Dewy Days


(Free People dress and seamless romper, Ax+ Apple choker, "Dylana + Natalie Suarez x Modern Vice" JETT boots)

Maroon and yellow may just be the best color combo yet. When I laid eyes on this floor length crocheted dress, I knew it was the perfect piece to pair with our yellow Modern Vice JETTS! First time you've seen these bad boy's styled huh? I'm pretty stoked to see how those who purchased their yellow pairs style them too! They certainly brought a little sunshine to the dewy, rainy days of Philadelphia. Dylana snapped these during an early morning walk around an old cemetery...I swear I was the only colorful thing on the whole block. So yep, I now have custom JETTS in black, oxblood, AND yellow. The cherry red is just one pair I drool over when I'm at Dylana's house. Will be spending the evening handwriting notes to all of our JETT girls before our next batch is sent out from the NYC factory. It's going to be gooood. Labor Day Weekend, you're just hours away...

The Cherry JETT

We've created the "Dylana + Natalie Suarez x Modern Vice" JETT boot in cherry red and it's becoming one of my personal favorites! I love seeing such a bright hue when I look down at my feet! Kiltie, buckles, and just the right amount of studs, we've created our dream everyday boot. It really is the shoe I've fantasized wearing on a tour bus, to travel the world in, with just jeans and a tattered tee-shirt. Our handmade-in-NYC-boot came out perfect and I couldn't be happier with these beauties. Now, I'm just stoked for fashion week, and taking my JETTS out and about in NYC and London. I swear the more I wear them, the deeper I fall in love with them. 

Limited edition, the JETT boot is available to purchase in cherry red, burgundy, black, and sunshine yellow!

Girly Intimates

(Free People Intimates skirt and top, PinkLola bracelets)

I guess it's okay only in the summer time to wear intimates out. I'm obsessed with this frilly little Free People Intimates skirt. With oversize rock tanks, I like how the shimmery pleats just peeks out from underneath. Will be wearing this baby under just about every tunic I own, and not just because it brings out my inner girly-girl.

On or Off

Yep, I haven't really had a vacation this summer, but I've made the most of my on/off duty days. Whether it be piggy backing through the city or picking up inspiration at the local thrift stores, my pals and I can spend hours out and about every weekend. I'm forever on a hunt for mini-mini dresses and cool band tees. But being on set in fall wardrobe has got me back into those grungy beanies, nubby sweaters, and long skirts. It's no surprise to find me bouncing around the city after work with big, messy locks. Ahhhhh, New York, you really do rock, but I'm still planning a mini-escape! London and Paris are calling my name this September after fashion week. Flights are booked and I can't wait. Who knows, maybe I'll gain a little accent along the way.

Lovers and Friends

(Rad+ Refined "Lovers and Friends" tunic/dress, Hallelu vintage shorts, Urban backpack, Vanessa Mooney necklace, "Dylana + Natalie Suarez x Modern Vice" JETT boots

I'm a bit too tall for this Lovers and Friend's dress, and so threw on my lightest wash of denim cut-offs to wear it as a tunic. A super sweet surprise gift from Rad+Refined, it's a piece straight out of their latest lookbook I shot back in Chicago. I'm diggin the "barely there" cut-out tanks for long days out  in the heat. My hair's always thrown back in a messy bun and I stuff everything I need for a weekend getaway in a backpack. And of course, I haven't gone anywhere this summer without my JETT boots. Now that they are finally released and for sale, I can now show you how I've been wearing them. We've already got many orders, and so they're here in the factory getting handmade daily. Dy and I are dying to see images of our readers wearing them in their own way! Dressing up these babies in the fall is going to be even better. I can hardly wait. HAPPY WEEKEND!

Taking the JETTS for a Spin// Dylana + Natalie Suarez x Modern Vice

Our classic black JETT Modern Vice boot is a pair I reach to nearly every morning. Even in the summer, I rock a pair of boots! But fall is coming, and it's time to whip out all the JETT colors...I just got a pair of sunshine yellow made for myself. Gotta admit, they came out pretty rad. These are the boots you find yourself re-soling after many years of wear...you love them too much. Treat em right and they'll live on forever! Dylana and I took our happy feet through the lower east side, pairing our JETT's with anything from long flowing maxi's and short vintage mini's. I couldn't be happier with our boot. They're like my babies and I want to live in them forever and ever.

THE JETT Boot// Dylana + Natalie Suarez x MODERN VICE


The Dylana + Natalie Suarez x Modern Vice "JETT" boot is finally here! Made and designed right in the heart of New York City at the Modern Vice facotry with Jensen and Jordan Adoni, we've been tweaking them for months. Now, the boot is PERFECT. Dylana and I have always been on the hunt for the perfect boot, one that is classic but with a twist, that stands out from the pack. The Jett takes everything we love, and has become our dream boot. They keep us going during long days running around the city, to late nights on the dance floor. I'ts a boot that you'll find no one else wearing...and comes in a killer selection of colors. Yep, I'm happy to say we got to make them from scratch. And I get to wear them everyday. They've got a real rock n' roll touch, hence the name, THE JETT. Made of 100% Italian leather, the finest metal detailing and leather sole, along with just the right amount of cushioning, they're a boot you'll keep on wearing forever. Plus, the soles of each get hand-engraved with a little something special just before being sent out. I love our JETT boot. I wear them with just about everything and anything in my closet.
