After
the holidays the January Blues started to hit me, hard. Chilly weather and
short days can get so monotonous in the City. But I was determined to focus my
energy on a New Year, even better me by concentrating my energy on positive
changes & self love. I was so excited when Noelle suggested we do a friend
slumber party/staycation! We booked an AirBnB in Brooklyn with a hot tub to
soak & relax our worries away. It was the perfect opportunity to show off
our new swimwear favorites from Aerie. I’ve been a fan of Aerie for years and I
have especially loved their commitment to body positivity & inclusivity
showcasing their models with zero photoshopping or retouching on a variety of
real body types & amazing, diverse models. I chose a simple black bandeau top
with super flattering high waisted bottoms. This Spring,
for the 4th year in a row, Aerie
is launching their Love The Swim You’re In campaign. For every 100% unretouched
swim photo shared with #AerieREAL @Aerie, Aerie will donate $1 (now up to $50,000!) to
the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA). I’m encouraging my readers to
share their beach body because every BODY is a perfect beach body! It’s such a
pleasure to collaborate with a brand that values body positivity, inclusivity
& positive image and representation for all women. Special thanks to Aerie & ShopStyle
for sponsoring this post & stay tuned for more #AerieREAL content from
yours truly.
