City Never Sleeps

Once my little Brits left, one of my very good friends from sunny California made a quick stop in my crazy city as she headed home from Cannes. It’s hard to get a decent amount of sleep when you’re constantly running around, soaking in all the city has to offer. Our way of relaxing was sitting out on my fire escape, in true New York style. I can be out there all day if time allows it! Early mornings were spent flipping through my wardrobe, putting my pals in my clothes, before heading out in the hustle and bustle. Let’s just say I, in particular, couldn’t stay away from band tees, full-on printed pant suits,  and flowing maxi skirts. I already miss all my little visitors…sometimes you just need a bit of home to remind you to keep things real. I’ve got a crazy busy work week coming up and so flipping through these images reminds me why I love this city that never sleeps.

ASTARS Summer Giveaway!

 
Woooo! The weekend is finally here, as is June! May flew by so incredibly fast. It may be due to the fact that I’ve had old friends visiting from all over the world during the past few weeks. It was as if each day flew into the next, with no real rest…always go, go, go. I really do love having fantastic company and showing everyone around the city. My favorite part though was lending my friends my clothes. My closet is totally ridiculous and looks like a hurricane went through it, making it all the more fun to get dressed in the morning. This little ASTARS tank was one piece that everyone in my house wore one day or another. 

It’s time I give away one of these simple ASTARS nude tanks to one lucky reader!

In Stores NOW: “Natalie Suarez x Volcom” Fall ’12 Collection

Today is a special day, and not only because it’s my 1 year mark living in NYC, but also because the “Natalie Suarez x Volcom” Fall ’12 collection is finally out in stores! Modeling for Volcom for  the past few years has been such a dream, but getting to create my own clothing line with the brand has been even better. Inspired by my bi-coastal lifestyle, it’s a bit rock n’roll with of course, both a little NYC edge, along with touches of California cool. I wanted some really popping colors for Fall, like this beautiful bright coral. I like classic pieces like a trench, but made it into a flowing hi-low dress. For some reason, it may be my favorite piece. We also started playing with vegan leather to create one hot black, studded suit. I wear it separately all the time, but together, it’s just downright badass. Now, there is definitely a piece for every girl out there.
I cannot wait to see you guys sporting some of my pieces! Take a peek inside our Fall ’12 campaign video. The ad campaign will run out in magazines soon (we just finalized the images shot by Dylana, my favorite photographer ever) so we’ll just have to wait!

We’re celebrating tonight though that’s a fact 🙂
