Blog Updates + A Matchy-Matchy Moment

November is slowly coming to a close and I can’t lie, I’ve been feeling extremely overwhelmed. Around this time of the month, I tend to reflect back on everything that I still need to do before the end of year. I hate that my content creation has taken a little bit of a back seat recently and I apologize for not posting as consistently as I used to on here.

I always try to keep a great balance between paid campaigns and personal content so that it never feels like you’re only seeing sponsored posts. It’s really important to me to be able to have an equal mix of both because even though this is my business, it’s still very much a labor of love. In many ways, I still consider this blog to be a passion project and one that I want to continue evolving.

Many of my recent partnerships have been centered around Instagram and I noticed that because of that, the blog was put on the back burner. Traffic flow has not been the same on here lately and ultimately that’s my own fault for lacking consistency. I promise that I am working on some new content ideas to share before the end of the year! Truthfully though, I’ve even taken a little step away from IG and IG Stories too. Sometimes it just helps me regroup.

Out of curiosity, how many times a week do you like to read blog content? Do you prefer 2-3 posts a week or 5x a week? I personally feel that posting every day can be a little overwhelming on both me and my readers, but would love to get some feedback here. I always appreciate your opinions as they provide me with so much value.

There’s been a lot of work that I have been doing behind-the-scenes. You are going to be seeing some new changes and design elements coming soon to the site. There’s already been a few on the homepage and subscribe page that you may or may not have noticed. I’ve been brainstorming ideas with my tech/design team so that I can enhance this site and make it more engaging for all of you!

I’ve been telling you guys for months that my newsletter is almost ready. I sincerely apologize that you still have not received it! Without getting into too much detail, there was a huge setback with the current template and it’s something that my design team is still trying to help me fix. My goal is to have it officially launch in January since the year is just about over anyway. For now though, please continue to subscribe so that I can send it out to you as soon as it’s ready!

I just want you to know that even when I’m silent on here, I am still working! I hope to expand my Naty Michele team once I move. In all honesty, I could use the help. I also plan to expand my lifestyle content even more once I am in the city. I’m thinking of creating a home decor section, sharing fun finds and my favorite restaurants in NYC, plus more travel (Italy is in August!) and honestly whatever other ideas I may come up with! Being in a new environment will fill me with so much newfound inspiration and I can’t wait to share more details on this with you guys soon. (Maybe even sooner than expected!)

What I’m Wearing
Coat: Stone Row [similar here & here] | Cropped Tee: Hanes x Karla [similar style] Jeans: Cotton On [love these]  Boots: Schutz [old, similar here & here] | Bag: Bershka

 

Now that I’ve discussed a few of those updates, let’s get into this look! I had a matchy-matchy moment and I have to admit, I kinda love it. Navy blue and white is a color combo that works for me all year round. I consider navy to be a neutral, so there are so many other colors that you can pair it with too. White in particular just feels so fresh and light to me. You don’t always have to wear dark this time of year!

If you don’t have a pair of white boots yet, then what are you waiting for?! But seriously, these babies have become such a staple for me in the fall and winter seasons ever since I got them last year. Styling possibilities are endless! Pearl denim is another huge trend that you’re probably seeing everywhere. I personally love it, but here’s a quick piece of advice for you. If you get a pair and the pearl placement is similar to mine here, DO NOT kneel down. 😂 You guys, I did it twice totally forgetting and let me tell you. It did not feel good. lol

I’m not sure if I will make it back on here before Thanksgiving so in case I don’t, I just want to say that I hope you all have an amazing holiday with your family and friends! Be thankful today and every other day of your life. Count your blessings and remind yourself of all the things you have to be grateful for. Love you all!
