BumpStyle Floral Fit and Flare Dress.jpg

A quick outfit post today sharing one of my old favourite floral dresses. In these photos the bump is looking rather small and non-existant but these pics were taken at 16 weeks and I definitely had a tummy at this point! In fact the day these were taken I was on my way to buy some maternity jeans because my normal pants were no longer fitting at all!

That’s the beauty of fit and flare dresses when it comes to a baby bump! If you want to hide the fact that you’re pregnant for a little longer, they are perfect because the fullness of the skirt skims over the tummy and means no-one needs to know about your little secret until you tell them. I’m planning on doing a post sharing my tips for hiding a baby bump so look out for that if you’re interested!

How To Look More Put Together and Stylish LaurenNatalia.co

6 easy ways to look more put together and polished when you’re getting dressed!

How is it that some people can just look so effortlessly pulled together, even when they’re just wearing a “jeans and t-shirt” kinda outfit (or something equally as simple and casual)?

After a lot of playing around with my wardrobe and reading a tonne of blogs/watching countless hours of fashion youtube videos over the years (they’re my guilty pleasure, I find them SO relaxing and fun!) I finally feel like I’ve cracked the code!

Now, don’t get me wrong, I am in NO WAY claiming that I look “effortlessly pulled together” all the time (my friends and family will certainly attest to the fact that sometimes (often really) I look like a total slob. That is fine with me - sometimes you just want to be comfortable and practical!

When I do want to quickly pull together a simple, casual and comfy outfit though, that still looks really stylish and pulled together, these are some of the tips and tricks I like to employ.

Dressing Up The Little White Dress

May 12, 2019 Lauren Natalia

Today we’re talking about one of my favourite “wardrobe staples” - the Little White Dress (LWD).

This dress made an appearance on the blog not too long ago (see how I styled it more casually here) , and today I’m sharing an outfit that’s a little more dressed up and night time appropriate. A simple switch of a few accessories can easily take the Little White Dress from day to night (and any occasion in between!) and that’s why it is such a staple, easy to wear and versatile piece that will be a workhorse in your wardrobe!

New To My Wardrobe - Clothing and Accessories Haul

May 5, 2019 Lauren Natalia

I have another video today - this time sharing a clothing and accessories haul featuring pieces from some of my favourite brands such as Sportsgirl, Zimmerman and YCL Jewels.

While I still generally subscribe to a "Capsule Wardrobe" approach, I do of course enjoy adding a few new pieces to my wardrobe every now and then and I always try to be really mindful and make sure the pieces I buy are ones I'm going to love for years to come! (Sounds simple, but in today's consumerist world it's easy to convince ourselves we want something only to tire of it within a few weeks!)

Today I want to introduce you to an Australian jewellery brand - YCL Jewels, that I have fallen head over heels in love with.

I discovered them a couple of years ago and completely adore their beautiful designs, as well as their brand ethos. They’re all about mindful, intentional design and creating responsibly made pieces that you will love and wear for years to come.
Pretty much exactly the kind of thing that I harp on about all the time here on my blog!
