Meet Nautical By Nature - Blogger Q&A

Kate's blog Nautical by Nature was one of the first blogs I ever started reading. I love how she finds amazing nautically themed pieces at all price points. She doesn't just limit her blog to fashion but also branches frequently into home goods, organization, travel and everything baby. She is not only blogger but also takes care of her adorable nephew and she shares all her great tips and tricks she has learned working with toddlers.

The lovely Kate of Nautical by Nature

Kate and I realized we both lived in LA a few months ago and decided it was important for us LA blogging gals to stick together. We both share a strong love of the Fall (and east coast weather) as well as everything preppy and nautical. So this collaboration is our first endeavor into working together more.

Describe your personal style in three words.
1. nautical
2. comfortable
3. toddler friendly

I can’t leave home without: my phone, lotion, chapstick, some kind of snack

If I were any accessory, I would be: a headband with a big bow

What are your three favorite places to shop?
1. J.Crew
2. Vineyard Vines
3. Bloomingdales

What is your favorite travel outfit? J.Crew popover shirt, Gap ponte legging jeans, and flip flops or ballet flats

What outfit do you go to when you want to feel strong and powerful? I feel the most confident when I am wearing something I feel comfortable in whether it's jeans and a t shirt or my go to LBD

What is your go-to handbag right now? During the week I use a Vineyard Vines tote because it can hold a ton (now that I don't have to carry a separate diaper bag) and all of the pockets keep me organized in my job as a nanny. On the weekends I switch to a Juicy Couture bag (with an anchor) or Tory Burch Amanda crossbody bag (both of them are much smaller!)
