I have been so ready for this year as 2023 was such a mixture of highs and low. 2024 has been on my mind for months now and now that’s it’s finally here I’m able to refresh my brain, body and soul. I haven’t posted in a hot minute because I took the last week and first week of the new year to completely detox and enjoy my travel and ended up on another trip to Thailand for my birthday. I always find that taking some space from the internet is super inspiring as it pushes me to get back into a mindset where I feel creative.
I have so much to update you on but first and foremost THANK YOU. Thank you for continuously supporting me on my journey here. Without all of you, I wouldn’t have the opportunities that I have to create. Creativity is essential to my well-being and this blog has become my main platform for it.
Some changes I’ll be making this year on the blog and on other social media platforms include: More beauty and fashion posts, YouTube videos and of course, a section on mental health. Mental health is essential to our well-being so I’ll dedicate some posts sharing some personal stories as well as tools to help maximize our well-being.
With that being said, now onto our scheduled programming. Marley and I have been super inspired lately to share our visions with you all. This look in particular has to be one of my favorites of the new year as it truly captures my passion for all things Sci-Fi but in a fashionable way.
For those who don’t know, I’m a total Star Wars nerd and even named most my electronics after characters from the films. Nerd? Yes I am.
This top from Ego Soleil is so space-cadet with the mock-neck top, high-low cut and galactic shimmer. When I saw it, I instantly had to wear it. I paired it with a simple black trouser and funky sunglasses to keep the whole look full of inspiration. I also went with a high pony and super bold lip to keep it fresh.
One of the most reoccurring trends for the autumn seasons has been some form of seventies fashion revivals. I am all for this. The fashion of the seventies entices me so much as it mixed with so much boho and lots of edgy statement pieces. The most iconic statement pieces of seventies fashion trends would include wide/darted trousers and loose yet structured jackets. The look for todays outfit of the day is influenced strictly by those two items that everyone us covets.
A great darted trouser can be hard to style, I usually love pairing these kinds of pants with a belt, but for today’s look, I ditched it. I wore a cream knitted crop top and a loose yet structured denim jacket with silver hardware. For a handbag, I opted for my classic CHANEL navy pouch with arm strap and ombre hardware and silver metallic kitten heeled mules. I added an arrow mother-of-pearl earring and my signature diamond “Luna” necklace.
OUTFIT DETAILS
I have to say, a lot of clothing that’s usually a set or part of a blazer/trouser combo at Zara usually never looks and fits as good. One piece is almost always too big, or too small, or cut wrong. It’s fast-fashion, I get it. I do love to mix up designer, high-end, mid-range, commercial brands but I always try to find pieces that are either classic, elegantly unique, and sometimes- totally trendy.
This seventies aesthetic on all the fashion runways have inspired this look. My black and white CHANEL logo platform strap sandals are my absolute favourite to wear during the summer/fall transition season. This look is a perfect transitional outfit that’s chic, modern with a seventies twist.
Aren’t you tired of the same three shirts you wear out every girl’s night? You always say you’ll buy something new, but end up shying away. Let’s task a risk this year. Your style needs a fashion makeover! We’ve got 5 style pieces we can’t wait for you to try!
1. A Little Lace
Lace bodysuits are essential in any hot girl drawer. They make you feel sexy and flirty in the material, giving you a confidence boost for the night. Lace bodysuits can be dressed up or down and here is how: For beginners, you can’t do wrong with black or white. Something with a low neckline will always be a crowd-pleaser. If you’re feeling like dressing it up, try adding some leather pants or a black skirt. This will elevate your style, making you look very trendy. If you’re feeling really bold, add some heels to your look. Show off those amazing legs strutting at the club.
The vibes for today might be more dressed down. You can never go wrong with some ripped jeans or shorts. We love bodysuits because they can be easily tucked in and under some cute jeans to show off as well. You can also try adding some layers to it like a jacket. Sometimes a lace bodysuit might show too much and you want to bring it down with some covering. A jacket is still a great choice to wear over. You still see the style behind it and fashionably appreciate the two together.
Who says you can’t be sexy and comfortable all in one night. Jumpsuits create such a cute style for women and the versatility is endless. You can be a little flirty with some open buttons or conservative with a high neckline. The seamless head-to-toe style cuts back on hours of finding the right pants to top combo. One of my favorite benefits of jumpsuits is the flowy, breathable material. A jumpsuit is a perfect style for the girl that just wants to have fun without getting too dressy.
When I put on a jumpsuit, I feel complete. I have room to dance and not feel constricted. They’re light enough that you don’t feel overheated wearing one to a bar. This outfit doesn’t just have to be a night look. You can wear it for day events like birthdays, baby showers, and brunch. What’s important is you feel good wearing it. When you love what you wear, it shows in the confidence you bring to the style.
