It’s an emergency. We are out of almond milk, so I’m having a straight up Nespresso coffee and collagen this morning.

Girls my peasant top I love wearing is now 40% off! Also the earrings I’ve been wearing lately are down to $52. So many good sale packs from the Nordstrom half yearly sale go check it out. I can’t believe even the gray wedge sandals I featured recently are under $50. I also I’m looking forward to wearing this white lace dress with a leather jacket, it’s on SALE too, only $66!

Outfit details: white jeans (I love the slight ankle flare!) // sandals in “gray leather”// graphic tee and similar // utility jacket (I sized up to a medium for an oversize look) // purse and similar // sunglasses similar

Also this dress is great to attend to a wedding, minus the white color obviously. Thanks for reading, I hope you found some goodies!

For me, a peasant top is a non-negotiable in a girl’s wardrobe. A quality one is hard to find. I like it to be heavy, not too lightweight, a tie, eyelet detail is fun, and THE FIT MUST BE PERFECT. That is non-negotiable. Seem like an impossible task? Well apparently it is not. I found it in this Frame top that is currently on sale at Shopbop. Score!

This new bag from Tamara Mellon, who originally founded Jimmy Choo, fits my water bottle, wipes, and feels like AMAZING nubby leather. The color here is bone, which I was totally on the fence about. I’ll admit I’m a camel bag junkie and even tried on the camel and black colors. But you know which one won me over? BONE. Love the unusual color to my handbag collection. It can be worn three ways and deep enough to fit a laptop or chipotle burrito. Just kidding. It converts to a tote using the handles, cross body bag or shoulder bag. How cool is that?

I have a new post on the blog today featuring the NUFACE SALE and SHOPBOP SALE, don’t miss it! As always, my shop page is open 24/7 and as always, ask any questions! Here or at shalice@shalicenoel.com. I don’t mind your “hey, where is that from,” quick messages.

Happy two days before FRIDAY!

As you may have heard, Shopbop is having an up to 40% off sale no code needed! Here’s a tip I use: login to your Amazon Prime account and get free two-day shipping. It’s a treat getting your items shipped so fast to your house without an extra fee! I tried styling 3 classic outfits for your to visualize for your next vacation, meeting or date night. Though I personally prefer day dates. Although sales come and go, this one thing is true, YOU DON’T NEED IT ALL TO LOOK PULLED TOGETHER. Simple outfit choices like a simple little black dress (LBD) with a statement cuff and cute sandals is all you need. If it’s a chilly evening, throw on a blazer. Make sense?

1 LBD 2. Flowy Dress 3. Peasant top // 4. Charm bracelet  // 5. Bag – 30% off // 6. Black pants // 7. Flat strappy sandals // 8. Espadrille sandals // 9. Pointy toe

PS. Some of you have been messaging me for details on which NuFace device is my favorite. Honestly, it is hard to pick a favorite! I’m bringing the mini to NYC with me and I use the Body once every evening. Well, today begins a friends and family sale! It goes from 5/22-5/24 and is 20% off site-wide. The Promo code is “F&F20.” I wish I had this sale when I purcahsed the body device. My loss is your GAIN. Let me know what you get!

I get some of the sweetest DM’s from you – my followers! I get some regarding family, diet, home and fashion. Here’s a sample below!

How do you take the walking pictures in the middle of the street?

We wait till the cars pass, it’s usually not too crazy on the weekends!

How do you make your energy balls?

I’ll admit I’m addicted and I don’t even freeze them anymore. I eat them raw not frozen. Blend in a cuisanart 1 cup whole oats and 3 T dark chocolate chunks. Add to that 1/2 cup honey, 2 t. cinnamon and 1/2 cup almond butter. Freeze for 30min if you have the will power. More than I do.

What is the brand of collagen you use?

Vital Proteins collagen powder. I’ve been almost using it for a year. It’s been so good for my hair and nails.

If you could get one Nuface device which would it be?

Oh that’s hard! The Mini and Trinity are my top 2. The mini is great for a smaller travel friendly option and trinity has the attachments to target specific areas like wrinkles with the red light and two prongs to target lip and laugh lines. Stay tuned for a friends and family sale!

Are Golden Goose sneakers ever on sale?

Yes! occasionally! See below.

I don’t wanna pay full price, any good designer sales?

