Lets all face it..sometimes we all feel so uninspired by our own closets that we forget the things we do have especially when it comes to your denim, not the most exciting topic right?

Well…. this past week we had the chance to produce, style, and be the JEANious host for the Jean Drive Event at the Montebello mall. One of my favorite things to do is teaching women of different shape size on HOW to wear outfits that flatter your body type the best. Jeans are an essential to every woman’s closet, right? well yes and no….I can say I was never a fan on jeans, I always found myself  much more comfortable in my leggings and an oversized shirt than a pair of skinny jeans.  As alot of you guys know I am HUGE on comfort, so when The Gap came out with the most amazingly fit and comfortable JEGGINGS (leggings  + Jeans) and they asked us to do  a segment on this for the Jean Drive event.. I was thrilled!

We also had Macy’s, JC Penny, Gap, Anchor Blue, New York & Co. and Forever 21 involved with this event showcasing their latest and greatest denim pieces.

We had an awesome event teaching ladies how to fancy up their denim without going broke!  Whether its the “denim on denim” look or layering technique we all walked out of the event inspired to face our own closet!

Hosted by the Hold Up Gallery, designer team Marisa Spinella and Arielle Vavasseur put together a lovely evening to showcase their new 2011 collection of oxfords. HM Soundsystem played some of the best music we’ve heard at an LA event in a long time, The Gorbals made our mouths water with perfect appetizers and Katie Rodgers created illustrations of the original 4 booties! Our eyes, feet, ears and tastebuds were happy — isn’t that what a great night is about?

The new collection is comprised of three new oxfords: June (Cream Ostrich), Madison (Brown Patent Snake) and Cooper (Cheetah Print)

and new version of Riina in a new chocolate hue. Shoe lovers rejoice!

We had an extraordinary team of people for a 2 day shoot in downtown Los Angeles. Take a peek below at some of the fall ensembles created by our fashion editor Jade Sykes. Makeup and Hair were done by our Beauty Director and Editor Leibi Carias & Sienree Du. Our creative director and in-house photographer Karla Ticas shot our trend reports with Breana & a burning red, darque fashion story with Tania from Pinkerton. We also got a chance to collaborate with a great beauty and fashion photographer from the OC, Sean Armenta, who photographed a striking fall editorial with Jaqueline from Ford.

Enjoy!
