Today is a special day, and not only because it’s my 1 year mark living in NYC, but also because the “Natalie Suarez x Volcom” Fall ’12 collection is finally out in stores! Modeling for Volcom for  the past few years has been such a dream, but getting to create my own clothing line with the brand has been even better. Inspired by my bi-coastal lifestyle, it’s a bit rock n’roll with of course, both a little NYC edge, along with touches of California cool. I wanted some really popping colors for Fall, like this beautiful bright coral. I like classic pieces like a trench, but made it into a flowing hi-low dress. For some reason, it may be my favorite piece. We also started playing with vegan leather to create one hot black, studded suit. I wear it separately all the time, but together, it’s just downright badass. Now, there is definitely a piece for every girl out there.

I cannot wait to see you guys sporting some of my pieces! Take a peek inside our Fall ’12 campaign video. The ad campaign will run out in magazines soon (we just finalized the images shot by Dylana, my favorite photographer ever) so we’ll just have to wait!

We’re celebrating tonight though that’s a fact 🙂

Go on Tour with Prius c by natalieoffduty featuring graphic t shirts

There may be one thing I miss about home life in California…my baby blue Prius. Yep, the thing is still sitting my garage back in sunny LA, and I do miss those long road-trips down the highway with all my friends in the backseat. I’ve always been the driver, and prefer to take control when I hit the road! Take a little peek at another look I sported just the other month back at Coachella. It’s really no surprise that I’ve still got musical festivals on my mind.

Sooo there you have it, what will be in my suitcase on the next trip back to Cali, where the music’s good and living’s easy. Embroidered blouses, rock tees, colorful jeans, worn-in boots, and lots and lots of jewelry. Oh, and can’t forget a killer red lip. Continue to follow me on Polyvore (I really am addicted) and
Enter the Polyvore/Prius c contest to win a 2 day pass to San Francisco’s Outside Land’s Festival in August!

I’m keeping my fingers crossed. I could use some bay area breeze! Now considering trading in my baby Prius for this bad boy 🙂

Good luck everyone!
