Michelle wanted to fill her new book with relaxed lifestyle images of her family in their fabulously designed kitchen. We went for a casual, everyday look to go with the simple recipes featured in her book. Michelle is very passionate about the food we eat and believes food has the power to heal and connect, which is what she wanted to showcase in her book!
“I want to show people that eating wholesome foods doesn’t have to be boring and pretentious but that it can be attainable for everyone. And fun!” Even though this woman is serious about her food, Michelle is THE MOST fun to be around - always making us laugh with her silly jokes and so much fun to style!!!
To achieve Michelle’s effortless everyday looks, we paired basics already in her closet with some fun easy pieces we found at Anthropologie, Madewell, and J. Crew. We kept the colors neutral with pops of earth tones and staged different looks throughout the day like Sunday morning breakfast with the family, grabbing a bite after a workout, putting the final touches at a dinner party, and various casual looks to represent everyday style,
