WARRIOR WOMAN // 6 Shore Road runway

Style, Travel
I made a super special appearance on the 6 Shore Road runway show during Miami Swim Week! Closing the show, and all smiles down the runway with designer Pooja for the grand finale. I hadn’t walked the runway in YEARS. It was like my 17 year old self again….walking the likes of YSL, Nina Ricci, Marc Jacobs. So many memories. But never have I done SWIM WEEK. I closed the 6 Shore Road show in the gorgeous neon embroidered Tigress Kaftan. Inspired by the warrior women of Nepal, I was decked in gorgeous silver hardware, white henna, a badass nose ring, and extra thick black eyeliner. I absolutely love this type of look. The hair, a twisted braid down the back. Never can I get over her gorgeous prints, and eclectic cut-out swimsuits and coverups. I had the best time playing WARRIOR WOMAN on the catwalk. Who knows when my next runway show will be…maybe NYFW?

DAISY DREAM

Beauty, Style

The new Marc Jacobs perfume is here! DAISY DREAM. “For the Daisy girl who dares to dream.” I am in love with this light and airy scent. And how beautiful is this bottle?! It’s a completely new design, giving the daisy embroidery a lace-like look. So ethereal, and beautiful. Whenever I wear this scent, I think of myself in all white. My most innocent little white lace dress. That, barefoot, my favorite accessories, and sitting in the white sand. It’s a youthful and free look I want to keep forever and ever. The new fragrance captivates delectable top notes of blackberry, fresh grapefruit, and succulent pear. The heart of the scent derives from jasmine, lychee, and blue wisteria. The base is my favorite part. We’re talking white woods, musk, and coconut water. This new bottle is the perfect addition to the rest of my Daisy collection. It’s a more romantic and feminine take on the classic Daisy, and I’m in love.

The fragrance is available in all MJ/ MBMJ boutiques.

Somedays Lovin Fall ’14 CAMPAIGN

Style
The SOMEDAYS LOVIN Fall ’14 ad campaign has officially launched! Dylana and I modeled in this campaign together, and you know it’s going to be a good time when the Suarez SISTAS get together. Shot in our hometown of Los Angeles, we played in a gritty yard full of airstreamers, old run-down cars, cactus, and twinkling night lights. The perfect quirky setup to compliment this TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL collection. We’re talking rock tees, fuzzy sweater dresses, turtlenecks, and soft cozy plaids. That pink coat is on my “must have” list come fall. I’ve always been a huge fan of this Aussie label, and to work with them has been a dream! Some of the coolest things really do come from down under.
It’s true. SOMEDAYS YOU JUST DON’T GIVE A                       .

SHOPSTYLE Travel Hub // BALI

Style, Travel
One of my ULTIMATE summer destinations is BALI, Indonesia. And it’s exciting to share my ltitle inside scoop with ShopStyle’s TRAVEL HUB amongst other tastemakers and designers.


When I travel, I love playing the explorer, and I LOVE to wear tons of print in these hot and humid exotic locations. Bali is just perfect for that. The city has an energy that just makes you feel more calm, more peaceful. It’s the perfect faraway destination. The volcanos, the ancient temples…there’s so much exciting beauty everywhere you turn. Though I stayed in the luxurious town of Nusa Dua…I loved to visit the LOCALS. Ubud, being one of the best places to be. The art, the food, the rice patty fields! 

 WHAT TO WEAR PADDLEBOARDING IN BALI:

The oceans in Bali are serene. The water so blue, and the beaches so calm. I love to paint the beach loads of color by mixing and matching psychedelic prints! I like to go for a super cool rash guard, on top of cheeky bikini bottom. Ecclectic and cool. Then, I pile on the jewelry. The heavy beaded cuffs, the turquoise rings. A bandana headband to keep the hair off my face. And cat eye sunglasses. Who said you can’t be chic in the ocean?


WHAT TO WEAR ON A BIKE RIDE THROUGH UBUD:

I’m a total biking girl, and so I wear just about anything when I’m traveling in exotic cities. It could be a plaid midi dress, a cropped lace blouse, or classic vintage Levi’s. But I always, always play up the shoes. For hot Summer mornings, I go for a platform espadrille sandal . . . for nights, I slip into a classic black chelsea boot. It’s all about the accessories — the chain belt looped through your shorts or hung low on the hips of your dress and the chic oversize sun hat. And a backpack is a must.
