FURRY CREATURE

(W Concept hat, Forever 21 cardigan/ top/ skirt, Ax + Apple ring, Richer Poorer socks, “Natalie + Dylana Suarez x MODERN VICE” classic JETT boots)
It’s nearing the holidays and already I’m snuggling up in the fuzziest of all in my closet. A perfect plaid cardigan to layer with…and of course, the Russian hat, my newest obsession. Everyone leaning in to constantly feel my sweater. Currently working with Forever 21, and they always bring out that fun, youthful, REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE vibe in me. With some cropped stripes, and mini leather skirt…it’s that laidback, THROW ON AND DON’T LOOK TWICE, look you’ll find me wearing lounging on a chair on my roof on a clear skied day. Or just what I’d wear with a good pair of stockings to the skating rink! Eskimooo style. The very highlight of the week of course was my boyfriend’s HUGE Modern Vice/ Klingbeil skates ice skating HOLIDAY BASH. Never seen so many of my crazies on the ice at Central Park’s Wollman Rink all at once. With performances from top Olympic skaters, I got some killer videos in slow-motion, and of course, a pretty amazing workout! Now we’re all so, so ready for a long weekend…one of birthday parties (and an exciting shoot) before loads of work to jam in before a very much-needed Chrismas getaway. Can you say CABIN FEVER?! Here it goes!

CACTUS CALIFORNIA

It’s on a foggy and grey NYC day that I miss California. It’s sunshine, and hills, and ocean, and cactus, and mountains, and oh, did I mention sunshine?! In the winter, it feels I’m always flying to sunny California for work. As everyone is scared to shoot in the middle of the NYC cold, and migrates somewhere warm and tropical…where tanks and shorts are allowed on set. Here’s a little behind-the- scenes peek at my Somedays Lovin’ fall ’14 campaign, featuring my lovely sister Dylana and boyfriend, Jordan. A park with rows and rows of travel trailors…the glorious Airstreamer, decked out to perfection. Shredded light blue overalls, the perfect ivory sweater dress, and classic pink coat. I can’t wait to show you more from this rad campaign. The rustic setting made everything all the more complete. A bit western, and a whole lot of grunge! My time in California went by fast, straight into Thanksgiving before getting back on a plane. Still, I wish I could spend a good month or so there. A girl needs a vacation every once in a while! During my downtown, I drove down the coast just to overlook Malibu at sunset. The best view you could ever imagine. Always taking my breath away. It looks like I’ll be spending the first time away from home this Christmas.

Stay tuned on my next travel adventures!

EASY RIDER

(W Concept leather jacket, Greylin blouse, J Brand ripped jeans, Richer Pooer socks, Lucky Brand leopard hat, Modern Vice “carly” boots, Hugo Boss handbag, Vanessa Mooney rings, Miriam Salat fringed earrings)
I still can’t believe I haven’t had the time to unpack my suitcase just yet. A bit embarrassing to have my big black bag still only slightly unzipped in my living room. In that case, I spent the weekend living in a 3 year old pair of black ripped skinnies, and a brand spankin’ new leather moto. Such a sweet, sweet gift to come home to! W Concept does everything right! Yep, my latest obsession is this extra thick and heavy EASSSY RIDERRR jacket paired with a giant Southwestern fringed earring. The more rock n’ roll, the better. Still, I’m desperately trying to get back in the swing of the things, when I’m suddenly stuck in holiday mode. The winter cold making me want to hibernate this week, even though I’ve got more work to do than usual…catching up after a long Turkey break. Looks like I’ll be living in this worn-to-death pair of jeans, and hiding under a hat come Friday.
