hello, bonjour, hola, howdy, hi there, good day

I have never been good at introductions, I usually cop out online and say Hi I'm Natalie and I love the following; fashion, food and family. But since this is about fashion, let me be more specific - I have loved clothes for as long as I can remember. My mum has been very good to me letting me express and wear what I want which I will never forget. She even bought my monthly magazine to fuel me even to act as an allowance, so yes I'm one of those 'types' who say they've been reading Vogue or Elle Girl since they were 12.

I hate for myself (or anyone for that matter) - to put their style into a "type". I am not one to say I'm preppy or girly or even slightly punk. I believe style and fashion to be something F-U-N. I think it is taken too seriously in the days of bloggers getting famous and people striving to be the next Seaofshoes (with all due respect, of course). So keep in mind, I honestly just want to have my friends to read this and if I get randoms and effect one random person, my blog goal will be complete.

Fashion has always been about fun for me, I wear what I love. That is how I describe my style as "lovely". Since well it should make me feel lovely or I won't want to wear it. So this is what I want my esthetic to come across as, a lovely young girl who is having fun with life and her lovely world that surrounds her. Which might not be always fashion because again, you can't take fashion too seriously. Because a life too serious is well, a life not at all.

This is my philosophy and here we have it, welcome to "One of her own". My little escape on the web.
