A DATE WITH SUBOO X PANDORA

Yep, I had a SERIOUS date with Pandora x SUBOO. Over pancakes, chicken waffles, and mimosas of course. Both designer labels I’ve coveted forever and ever. And during Miami Swim Week, the pair teamed up to put on one of my favorite shows! I knew SUBOO would put on something a bit more edgy than everything else we’ve seen. Why do Aussie’s do swim SO GOOD?! The black cut-outs, the leather-like swimsuits. It was dark, yet it was light. The badass vibes were softened with gorgeous florals and white. It’s their high, sporty necklines and “oo my bootie looks good!” low bottoms that get me every season. Pandora pulled these looks together with a simple charmed band on each model down the runway. Classic. Just the way I like it.

WARRIOR WOMAN // 6 Shore Road runway

I made a super special appearance on the 6 Shore Road runway show during Miami Swim Week! Closing the show, and all smiles down the runway with designer Pooja for the grand finale. I hadn’t walked the runway in YEARS. It was like my 17 year old self again….walking the likes of YSL, Nina Ricci, Marc Jacobs. So many memories. But never have I done SWIM WEEK. I closed the 6 Shore Road show in the gorgeous neon embroidered Tigress Kaftan. Inspired by the warrior women of Nepal, I was decked in gorgeous silver hardware, white henna, a badass nose ring, and extra thick black eyeliner. I absolutely love this type of look. The hair, a twisted braid down the back. Never can I get over her gorgeous prints, and eclectic cut-out swimsuits and coverups. I had the best time playing WARRIOR WOMAN on the catwalk. Who knows when my next runway show will be…maybe NYFW?

HOT SUMMA NIGHT.

Miami Swim Week went by quicker than we expected. We sat by the pool Monday afternoon, in a haze, not wanting to board the flight back to New York. But let’s rewind to the beginning. Dylana and I had just arrived this evening. The humid like a kick to the face, I hopped in the shower once we arrived, leaving me with a head of wet hair before the first runway show that night. But there’s something I love about these HOT SUMMA NIGHTS. The Freehand Miami became one of the coolest little spots to hang at night. The Broken Shaker famous to locals. The eclectic decor, the group of cool kids behind a fog of smoke, the style. It’s like the Brooklyn in Miami. Oh, and not to mention, the music was perfect. It definitely felt a bit like home. But trust, I did love the beautiful Delano and Raleigh hotels on the strip. We got to experience all of Miami. From the luxury, to the nightclubs (talk about an unknown adventure!), to the beaches. It was indeed ROMPER weather. Just sitting on the chair, you can feel your skin dripping. I kept my wardrobe simple. But had quite some fun adding unexpected accessories and lip colors to all my looks. This evening, I went with the sandals I wore every night, a lace onesie, and my boyfriend’s scarf as a necktie. I guess I brought the French to Florida baby.

I’ve got loads more to show you. Like my surprise appearance on the 6 Shore Road catwalk. Stay tuned.

DAISY DREAM

The new Marc Jacobs perfume is here! DAISY DREAM. “For the Daisy girl who dares to dream.” I am in love with this light and airy scent. And how beautiful is this bottle?! It’s a completely new design, giving the daisy embroidery a lace-like look. So ethereal, and beautiful. Whenever I wear this scent, I think of myself in all white. My most innocent little white lace dress. That, barefoot, my favorite accessories, and sitting in the white sand. It’s a youthful and free look I want to keep forever and ever. The new fragrance captivates delectable top notes of blackberry, fresh grapefruit, and succulent pear. The heart of the scent derives from jasmine, lychee, and blue wisteria. The base is my favorite part. We’re talking white woods, musk, and coconut water. This new bottle is the perfect addition to the rest of my Daisy collection. It’s a more romantic and feminine take on the classic Daisy, and I’m in love.

The fragrance is available in all MJ/ MBMJ boutiques
