Hi friends!! Fall is coming in HAUTE! I can’t believe today is finally the official launch of my Fall 2021 Collection that I designed with Gibsonlook.

MY SIZING AND HEIGHT FOR REFERENCE:

Most people don’t realize how petite I am and I understand that knowing my sizes can help you determine what size to get.

I am 5 ft and I wear a size 27 in high waisted jeans and smalls in leggings. I’m currently a 34B and take size XS/S in dresses and tops, smalls in sports bras, and XS-S in outerwear.

Button Cardigan Duster with side Slits | If you want one of these duster cardigans, I highly suggest scoping yours up today because these will sell fast! This button front cardigan is a wardrobe staple and is such a versatile piece. You can wear it casually with jeans and loungewear or dress it up with heels and skirt or faux leather shorts.

Also, the buttons are functional so you can wear it as a dress too! Just be sure to size up if you want to wear as a dress

As for the design details, we created it with two side slits to give it plenty of movement and this ribbed fabric is so soft and cozy!

Sizing: I suggest going true to size or even sizing up one if you plan to wear it as a dress. I can absolutely fit in the XS, but I prefer the small or even the medium for a looser and flowy fit.

Jennifer Surplice Wrap Cinch Dress | This dress is so chic and sexy for a girls night, fancy date night or even a wedding guest dress. I designed it with an adjustable tie at the slit so you can make it higher or lower and a clasp at the bust that you can leave open or closed. I added the shoulder pads because I love how it gives your upper body a triangular shape, which gives you the illusion of a tinier waist and who doesn’t want the illusion of a smaller waist in a bodycon dress, right?!

Sizing: I highly recommend sizing down in this dress because it’s super stretchy and the ruched stomach helps conceal the belly area. I can wear both the XS and XXS, but I prefer the XXS because it holds the stomach area in better. Also, for my pregnant gals, this dress is super stretchy so it’s super bump friendly!

Jennifer Padded V-Neck Tee | Just like the cinched dress, this padded shoulder tee also gives you those inward lines, which draw your eyes to the waist and give you the illusion of a smaller waist. Also, shoulder pads are right on trend for this season and elevate your everyday looks.

Sizing: I suggest going true to size in this tee. I normally wear an XS or S in tops and I took an XS in the top and it fits great.

Jennifer High Low ribbed mock neck tank: I designed this tank with a split on the side and a high low hem to create the perfect mock neck tank to wear with high waisted leggings especially faux leather leggings! I don’t know about you, but I always feel so exposed in my faux leather leggings so I like to wear tops that cover my backside, but are still flattering to the legs. The split on the side really lengthens your legs and you can even wear it over skirts too. I also like to tuck the front in and leave the back out for a more dramatic effect.

Sizing: I suggest going to true to size in this top. I’m wearing the XS.

Scroll through this post for a few sneak peeks of the collection and some behind the scenes.

In case you’re wondering how the design process works, here is a summarized step by step list:

1) I do tons of trend research and review personal sales reports to develop a successful design concept. I also look through my own wardrobe to see what it lacks. Then I put together an inspo board, list out all of the design features and style details, and submit my wishlist to the Gibsonlook team. I always keep my #hauteofftherack girls at the forefront of my mind during the entire process.

2) The Gibsonlook design team takes these ideas, creates a design deck, and makes up the first set of samples, trend concepts, and color palette schemes for next steps.

3) For the last year of collaborating, we went back and forth mailing samples and swatches, but since this Collection is big, I traveled to LA in April, where The Gibsonlook design team presented the initial result of my Concept Collection to me. It was hands down one of the coolest experiences of my life! I have always wanted to have a meeting in a conference room and the fact that it was all for me featuring my designs was a dream come true all in itself. When I walked in the room, they had all of the beautiful samples hanging on a rack with inspiration boards and design decks printed for everyone to reference during the meeting. All of the samples were ready for me to feel, alter and try on. We had so much fun working the collection all afternoon from reviewing fit needs, selecting fabrics, and discussing what the perfect HOTR Collection would include. You all came up a lot during the conversation because ultimately we want you to feel happy, confident and beautiful in our clothes.

4) Following the in-person meeting, the second samples were made with all the necessary changes and shipped to me for a round of edits. Usually, I wear the pieces around once I receive them to get a good feel for the item, and then I film feedback videos, and samples are adjusted accordingly. We pay a lot of attention to the fit styling to ensure the items reflect your wants and requests. The Gibsonlook team uses their expertise to ensure the scale works from XXS to 2XL and is inclusive to a broad audience.

5) After all changes have been completed, final samples are sent to me for approval.

6) Once I receive the final round of samples, I travel to an aesthetically pleasing shoot location that reflects the vibe of the collection! I was supposed to go to NYC this past week to shoot the Collection, but Hurricane Ida came barreling through at a category 4 and devastated all of southeast Louisiana, including my hometown. I am so fortunate that the Gibsonlook team is hosting me along with 5 other influencers to shoot and launch the Collection this upcoming week. We’ll be able to show you the pieces on different body types so you can reference them for fit.

7) When we arrive at the shoot location, we unpack & organize looks for shooting. A ton of planning, prepping, outfit styling, and location scouting go on behind the scenes during this time. I have a lot of help from my assistant to make this all possible. I’m so excited to have the Gibsonlook team along with 5 other talented content creators involved in this shoot as I’m usually shooting along with my photographer and assistant.

8) Steam, steam, and steam! I also layout all of the selected shoes, handbags, and accessories for the shoot. We style all of the looks beforehand and photos of them, so we know what goes with what.

9) Create content with photographers for my blog, Gibsonlook website and social media. We always choose a location that best highlights the overall vibe of the design. An aesthetically pleasing background + natural light is key to a successful launch!

10) Everything comes to life when the Collection finally hits the site! The best part is getting to see the Collection on my friends, family, and you of course! None of this would be possible without you all, so thank you!!
