REBECCA TAYLOR | THINKING SPRING

// Rebecca Taylor blazer and skirt, Benedetta Bruzziches bag, Dear Frances boots // 

These are outtakes from a lovely story we shot for Rebecca Taylor’s Le Journal, featuring the Tailored Spring 2020 collection. We sat down with the team to discuss everything from how we style up a suit to what defines a successful woman. To me, a successful woman is intuitive and always believes in herself. She makes bold decisions. She keeps her chin up no matter what and sees the good in every situation. She also likes to take on challenges, all of which create growth in all aspects of her life. Success is certainly a mindset. It’s about feeling comfortable, happy, and proud of who you are in any given moment of time. 

I can always counts on a powerful ensemble from Rebecca Taylor to challenge myself to look inward, and feel amazing every single day. I love this story!

HOME PORTRAITS

// Dannijo earrings, Kate Spade tweed topper /

A few portraits taken in my home this week after a long work day with Team Suarez. Find a reason to put on a pretty pair of earrings and your most elegant knit. I promise, you will feel amazing and inspired. I’ll be here, doing as much as I can during this time at home, while dreaming of how I will live life once things begin to feel a bit more normal. I hope our new normal is more conscious and thoughtful. This slower pace has brought me a peace of mind. I have never been home in one place for so long. I’m usually out traveling. I’m usually running from meeting to meeting. I feel lucky to be safe while there is still so much uncertainty in our world’s future. I’m using this time to live in the moment and do more of what brings me joy. I’ve been singing. I’ve been dancing. I really have reconnected to things that are so close to my heart and to my soul. I finally get to have long phone calls and Facetimes with dear friends and loved ones, just because. It’s amazing how now, with our isolation, I have found a real sense of togetherness with everything around me. 

KEEP THINGS BRIGHT

It is amazing what color has been doing for my mood right now. I just want more sun. I want more vibrancy. Putting on a pink neon suit along with pops of orange and yellow immediately brings me happiness and gets me going as I work from home. For a quick breath of fresh air, you’ll find me on the rooftop, soaking in every ounce of happy blue sky. Keep things bright everyone! 

H&M CONSCIOUS EXCLUSIVE | A NOTE ON SUSTAINABILITY

// H&M Conscious Exclusive collection dress, scarf, earrings, sunglasses, and sandals // 

Carbon emissions from our individual actions have already been reduced due to our current circumstances. We need to take this as an example on how we can make a huge impact with our daily choices by seeing how the world is affected when we limit our footprint. If we each start living more sustainably, we can drastically improve the wellbeing of our planet. The H&M Conscious Exclusive collection focuses on pieces created from leftover stock fabrics from previous collections, and they are using a new, sustainable way of processing materials. My sandals happen to be vegea, created from discarded grape skins, stalks and seeds made into an alternative type of material that is much better for Mother Earth. It’s times like these that we really can reinvent the way we live, by using what we already have. During this time at home, I am taking shorter showers, recycling, turning off lights that don’t need to be used, buying only what I really need, and using non-toxic products around my house. This wake up call is something I’m really using to learn and grow from so I can do my part in helping bring our planet back to a better place for us all.

This stunning collection is glamorous, inspired by Le Train Bleu, the elegant train in France from the 1920’s. I have fallen in love with this blue mosaic print and I hope you love it as much as I do!
