I went on an Interview today in a Betsey Johnson suit 
. I havent been on an interview in ages, mostly because I lasted so long with my earlier jobs. This outfit was definitely an energy booster, I felt confident and positive about the outlook of my day.

So a few weeks ago I got an email from M.I.S.S, they contacted me because they wanted to start a Web Series solely based on people with amazing style. I was so happy they wanted me to be episode 1, my episode is going to be a première of many to come. They basically ask me a bunch of questions about my personal style and what drives me and I have to pick 3 great outfits to showcase. I had to rush (long story) so I picked 3 of my most memorable outfits that I could think of off the top of my head so I could make it to the shoot on time. I do well under pressure so I was able to make it to my destination ready and determined to rock this shoot. The M.I.S.S crew was awesome, they greeted me with open arms and made me feel comfortable and at home. They were so sweet and extremely supportive of who I am and what I stand for. Honestly, all I had to be was myself, and that shouldnt be hard for anyone. It was an extremely productive day and a great experience to be behind a video camera to talk about my crazy imagination. The video should be done in a few weeks, I will keep you all updated. Until then enjoy the behind the scenes footage thanks to my new friend Zoila who loves taking pictures<3, she was so sweet.

Karen invited me out yesterday to help her find a birthday outfit, her birthday is tomorrow and she wants to look fabulous for her 21st. I Invited my good friend Sarah to come and we had such a good time running around into different shops to find a dress for Karen. We went to Patricia Field’s, Topshop, Bloomingdale’s, Karen Millen, and Betsey Johnson. I havent been shopping with girls in forever so it was fun to get out and do so, even though I didn’t buy anything lol. I’m on a shopping diet till further notice, lets see how long this lasts. Aside from that-GOOD TIMES!
Patricia Fields!
Burger King for a pit stop lol!
This is how we do it!
Betsey Johnson!

Today I went on a job hunt and also had a meeting with a good friend of mine from Limite Magazine. This may not be your typical “dress for success” outfit, but for me it is..I wanted to make sure that every place I dropped my resumé off to, would remember me. Plus I just wanted to dress up 
lol. I felt like myself today. My hat is from Jaxon, my coat, purse, glittered mary jane’s, button-down, and skirt was all Betsey. The Broche and ring are vintage. Look out for me on WilliamYan.com as well, I bumped into Will while I was rushing off to my meeting and he took my picture.

I know many Talented people here in NY who are struggling to be “somebody”…The Truth is you are “somebody” discovered or not. Talent is a success within itself, when you are amazing at your craft, that is SUCCESS.

[A picture I took walking down Bedford with my beau in Brooklyn]
On Wednesday I had a lovely brunch with my Beau at Sea, I met up with my long-time friend’s Tammy & Christian for mexican food and drinks at Dos Caminos, and I attended the 21-7 party where I got to meet and greet people I’ve died to chat with in person. It was a great day and overall a great week, and I cant wait to see what’s next.
Here are all the pictures I took with my Nikon D40.

John Walder is a great photographer based out of Brooklyn, NY. I have worked with John before on a photo shoot and I am a good fan of his work. Just recently he took these photos and I just had to put them on my website because they are really cool. He calls this collection of photo’s LXG (league of extraordinary gentlemen). John and the guys were just hanging out until he felt a sudden jolt of inspiration to do a small shoot. Thats how inspiration works after all, it just comes when It pleases. As you can see, thats my Beau above. Below is John and a few of his friends. Joaquin (my beau) just did a photo shoot with John not too long ago, to see it click here. To see the photos I’ve done with John in the past, Click here.

Last weekend, my boyfriend, family, and I attended the motorcycle convention at the Jacob Javits Center. My beau was excited to go because he loves old bikes, specifically the triumph motorcycles from the 50s and 60s. We definitely saw many beautiful bikes at the show with incredible art work. Our favorite motorcycle’s of the convention was the Sucker-Punch-Sally creations. The art work was all about pinups and rock & roll, I loved it! I wanted to take all of them home!. Of course there were many sports bikes like your regular Kawasaki neon green bikes you see everywhere, but those are just not special to us. Especially my dad, who revives old vintage cars, he just wasnt impressed. I’m an old-fashioned gal myself and though I love dirt bikes, I really want a Harley. I already dress like a Biker most of the time, I figure why not lol? I would like to travel cross-country in a Harley, I’m adding that to my bucket list . My mother used to be a biker when she was younger along with 2 of her sisters, I know it was very nostalgic for her to be at this convention. We had such a good time, here are some highlights and a photo gallery.
This is one of the Sucker-Punch-Sally bikes, it was my favorite of the convention. I love the art work, the matching leather jacket, helmet, and Guitar. This motorcycle was created specifically for Fender.

My name is Jasmin Rodriguez also known as Vintage Vandalizm. I am an avid collector of vintage dresses and most people know me for my style. I am also an artist and I try to incorporate all aspects of art in everything that I do. I am an aspiring Designer and I plan to take over the fashion world with my limitless imagination. My whole philosophy on fashion has always been to think outside of the box. My style has no boundaries but I have commonly taken inspiration from the 40s, 50s, and 60s. I love the pinup culture and style however I love being versatile so most of the time I like to clash opposites, different genres of history and fashion and somehow, someway, I make it work. I think the world is too fixated on trends that people tend to forget who they are and what they like..I’m here to help you break free, to help you stand out, to help you create your own style, be your own person, and most importantly see fashion in a whole different light.
