It’s almost moving day! Yep, I’m moving down to the Bowery, by the East Village, and I am beyond excited to start the new year fresh in a brand spankin’ new apartment. I am still not sure how I’m going to decorate it. It may just be a mix of simplicity along with a few killer, vintage pieces thrown into the mix. Definitely a beautiful Persian rug, a place to hang my hats, dainty flowers, and loads of candles. I cannot wait to hang artwork on the walls, and stick up all my polaroids. By the end of the month, my place should feel like home! I’ve already been buying painted bowls, and kitchen things, but really, I’m just thinking of how I will be arranging my closet….and boot collection. We’ll see what I come up with.

For now, you can shop all my must-haves shown here on my Polyvore page!

 “I live for those unexpected adventures. Being able to jump into a new year, and conquer anything. All the craziness makes you a stronger person. Throughout my career, I’ve always just lived in the present moment. The best is to become inspired, and immediately turning that moment in time into something beautiful…a picture, song, or artwork to always remember.” – Natalie Suarez

Never did I think that 2012 could top 2011, and it actually did. Every year seems to top the last and honestly, I feel like pinching myself. And every single year, something completely unexpected has happened in my life, and for the better. Most importantly, I’ve got to share all my wonderful experiences with my family and friends, who have been with my since the beginning, and of course, I am so thankful to have had all of your incredible support through it all! I’m lucky to have such rad readers! So many of my dreams are now reality, and just by doing everything I love, I got to travel the world…from moving from LA into my own apartment in NYC, to exploring all my dream cities, from London, to Paris, to Morocco, to Barbados, and back! Places I never ever thought I’d visit. Oh, and picking up some killer pieces along the way 🙂 This past year has been magical. From shooting for all my favorite brands, to our huge release of THE JETT, to being featured as Bazaar’s “new girl” of the year, I’m just so so happy that I got to jot everything down here, and continue to inspire and be inspired through work and life. I love you guys, I want to wish you all good health and success into the new year!

 I cannot wait to celebrate tonight over good music, and good people. I’ve got a little black, velvet frock that was a gift from my sister, just for this evening. I can’t wait to do a little spin and ring in the new year! 2013, I cannot wait for you to begin!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

With the snow, I’ve finally had time to stay in a little bit this weekend. Dylana was in town, and we spent hours jamming in my apartment, perfecting the songs I’m currently writing for DKNY Fragrances. Two more months till I’m back in studio to record these babies! Even with the sudden chill and crazy wind, that still didn’t really stop us from going out! A quiet, calm day in, turned into a wild night at a burlesque show (talk about wack) along with some of the best margherita pizza in the city. Finally, we were able to just relax down in the village the next morning. Yep, we even made our way to our favorite NYC boutique, Cloak & Dagger…where all of our “Natalie + Dylana x Modern Vice” BENNI and JETT boots are on display in the store window. These babies are our lives, and I’m not quite sure how I’d survive without them. Here I am in the oiled suede Benni, as Dy wears her JETTS like a true hippie…daisy-patched jeans and all!

For now, take a peek inside our Modern Vice x Cloak & Dagger campaign video, featuring everything from our JETTS, BENNI’s, and C&D exclusive, the VINTAGE JETT boot!

Have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I cannot wait to celebrate!
