(“Natalie Suarez for Volcom” blouse and vegan leather skirt (in stores June ’12), Volcom leopard jacket)

I’m pleased to introduce “Natalie Suarez for Volcom Fall ’12” WOOHOOO! These are just two pieces out of my collection that I’ve been wearing like crazy (the top comes in another colorway too). Though the entire line won’t be in stores around the world until June, I’m allowed to give you readers a sneak preview! For fall, I’m BIG on this gorgeous bright coral color. And for the blouse, I wanted something just super oversized and very, very square. I can wear this daily, it’s that amazing. And the color is definitely a head turner! This vegan leather skirt has to be one of my favorite items out of the whole collection because it’s just so simple, but still super sexy and rock n’ roll. The extra high waist gives my figure some shape! Here I was caught lolling around Abbot Kinney in Venice…you know, with the itsy bitsy spider, and all. I think everywhere I go, I fall in love with certain walls. This one, with it’s splattered yellow paint and cheeky wall art, made it picture perfect. Throughout these next few months, I will be giving more sneak previews of my designs for Volcom even before our lookbook is out, so stay tuned babes!

Looks like The Golden Globes are just around the corner! The other night, I was invited to attend a Golden Globes event to kick off the awards show this week! I brought along my very good friend, Kelli, and I’m so happy she came…we had the best time! At Cecconi’s, a gorgeous restaurant in West Hollywood, it was a whole other world. We ate too many mini bites of pizza and had one too many glasses of champagne. Let’s just say it was one very “Old Hollywood” night. I went with my flapper, vintage inspired Of Two Minds dress. That sheer back is just too amazing! Keeping the look very simple and fresh, I didn’t wear much makeup at all. We danced the night away, went a bit photobooth crazy, and of course spotted some of our favorite tv characters. Nights like these never seem real…

You know Zorro right? Spanish for “fox,”also representing the black-clad, mysterious nobleman making his way through California, defending all the land’s people? This dashing lad may just be my new fashion icon. Snapped on a side street in downtown LA, I think I could at least pass as his female partner in crime. Normally for castings, I stick to the classic jeans and blouse look, but weather was just too amazing and so I decided to slip into this tiny cape dress from one of my newest blog sponsors, Fascue. Stay tuned, as their site will be launching very soon and you, yourself can play Zorro hehe! This piece, paired with a grungy hat I snagged at Urban for $5, and the only pair of boots I brought back with me from NYC (you’ll be seeing these a lot), made me feel as if I were ready to take a trip to some far-away land like Europe…Spain to be exact. But looks like overseas travels will have to wait this month, as I’m stuck in California for another week due to some shoots here. It’s no wonder everyone’s coming out here for shoots in the winter. When you can dart out the door in nothing but a black cape, you know the living’s good.

Btw, I’ve been in a Stones mood all week. Play it baby!

My sister came home for the holidays with this amazing baseball jacket in her bag! Quickly I threw it on and due to it’s perfect fit, she let me have it! I was looking all over on it, trying to find the tag, but because she snagged it at a crazy sample sale in Philadelphia, the brand remains unknown. I’m not one to follow trends, but I have to admit…the whole baseball look is too adorable. It’s tough, but sweet, and reminds me so much of my high school days. I find any sort of old school uniform jacket cute for throwing over anything. Here I went super casual in a simple blouse and a great pair of cut-off denim shorts. Making my way through a local park I used to hang out in after school years ago, I became nostalgic. There are too many memories when I’m home. Looking back now with a completely different mindset makes me realize how simple life was back then! I can’t believe I used to ever worry!
