Only now do I find a love for all things personalized. From the little “NLS” on my new Chloé bag and the NATALIE OFF DUTY embroidered onto the side of my fire red Marskinryyppy pumps. There are some days I want to go a little over the top. Perfect kitten heel pumps? Check. Statement earrings? Check. Handbag to die over? Check. With that, I always go with pops of red. Here I’m mixing in some of my key winter pieces. A deliciously soft cashmere Lie Sang Bong coat I picked up at their Meatpacking boutique and luxe leather trousers sent over by the lovely Marissa Webb. These gorgeous oversize earrings also special, handmade by my very good friend, Sabrina SL. She came over with her adorable newborn baby, Hazel, for a little improvised photoshoot in my home. We’re talking eating Caption Crunch and playing around in my kitchen as the camera flashed, baby on her hip! HerShe then surprised me with these luxurious, warrior-woman earrings and I haven’t stopped wearing them since. They are like a little work of art I get to take with me everywhere I go. My favorite pieces are the ones that remind me of the people I love, the places I’ve been, and the new friends I make along the way. This look comes full circle when it comes to bringing together people and designers I absolutely love and admire! I’m keeping it quick today as I have a million things to do before I head to the airport. Chat soon my loves.

There are some people you meet and you can’t help but love, and you just click, immediately become friends. That’s how I feel about Sabrina Sun, jewelry designer of Sabrina SL. I met this lovely wife, mother, and amazing woman thanks to my sister Dylana, and every single day, I wear a piece of her jewelry. I like to call her my sister and my mom (a younger version of course!) Everytime we shoot, she comes bearing bouquets of flowers, always putting a smile on my face. This yellow rose really brightening up my morning and awakening my senses. I like pairing something so delicate as a rose, with this oversize, heavy choker: the Organic Shield Choker. It’s equally just as beautiful, but has major tough-girl vibes. Made for a queen. A queen with a strong heart of armor. Paired with a glamourous backless dress torn to shreds. Her handlets, rings, and bracelets are simple, elegant, and badass, all at the same time. I can’t get enough!
