Honest Commentary
Style Icon Collective is a luxury lifestyle, beauty and fashion blog created by Style Icon Nat (Me!). I write all blog articles featured on Style Icon Collective to reflect my creative voice. Some materials may include quotes from individuals I have interviewed for a blog article. I provide honest commentary as part of my product or service reviews to remain faithful to my readership without the intent to offend. Style Icon Collective is for those seeking recommendations and honest reviews on products or services.
Please treat Style Icon Collective as a platform to gain constructive criticism and honest feedback. I feature products and services that resonate with me and my audience. Ultimately, my blog aims to inspire and influence you positively, so I keep the content authentic and accurately represent my daily routine and lifestyle, in general.

What the Lifestyle Collective Does Not Do
I do not accept guest posts on Style Icon Collective, as I prefer to write my content in a particular style.
Sponsored Posts
I accept sponsored posts for review or styling, as agreed upon via email before posting.
I only feature products or services that reflect the nature of Style Icon Collective. The latter ensures that everything on my blog is featured honestly because I choose it myself.
I incorporate a link to the brand’s website with which I collaborate, tag the brand, and use relevant hashtags in my blog articles and social media posts. When paid to publish content for transparency and as a legal requirement, I state “Paid Partnership with (brand name)”. When gifted, I comment #gifted. Please visit the Advertising Standard Authority website.
To discuss this further, don’t hesitate to contact info@styleiconcollective.com or read Style Icon Collective advertising policy.
Gifting Policy
If you would like to offer a free product or service for review or would like me to style a product on my blog article, the Gifting Policy is as follows:
I accept samples only for review or styling, as agreed upon via email before posting.
I accept gifts that reflect the nature of my blog and the brand with whom I collaborate. The retail price of the gift(s) must meet the cost of my social media service, i.e. blog, vlog, social media campaign or email marketing.
I will post about a product or service in whatever context (blog or other social media platform) I consider appropriate or based on guidelines provided by the brand with whom I collaborate. Social media content, including blog posts, is published within two to four weeks, including extensive editing and proofreading.
I only feature products or services that interest me and my audience. Additionally, the product or service must reflect the nature of my blog, ensuring that everything featured on Style Icon Collective is authentic.
