CIROC NYFW // TROPICAL LUXURY

This season, I’ll be taking you on an adventure this New York Fashion Week with CIROC. I’m so excited to take you through this season’s #TropicalLuxury trends. We’re talking PINEAPPLE, gorgeous pops of colors, prints that bring us to Bali anytime of year, and of course…exotic jewelry. Ciroc Pineapple helps me celebrate life responsiblity, and what I love MOST about the new Ciroc Pineapple is how smooth it is. This subltle and sweet flavour allows me to relive all of my summer moments again and again anyday of the year. 
With NYFW showcasing all S/S ’15 shows, I was blown away with the BOLD hues and happy-go-lucky struts down the catwalk. From MBNYFW to MADE fashion week. I’m giving you the inside scoop.
Take a peek inside my world this week and follow the CIROC Instagram @ciroc as I takeover!

HELLO THERE SWEDEN // Stockholm Fashion Week

Why hello there SWEDEN! I am BEYOND excited to be here in Stockholm for the very first time, covering all the shows for Stockholm Fashion Week. There’s something I just love about the air here in Scandinvia. The air so crisp, even better on a rainy day! It really already feels like fall here, and so I’m already living in a coat and boots. I’ll be covering all the shows with my sister Dylana and VIDEOFYME, an video app here in Sweden that I’ve used for years. They have brilliant filters to make short films, and it’s so easy to cut and paste. I’m a die-hard fan. I’m so excited to re-unite with the team, SWEDISH STYLE.
Speaking of which, I’ve always adored the fashion here in Stockholm. The focus on clean lines, and structured and beautiful quality pieces. They are masters of MINIMALISM. I love how they can make a total statement without the use of prints, but with textures, neutrals, and shapes. My style is absolutely eclectic and I love my wacky prints and bohemian layers, but those simplistic necessities are definitely in my closet. Did I say VEDA?! I packed a ton this time… like this plaid structured coat, and leather pale pink tank. Divine.

Make sure to follow all of my VIDEOFYME videos, and of course, create an account and get started babes. You’ll be hooked.
Now take a peek at yesterday’s show, FILIPPA K. I love discovering these prominent Swedish labels. I was taken to heaven during this presentation. The water fountain, the model’s glows, and knits to wear for a lifetime.

BYE BYE SUMMER CAMP

Now that I look back, our roadtrips out East felt a whole lot like SUMMER CAMP. I always kept the keys to our abode on my wrist, it jingling as I bike down to the ocean. Mosquito bites attacking my ankles on those drunken summer nights, living in a hammock, and becomming one with the caterpillars. You’d easily spot me at the bocce court in the mid-drift exposed rashguard, and my trusty vintage Levi’s (yes, this is my only pair, I couldn’t find a more perfect one). I’m currently enjoying these last few posts of laidback sunshine before the storm of FASHION WEEK. Bring on the crazy outfits everyone! New York City always has me insanely busy, and I’m always dashing around town. There’s always SOMEWHERE I have to be…rarely do I find a moment to just sit back and kick off my shoes. But believe me, I thrive off of craziness. So yes, next up is a flight to SWEDEN. I’m excited to once again put my foot into new territory, use a MAP, and have limited wifi.  It’s going to feel extra refreshing. I can’t wait for you to join me.

#NMWARRIOR CAMPAIGN FILM // NICOLE MILLER

The NICOLE MILLER #NMWarrior campaign is here, and it was so amazing getting to film this campaign with my sister, Dylana Suarez. Sisters just being sisters. 
In between jumping into creeks with our skirts on, and speeding down the gorgeous roads of Connecticut, we had a very adventurous day shooting this campaign. I have fallen madly and deeply in love with the Nicole Miller #NMWarrior collection. It’s inspired by female warriors, strong women, and fearless fashion. The bold prints, killer leather pants, and printed twinsets make for living that fearless lifestyle. Creating your own rules and taking the road less traveled. The feeling that “YOU DON’T HAVE TO WEAR A SUIT TO FEEL STRONG.” Something that Dylana and I both live by. I wear what makes me feel confident. It could be that badass leather jacket, or fitted A-line skirt. 
So how far will you go? Show me your take on fearless fashion by tagging @nicolemillernyc #NMWARRIOR.
