My Style Diary - Bumpin’ Around at The Grounds Of Alexandria

July 6, 2019 Lauren Natalia

Hello!

A bit of a combination post today - sharing a few outfit photos and some snaps of the beautiful Grounds of Alexandria in Sydney!

I feel like my bump suddenly grew over night after I announced the news, just before we left for our trip to Sydney (and it’s even bigger now!!) but I’m quite enjoying the challenge of dressing in a new way to flatter my tummy, while still staying true to my own style.

I think the fact that I’ve spent so many years playing around with capsule wardrobes, figuring out my signature style and what I love to wear has really helped me to continue feeling good and enjoy the challenge of dressing my changing shape!
(No “I have nothing to wear” breakdowns have happened just yet! haha)

ASOS Maternity Jeans Try-On and Review Video

June 19, 2019 Lauren Natalia

Today I have an ASOS maternity jeans try-on video and post to share. I ordered three different styles in two sizes (8 and 10) to try and ended up keeping one pair.

I tried the Asos Ridley Jeans, Asos Lisbon Jeans and Bandia styles. Hopefully it will be helpful to those of you who are looking for maternity jeans as I know it can be tricky! The good think about Asos is you can try on a bunch of sizes and they do free returns so I'd definitely recommend trying out a few different styles and sizes to see what works for you!

Throwing it back to the old days of blogging today when things were just much more personal! This is something I wrote back in February and I thought I’d put it up just for the sake of my own memories, as well as to maybe help some other mumma’s-to-be. If you’re not interested in a little ramble about pregnancy and my thoughts, this post probably isn’t for you, but if you are… read on… :)

A flashback to 28th February 2019

So I’m sitting here on the couch at 3:46am drinking a milo because I can’t sleep (even though I’ll be super exhausted tomorrow I know!) and I suddenly had the urge to get my laptop out and start typing.

It’s been ages since I did any early morning blogging and It feels really nice, reminds me of the old blogging days! A lot’s been happening lately and also, not that much has really been going on.

I’m currently 10 and a bit weeks pregnant (obviously I won’t be publishing this post for a while!) and haven’t told anyone yet (except our parents and my best friend) and I feel like I’m just waiting for these next few weeks to be over so I can tell people the big secret and kind of “get on with things!” (and hopefully start feeling better too!)

How To Take A Summer Dress Into Winter and Tips For Curating A Versatile Capsule Wardrobe

June 14, 2019 Lauren Natalia

Today I’m talking about transitioning summer dresses into winter so you can make the most of your wardrobe and continue wearing some of your favourite pieces into the cooler months! As you know, I’m all about building a well-edited wardrobe that is super versatile and can be mixed and matched in many different ways!

I’m featuring one of my most loved dresses that definitely ticks all the boxes when it comes to versatility, (and has appeared many times on the blog because of this) and I’ll be sharing a few tips and style features to look out for when choosing dresses that can make transitioning through the seasons a little easier! Being more intentional and smarter when you’re shopping is where it all begins!

First Trimester Pregnancy Vlogs - Finding Out, Honest Thoughts and Gender Reveal!

June 7, 2019 Lauren Natalia

First Trimester Pregnancy Vlogs Lauren Natalia.co

I have a bonus post today, finally sharing the vlogs I filmed during the first trimester of pregnancy.

There’s 3 videos spanning from 7-13 weeks sharing my thoughts and chatting about everything from finding out I was pregnant, dealing with those rather awful first trimester symptoms (I was basically nauseous constantly), food cravings, the first ultrasounds and finding out the sex of our baby!

I really didn’t know if I’d end up sharing these when I filmed them, as it is obviously a very personal topic, but watching these kind of videos during the early weeks and hearing the experiences of other ladies who were going through a similar thing helped me so much, so I really wanted to put my own videos out there too!

Hopefully it can help some of you who might be feeling a bit blah (because as exciting and happy as the whole pregnancy experience is, getting through those first few months can be pretty tough!)

If pregnancy topics are not your thing, no worries, there’s another fashion post coming your way in the next few days!! (I had no interest in pregnancy related videos until finding out we were having a baby so I totally get it!!!)
