written by Shalice Noel

Anewall BLUSH FLORAL WALLPAPER // VELVET QUEEN BED // COMFORTER was $189 now $140 (on sale!) CLOTHING COAT RACK

What kind of wallpaper did you use?

We ordered the pre-pasted.

What wallpaper do you recommend for an apartment?

Good question! Peel and stick is a great option for renters.

On a scale of 1-10, how hard was it to install?

A 7! It took a lot of attention to detail, but not impossible! Read ALL the directions and be patient.

Would you do it again?

Yes, 100%, I’d like to do our powder room next.

Where did you order from?

@anewall I got the floral pre-pasted wallpaper. I think if you’re renting, opt for peel & stick.

Where we vacation in FL!

How does a place become your family go to vacation spot?  Every family has that special go to vacation spot.  What is your story?

While growing up, my family loved going to Hong Kong.  I know that sounds strange, but my mom grew up in Hong Kong.  My dad was a pilot, so we would fly standby once a year back in the day when you could still smoke on airplanes.  Yes, those were long trips.  But visiting my cousins in Hong Kong was the best.  They would take us to the best places.  If we got separated, they would say, tell the cab…”NOW CHUN TOE, KOWLOON TONG,” and we would get home. Those trips to the markets to get cloths and grubs would forever be one of my favorite memories.

We had enjoyed many great day trips in California.  Whether that was Lake Arrowhead, Anacapa Island (See post) or Laguna Beach, leaving California was hard.  But knowing Florida beaches would be a short drive away, our sorrows turned to joy.  Florida is a favorite place to take our family.

Here is our tips on traveling to the scenic 30A.  The last few times, we have stayed near Alys Beach.  The community we stay in is called Magnolia By The Sea and we found it on VRBO.  It’s a small community of cottages across the street from the beach.  While small, the house sleep quite a few people.  Perfect for multi-family gatherings or big families.  We like that the beach is private and the community has a heated pool.  The perk for the location is that it is a short bike ride to Alys Beach.  I should mention, Alys Beach is our dream vacation goals.  Someday we want to stay there, but for now we enjoy riding our bikes, playing at the park and getting coffee within the town.  You cannot take a bad picture of this place.  The community is design perfection in my opinion.  Everything down to the window trim colors to the outdoor planters.  Every vista is perfectly harmonized.  Reid and I enjoyed sometime meandering the quaint streets.  Reid admires the architecture and design while I soak in photo shoot inspiration. 

Rosemary Beach is also another hot spot we like to take the kids to in the evenings.  It’s a bustling beach community with a lot of night life and you feel like you are in Europe.  While there are many places to eat and play, here is my brief list of our favorites for your vacation planning enjoyment.

·      Stay:  Magnolia By The Sea (Hint:  Staying outside of Alys/Rosemary Beach saves you $$$ – but you can still enjoy the public hot spots)

·      Eat:  George’s (Alys Beach)

·      Dessert:  Sugar Shack (Rosemary Beach)

·      Drink:  Neat (Alys Beach)

·      Breakfast:  Donut Hole (Inlet Beach)

·      Coffee:  Raw & Juicy (Alys Beach)

·      Do:  Rent Bikes – Don’t forget Sunscreen! I like this one – non toxic.

·      Shop:  Don’t be silly, this is a beach vacation

Anthropoloigie is having a huge 20% off sale this weekend. If you were on the fence about something, you can pull the trigger now at discount. I’m shopping their mirrors for my bathroom facelift. Even the Agolde parker shorts are included in the sale!

I may sounds like I’m beating a dead drum, but I’m loving these vitamins from Amazon I take daily to help absorb the liquid collagen I take. See this link to shop.

Here’s the collagen I take. Yes, I’m mildly obsessed. My hair has come in thicker and softer, joint discomfort has subsided and my skin is so good. Use my code 3697593 for $10 off

Random share, these boots rock. (size up like I did). That’s all.

Happy Friday!!

Jeans // Boots (size up)

Sizing: generally if you’re 5’7″ and taller, we recommend getting the poncho, if you’re shorter than that, we recommend the petite size.

It was a dream of mine to make a matching set that me and my daughters could dress in. The poncho is flowy, heavy, warm and the perfect season-less layer. It is travel and nursing friendly and can be worn multiple ways. Did you know mother’s day is 13 days away? It’s a perfect gift to give and get!

My Closet Inspiration

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

As a fashion mom, I’ve been dreaming of a walk-in closet for many years.  One of the most important upgrades we made to our big move was closet potential.  Out of 14 years of marriage and 7 houses, our homes have never had ideal closets.  In fact, you would cry if you saw the closet of our first house.  Our last home had great storage space, but the main closet was combined with the bathroom and I had to separate my clothing into multiple closets.  With this move, a big closet was a must.  Unfortunately, we compromised and still didn’t get a house with my dream closet.  Therefore, we are at the drawing board.

Have you noticed that master bedroom closets are the new kitchen?  I’ve been on inspiration overload the last couple weeks, so I will share some of my closet design research and thoughts for your future closet renovation.

For inspiration, I researched closet organization, finishes, lighting and amenities.  Can you believe closets have amenities?  Some of the research findings are like resort closets.

First, as you envision the aesthetic, think practically and quantify storage needs.  Such as, linear feet of long hangings & short hangings, drawers, purses, shoes, high boots, hats, belts, jewelry and maybe your husband’s clothes.  Also, make sure to measure the hanging length of your dresses, jeans and shirts.  Therefore, you know where you can do a double rod and where you can hang your long items.   Keep in mind the average reach height for a woman is 74” and a man is 79”.   Start with this dimension for you clothing rod height.  Then compartmentalize your closet from there.

