The nano bag is back and I love how FENDI is all about the miniature handbag. Best for spontaneous days when all you need is a red lipstick and your keys.

This is definitely going to be a colorful Christmas! The Fendi winter capsule is eclectic, fun, and has a dash of sparkle. I am going to use the last few days of the holiday to get dressed up with the iconic Fendi Peekaboo by my side.

I love a head-to-toe Fendi runway moment. I’m so happy to have these iconic pieces in my closet to be worn so many ways. I love mixing something so structured like this soft wool coat with something so sheer and delicate underneath. It’s all about a beautiful contrast this season.

I love a small bag for a neon night out, and the Fendi O’Lock Swing bag happens to be a new favorite. I paired it with a look fresh off the Fendi Autumn/Winter 2022 collection. An incredible suit really never goes out of style and this little guy will always be tucked under my arm this season. Finish the look off with a luxurious pair of cashmere gloves.

To celebrate the Fendi Fall/Winter 2022 runway show, I wore a look straight off the runway. This campaign is all about smiles, joy, and my favorite accessory…the Peekaboo. This timeless handbag is playful and always gets me in a good mood. Fashion week may be over, but not over here. I’m always finding a reason to wear a smile.

The new Fendi First handbag happens to be the bag of the moment. I love it’s super sleek design in beautiful soft colors. It’s a bag that seems to go with just about everything. I wore this head-to-toe Fendi look to the 57th street store opening this past month here in NYC. This was the ideal look for the evening complete with a glass of bubbles.

I will be living in stockings and Fendi slippers all winter long. Who are you giving a little cozy and a little luxury to this holiday? I want to slip a pair under the tree for my mom and sister.

Fendi may be one of my favorite designer labels to work with. From our trips to Milan to sit front row at their shows, to visiting the Roma headquarters for their Timepieces collection launch, I really do savor all the incredible memories I have with the brand! Very, very chic memories of course! I gave their Fendi Pre-Fall 2020 collection my own touch alongside the brilliant PEEKABOO handbag. The PEEKABOO is iconic. I can spot it a mile away, and of course, it’s a true standout in this rich blue shade. F is for Fendi.

Buon giorno! Visiting the Fendi Roma headquarters for the first time is something I will always remember. The moment I hopped out of the car, the view took my breath away. I stared up at gorgeous stone stairs leading up to the front doors. Giant windows at the ground level gave view to blue skies and the city, while Roman statues casted dramatic shadows down the halls. The place is just absolutely gorgeous. Clean, minimal, and totally elegant. So Italian. So grand. It was picture perfect. I was in town for the very exciting launch of Forever Fendi, new watch in their timepieces collection that is launching very soon. Press, media, and celebrities (yep, I saw Nicki Minaj making her way in) attended this very special and exclusive presentation to give you the first look! I am here wearing the sterling silver Forever Fendi piece with a dark watch face. I find it to be the most classic combination. Its delicate band seems to resemble a bracelet, yet it stills feels tough enough to wear on your wrist to an important business meeting. It’s both feminine and masculine and that’s what I love about it. If you look closely you’ll see the signature F’s for Fendi made into the band. The Forever Fendi piece feels like a vintage, but with an updated, luxurious look. It’s my new everyday piece that I can layer with my other favorite jewels. 

In the images below, you’ll find me having way too much fun sashaying up and down the Fendi Roma corridors. I couldn’t help but soak it all in. Following the presentation, the team and I did as the Romans do. We visited the romantic Trevi Fountain in the hustle and bustle of the city center, and even made our way up to the private suites above the Fendi storefront. There we looked at sketches from Karl Lagerfeld found through the decades. and even got a private tour of a massive suite, a place to host friends of house, painted in my favorite shade of blue. I think just staring at the architecture and design elements in Rome is the best part. The way the Romans use marble and stone is absolutely breathtaking. Italian design and craftsmanship goes beyond anything I’ve ever seen. There are so many amazing shapes and color palettes and new forms of art to discover. Italy, you continue to bring me back and inspire me time and time again. This trip was special. Not only were we the first to discover Fendi’s newest and latest in timepieces, we got to take a bite out of Fendi history. And that is something I’ll always remember.

I am back from a whirlwind of European travels. My jetlag was so rough over this weekend, but now I am finally 100%. It feels good to back to regular NYC programming with Team Suarez. But the suitcase is there in my house, looking at me, reminding me and calling me to pack because there is somewhere else to be and very soon. There is so much to share with you so I’ll be quick! My first stop happened to be in Rome with the lovely Fendi team for a super exciting and exclusive timepieces launch. You’ll see a little sneak peek here on my wrist. Ooo la, la! But I first want to bask with you in the Roman sunlight this very early morning at the Colosseum. It’s not very often that work brings me to Rome, and it’s a must to visit this absolutely legendary piece of history. It’s grand. It’s iconic. There is nothing like it. You just stop and stare, wondering about all of the stories and secrets this place holds. I got there early, nearly 7am, to see it bare, raw, and on the sunny side of the street. I did as the Italians do and slipped on a decadent, and I do mean a little over the top look for this very early morning. These two pieces are two perfect transition pieces as the weather warms up: a classic thigh high slouchy boot and mens blazer. Oh, and my Fendi bag of course.
