My boyfriend made my these boots just in time for wild fashion week. He knew I wanted something wicked. Something show-stopping. Something that could have been straight off Mick Jagger’s feet. This blue snake chelsea boot was the best surprise ever. The more I wear them, the more I feel like a badass, ready to kick some serious a** on stage. They were fresh out of the factory…the dusty scent still on them, but I took them out right away for a party the same day. My favorite way to wear them? With all WHITE. A white crocheted blouse…and some white pin-striped jeans. A little roll in the jean, and it’s my go-to look. Who said you can’t still wear white after labor day? The dirty, mean city streets won’t stop me.

Threadsence Fall ’13 Lookbook, shot by Nicole L. Hill

I love you Threadsence, for always making me feel like a real rockstar. I shot their Fall ’13 lookbook out in San Deigo, California, and already, I’m missing our gorgeous shooting locations. A loft fit for a queen, and a wardrobe to match. Mixing and matching of prints, with rock n’ roll layers to boot, I was swooning. I’m excited for a bohemian winter full of fur collars and extra wide bell-bottoms. Here, we shot our story…”Inspiration Never Sleeps” because lord knows, it doesn’t. A girl taking time off to find her own words and make her own music. So funny when the director explained the film…it felt a little too similar to my real life. I had a blast. From twirling in the chair of our sun-lit bedroom, to sipping beers at 10 in the morning, and going up the long staircases of the bar BANGBANG (guitar IN hand), I didn’t want this day to end. I love getting to fly back to California for work..it always feels like home.

Right when I got back to NYC, it’s right smack dab in the middle of New York FASHION WEEK! Running to Lincoln early for shows, all while throwing together a quick look in the morning. Luckily, I have these darling babes to plan the days with, and get a little crazy. Some of my show favorties? Rebecca Taylor, Herve Ledger (shown above), and Tracy Reese (I love colorful clothes and a playlist I can dance in my seat with).  There are still SO many shows I can’t wait to go to this week. Anna Sui, Tory Burch, Saunder, and countless more that I’m hoping time even allows me to attend them all! Ever since I’ve come back home, I’ve kind of been re-living in my vintage part of my closet. The little lace blouse I’d always wear under a band tee. That striped blouse I picked up at a local LA garage sale. Dylana has been surprised to see me this weekend as the “old Natalie” as she says. I love getting to snuggle up into a little bit of my Natalie Off Duty history. Not sure what’s gotten into me…but I can’t seem to step away from my old favorites in a sea of shiny stilettos and new, fresh off the runway looks that no longer grab my attention. Here is Dy and some rad, COOL girls… off the runway.

YOU’RE INVITED!! Excited to have all my closest pals as I host the upcoming ARTISAN DE LUXE store opening event in SOHO! The rock n’ roll, bohemian gypsy is out to play. I’ve got some Janis Joplin fur I’m ready to sport come Tuesday! Invite is HERE:

RSVP to: casey@stardustvisions.com

Feel free to bring guests!! See you tomorrow Tuesday, the 10th!!

So I’ve got a major thing for these new Soludos shoes! Known for their espiradrilles that I wear religiously over the summer, they JUST came out with these amazing lace-ups…with a rubber bottom to wear everyday of the year. I’m obsessed. Oh, it’s pretty rad to be one of the first girls in the city to actually own these “sandshoe” puppies. In white canvas, stripes, floral…I have them in every single shade and I’m not embarrassed hehe! I wear them with everything really. Black skinnies and a band tee, tights and a mini dress in the winter, or mixing prints on prints, I wear these all around the city. I just got back from Seattle for work, and honestly, these are the only things I can sink into right now. They’re my little secret in city-survival. Here I played up the navy blue pair with a green denim jumper dress, and some oversize lace bell-sleeves. With a grey hat, my sister thought I came out of an African safari. I guess I’m okay with that.