Tanning 101

by Shalice Noel

How I tan

Hello! One of my most frequently asked questions is how I keep a year-round tan. It’s important to know my natural skin color is olive toned from my mom’s Portuguese side. So I’ll admit, lot’s of tanning products don’t do much for me. I also don’t like tanning products with a lot of scents and I hate an orange skin tone. So, let’s get right to it – what do I use?!

The secret to a natural tan and 391 reviews and 20k likes on Sephora don’t lie! I’ve been using  Isle of Paradise (IOP) drops for a couple of months now.

First, I love the customizable color. Depending on what time of year it is, and how much beach time I have, I adjust my color by using more or fewer drops (follow instructions on the bottle for more info). I started doing this because I’m no longer “laying out” for extended periods of time like I did in my twenties. UV rays just aren’t healthy, and let’s be real, no one has 3-4 hours to lay out in the sun all day? I know I don’t. Because laying out is no longer an option, I knew I didn’t want a tan that rubbed off or looked fake and Isle of Paradise was just the ticket.

How do I use the drops?

Before I do anything, I exfoliate. You want to do this beforehand using this brush. In order to get the best results, you must start with clean, exfoliated skin.

Next, I mix a couple of drops into my favorite moisturizer. Your tan will turn out dry and steaky if you don’t mix and apply with moisturizer, so don’t apply it directly. I rub it in it all over my body except my face. To apply the tan there, I switch to my face moisturizer and mix a couple of drops in and apply to my face and neck. I do this about two times a week. It leaves my skin baby soft and retains the color.

Lastly, after I “tan”, I do not exfoliate unless I want to wash off the tan. I haven’t experienced any breakouts on my face, either (knock on wood!). There is a bit of a wait time before the tan actually shows up so I recommend applying right before you go to bed. This way it has about 8 hours to process. And most importantly, don’t forget to wash your hands! You’ll wake up with stained, streaky hands if you do!

Now, break out that dress and show off those tan legs!

If you read my blog often, you’ve definitely seen me talk about Vince Camuto. It’s hands down one of my favorite brands and I’m always keeping an eye out for new things to add to my closet from them. Their footwear is something I’m especially loving right now. The designs are fashion-forward and most importantly, comfortable! I mean, how cute are these sandals I’m wearing?
Honestly, I’m often on Nordstrom online browsing their shoes and will always stop at a Vince Camuto pair not even knowing its Vince Camuto. Their styles are that good! Maybe it’s their attention to detail, colors and flattering designs that earn their fan base. I must admit I am among them. One of my favorite pairs of booties in my closet is from Vince Camuto. It has a perfect pointy toe!
As far as the outfit I’m wearing, though, it’s so versatile! I love a comfortable jumpsuit – it’s practical for chasing after the kids but also stylish. You can also swap the tie belt for a large wooden buckle option. Plus, a good sandal is priceless in my book. And let’s not forget that nothing says spring like this blush jumpsuit, versatile white blazer and flattering sandals. How cute is this bag? I hope it doesn’t end up with cheerios in it.

Thank you Vince Camuto for sponsoring this post!

I’m loving a simple black maxi to show off awesome accessories like this bag and orange sandals. I like to wear flats on vacation, who else?

I cannot wait to dig into all the fresh guacamole and chips, until then, what are some of your favorites?

Every Monday needs a power suit and I’m loving one in all white. Don’t forget the tide stick. Top it off with on trend snake boots, and a black textured bag. The jeans have a slight flare at the hem, perfect for featuring these cute boots.

I haven’t baked a ton lately, I’ll admit. But when I saw almond flour at Costco on a recent run, I thought, let’s make blueberry muffins. Why not? Have any of you ever used almond flour? Both me and the hubby love it because just 1/4 of a cup has a whopping 6 grams of protein! Crazy, right?! It makes eating a muffin feel even better, in my opinion. Plus, the kids absolutely love when I break out the Kitchen Aid. They literally squeal!

Anyway, so not only was it a fun little family activity, but the muffins turned out pretty dang good! Here’s the recipe if you’d like to give almond flour a go. It’s simple, quick and very delicious! 

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups almond flour

1/2 cup sugar

1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/3 cup avocado oil or coconut oil

1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk

3 eggs

1 cup frozen blueberries (I coat with almond flour) and stir it in.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients, bake for 20-25 min. They’re ready when the toothpick comes out clean and the top is golden brown. Enjoy!
