With her sister Dylana, also a fashion influencer , they developed a unique visual take on fashion blogging. Lim Suarez credits their penchant for photography to a childhood that saw the two surrounded by art. 'The arts have been in my life ever since I was little. I was always singing, dancing, and performing,' she shared in an interview for fashion brand Dora Larsen's blog.
Training from a young age in those performance arts, Lim Suarez first discovered her fashion fascination on stage. 'Our costumes on stage were definitely my first fashion moments,' she has admitted to fashion brand Aje.
The sisters taught themselves photography after their father gave them a camera. From there, their love of beautiful and expressive imagery took off. 'Style and fashion is something that just came naturally to me. I love the art of photography,' Natalie has blogged. 'I like creating a mood through my photos that feel like an editorial and tell a story with a single image.'

The two also launched the Natalie Dylana Eau de Parfum fragrance in 2019. To perfume platform Scent Beauty, Natalie described the fruity, earthy unisex scent as happy and invigorating.
Since starting her blog in 2009 and increasing her social media presence, she has been collaborating with fashion brands including Coach and Gap.

Pop Mart shares up after near-400pc profit surge in H1
Pop Mart shares up after near-400pc profit surge in H1 Pop Mart chief executive Wang Ning told analysts that the company could 'easily' surpass its annual revenue target of 20 billion yuan for this year. Photo: RTHK Shares of Chinese toymaker Pop Mart on Wednesday reversed course and rose 12.5 percent, the most in almost four months, after the company posted a nearly 400 percent surge in net profit in the first half of the year, compared to the same period last year. The increase also came as the company's chief executive, Wang Ning, said at an earnings conference that the firm, which is the maker of Labubu dolls, is well positioned to hit its annual target revenue of 20 billion yuan for this year, adding that "reaching 30 billion yuan should be quite easy". The firm's rise came amid a global collection frenzy over its ulgy-cute Labubu toys, a sharp-toothed, big-eared doll under "The Monsters" series of toys designed by Hong Kong-born artist Lung Kasing, which became a global pop culture and intellectual property phenomenon. Demand for such toys surged notably in overseas markets with higher-margins, with its keychains spotted on bags of various celebrities including Rihanna, and Lisa from K-pop band Blackpink. Speaking to analysts, Wang also announced plans for the firm to launch a new mini version of the Labubu toy that can be attached to phones. The Beijing-headquartered company said on Tuesday that its revenue jumped 204.4 percent year on year to 13.88 billion yuan for the first six months of 2025, while net profit soared 396.5 percent to 4.57 billion yuan during the period. "The Monsters" toy series raked in 4.81 billion yuan in the first half, accounting for 34.7 percent of the total revenue, while other toy series, including "Molly" and "Crybaby", earned over one billion yuan during the period. The company is now pushing ahead with its global expansion plan by leveraging the global craze of Labubus, as overseas revenue jumped 440 percent to 5.6 billion yuan between January and June. While online and in-store revenue in the Asia-Pacific region accounted for the most of its overseas market sales, rising 258 percent to 2.85 billion yuan, North and South America made up its second largest overseas market, with revenue rocketing tenfold to 2.3 billion yuan. Sales in Europe, meanwhile, surged sevenfold. Looking ahead, Moon Duk II, the group's co-chief operating officer, said he expects total foreign store numbers to surpass 200 by the end of the year, up from the current 140. He noted that Pop Mart will open its first store in Doha, Qatar in the second half of the year as it explores emerging markets in Central Asia, Central and South America. It will also establish flagship stores and travel retail shops in Paris, Sydney, Milan and New York in the coming months, he added.
