Bump Style: The Wrap Dress - A Pregnancy Style Staple

June 8, 2020 Lauren Natalia

Today we’re talking about one of my pregnancy style staples - the wrap dress!

Wrap dresses are a great wardrobe staple anytime, but are particularly fab for when you’re pregnant. One of my pregnancy “essentials” for sure because they are so versatile!

I love them because they can be adapted to fit as your bump grows, they’re not specifically maternity wear so you’ll get a lot of use out of them in “normal” life when you’re not pregnant too, and as a bonus they are also breastfeeding friendly (which is important once bub is out and you realise that all your other dresses are unfortunately not very accommodating for that!!)

If you’re pregnant, feeling nauseous and needing ideas of simple, easy snacks to try that won’t make you more sick, then hopefully this post will be a little helpful!

Obviously everyone is different and I totally get that these suggestions won’t be for everyone, but these are things that helped me to (at least temporarily) ease that awful almost constant nausea that was present through most of the first trimester.

The Lifestyle Diaries - Flashback to Spring & The Perth Upmarket

May 23, 2020 Lauren Natalia

Hello hello :)

I’ve decided to start a new little series on the blog called “The Lifestyle Diaries” as a place to share the myriad of photos I have of the special times we have together as a family, and that don’t really warrant a “My Style Diary” type of post!

Hopefully while I’m documenting these times for myself (and stopping them from getting lost in the depths of my phone!) they can also give you a little inspiration too - whether it be for things to do or places to go!

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!

Flashback To Mother's Day Last Year

May 6, 2020 Lauren Natalia

Hello Hello :)

Just a quick, personal post today. As we’re approaching my first mother’s day I was looking back on these photos from last year, and wanted to share them so they could be recorded on the blog!

It is so crazy how much can change in one year. In these photos I was 21 weeks pregnant and hadn’t even announced the pregnancy yet - only our closest family and friends knew! (See this post if you want to know how I managed to hide that giant tummy! haha)
