Affiliate links
Natalieinthecity.com is a part of several affiliate advertising programs. This means that if you click and/or make a purchase through certain links on this site or any related social media platforms (including Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Pinterest), I may make a commission from that click and/or purchase. This is at no extra cost to you.
Here’s an example: If I link to an outfit or a piece of clothing and you click on that link and complete a purchase within 24 hours, I may receive a commission between 1 to 10 percent of your total order (the retailer pays this cost and doesn’t affect your total cost).
I’m very careful to link to products and retailers that I use myself, trust, and recommend. Money earned keeps my blog running and allows me to do what I love for a living. Thank you so much for supporting me.
I am a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for me to earn a commission by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites (at no extra cost to you).
I am a member of LTK (formerly Reward Style). This affiliate advertising program allows me to make a commission on the fashion, beauty, home, and skincare products I share here.
I also use other companies like Magic Links, Sovrn, Maevly, Amazon Affiliates, Magic URL, and more that allow me to make a commission on links on this blog and my social media accounts.
