My Style Diary - A Bright Summer Dress To Lift The Spirits, Honest Thoughts and A Reminder To Do Something For Yourself This Weekend

December 18, 2020 Lauren Natalia

Hello hello and happy Saturday!

Sharing this summery outfit today which is kind of funny because as I’m sitting typing this it’s actually pouring with rain and we seem to have reverted back to winter here in Perth!

Ah well - the warm weather will be with us soon enough.

I’m very much looking forward to getting a chance to wear my summer dresses soon as I didn’t really get a chance to last year (dresses sadly aren’t very breastfeeding friendly!)

Here’s one of my favourites that you will recognise if you’ve been a long time blog reader. It’s my super bright “feel good” dress that I’ve had for years and that is perfect to throw on whenever I need a pep up! Something small to lift my spirits when things are feeling overwhelming or just too much - it’s hard to feel bad when you’re wearing such a pretty, fun dress (and the gorgeous summery weather helps too)

On this particular day it was super hot and we were going for a walk so I threw on this pink linen shirt and my straw hat for a little sun protection, and I really like how it all looks together! Just goes to show, no matter how old a piece is you can always find fun new ways to style it that will make it feel fresh and new!

Boho Vibes - Styling My Favourite Spell Dress & Why It’s Smart To Consider Cost-Per-Wear When Shopping

October 22, 2020 Lauren Natalia

Hello!!

Wow, it’s been a while since my last post! Life has been a bit of a whirlwind again with getting back to work (after just over a year of maternity leave!) and with all the changes I really just needed to focus on getting through the days, so blogging has unfortunately taken a back seat!

I’ll probably write a post at some stage sharing my tips for easing back into work after a baby (let me know if that would be something you’re interested in), because it can be such a big (and emotional) step - it was for me at least - but for today, I thought I’d share a Style Diary post! Figured I would ease back into blogging with something light and fun - which is just how this outfit made me feel!

Mama and Mini Style: Co-ordinating in White, Blue and Grey (and a reminder to never compare Your Motherhood Experience!)

September 19, 2020 Lauren Natalia

Today I have another “Mama and Mini” Style Diary to share with you - not matching this time but definitely a co-ordinated one!

This adorable little pinafore was one of the first pieces I bought for Ruby and she finally fits into it! To be honest, she’s probably fit it for a while, but I’ve learnt since having a baby that the clothes that get the most wear tend to be the super comfy ones - trackies, leggings etc, so her special outfits don’t actually get a whole lot of use!

Navy Jumpsuit- A Wardrobe Staple Styled Three Ways

May 16, 2020 Lauren Natalia

I’m back today sharing 3 ways of styling one of my fave versatile wardrobe staples - the jumpsuit!

While a jumpsuit may not be the first piece that springs to mind when it comes to wardrobe must-haves, I’ve found that for me and my style, jumpsuits are just a super easy “one and done” piece that can be worn in so many different ways and are perfect for almost any occasion! They’re easy to throw on (like a dress there’s no need to find something to match it with!) and have that relaxed, cool vibe to them. At the same time a jumpsuit can still be easily dressed up for a more fancy look!

I feel like I write the same thing over and over again when I talk about wardrobe staples, but I guess that’s what it’s all about - easy pieces that can be transformed for any occasion!

This one from French Connection (which is still available and currently on sale!) is so comfy and got bonus points because the ribbed bodice makes it breastfeeding friendly too - something that was a very important factor for me this past summer!

Pink & Denim (again!) #StayHomeReady Style Challenge Day 7

April 26, 2020 Lauren Natalia

Hi friends!

It’s the seventh and final day of the #StayHomeReady style challenge (see this post if you’ve missed what it’s about) and today I’m back in my trusty combo of blue denim and pink, but today instead of overalls it’s my comfy boyfriend style jeans and a light knit top.

Autumn is upon us and I have to say even though I’m usually such a summer lover I really have been enjoying the cooler days.
