turnin' while you waltz your way through the commons. It even has 2 front pockets to hold your phone when you're on the go go go!

9.The Elsa Top in Tartan Plaid

The Elsa Blouse is the long-sleeved sister of our popular Estelle Blouse. It's the perfect blouse for layering up with sweaters and skirts. To keep things classic, we chose this red Tartain plaid to

10. The Super Spy Dress

Ah yes, will we ever get tired of this dress? 10,000 happy customers agree that this is the dress of the century! Modeled by our pal, Bernie Dexter, The infamous Super Spy Dress has been a part of our line since 2005 and it is STILL a best selling item every Fall and Winter season. Honeys even admit to re-ordering when their original one begins to show its wear....it's timeless. It's sexy. It's got a cool name! (I sometimes like to believe it was the inspiration for Lana's wardrobe on the Archer TV show.)

Bonus Feature!   Because Our Super Spy Dress is such a hot seller, it only made sense to offer the same classic cut as a top!