Material inspiration is similar to any home remodel and should coordinate with the style of your home.  I found design inspiration while shopping at my favorite retail stores.  Cuyana, in LA is one of my favorites.   As you visit, take note of the finishes, lighting and how they display the clothing.  Take photos if they allow you.  Otherwise bring a pen and paper.   

I felt inspired by this closet I found on Pinterest.  The proportion of the space was similar to ours.  I love the grey with brass accessories.  The closet feels chic and reminds me of a retail space with the pivoting mirror and shoe display.  We incorporated a similar layout for our closet however, I will be using a lighter grey with lacquer finish. 

For lighting, I want some modern femininity.  We found this chandelier at Restoration Hardware outlet and jumped on it.  I love the square shape, crystals and black iron structure.  It’s both chic and modern.  For general lighting we will be doing 4” recessed LED cans as well as LED tape lighting at the purse and shoes shelves.  I’m anxious to see it all come together.

Closet amenities are ideas that you may or may not have space for.  But think creatively and see what happens.  The one amenity I really wanted was an island.  Unfortunately, our closet doesn’t have room, so as a compromise, we are going to use a bench or move our console table into the closet.  I’ll keep you posted.  I have also seen writing desk, vanities, jewelry drawers and even library ladders.  All in all, think of one thing you can do in your closet that is unexpected.

Paint: Ammonite no 274 // Light – I picked this chandelier but also liked this 24″ chandelier // Bench and this wood bench // “S” hooks I got to hang my jeans

I’ll be showing you the final closet makeover in another post.  Stay tuned.

I wanted to share some common questions I got about my closet reveal!

How did you find a contractor so fast?

Ask your realtor! I told our realtor right away the closet won’t work. LOL. So he suggested we get a quote from a contractor he recommended before we closed on the house. So, I had an idea of scope of work, pricing and timing. Although with every renovation, it takes longer than you think.

Are those inset cabinets?

Yes! Good eye. They are inset cabinets. The cost was more, but it has a more custom look.

Which knobs are you going with? I’m just curious, lol.

Rejuvenation has them! They’re brass with ridges.

Where are the gold brass rods from?

Our contractor got them at Richelieu Atlanta

Would it look weird with black hangers, which color hanger?

I got gold ones!

Ok, this may be a private question, but how much did it cost?

At first, we were were quoted 11,000 to do the renovation including demolishing the wall in the middle of the room. But after we did the inset cabinets, and some random upgrades, we ended up spending 15,000.

5 things that 2020 forced me to DIY

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

I don’t know about you, but 2020 was a strange year. It felt kinda crazy and isolating but I learned to pivot! 

I still wanted to feel good about myself, despite staying in more and things being closed, so I didn’t want to skip out on the spa treatments. A girl needs her beauty treatments!

First off, waxing! I get this kit from amazon. It’s $12 for the wax that I melt in the microwave. Lately, I’ve used a paper plate under the plastic wax bottle due to a few unfortunate spills. Trust me, the paper plate is a game-changer. I use these strips to peel off the hair. I use these to wax the bikini area, underarms, and upper lip. This takes practice, so give yourself some time to figure it out. But it’s so worth it!

EXTRA TIP: Finish off the area with this tanning foam. VIOLA! You’ll look like you got back from San Tropez! Use code SHALICE10

I learned to color my roots using this kit I go with a lighter shade than my hair. I use light brown in DPHUE OR 5N in Naturtint. I only apply to my roots, so to avoid wasting product, I mix 1 tablespoon of colorant and 1 T of developer. I leave it on for 1 hour to get those stubborn grays. This doesn’t have harsh chemicals or ammonia, so I’m a fan.

I love self-tanning; it’s an instant mood boost! I use this mousse for legs and body, and tan oil for face.

I learned to tint my eyebrows You leave it on for 10 min and it tints your brows, making it easier to color in your brows and saves you some time.

Whiten my teeth I use these and Atalie uses them too. If you want a healthier version, try these.

Dear Friends, family and new friends!


Thank you for being faithful readers of my blog! I appreciate you all and love hearing from you, whether by e-mails, direct messages, comments or even text. It’s been a pleasure getting to know you. As you have gotten to know me, you may notice we always have some life-changing event going on. My in-laws joke that they can’t keep up with us! Reid and I are entrepreneurs at heart and with that comes a little fly-by-night hustle. Thus, we move a lot, relocate to different cities, have babies, dream up new ideas and have a thirst for creating and recreating. I’m thankful that by many years of hard work at Shalicenoel.com, that we can turn my personal style into a clothing line. It’s beyond my wildest dreams and it is so special to me that so many of you have been alongside me throughout this journey. I am grateful for you!
As many of you know, one of the key concepts behind Shalice Noel is effortless chic. We all want to look our best, but we also don’t want to spend the entire morning making it happen. When life gets busy, style shouldn’t have to be sacrificed. These are the ideas that were behind the creation of my line. The collection is from my heart with versatile pieces that are flattering yet effortless. Whatever your daily grind, Shalice Noel pieces will empower your day!
To make things easier, I have started an Instagram account just for my collection. It’s @shopshalicenoel – give it a follow!  The pieces I’ve curated will be styled multiple ways and I’ll be sharing more about the inspiration behind my collection on IG. Please follow to stay updated! I’ll announce as pieces drop on @shopshalicenoel, but you can also make sure to check my blog and www.shopshalicenoel.com.
Keep the following things in mind as you shop: 1. Inventory is limited, so if there is something you like, check out.

1. I use dead stock (so fabric doesn’t get thrown into the landfill) so fabric is limited, therefore inventory is limited.

2. Sizes go from XXS to XL in the peasant top, V-neck tee, and XS to XL in the Tank. 

3. Register for my newsletter and forward to your friends to sign up!


As usual, send along any questions (DM or email me) and I’ll try and get back to you. I couldn’t have done this without you guys!
