All You Need Is Love

ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE

Yes, I am a slightly annoying Beatles fan. I read their song lyrics as much as I listen to them, this one especially. I have dissected this song to the point that I could probably write a thesis on it. But, you can’t tell me that one phrase those four English men made millions off of singing doesn’t sum up most everyone’s life goals of finding true love.

The Chic List

As much as I like to rock head-to-toe black 🖤, an all-white outfit is just. so. striking. It’s elevated, chic and clean. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ While black makes me feel badass, white makes me feel magical. Like I can go anywhere, do anything, be anyone ...🖤⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Photographer:Christina Cernik⁣
•The only time you should ever look back...⠀ ⠀ •Spanx denim ranges from size XS-3XL comes in a distressed wash, white, flared, and even a trendy side-stripe. ⠀ ⠀ •But the #spanxmagic dives more than just second-skin deep. This new-wave of denim jegging is made for the woman who craves style and comfort, and who celebrates feeling great in what she wears. Now that’s a message I can get... behind! 😉⠀ •The best part:⠀ "Strategically placed pockets make your booty look like W🍑W."⠀ Photographer: Christina Cernik ⠀ #sponsored
Neutrals never get old. When I want to feel classic, put together and ready for any occasion, I go for neutrals. This look took me from carpool to lunch with friends and afternoon errands. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ My formula for an easy, all day look:⁣⠀ 1) a loose-fitting bottom (shorts, pants or skirt)⁣⠀ 2) fitted top ⁣⠀ 3) flowy layered piece for chilly indoor spaces ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Do you have a go-to, easy, all day look? Let me know in the comments!⁣⠀🖤 ⁣⠀ Photographer: Christina Cernik⁣
⁣⠀ ▪️Feeling kind of daydreamy--is that a word?? It is now!-- on this Friday. After the work and school week, Friday night is my night to unwind and recharge. What are your Friday plans? 🖤⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Photographer: Christina Cernik⁣⠀
Have you ever walked into a boutique and just thought ”closet goals?” 🙋‍♀️ While our favorite places to shop may be perfectly organized... We can't always say the some for our own closets. Check out today’s blog post for my personal Spring Cleaning Checklist for an Organized Closet- including how I store my knits during the warmer seasons. 🖤 Photographer: Christina Cernik
▪️Are you a pastel princess or badass in black? ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ▪️While I say you can be both (and more), I'm definitely more comfortable rockin' an all-black look than a wistful, lightly colored one. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Hint: I'm gearing you up for tomorrow's blog post.😉⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ▪️But before you read that, remember, if your spring allergies involve color instead of coughing you can still look fresh and lively in your slated silhouettes.⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ▪️A playful tee with neutral accessories (or a pop of color if you wanna get crazy) will balance your light and dark side for a classic, transitional look that will last throughout the seasons.🖤 ⁣⠀ Photographer: Christina Cernik⁣
▫️Investing in a fun, bold clutch is never a bad idea. I like to find ones that allow you to bring out different colors in your outfits. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ▫️That’s why this Fendi clutch is so perfect. With its multi-color lettering, I can style it with anything from basic burgundy to light blue or burnt orange. 💙💛❤️⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Photographer: Christina Cernik⁣
▪️What's your go-to out for the office? Tag your favorite accounts workwear look in the comments, I'd love to check them out! 🖤💋⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ▪️There’s something empowering about a strong outfit for the office. I loved creating this tough, but gorgeous outfit for a client meeting. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ▪️The skirt and bodysuit topped with a light-colored blazer gave it just the right balance. ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ▪️And the Gucci accessories just, well, get the job done! 😉⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Photographer: Christina Cernik⁣
There is nothing more fun than a Saturday lunch date!! It’s a gorgeous day in South Florida so I am rocking this beautiful @ramybrook dress along with some fun Spring accessories! 💙💙💙
Do you ever feel like you're juggling a million balls, going in twenty different directions and just trying to keep it together every. single. day? ⁣Sometimes, by Friday, I don’t even remember what day it is!⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ It may sound silly, but making lists is something that has helped me immensely throughout the highs and lows of motherhood. We all go through times when we try⁣ to “do it all” and it ends up backfiring, usually in the form of our confidence being shot or feeling like a failure when we can’t get everything done. Start by breaking⁣ down your day-to-day tasks alongside one “want” per day – tennis lesson, phone call with a best friend, 10 minutes of meditation... Crossing things off your list will not only⁣⠀make you feel accomplished, but you’ll also be extra motivated when you get to your “want.” 🖤⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Photographer: Christina Cernik⁣⠀
