1. B+W Art is some of my favorite. // 2. Sweet dainty necklace 3. Jane Pope Ring (this one is most like my granny’s ring!) // 4. Statement bag at a great price point 5. Splurge worthy bag, yes please! // 6. Silk Robe that transitions from day to night. // 7. Bath salts  Nothing says I love you like a hot bath and reviving bath salts. My kids know how much I LOVE baths. 8. Rose Oil smells amazing! // 9. Dry Brush increases circulation, stimulates the nervous system, and helps detoxify. I’m a fan.

I accidentally told the kids my birthday is Sunday! That’s how much I love mother’s day. I picked a couple things I love above like a silky robe and a bath soak. Things not mentioned above is a good night’s sleep and a neck massage. I hope you make your mom feel extra special this Sunday because it’s the hardest job out there. Also, If you are a mom, let your kids spoil you and feel confident this is the best job out there. Someone once told me, you’re doing much better than you think you are. Let’s stop and enjoy this unique role we have as mother’s.

What’s your favorite mother’s day gift so far?

Nite Jogger (size 9) in white/pink

This lightweight Nite Jogger, originally meant to stand out at night, is a perfect day statement that carries your look from the gym to shopping with friends. The colors were the first thing that drew me to the shoes. I LOVE the combination of pinks and mauve. It brings out my all black ensemble underneath my trench. The latter of which I’ll admit is my go-to outfit. I was pleasantly surprised with the complimentary fast shipping from Finish Line. The shoes are lightweight and fresh for spring. As for style, its a marriage between the dad sneaker and a chic running shoe. Stand out this spring in the hottest IT shoe. Get it before it sells out!

If you’ve ever walked into a Nordstrom shoe department, you already know what I’m talking about. Once you walk into the department, you are greeted right away. I love that about Nordstrom. Their customer service is always five star!

If I choose to purchase online, I usually get a couple sizes and style, try on what works and return what doesn’t. Yay for free returns! For these particular wedges, I tried them on in store. A friendly store associate told me to try the 8.5 versus my usual size 9 since they do stretch and I had some room. I’ve already worn these espadrilles on two occasions and almost half a day on my feet and no blisters or sores to report. Now, that is saying a lot considering I’m holding a baby 75% of the time! Besides comfort, the price point is below $80, and a perfect spring shoe. The only con would be, I wish the shoe came in more colors and different heights. I chose the gray since the color was really flattering with my skin tone and versatile to be worn with spring whites and classic blacks. What’s cool is that, at 4 1/4″ height and 1″ platform, you don’t feel the height and it is incredibly flattering. Especially worn with dresses or jeans.

If you were hesitant, get this! When you buy Treasure & Bond, Nordstrom will donate 2.5% of net sales to organizations that work to empower youth. How cool is that? I love when a company gives back. Also, this sandal has 625 reviews, most of which say these are incredibly COMFORTABLE and they wished they purchased these earlier. I know because I read most of those comments. Convincing me to order the tan ones as well. What do you think?

These are products I use and LOVE!

Before tanning, always exfoliate with a body brush. The Tan Luxe tan drops I add to my favorite moisturizer, and cover evenly.

Tan Towels are kind of an all in one. I always exfoliate before applying, I never put it on my face (since my face is sensitive), and always wash my hands after applying it.

The Vitamin C Serum quenches your skin in so many ways. I credit an even skin tone and glow to this product.

The Airbrush finish when applied to the T-zone, gives a mattifying look. I love the “finished” look this gives.

Summer Fridays face mask when applied to a clean face, leaves skin dewy and moisturized in just 10 min. No need to rinse. Also, it comes in a mini size if you don’t want to pay $50, and curious to see what the buzz is all about.

Spring is in the air and so is the pollen, so my allergies have been crazy! On a positive note, I’m loving these kitten bow heels, flares, and peasant top. All of which are versatile for spring and I’m loving each piece.

Which is your favorite?

