It’s crazy how much I love the Tommy Hilfiger Collection line. Straight off the runway. The rich hues like emerald greens and bold beautiful plaids feel down-to-earth but scream runway-chic. It’s eclectic. You don’t just get a normal plaid button-down from Tommy. It’s go that extra twist of frill, like an exaggerated hem. This bomber jacket reminds me of a vintage piece I used to have from Norway that I picked up somewhere in LA. Voluminous and mountainous. Today, Tommy Hilfiger feels like easy rock n’ roll that easily goes from the streets of LA to a cabin in the Swiss alps . . . or just for a pit-stop in Chinatown for my favorite boba.

WE ON THE WEST COAST

Thursday, January 15, 2015

Style

I was beeping around from Los Feliz to Malibu in my little Prius like the good old days this past holiday, and it was such an exhilirating break. Can you believe it…bare legs? Funny I’m already thinking of summer. The beach. The sunsets. The bougainvillea. Scouring for sea shells. Paddleboarding. A good tan. The teeny tiny dresses. I’m still sporting my summer favorites, just layering it up. Thank goodness for the Free People’s seamless collection. Their stretchy turtlenecks are the ultimate base when I want to take my favorite summer dress to the winter streets.

And meet the latest addition to my leather jacket collection. The this C/Christ LA biker. It’s extra oversize, badass, and ultra chic. I’ve been living in this badboy.

TIME TO DECORATE

Tuesday, January 13, 2015

Style

This month, I’m totally redecorated my apartment. I’m so excited for a clean new slate. New lamps. New paintings. Rugs. Fluffy pillows. With the new year, I want my home my sanctuary. Right now, it’s super minimal. I’ve got loads of windows and natural light, but have kept things super simple due to loads of traveling and rarely having a second to hit the home department. I steer clear of clutter, but I love unique and stand-out pieces. Handmade dream-catchers, a white fluffy bed, a tufted couch, and candles. ZEN. Take a walk through these amazing living spaces. Clean layouts, with a touch of quirky personality. Luxe but down to the earth. So inspired to take my NYC decor to the next level.

Also, I’m currently looking for artists/ interior designers/ craftsmen who want their work featured in my home and workspace, and of course, photographed here on NATALIE OFF DUTY. Write me a note babes: natalieoffduty@gmail.com

LEATHER BASE

Monday, January 12, 2015

Style

In NYC, you kind of have to master the art of layering. For me, I love having LEATHER as my base before piling on the extras. With a good leather pant, leather glove, and jacket over your sweater…there’s no way wind is getting up in there! By being back in the city, it’s extra hard to avoid being a hermit. You can’t just NOT do anything. There’s always a place to go, a meeting happening downtown, or a friend to catch up with. Thank goodness for indoor markets and the Brooklyn flea. During my off hours, I’m finally getting my apartment back in check. Winter is the best time to get your home feeling extra cozy now isn’t it? LAYER UP.
