red and leather this month

hello buzznet!

hope you all had a gorgeous weekend :)

This week was really hectic I worked on my AW10 collection soo much

I also had meetings about remodeling my new office in LA I'm so excited about that!! :D

I also attended three events this week first a fashion show at Greta boutique in beverly hills [it was really chic and the models looked uhhmazing] then I went to the US Weekly magazine hot hollywood party and then I went to the Samsung/tmobile party at blvd3 in hollywood

I wore a red dress from my new collection. I was obsessed with RED this week haha <3

I also did my nails "down right red"

I love RED for the month of Nov.

I'm excited for thanksgiving!! I'm making a big thanksgiving dinner with my family on Wed (I know thanksgiving is on Thurs) but my grandma and grandpa leave for Brazil on Thursday so we are going to celebrate early!! :]

The leather jacket is such a classic item, but this season we are finding new ways to wear it! Here are a few different ways to wear your leather jacket:

1. Contrast
Wearing something really dressy and adding a leather jacket gives your outfit contrast making you look so effortlessly fashionable! Try going with a bright color for a more dramatic effect.

2. Layered
The layered look is really hot this season! wearing a hoodie and button down shirt then topping it off with a leather jacket is a perfect way to stay warm and still be trendy. You can also add hats and scarves to complete the look.

3. Proportion
Playing with proportion is a fun way to incorporate your leather jacket. You can wear a mini skirt or a pair of shorts to make your look more flirty and young. Also,wearing a cropped leather jacket can work wonders on shorter girls because it is less overpowering on your stature.

4. Rockstar
By throwing on a leather jacket over an old band T-shirt and some skinny jeans you have a classic street look that will never go out of style. Try adding boots to your look for a more glam rock feel.

LASSST WEEK on House of Jazmin I was getting ready for LA FASHION WEEK!!

Morgan and I were casting models for the runway show. It was such a fun casting, it was an all day thing-we had them walk,looked at their books and talked to them for a bit.

after selecting our 15 girls we had a fitting the day before the show- it was so insane. Morgan and I changed the girls about 32874237423 times before we had the final order/run of show. It is SO important to have the right dress on the right model. We also styled each look with jewelry,accessories,and shoes.

I also had a meeting with the HAIR/MAKEUP team. I had to make sure we were all on the same page with the makeup and hair look I picked for the show,so we tested it on one of the girls

yayayay!

Hope you all have a gorgeous weeeek<3 XOXOXO

I worked really hard on my outfit for the party! It was this bright yellow top with a white mini skirt! =] I think this outfit was a good way to say goodbye to SUMMER<3 Since Fall is right around the corner. What do you think of this look?

My bestie Morgan also wore one of my designs,a white silk dress that ties in the back! She looked SO uhh-mazing. As silly as it sounds,I LOVE that we matched hahaah.

What in the world would I do without my best friend morgan! :)

As always<3 I had my gorgeous Li Cari models at the premiere party wearing looks from line.

here is Khristynne,one of my really good friends and model getting ready for the event! I put her in a black mini cocktail dress from my line.

This was a picture from my phone :D haha I wanted to tweet it but I got really busy during the party :/

Some of the VIP guests walked the carpet at the party,here are a few of my favorite red carpet pics! left to right, Actress/singer MALESE JOW, model HANNA BETH, Actress/Singer ZOE MYERS they all looked SO cuute and it's funny how they all have one hand on their hip and the other holding a chic little clutch. love ittt!
