Here are a few outtakes from a recent campaign for Armani Beauty’s Code Colonia fragrance in Montauk, New York. It’s a scent that’s meant to be shared. What’s better than having a scent you and your lover can always come back to? For me, this one reminds me of romantic summer getaways together, from St. Martin to Ditch Plains. Here at Gurney’s Seawater Resort in Montauk, my bedsheets were as crisp and white as my favorite power suit…the perfect compliment to this fresh morning fragrance. We had some sunny days and some cloudy days, but each, equally relaxing with days spent in the indoor pool and nights by the fireplace. May the last weekend of summer and fresh whites-on-whites, live on.

This Labor Day for me is about playing catch up, as I have so many deadlines coming up pre-fashion week! Team Suarez is in the midst of so much craziness, we can’t really take the day off. But it’ll all be worth it once we hop on that plane for a quick getaway to Mexico City. Only 10 days. Yes, I’m counting down and not letting summer just slip through my fingers. I hope some of you are getting in those last bits of fun in the sun on this holiday weekend?! I sure may be out here in Manhattan today, but mentally, I’m back in the roman bath here at Gurney’s, bundled in a crisp robe. It’s by far my favorite resort in Montauk…you must visit! For now, it’ll be hard for me to hang up this absolutely perfect white power suit, but it has to be done. Until next year.
