The Pumpkin Benni

The “Natalie + Dylana Suarez x Modern Vice” pumpkin BENNI boot is one of the most beautiful shoes we’ve ever created in the NYC factory. Finding the perfect, most rich shade of burnt orange was difficult, but we did it. And now, the Benni is perfect! And what better to be released than in October! I’m living in the fuschia here in New York as Dylana is running around Philly in her pumpkin pair! Currently featured on Stylecaster, Elle, and Fashion Indie, it’s true…every girl needs a one-of-a-kind beautiful shoe that kind of smacks you in the face the moment you step outside. The colors just really make me swoon. I just want to take them out on a gloomy day in the countryside, where they’ll really pop. Right now, we’re even making oiled black suede Benni’s in the factory! I’ve been dreaming of this simple, clean boot in all black for the longest time. 
The Benni is now available in fuschia, pumpkin, and black suede on modernvice.com

London Wit

 (Chaser Brand tee, Vintage military jacket, H&M hat, Vintage sunglasses, J Brand jeans, “Natalie + Dylana Suarez x Modern Vice” JETT boots)
London still seems extremely close. Can I go back already? I miss the England chill, that witty attitude, and above all, those super cute accents. I have to say, this was my London uniform, and still, I’m wearing it here in New York. The military jacket, skinnies, and JETTS make for simple perfection. Oh, and a hat. Hats, hats, hats. I just got another one yesterday (it’s becoming a problem.) I’m seriously in love. Anyways, I’ll forever cherish those moments leaning against the red telephone booths with the sister, with not a care in the world, feeling as if I were out of some teenage British novel. I found myself tucked away in a small alley in Chinatown, thinking of reasons not to leave.

The Fuschia BENNI

I am so excited to officially launch the 
Here, I’m shot in our fuschia boot (many more colors to be released soon). For now, you can see Dylana rocking the pumpkin boot, which I’m also secretly super obsessed with. I cannot decide which color I love more. Part of our JETT collection, the Benni is a much simpler version to our everyday flat boot. The laces, the rich suede, and perfect black heel. It’s also the comfiest boot I own. With the BENNI, we wanted to create something that goes with just about anything this fall…tights, skinny jeans, shorts. It’s a purely simple boot with clean lines and a perfect ankle.  After many visits to the Modern Vice NYC factory, we’ve been perfecting this boot for months. We got it just perfect and now, I’m super excited to see our readers not only sporting the JETT, but the BENNI. B-b-b-b-benni and the JETT…heaven.
For now, our fuschia and pumpkin BENNI is available on modernvice.com!
Also, watch the video we filmed along with the song I recorded in studio!
