Dylana’s floral couches are my favorite things in the entire world. We can sit there all day, talking, laughing. We had just come back from an intense bike ride and so plopped down and played the track I’ve been working on over and over again. I don’t know what I’d do without the girl. Memorial Day weekend, can you come any quicker? I need my Dy fix. 

I’m hitting the recording studio today here in NYC because we have a killer track in the works…. can’t wait to tell you more! I’m stoked to get back to singing again. It was going to happen eventually! Stay tuned as I keep on giving you hints on what I’m working on. Are you excited? I sure am.

My drawers are so overflown with goodies that I had to take a few snapshots of my favorites. Stones, skulls, and beads from Alimonada, Vanessa Mooney, Wanderlust+ Co, and new personal favorite, Thread & Stone, go with me everywhere.. clinking against my clothes and disappearing beneath my bed. I feel like a warrior with all this stuff, but I can’t help it, I’m obsessed. Also recently added an assortment of candles to my apartment along with a killer handmade mini red bag by the folks at Frank Clegg in Massachusetts, just for me (thanks Frank!) These little things make my house one big treasure trove.

Yep, yep, the “Natalie Suarez x Volcom” skirt is already making it’s rounds on magazine stands (gahhh, it’s still so weird for me so say that!) This deep orange beauty hits stores this June, worldwide (!!!) and I can’t hardly wait! For now, take a little peek inside the latest NYLON May ’12 issue and read my full-page story. The feature kind of gives you a little sneak peek into how my Volcom Fall ’12 collection came about and why rock n’ roll just happens to be a huge part of it. My life’s been a bit nuts recently and I think everyday I start to dress a little bit more weird. I paired my skirt with a polka dot crop top, a multi-colored leather jacket, baby clogs, and a gorgeous ivory handbag by friend/designer, Emily Cho! Not only am I designing for Volcom and currently coming up with some sweet plans for Volcom for all of 2013, I’ve got another killer design project up my sleeves. More on that later…but somehow all this stuff is just more fun than anything I’ve ever done. It’s a lot more work, but I totally dig it 🙂
