THE DRESS AND THE VILLA – CANNES FILM FESTIVAL

Style, Travel

I am still pinching myself after Cannes Film Festival. The south of France is truly magical. It’s a place I want to revisit and continue exploring. Endless beaches. Gorgeous little towns. Delicious, fresh food you can’t get anywhere else. I will be rolling out many stories with you from my Cannes getaway with Away and Grey Goose within the next few weeks, but I thought I’d share a little quick sneak peek at our stunning villa: Palais Away. Our villa was perched up high in the hills, with insane views of the ocean and the town below, glittering in the night. I found myself thoroughly enjoying the fresh air and buzz of the bees every single morning. I can only imagine how calm and quiet the town must be outside the film festival. Right now, Cannes has instantly been transformed into a Hollywood red carpet. Imagine going from hotel to hotel where everyone is sporting a black tie and dazzling, sparkling gowns. The more glamorous, the better. The gowns I wore were all super special to me and designed by one of my very best friends. Take a peek at this romantic number. A super low back, a full skirt, and sexy scarf hanging down the back. This is a shape that really accentuates the female body, making it swoon-worthy from every single angle and with every turn. It has a vintage touch thanks to the luxurious fabric and beautiful off-white color. It’s a dress that I want to keep in my closet forever and forever, just for the memories and stories behind it. Here I am in a  little hidden spot in the front of the villa. With spring, the property was in full bloom. There was so much green! I felt like I was living out a novel. had officially found my own secret garden.

HOW TO BECOME A MICHAEL KORS KORSVIP

Style

For me, the best thing about being a KORSVIP is getting early access to new arrivals. I wanted to be one of the first to get my hands on this incredible polka-dot suit. I happened to get this white bag and platform shoe to match! I brought it with me on my recent work trip to LA because it’s a showstopper of a look; refined with Michael Kors sophistication. I’m excited to share my love and insight on KORSVIP and how you too can take part!

KORSVIP is a customer’s rewards program. It offers elite services, gifts, and experiences to loyal customers in the US. It’s completely free to join . . . simply download the KORSVIP app or enroll online and in-store. The more you spend and engage with Michael Kors, the more the benefits, status, and rewards! The amazing thing about being a KORSVIP is the free standard shipping in the US, a birthday reward (anxiously awaiting November 3rd!), and an annual member gift! I recently went in to get dressed for an upcoming event and as a KORSVIP, you can too. Think private styling appointments, free gift wrapping, and invites to private in-store events. For a brand that I grew up with and identify NYC style with, I love having this close personal connection with the brand at the touch of my fingertips whether it be discovering a new collection to gathering up points for exclusive event invitations.

Earning points with KORSVIP is extra simple. $1=10 points. Just by signing up you receive 100 points. 50 points when writing a review. 10 points per wishlist item. You receive points just by engaging as a loyal customer. My review on the pantsuit is 5 stars because it’s such a fun look to sport. It’s a suit look I recommend to all my fellow KORSVIP members looking to shake up their wardrobe with more pattern.

THE MODERN BOHEMIAN | HOBO BAGS

Style

You can count on Dylana and I to be in full-on color with fun, luxurious textures, especially back in our hometown of Los Angeles. Think fringe, leather, and tassels. I grew up with the colors of Venice Beach . . . teal blue and bright orange just one of the color combinations that are the norm in this neighborhood by the beach. Not many places make me feel the way Venice Beach does. It’s a place where everywhere is like walking on the sunny side of the street. When I’m in town, my style changes to suit my environment, and that means a lot of eclectic vintage prints! It’s amazing how certain places can rub you in a certain way, and subtly enhance parts of yourself for the better. Thats the California mentality for you . . . it tells you to wear what moves with you.

Dylana and I take 70’s modern bohemian to a whole new level with these iconic styles from Hobo. Their leather bags are soft as velvet and versatile enough to easily compliment even my craziest spring looks. The new modern bohemian is all about taking prints like paisley and zebra and giving it an elevated city feel. Think a fringed skirt with a structured vest + a boho-tinged leather crossbody bag. Or, wide-leg vintage inspired pant and a hot pink leather jacket with a beautifully crafted, black leather backpack. With Hobo, it’s all in the little details, like the whipstitching on the Brio crossbody and bold gold zipper detail on the backpack. Both are so classic in my favorite neutral shades to go with just about any look in any mood that I’m in. I’m always investing in pieces that are season-less and effortless. Dylana and I unconsciously complement each other with our choice of colors and patterns. It’s something people always call out about us. It’s something that just happens. Another thing that is very #SuarezSisters is how heavily classic accessories play a huge role in our getting ready process. We like to base our looks off our bags. Hobo Bags make getting dressing feel very easy. The new collection is a perfect example of accessories laying the foundation for personal style. Each style is a must-have in every modern bohemian’s closet. I see them inspiring everyone to add a touch of bohemian influence to whatever style category they put themselves in. Now let me ask you, how would you wear these Hobo bags?

Rancho Chilamate

Style, Travel

It was a super hot afternoon at Rancho Chilamate in Nicaragua. This intimate Eco Lodge has 4 guest of rooms and a pool…located just a 10 minute horseback ride to the beach. I couldn’t help but stop and admire the ranch’s gorgeous horses as I took them on a little walk around the property. I’ve admired horses forever, and very rarely got close to them. My parents always said that this mystical creature was my spirit animal…and not only because I was long and lean with straight hair down to my bum. We had a black stallion painting in my home growing up and I’d stare at it….admiring it’s strength and beauty. It’s also because I’m born in the Chinese Year of the Horse! In my mind, they represent beauty and the freedom to run with the wind. For this afternoon, I blended in with my surrounding with a full linen look and sun hat. Nicaragua was hot and dry this past month as the rainy season will come in the summer months ahead. But I couldn’t have been happier. I plopped down by the pool with a Toña cerveza and looked up at the blue sky. I didn’t want to be anywhere else.
