Thrown Together




More images that have caught my eye recently. Effortlessly threw them together today for inspiration. What matters though, is the perfect mess in these photos. The tangled, straggly hair along with the whole “i’m pissed off and bored but beautiful” look. The artwork and one of the images was found off Sharon Gong’s website (she amazes me every time) and the rest were collected throughout the week while roaming the blog streets with my eyes half closed.

Under the Boardwalk

(Hallelu blouse, H&M skirt and sunglasses, Bally bag, Cole Haan boots)

After a fitting, I spent the rest of my evening on the westside, walking Main street in Santa Monica and the boardwalk of Venice Beach. It was so funny, I got recognized by a girl in a shop on Main street and she asked “why I look so familiar” haha. We ended up sharing stories about all the kooky characters out there in fashion. Hilarious! I love my readers. Overall, it was such a beautiful day to go out, laze around, and grab iced coffee! The weather has been in the 70s, 80s and it’s still the middle of the winter! Super freaky weather, but it feels incredible! Threw on my favorite blouse from my new blog sponsor, Hallelu! All of there pieces are so wearable and fun. I nearly flipped when I saw this top in the mail, only because I have this wild obsession with all things related to horses. Paired this fun printed top with a bandage fitting skirt. Simple and comfortable for an evening out and about!

que me pongo MANGO!






















Here are behind the scenes images of my video shoot for my favorite Spanish brand, MANGO! The video won’t be out till March, but for now I am giving you just a little sneak peek! Everything from the fitting to the actual shoot was a total blast! The MANGO and Hunter & Gatti production team were so amazing and so much fun! They flew in all the way from Barcelona, Spain to shoot both Julie Sarinana of Sincerely Jules (who has become such a great friend of mine) and I in beautiful looks from their Spring 2011 collection. The collection is gorgeous and so fresh. There were a lot of beige, stripes, and pops of color! For the shoot, I picked out a flowing floor length dress in my favorite shade, cream. It’s bohemian yet classic, and just so me! I’m so happy that my sister, Dylana Suarez, had a day off work and was able to attend the shooting at the Nick Metropolis. Thanks to her, I have some amazing behind the scenes shots to remember my day with the incredible MANGO team! It was also awesome to get together again with the cute blogger babe that kept us company throughout the day, Jade Munson (who I previously worked with on a shoot). Gahhh, I cannot wait till the video launches. I even got to sing and play my guitar for MANGO. Such a dream and wonderful opportunity. Stay tuned for more behind the scenes images from our shoot on the MANGO blog, KEEP THE BEAT!! (Muchos besos to Cristian, Cristina, Carolina and everyone else for putting this together!)

Hectic Week Snapshots

(Storets white blazer, Vintage coral blazer, Calista silk tank)

This week has been crazy! Here is just a post of random snapshots taken throughout the week. I’ve constantly been on the go… in between meetings, fittings, and shoots. Because I’ve been so busy, I’ve been leaning towards extreeemely simple looks. Blazers, silky tops, and skinny jeans. Clean, classic lines are my go-to look when there is barely any time to think about what to wear. I have been working on a few amazing projects this past week and I cannot wait to share some behind the scenes images with you! Stay tuned!! Not only have I been enjoying working with so many awesome people, I am LOVING the gorgeous weather we are having. It’s getting really warm and I’m stoked that the weekend is finally here. We are so spoiled here in southern California! Excited to jump into a small Spring dress and keep the coats at home! Just one more fitting tomorrow morning and then I’m free to enjoy my weekend, soaking in the sunshine! Have a great weekend everyone!
