IMPERFECTION IS BEAUTY

journelle-lingerie-natalie-lim-suarez-3

I always feel most comfortable in my own skin when I’m with my older sister, Dylana. She’s the lady behind the lens for most of my photographs, and of course has starred alongside me for numerous campaigns. I never mind stripping down in a pair of undies for one of her artistic shots. As sisters, we actually have almost identical bodies. Tall, boyish, athletic. I guess you can call it a dancer’s body. Our motto is “imperfection is beauty.” Without imperfections, what would make us all each so special? Imperfections are inspiring. They make your think and see differently. Imperfections should be embraced and celebrated. Who cares if you’re not the girl next door. Growing up, I never looked like anyone in my class. Everything from my cultural background to my height. Not to mention, I had dreams that were larger than life, but with fashion, music, and art, I was able to find myself. Find and unleash what makes you feel beautiful.

PRETTY WITHOUT ALL THE FRILLS

I met the lovely and soft-spoken Georgia Larsen from London, on the set of my Free People October 2010 cover shoot back in the diz-ay. Can you believe how fast time flies? It was the first time any brand used real girls doing their own awesome s**t to model and style a total catalog. So the day of my shoot, I met a few awesome ladies like Georgia, a lingerie designer with long flowing blonde locks and killer bohemian style. Since then, she’s launched the beautifully chic brand, Dora Larsen…consisting of lace-y and feminine (without all the frills) lingerie sets complete with a choker. The choker a finishing touch to any dress you happen to throw on for a wild night out in the city. I totally have a soft spot for epic lingerie and pale pinks and blues. Always wear it for yourself. Love your body, no matter what shape or form. And own it. My boyish body has never felt more feminine.

Intimate with Natori

For me, getting dressed really starts with my lingerie. I’m a sucker for romantic sets. The black lace bra. The floral white lace bodysuit. The silk of my powder pink robe. For spring, I’ve been leaning towards Natori lingerie. It’s classic, fits like a dream, and is just pure luxury. Even if i’m throwing on a loose tank and jeans, I still want my lingerie to feel sexy. So if it happens to peek on the side on my tank, it gives off a little mystery. “Now what was that bra she’s wearing?!” I’m always intrigued by what my friends are leaning towards every season. Sharing what bra we’re wearing is such a girl thing. It’s during the weekends that I like to get up really slowly and stay in my underwear. Sipping on coffee and reading a magazine before jumpstarting into the day. Especially on a rainy NYC day. Lingerie should feel personal and intimate. Lucky for me, I have no neighbors that can peer inside my windows.

Featuring:

Natori Feathers bodysuit in white + Josie Natori Charlize Wrap, in blush.