Two-piece styles are an iconic way of showing off in the night light. I love matching sets and the variety of options they come in. If you’re looking for a put-together yet savvy look for tonight, this is the one for you. There are patterns, prints, velvet, silk, and so much more. Two-piece wear is a great way to mix it up. Whether you’re going to a bar or a club, you’re able to strut your style comfortably. I enjoy picking out matching sets and pairing them with some cute accessories.
You have your statement piece, now it’s time to show off some jewelry. By wearing a low top, try some dangly necklaces to show off your collar bone. Some cute hoop earrings would go great with this outfit. Now just add some wedges or heels to this look and you are complete! A two-piece can make you go from average to fierce. Pick out a two-piece you love whether it’s a top and pants, skirt, or shorts. Bring it to live in the night and you’ll feel like the sexiest woman in the room.
Let’s show off that figure ladies with this seductive style! Cutouts are such a fun twist on your normal party dress. It adds flair to an everyday look. If you’re looking to stun at a club tonight, look no further. Cutouts are a great way to show off some skin without feeling too revealing. They accentuate in all the right spots making you look and feel.
For a night look, you can’t go wrong with something black or red. Two very powerful colors that are guaranteed to catch some looks. Decide what you like to show off. Most cut-out styles show skin in the front, sides, or back. Decide how flirty you want to be and go for it! Wear the dress, and put on the heels because you’ll never look or feel as great as you do right now. This style is definitely a lot riskier than the previous looks, but that’s what makes it more appealing. Women see these dresses and shy away from them because they spend time admiring them but won’t wear them. This is why they invented going out at night. For you to look and feel your best is a hot dress and just go with it. Be a little risky tonight.
My beautiful body con babes, I couldn’t forget this style. If you’re looking for a snatched, ultra-hot look, a body con dress will do you justice. Body con dresses hold you in tight and show off a woman’s best curves. They support you in all the right ways making you look expensive and sassy. A woman that wears a body con knows her worth. She knows how to style herself and she does it well.
If you’re looking for a style like this, but maybe with a little less skin, a jacket or coat over will solve your worries. You don’t have to show all your sides to get your good sides. An important tip is to always show your best features. For some women, it’s chest, shoulders, or maybe legs. Learn yours and proceed accordingly. Don’t force yourself into a style you’re not 100% comfortable in. Every style can be modified and changed into something you feel confident wearing.
Napa Valley was majestic! The beautiful vineyards and light pink and purple skies were the perfect backdrops for a relaxing week with my Revolve family. I had never been to Napa Valley before, and it was absolutely beautiful.
Home to some of the best wine I’ve ever had and delicious farm-to-table food, Napa Valley is the perfect getaway. This was the perfect introduction to my fall attire! So happy to share with you all x, Natasha
Sony provided me the XB32 EXTRA BASS Portable BLUETOOTH Speaker to try out and it absolutely blew my mind! It's like taking that festival feeling with you with big party sounds that truly feel like you're hearing live music.
First thing you'll probably notice are the party lights. Yes, I said it, party lights. The SRS-XB32 has multi-colored flashing lights that sync to the beat and a flashing strobe. You can change the color of the line light that goes around the speaker to suit your mood.
Battery life is important to me because I like to bring a portable speaker with me when I travel, go on shoots, and when I'm having a dance party in a hotel room.
Other things to note about this speaker if you're in the market for a new one is the the USB port for charging and the Fiestable app6 fthat allows you to control the lighting on the SRS-XB32 as well as being able to use motion control gestures on your smartphone screen.
So excited to FINALLY have a portable speaker. I made a new playlist to celebrate >>> HERE.
Nasty gal is one of the most well renowned brands in the world, so you guys can imagine how honored I was to be approached by them to create a killer 90’s inspired collection! The launch of my Nasty Gal x Natasha Oakley Capsule is definitely a career highlight and something that was hard to keep secret for so long! I hope you guys love this “Pretty Woman” themed range as much as I do!
Leaving Positano wasn’t easy but after a 4 hour drive, on the scary Italian highways, I arrived at our heavenly hotel, Borgo Egnazia. I think its easy to see from my photos why I instantly felt ok with having left Positano.
Borgo Egnazia is definitely one my new favorite hotels, the property instantly takes you back in time with its grand, ancient-roman style of architecture; although it is only 8 years old! Surrounding the hotel are 28 villas that are laid out in the style of a roman village around small piazzas. They have done such an amazing job of creating an experience so different to any other hotel you will ever visit, the wonderful service and stunning facilities are just the cherries on top.
