Here I am, running late into the sunset, off to claim my seat at Anna Sui’s NYFW show this season…in nothing but Anna, of course. This is my dream evening look. So unique. So rock n’ roll. A glamorous gold lamé twin set (a fabric Anna Sui uses in almost every collection) adorned with plush velvet roses. The way the metallic glistens in the sun and the way the skirt moves with every step is magic. The sleeves became my wings for the evening. Anna Sui, I worship you! Thank you for taking me into another world and another time with every extraordinary design. Take a little front row peek at the Anna Sui S/S ’18. We’re talking peace and love, to the max. Her stars and moons and florals are a burst of color from a new world. Complete with folk music and daisy face paint. I like to dream in her clothes and escape. I start to play characters and new roles whenever I’m in her clothes. In this gold ensemble, I’m mentally dancing in a jazz cafe on a perfect NYC night in the 1920’s.

I have so much from fashion month to catch you up on….like all of the un-featured looks and in-flight skincare routines. In reality, my sparkling dresses need a little break…I am so ready to live in PJ’s for an entire month. Not really, but you know what I mean. I went from Milan Fashion Week to the English countryside for a shoot, LA for the annual Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic, and now I’m sitting bed at midnight typing away from the Nobu Shoreditch Hotel in Shoreditch. Jetlag much?! But I can’t stop smiling. This season has been incredibly memorable so far. With very little sleep, Team Suarez certainly lived it up and killed it. I’m very ready for a proper and humble fall back home in New York City with my family and friends. Halloween and Thanksgiving will be here before we know it.
