Fringe Shake

(Nicole Miller dress, Romwe sunglasses, Vintage Chanel bag, Black Water Moon “rise above” ring, Vanessa Mooney rings, “Natalie + Dylana Suarez x Modern Vice” JETT PRESLEY BOOTS//coming soon)

Just before fashion week the boy came home with a little surprise! We’ve been thinking fringe for the longest time, and voillaaaa, the JETT with some western stitching and fringeeee. The moment I got it, I couldn’t stop holding the boot and shaking it with my hand. Talk about one rock n’ roll shoe, bright enough to battle the snow’s rays. We were thinking ELVIS, and so yep, it’s now the new Modern Vice “JETT” Preseley boot, coming soon after many tweaks! Dylana’s got a black pair I’m swooning over, but I went the other route, and had a royal blue pair handmade. Paired alongside a teeny tiny Nicole Miller frock, fresh off the runway, and extra round sunglasses. I’m a sucker for wearing a ton of colors at once. Remember that round sunglass kick I went on around fashion week? Yep, my drawer now has about 5 of them, and I can’t get enough. Anyways, all I have on my mind are SHOES, summer, and yikes, still got loads of travel trip planning ahead. I’m ready to take these booties into Spring with long bohemian maxis, and tailored pants. Elvis would approve.

New Ground

I’m excited for a lot of things come Spring. Already, it looks like I’ll be traveling for work in the next two months, and to cities I’ve never been to! I’m so so ready to explore! New York, you’re still kinda chilly, and I’m dying for some sun. I’m already out scouring some new Spring pieces to take with me on my journeys. From festival to festival, from east to west, I want to visit every corner of this world. And of course, with a suitcase to paint the town in. We’re talking lots of COLOR. Tie-dye, florals, shaggy coats, paislees, all topped off with some killer cowboy hats, boots, and badass silver/gold jewels. I’m sure by the end of my travels, my wrists will be stacked with bracelets and wristbands picked up on the road. I’m ready to stomp over all this new ground! Stay tuned for my upcoming journeys.

Lifting in the Wind

(ASOS “chambray” dress, True Religion leather jacket, Vanessa Mooney necklace, Vintage blouse, “Natalie + Dylana Suarez x Modern Vice” VINTAGE BENNI)
I’m up a bit earlier than normal…yep, I’ve got to rush to the factory. There’s a high school fieldtrip going on, and this, I can’t miss! Talk about fun! I love when when the boyfriend gives the grand tours! Of course by now, I know the place inside and out. Shoes here, lasts there, machines that-a way. Anyways, for work and running around in the rain, I’m not quite sure what I should wear anymore. Docs that allow me to jump in puddles, and some black skinny jeans have become my go-to in not so happy weather. Luckily, the weekend had one beautiful day. It was a day to jump around in a teeny tiny babydoll dress and leather jacket and feel completely at ease. This baby is ASOS, and as part of their #justifyyourlove campaign, I’m styling it out as many ways as possible come Spring! It’s so small, it just lifts in the wind!! Anyways, this week is full of early call-times, all leading to one weekend to finally plop down on the couch. It’s only Wednesday baby!

Fog Creature

The best kind of days are when it’s so foggy out you can barely see in front of you, there’s a touch of rain, and you can run wherever you want, all while getting a bit of dirt on your boots. It’s crazy how much my short visit to Philadelphia suddenly felt like I was back in London…or off in the English countryside. I long to go back! Dylana and I slipped between the fences of this deserted, old field, and that was before the rain came down and we were all of a sudden, running through mud! Once I did get inside, my boots needed some major cleaning. For me, it’s necessary to have a short weekend out of the city with friends, to act like the crazy girls that we are. I packed light…well, sort of. A cardigan, a denim button-down, and of course, this rad Bellerose coat from Germany…a brand I just recently discovered. When it’s this cold, I prefer to button everything up to the top! Anyways, it’s not even 8am and I’m playing The Clash and making french press. Happy, happy Monday from NYC!

By the way, make sure to stop by East Village’s cutest store ever, Cloak & Dagger, and you can finally get your hands on our “Natalie + Dylana Suarez x Modern Vice” JETT bag! This tasseled beauty is always by my side now that I finally don’t have to borrow our samples! Wahoo!
