A Magical Year!

Natalie Off Duty: About Me
 "I live for those unexpected adventures. Being able to jump into a new year, and conquer anything. All the craziness makes you a stronger person. Throughout my career, I've always just lived in the present moment. The best is to become inspired, and immediately turning that moment in time into something beautiful...a picture, song, or artwork to always remember." - Natalie Suarez

Never did I think that 2012 could top 2011, and it actually did. Every year seems to top the last and honestly, I feel like pinching myself. And every single year, something completely unexpected has happened in my life, and for the better. Most importantly, I've got to share all my wonderful experiences with my family and friends, who have been with my since the beginning, and of course, I am so thankful to have had all of your incredible support through it all! I'm lucky to have such rad readers! So many of my dreams are now reality, and just by doing everything I love, I got to travel the world...from moving from LA into my own apartment in NYC, to exploring all my dream cities, from London, to Paris, to Morocco, to Barbados, and back! Places I never ever thought I'd visit. Oh, and picking up some killer pieces along the way :) This past year has been magical. From shooting for all my favorite brands, to our huge release of THE JETT, to being featured as Bazaar's "new girl" of the year, I'm just so so happy that I got to jot everything down here, and continue to inspire and be inspired through work and life. I love you guys, I want to wish you all good health and success into the new year!

 I cannot wait to celebrate tonight over good music, and good people. I've got a little black, velvet frock that was a gift from my sister, just for this evening. I can't wait to do a little spin and ring in the new year! 2013, I cannot wait for you to begin!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
