(Erin Fetherston dress, Banana Republic bag)

Gah, I am super exhausted, under the covers in bed, cradling a cup of tea. I’m still in Philly after a long day of shooting, hoping to catch a good night’s rest. In the meantime, I thought I’d reminisce over one night of NYFW that was filled with butterflies, sparkles, and really good company. I attended the Erin Fetherston presentation at Milk Studios, decked out in a super cool lace button-down dress, covered in nothing but butterflies. Designed by Erin herself, this cheeky little number was so unexpected, yet so so cool. I don’t think I’ve worn a butterfly print since middle school, and even then, it was a hit! The presentation was just as stunning. I loved the simplicity in the models. All so neutral, but glowing left and right. My favorite piece may be that strapless nude dress with the messy bun. It all gave off an innocent vibe that’s oh so appealing.

With all my friends in town, we headed downtown to Rubirosa piiizzaarriiaa for a delicious meal with Threadsence, the Cali online shop that I love and adore! See? I even stuck the “I heart Threadsence” pins to my (erms?) to show my support. Anyways, I think we had about 10 different dishes throughout the course of the evening. We all left in giant food comas and still managed to drag our crazy butts over to Williamsburg for a night of dancing. Why? I really don’t know. Let’s just say I was happy to crawl into bed that night and finally sleep!

With a slightly strange hair flip and sharp studded shoulders, I always feel pretty badass. I’m once again sporting my very own “Natalie Suarez for Volcom” studded vest! Like I’ve said before, I can wear this baby with just about anything. I’m a layering freak and so threw it on over my trench coat before dashing out the door. That itty bitty touch of rock n’ roll drives me wild. I was snapped by my sister in Washington Square Park, acting a fool, before bouncing around 5th Avenue with friends. But back on the road I go! Looks like I’ll be away from this beautiful city for another weekend as I’ll be in Philly, on location, shooting my next Volcom design campaign: Holiday ’12! Like our Fall ’12 campaign, it will once again be shot by my lovely sister, Dylana, who always knows how to capture that perfect moment. I can’t wait to get down and dirty in the grungy Philly streets in my pretty holiday designs. NYC, I’ll be back before you know it 🙂

There I am, featured in the latest March ’12 issue of Allure Magazine! It’s still so weird for me to see myself in magazines! I do clearly remember this chilly morning, out shooting by the Standard Hotel in the Meatpacking district. My gorgeous sister, Dylana, was also in town and snapped some fun behind-the scenes shots around the hotel room. Of course, we were acting silly while getting dressed! This girl keeps me sane and always makes me feel at home on any shoot! Munching on croissants, trying to wake up early that morning, we had lots of laughs with the Allure magazine team. They’re the sweetest! My feature in the magazine consisted of styling these super rad floral H&M trousers. Because of the crazy print, I kept everything very easy and simple. A classic sheer button-down is my staple, along with a motorcycle leather jacket and bootie heel. With these pieces at hand, I never have to think when getting dressed. I really do feel that the least over-accessorized looks are my best, and I always just feel more me. Funny, I haven’t even picked up this issue just yet, only seen it online..but I’m getting there, I promise! 🙂
