A LITTLE STRUCTURE

It’s amazing how many ways I can style this metallic skirt. It’s been my summer go-to. Here, I gave it a little structure. An asymmetrical off-shoulder blouse and new everyday bag by X. Nihilo. Shapes and edges that flow and compliment one another. Speaking of structure, it feels amazing to finally spend some quality time back home in NYC. Sweltering July travels, buzzing around the world, working on location, has transitioned into a grounded beginning-of-August in NYC. My family is in town, meaning things have been madness in Casa Natalie juggling both work and family time, but I love it. August is my time to re-focus, plan, and strategize for what’s to come in fall.

FRENCH/DUTCH | ST MAARTEN

I am excited to take you down St. Maarten memory lane. It was such an incredible getaway. Just my boyfriend, a 35mm lens, a car, and a whole island to explore in one week. We stayed along Cupecoy Beach…and I rank it by far the best beach on the island. Imagine crystal clear, calm and steady, turquoise water. Gorgeous white butterflies, fluttering their wings everywhere you turn. St. Maarten is part French and part Dutch. We stayed on the beaches of the Dutch side, where we indulged in fresh seafood and hours of swimming under the hot Caribbean sun. I tried snails for the first time..and liked it. Can you believe it? There’s an elegance to the island which I really love. The beaches. The hotels. The restaurants. I can’t wait to show you more. You get a real European summer feel with just a 3.5 hour flight away from NYC.

LONDON BY FOOT WITH DSW

It seems that with every adventure and every memory, comes a pair of shoes. The quirky pops of bright and blush pink in Notting Hill? I am immediately reminded of why I packed my Reebok sneakers from DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse with me. The bustling corners of Chinatown on a Saturday night? My Tahari black mules…great for dim sum and some late night dancing next door in Soho. DSW has proven to be a leading shoe shopping destination for me. Not only can I find amazing and fun sneakers every season, but I can also find absolutely stunning and classic feminine staples, like a fantastic pair of heels, all in one click. My eclectic style is always craving something new and so having a go-to shoe store with unlimited options is so necessary for this shoe lover.
