I never thought I’d fall in love with a pink dress so badly. This blush beauty is super mini, and I like it just on it’s own…but of course, with a killer pair of Docs and a pebbled leather backpack. It’s Saturday, and though I’m all for crazily running around the city, finding new places to explore, I always start my day on the roof. I love it up there. Especially on a gloomy day. I can see everything down 2nd Avenue, what’s going on in the East Village, the roofs of the buildings below. The occassional, “OMG what are they doing in their apartment?” I feel more sane when I’m up there. We’re lucky that we have a roof garden and so many lounge chairs…making it my friends favorite place to escape. They beg me to throw a rooftop party sometime this summer. Maybe I will! Here I’m shimmying in my new little frock with nothing but a Diet Coke and swipe of red lipstick. Two things that get me in the Saturday groove. Weekends I’m all for playing with new colors and makeup. Because it’s when I’m not working that I like to step things up. Happy Saturday everyone, get some rest, or get crazy.

Oh, and a little “Be Happy” loving on my arm, as a little reminder for the weekend.

Sorry boy, it’s a girl’s daaaay! God, I don’t know what I’d do without these chickadees. All absolutely crazy in their own way. Dylana, mostly behind the lens, captured these gorgeous shots as we had a Saturday playdate up and down Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Kelsea, forever clutching her film camera in the sunset. I grabbed the reins on Tanya’s adorable little pup, Seymour, and took him for an intense workout from Greenpoint to Williamsburg! I feel like he loved it…eventually getting to finally rest on the patches of grass, taking over the concrete down Bedford Avenue. I kept singing “sudeeeenlyyy Seymooourrr” in a really strange Broadway voice only because it was the main number in a play Dy and I did about 7 years ago hehe! Aww, Seymour, you had one wild day out with the ladies now didn’t you?! Too bad we had to take you home before venturing out to Fort Greene! Brooklyn is just so a wonderful escape on the weekends. There are places where the street can be completely empty, with maybe one biker passing by. A place to finally be able to clear your mind in peace. Rarely do I find that moment in the heart of the crazy East Village, my actual home. And YES YES, with the heat, I’m aaallll about the denim cut-offs. The perfect black pair, paired with a neon jacket and tie-dye tank. Extra chunky Docs made keeping up with Seymour all the more easy…just one clunk-of-a-step behind. The city already smells like summer, and I can’t wait to paint the town in more and more color.

You are invited Brooklyn babes to our Cloak & Dagger BROOKLYN and Modern Vice JETT event featuring our exclusive “Natalie + Dylana Suarez x Modern Vice” JETT styles including the VINTAGE JETT, the OFFICER, the BENNI, and black on black SUMMER JETT (only in stores!) 

Lately, Dylana and I become more and more inspired…with time spent in the factory, continually growing the collection…and we’ve honestly been having way too much fun, playing with new colors, new leathers, and new lasts. All the rock n’ roll boots we’ve only dreamed of wearing. And we have so many new styles, including our brand spankin’ new CHLOE boot on a higher heel, in all colors of the rainbow…and did I mention the CHLOE with harness just hit the shop online? Go get em while you can!  

I’m excited for our night just across the river, at our favorite and adorable cozy boutique, filled with everything vintag inspired and beautiful! There of course will be BOOZE, GIVEAWAYS, and rad rad tunes. I’m excited to finally have the Brooklyn event we’ve been planning, and you’re all invited!

It’s already feeling like summer and I’m so, so excited for COLOR and bright bold lips. Summer in NYC means concerts in the park (can you say Ty Segall on a Thursday night?) and dancing in the grass in nothing but a tiny frock and some western boots. Each day here I live for the night…after work meet-ups with the buds down in the LES, just as the city streets are cooling. Here I’m shot at home in California. I do miss being home for work…2 weeks felt pretty long though! I ended up shooting the C&C California Fall ’13 ad campaign before a bright and early flight back to New YOOOOLK. I spent the rest of my California time at home out in the yard, hidden behind my sunglasses, my face turned up in the sun. Hours feel longer when I’m there, driving around town with the windows rolled down, popscicle in hand. The view isn’t so bad either. Flowers are everywhere. I always say…”LA is all about FLOWER POWER.” There really is some of the most beautiful lush in the Golden State. Summertime baby pink roses bud around the borders of my parent’s home. I’m happy right now that I’m not living out of a suitcase, though I have some killer travel plans coming up in the next month. I’m literally bringing out the passport as we speak! Here’s to summertime fun and neverending inspiration.
