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.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
