Pretty In Plaid - #StayHomeReady Challenge Day 3

April 22, 2020 Lauren Natalia

Hello hello!

So it’s Day 3 of the #stayhomeready style challenge over on insta (see the first post for more info on it) and I have to say, I have noticed such a difference in how I’ve been feeling!

I was a bit “blah” when I woke up this morning (Ruby didn’t sleep the best… although I’m hoping it’s a one off, she’d had a pretty good run til last night!) but figured I’d take a few extra minutes to do my hair and pop a little makeup on, and it immediately lifted my spirits!

For today’s outfit I threw on this plaid peplum top, navy jeans, and this dusky pink hat and converse when we went out for a walk.

Styling Overalls - #StayHomeReady Challenge Day 2

April 21, 2020 Lauren Natalia

Hello hello!

It’s Day 2 of the #StayHomeReady challenge (created by @iamjoellen) that I’m participating in over on Instagram (see yesterday’s post for more info about it) and today I thought I’d pull on my beloved overalls.

I’m probably sounding like a broken record by now when it comes to talking about my love of overalls, but they really are such a fun and super easy way to make you feel a bit more stylish and like you’ve put a bit of effort in (when you really haven’t). I think it’s to do with the fact that they’re a bit quirky and not something that you see everyone wearing, so they feel quite unique and “fashion-y”.

At Home Outfit Inspiration During Isolation - #StayHomeReady Challenge Day 1

April 20, 2020 Lauren Natalia

Hi friends!

I decided this morning that I’d take part in an Instagram style challenge #stayhomeready by @iamjoellen and figured I would play along on the blog too so I could share a few more of the pics, as well as have it documented here (Instagram is fun but my true love is blogging!)

It’s probably the easiest style challenge out there as the idea is simply to motivate people to still make the effort to get dressed out of their PJ’s or trackies and into normal clothes (and do their makeup if that’s your thing) so that, despite these unusual times when a lot of us are not leaving the house, we can still feel and look good!

A Quick Style Tip To Jazz Up Simple Outfits & My Typical Summer "Mum Uniform"

April 18, 2020 Lauren Natalia

Hello!

For today’s post I’m sharing a super simple tip for jazzing up the typical “mum uniform” of t-shirt and shorts that I’ve been finding myself living in over the past few months!

When it comes to summer dressing, I’m usually all about pretty dresses and fun floral patterns, but since having Ruby I’ve had to adapt my style a little due to the whole breastfeeding situation, as well as the fact that it just seems so much easier to be wearing a pair of shorts that has pockets (I always need somewhere to put my phone and keys when I’m getting bubs out of the car! Anyone else feel that or is it just me?)

While of course there are ways to make dresses work for breastfeeding, on a typical day it’s often just easier to stick with the basic combo of shorts (or jeans) + a t-shirt which I guess is why it’s such a stereotypical “mum look”.

My Style Diary - Playful Weekend “Stay At Home Style”

April 11, 2020 Lauren Natalia

Hello Hello!

I hope everyones having a happy Easter weekend at home!

It’s crazy to think how much has changed compared to this time last year - for us mostly the fact that we have another little person as part of our family, but also of course the pandemic and social distancing situation means we’re not able to celebrate as we usually would!

I was planning on sharing a longer post today about some of the things I’ve been doing to stay positive during these… interesting… times, but this week kind of got away from me, so instead we have another style diary post!
