MANGO recently partnered with a global network of the top fashion bloggers to help push their latest collection, including enlisting LA model Natalie Suarez of Natalie Off Duty. Last Friday, they hosted a party with Marie Claire and Natalie at the store’s Santa Monica location, where she sang and styled friends, fans, and fellow bloggers. I got the skinny on her five favorite pieces, her head-to-toe outfit, and what made the event unforgettable. (Adorable flowy styles, after the jump.)

“I got to meet so many of my fans as well as help them style outfits for spring. Everyone found a piece they really loved that fit their own personal style,” says Natalie. The MANGO film crew also took footage of the model/blogger while she entertained the fans by singing. “It was so much fun, getting to sing for everyone. I had a wonderful night! So unforgettable.”

Natalie’s wearing MANGO from head to toe, including this sheer pintuck blouse combined with a wrap skirt, referenced in her favorites below. She accessorized with these black ankle strap sandals, an asphalt leather handbag, metal cuff, and cluster ring (currently trending in LA).
I asked Natalie to share her five favorites from MANGO’s collection and her common theme seemed to be flowy nudes, which is prominent in their storefront, as well as nautical. Here are her faves: (1) the peach flared wrap skirt she wore to the event; (2) an open-knit dress (3); a navy cotton print, belted skirt with hip pockets; (4) this high-waisted retro pleated skirt and; (5) my personal favorite – a sheer, short sleeved floral shirt.
(In case you forgot, this should help jog your memory…)
If you’re curious in catching Natalie singing at the event, her MANGO video should be on her site in about two weeks.
