This may have been the best night in NYC to date!! We’re talking dancers, magicians, jewelry by the amazing Andy Lifschutz, and of course the special musical surprises. The whole secret was that I was hitting the stage with the one and only Gambles, aka Matthew Daniel Siskin! We rock n’ rolled to classics by Fleetwood Mac, Cat Stevens, Bob Dylan, and of course, ended our set with some last minute Johnny Cash blues. It’s my first time performing in the city, and for hundreds of people! I went with a floor length Junim tie-dyed dress and necklace, vintage jett boots, and a curly vintage coat from Cloak! All the factory lights were changed to neon orange, the showroom became a disco ball, and I don’t think I’ve seen so many amazing people all in one place. Most importantly, I got to spend it with the ones I love. The Suarez sisters do it again. I don’t know what I’d do without Dylana, she’s my other half! A crazy video of the night and our performances to come!

This giant mustard coat is my new love. The sleeves are a bit too long, the shoulders a bit too wide, but I love heavy, slouchy things in the winter. In between castings, I’m always throwing this baby on over multiple layers. Either I get called a muppet, or people ask to touch it hehe. A striped dress, a plaid shirt, I’m slowly getting in the holiday spirit! I scored this lil baby dress at T.J. Maxx, as part of their holiday SCORE! campaign…so awesome, considering I shot their Spain ad campaign just a few months ago. Talk about rad. I always find some sort of holiday gifts there as well, from candles to incredible things to deck out my apartment. All of the last minute holiday parties decked in tinsel, the smell of the Christmas trees lining the sidewalk…I love this time of year. Plus, we’re banging out new shoe designs at my boyfriend’s factory just before everyone’s off for the holidays! The JETT JODPHUR is a little something I wear when avoiding puddles and keeping the tootsies warm! They’re my pride and joy! Anyways, I’m enjoying these last few days in New York, before I’m back in LA (and San Fran!) for Christmas. It’s going to be wiiiild. Can’t wait to tell you what’s in store this next week…in west coast revelry. 

Behind the Scenes shooting DKNY with Carmen Chan of HIMYS

(Supertrash hat, Free People sweater, Chaser Brand velvet maxi, Junim LA arrow necklace, Vanessa Mooney long necklace, The 2 Bandits cuff, “Natalie + Dylana Suarez x Modern Vice” BENNI boots)

Much of my DKNY shoot was based around my actual life. Whether it be by my bedside at home, or a secret spritz while I’m on the go. In between shots I’d throw on this cozy Free People sweater as we were shooting on a snow day! The knit tassels hang low down the front, and I like to think of it as the gypsy blanket I can take anywhere with me. With a long velvet maxi, I felt most at home. I love giant loose layers, especially in the winter. I can’t wait to show you more images inside my DKNY shoot, for now, I can only show these little behind the scenes snaps, running in and out of my apartment clutching the pureDKNY rose scent.