To those asking how to shop things I’m wearing, here are the easiest ways: Shop all my looks on my “shop my instagrams” tab, visit my shop page for things I’m currently crushing on, or download the free “Liketoknow.it app” and follow me “shalicenoel.” The app is so cool because you get instant links to items I feature and wear, there’s a place to “heart” your favorite items, and shop using the search engine. I use both often! I warn you, it’s a little dangerous.

Happy Tuesday!

I’ve always been a fan of Nordstrom. From their amazing customer service, awesome selection of top hot brands, rad sales and even a nursing room at their very welcoming stores. I ask myself what is not to love? But I ask, have YOU ever experienced their services? Recently, I used one of their many services I had never tried. I had my pants altered – FREE for cardholders. I wanted a white crop pant to be a little more cropped so I could show off my ankle straps. Done in as little as 10 min and they ask you when you need them. Can you say EASY?

Also, as a mom, the curbside pick up is LIFE. Especially when you have 4 little shoppers and 4 opinions in the backseat. This is how curbside works: a lovely Nordstrom employee brings my bags to the car once I drive up to the entrance and dial the 800 #. All I do is pop my trunk and wave, “thank you.” Easy as pie. And even better, zero sugar drama and kids begging for balloons, new shoes and the dreaded question, “can we get a new Lego?”

THANK YOU NORDSTROM!

Honestly, Nordstrom has everything and makes it so easy to shop no matter what your price point is. So, the next time you need something for yourself, your child, a gift for a friend or something for your husband (Father’s Day will be here before we know it!), head to Nordstrom – you’ll wonder why you never shopped there before!

The weekend is over and it’s time to get back to work. I’m working on refreshing some basics for the spring. For example, I never buy enough white tees, denim shorts, and dresses. I’ve collected some of my favorites for you below.

For as long as I can remember, I have always loved wide leg pants. It’s the only thing besides a blazer that makes me feel like a true boss. I found these pants for a crazy price point recently and felt like I wouldn’t be a friend if I didn’t share. We are headed to Lake Arrowhead this weekend to enjoy the long Easter weekend. I’d be lying if I didn’t say I miss family and worry Levi doesn’t have any grandparents nearby. But thankful for this time of growth for our family and that HE IS RISEN! There is hope in the midst of whatever you are facing.

Wear the same color bottom (pants) as the top, it’s more flattering

Wear nude sandals or heels, they elongate the legs

Avoid super salty foods that makes you hold onto water

Fact: Everyone looks better with a tan (I find tan towels or towelettes easier to use but everyone has a different tanning favorite)

Happy Easter!

Outfit details: maxi dress similar // sandals // cutoffs // tank // Fendi tote similar // earrings

I was scoring the web for a vintage gently used Fendi zucca print. I thought I wanted a small cocktail size, until I saw this larger tote on eBay, I knew it was love at first sight. I made an offer to the seller and within hours heard back that she agreed. SOLD. I was SO excited. This size is perfect for our upcoming trip to Mexico. Large enough to fit diapers, wallet, chapstick, phone and will look great lounging by the pool with me, baby and as much guac and chips I can possibly order. After all, it’s not Mexico without eating as much guac and chips as possible. I styled the outfit around this vintage Fendi bag. I love how versatile this maxi dress is. For instance, unbuttoned it doubles as a kimono duster, how cool is that? I paired it with cutoffs, tank, and neutral cage heels. I’ve also styled a smaller Fendi bag here. What do you think?

I linked some similar Fendi bags from eBay below:

The other day we were off to art class, I had dry cleaning to pick up, dinner in question on the countertop, a test to prep my 5th grader for, appointments yet to be confirmed, and all the while, nursing my 6 mos old. Life is FULL my friends. The last thing I need is a complicated outfit. While I most likely will be sporting flats when I’m with the kids, I can at least prepare for a date night in these leg elongating nude heels. I was recently searching online for a good jumpsuit that was 1. nursing friendly and 2. have a wide leg, aka the simplest outfit! This jumpsuit fit the bill on both accounts! Bonus, it is 25% off with code EVENT19. Jump to it!

Happy (almost) Friday!
