UNPUBLISHED FROM MACEIO, BRAZIL

Style, Travel

// Solid & Striped bikini top and bottom // 

Right now is the perfect time to go through the archives. There are so many moments that still need to make it to NATALIE OFF DUTY and I will be using this weekend to roll them out for you for your daily dose of inspiration. These are from December in Brazil. I was in town for a press trip and campaign with Brazilian Footwear in Maceio. Though we were shooting and working a lot, the team made sure there was plenty of downtime to explore and adventure. I never laughed so hard in my life. We had the best crew! Maceio may just be one of my favorite destinations ever. I was absolutely blown away by it’s natural beauty and I really miss the vibrant energy in Brazil! I loved waking up and immediately feeling the heat, opening my balcony, and having my morning coffee by the ocean. I had my very first, very strong, caipirinha. We barbecued lobsters on our boat on the coast of Barra de Sao Miguel, Alagoas. I floated away, caipirinha in hand, in my inflatable raft without a care in the world. But most of all, I miss this last sunset right here on the busy beaches in the heart of Maceio. This was shot just as our trip was coming to a close. I wanted one more second of the Brazilian lifestyle. A dotted bikini. The sand. The sunset. It’s perfect. I feel so lucky that work has brought me to so many amazing and remote locations all over the world. I can’t wait to do it again.

CENTER STAGE IN CALZEDONIA ITALIAN LEGWEAR

Style

// Calzedonia tights, Illesteva sunglasses, The Significant Other dress, Dannijo earrings, Sandro Paris heels //

I miss running around my other city of Los Angeles, in the hot winter sun, playing in the valley. The freedom! We all need a little more of it. I can’t wait to let my hair down and get moving! These Calzedonia tights immediately put me in party mode. It’s Italian legwear at it’s finest. They take center stage with a tiny little dress and a great pair of heels. Sometimes you don’t need anywhere fancy to go. This is the energy I am so, so ready for.

HEALTHY, PEACHY PINK MAKEUP LOOK

Beauty, Style

// Stine Goya dress // 

I hope everyone is feeling healthy during this crazy time! The city has never been sleepier. We’re all inside our homes, making the most of our day, and following the news by the hour. I’ve been working a lot from home. Luckily, all of Team Suarez lives and works from Dumbo. Dylana and I are neighbors! I’m really just using the time to improve my wellbeing, get more sleep, practice the things that I love like singing, and planning for the future. It’s nice having those extra hours each day to really just dedicate to the things and people you love. Trust me, it’s therapeutic to swap out our sweatpants for a pretty spring dress, and continue to do your makeup each morning. It’s funny how the simple act of putting a minimal amount of makeup can me feel 100% better, more alive, and excited to take on conference calls from my desk. This is a full Em Cosmetics look that takes a little under 5 minutes to create. I call it “Faded Clementine” which happens to also be the name of my lip cloud. Em Cosmetics specializes in these essentials that make me feel pretty even if I’m staying inside all day. 

This is what I used:

Em Cosmetics Illustrative Eyeliner in Black. Lasts all day. Doesn’t smear. Fits in my purse. I never go a day without a flick. 

Em Cosmetics Heaven’s Glow Blush in Magic Hour. This is a peachy-pink that works on just about every skin tone. It’s both a blush, a bit of a bronzer, and a highlighter in one. I use this one on the apples of my cheeks, the tips of my nose, and along my jawline. It immediately makes it look like my skin was kissed by the sun. 

Em Cosmetics Infinite Lip Cloud in Faded Clementine. This lip cloud is both creamy yet finishes off matte. You won’t have any dry lips here! It’s moisturizing and soft!

Em Cosmetics Micro-Fluff Sculpting Brow Cream. I keep this in my bag at all times. A brow cream makes my eyes look away by fluffing my eyebrows up and out. Sometimes, I just use this and a little concealer when I’m running around the neighborhood. This is an essential.

NYC AND LA // MY HOME DECOR WITH ROVE CONCEPTS

Home, Style

NYC. 

You will notice my home decor tastes differ from coast to coast. In my NYC loft, I crave a super clean palette. Everything structured, white, and modern. I like this really simple contrast against my chaotic NYC life. My bedroom is a place of zen! And I don’t like much to distract me when I’m sleeping. A blank slate before bed really helps me unwind. Here in both my NYC and LA homes, you’ll find some really special Rove Concepts pieces that will last me a lifetime. 

In NYC, I wanted something extra simple that went with crisp white sheets and lifted off the ground so I can really take in the my views of the river and Manhattan from the window. The Rove Concepts “Ayda” bed was the perfect fit. I went with it in a King size. I like hopping into a spacious bed that immediately makes me feel like I’m living the suite life in a hotel. I travel so much and sleep is just so important to me. My bed has to be extremely comfortable and roomy, with that fresh hotel feeling.  Complete with the Rove Concepts “Margot” nightstands, it’s a dream. These nightstands are a perfect pair with the Ayda bed. Large enough to hold all of my bedside necessities like my journals and face and body creams. It’s part of my nightly ritual to flick on the lights and just write from bed, complete with a chai tea. 

LA.

In Los Angeles, I like to play with the all the sunlight, giving this brand new space, a lived-in feel. Mixing vintage, second-hand finds like this grandiose lamp against the Rove Concepts “Asher” dresser. Finding this shape in a mid-century modern dresser is hard to come by! Luckily, Rove Concepts has a variety of tall, slim sizes that work well in closet/bedroom spaces. This piece is simple, so well made, and just a stunner. I love the sleek wood with Rove’s iconic brushed copper handles which you’ll find in both my NYC and LA home styles.
