#NMWARRIOR CAMPAIGN FILM // NICOLE MILLER

Style, Travel, Video
The NICOLE MILLER #NMWarrior campaign is here, and it was so amazing getting to film this campaign with my sister, Dylana Suarez. Sisters just being sisters. 
In between jumping into creeks with our skirts on, and speeding down the gorgeous roads of Connecticut, we had a very adventurous day shooting this campaign. I have fallen madly and deeply in love with the Nicole Miller #NMWarrior collection. It’s inspired by female warriors, strong women, and fearless fashion. The bold prints, killer leather pants, and printed twinsets make for living that fearless lifestyle. Creating your own rules and taking the road less traveled. The feeling that “YOU DON’T HAVE TO WEAR A SUIT TO FEEL STRONG.” Something that Dylana and I both live by. I wear what makes me feel confident. It could be that badass leather jacket, or fitted A-line skirt. 
So how far will you go? Show me your take on fearless fashion by tagging @nicolemillernyc #NMWARRIOR. 

Share our #NMWARRIOR campaign video on Facebook and Twitter to be entered to win a $500 giftcard to shop Nicole Miller. Be sure to tag @nicolemillernyc and #NMWARRIOR.

This Thursday, August 14th, marks a super important day for H&M and NYC. My sister Dylana  Suarez and I will be hosting the opening of H&M’s thirty-sixth store in New York State at The Mall at Bay Plaza in the Bronx. The store opens at noon and will allow customers in the Bronx access to the latest trends at the best prices.

To kick off the store opening, H&M customers at The Mall at Bay Plaza can donate old and unwanted pieces of clothing from any brand while in the store. Customers will receive a voucher for 15% off their entire purchase for each bag of donated clothing. Those who bring garments to be recycled before the store opens at noon will also have the chance to win H&M gift cards valued between $50 and $100 in addition to receiving the 15% off voucher. Not only that, H&M at The Mall at Bay Plaza will also offer the first 100 shoppers in line an H&M t-shirt and Access to Fashion Pass, valued from $10 to $300, in addition to other fantastic opening offers for the whole family!

TEXTURE PLAY // THROWING IT BACK

Style
I am SERIOUSLY throwing it back. Back to when my cheeks and nose were so pink from the cold, I couldn’t feel my own face. It’s funny seeing the pale version of myself as I look at my suitcase full of swimsuits and rashguards, my tan still going strong. All of these winter-ready pieces are stashed away somewhere far, FAR back into my closet. But these were the days. Mornings trying to figure out how to dress cute/warm/cozy in 20 minutes all while trying to be comfortable enough to take on the crowded streets and subway cars. Winters were shiveringly bitter, and it’s still hard taking in all of these looks. All of which, I got too busy to even look over. Today is all about texture play. Now being a New Yorker, I’ve totally mastered the art of layering. Fur under my leather. Bright pinks with my colorful plaids. Taking that British newsboy cap, along with stockings and a midi skirt out to the East Village. Freezing temps are fun when you’ve got the goods to play with. I guess I’m prepping for what’s to come…fall you’re creeping up faster than I thought.

THE ESSENTIALS // TRUE RELIGION

Style
When it comes down to it, I always have my essentials. It could be a white tee. A leather vest. A newsboy cap. But a good blue jean is way up on my list. This time? I’m going with the perfect INDIGO jean. It has that sexy, sultry vibe. True Religion has perfected this wash of indigo…the deep blue hypnotizing. I love this new fit: the mid-rise VICTORIA, part of their Core Fits. It’s a more modern take on the classic cigarette jean. It’s so effortless and easy, cuffed with a pop from my yellow snake boots. Their Core Fits are inspired by denim disrupt by innovation. They still have their iconic stitching, but they’ve gone NEW and REFINED with a minimalist twist…making them my everyday jean. Best dressed with all of my essentials.
