4 Ways to Upgrade your Wardrobe using Pieces You already Own

by Shalice Noel August 19, 2018

Teal Feather Earrings (I also love these) // Gold Bracelet(confession: I haven’t taken this off in days) //

Earrings: Lotus in gold – love!

1. Wear statement earrings with your LBD, I always get compliments when I wear them!

2. Knot your favorite white blouse with dark or light skinny jeans.

3. Play with proportion: Wear a trench coat with your favorite cutoffs.

4. Weird weather have you confused about what to wear? Pair a camisole with a cardigan and cutoffs or a maxi skirt.

Some days I overthink an outfit and end up just going back to the basics I know and love like cutoffs and a trench or a statement piece of jewelry like these Kendra Scott earrings.

One thing I love about Kendra Scott is how she merges fashion and philanthropy. She gives back and really practices what she preaches. You can book a “Kendra Gives Back Party” and a portion of the proceeds goes to a charity of your choosing. Isn’t that amazing? I love a brand that makes a quality product and also wants to give back and do good.

Here I’m wearing these gold leaf statement earrings and turquoise feather earrings I find myself grabbing over and over again. Whether you’re headed out for school PTA meetings, a job interview or date night, sometimes you just need an accessory that brings the whole outfit up a notch.

written by Shalice Noel

I have some very exciting news today! I’m giving away an Ann Howell Bag! All you have to do to enter is . . .

1. Follow me and @annhowellbullard on IG,

2. Tag a friend on Instagram

3. Comment below on this post which bag you’d like. I worked with Ann back when I was living in Chicago and she had just started her business. I fell in love with her bold graphics. See my first post with her here. Such a fun flashback!

She now sells them at Anthropologie and I’ll admit, it was hard to find a favorite because they’re all so beautiful. Here I styled her circular stripe bag with a black maxi, stripe top knotted as a crop top, pink duster and pink loafers. See 8 of her styles below.

How would you style yours?

by Shalice Noel August 12, 2018

written by Shalice Noel

gucci loafers(fit TTS)// jeans only $78 (I sized up)// long tee (I’m wearing a small and love the length!)// trench (I’m wearing a small)// medium satchel (also converts to a mom-friendly backpack!)

4 Things you need for fall

This look is the perfect combination of something unique like the Ann Howell bag and all my closet basics. And speaking of basics, Nordstrom has the best options—I’m loving these Gucci loafers, long tunic, flattering jeans, Bella band, and mom-friendly bag slash backpack. Nordstrom is always my go-to for quality basics like these, awesome customer service, and options for curbside pick-up. The latter of which I will probably use when I have a nursing baby!

How to Buy Authentic Luxury Items off eBay 101

Rebecca Minkoff Bag // Similar Bags Below

Cute Jeans

As you probably know by now, eBay is a place I visit frequently for lots of designer products. Because who doesn’t love an amazing deal? This mama does, that’s for sure. I’ve scored A LOT of amazing things on eBay and I’m often asked how, specifically, “how do you know it’s authentic?” This is a totally valid question, especially in the world of online shopping. You never want to be in the position where you’re expecting a specific quality of product, but what arrives at your door doesn’t match the pictures or the price you paid.

If you’ve ever wanted to shop on eBay, but have let this fear hold you back, don’t worry! I’ve got you covered with five tips that’ll leave you wondering why you didn’t start shopping on eBay sooner!

How to buy authentic luxury items off eBay 101

1. If it’s too good to be true, it probably is. It can be hard to turn away from what appears to be the perfect item. The best thing to do in these instances, though, is listen to your instincts and not buy the product.

2. Research the seller and read his/her feedback. This may feel a little time consuming, but it’s worth it to avoid buying an inauthentic product. Reviews from other buyers can be very telling, so take the time to vet sellers.

3. Compare pricing. Again, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I recommend browsing around and trying to find multiple options of whatever it is you’re looking for. This way you can compare what the sellers are asking for and then compare it to what it retails for. If there’s one option that’s significantly lower, be skeptical.

4. Note where the item is coming from. For example, if a product is coming from Hong Kong, China, Taiwan or anywhere international, I usually skip that seller and keep looking. I’ve only ever purchased from US sellers. The location of the seller can be a major red flag for authenticity, so pay close attention to this.

5. Don’t be shy about asking the seller for a serial number or receipt. I’ve found it really helpful to speak with the seller before I bid with any additional questions I may have. You have nothing to lose by doing this. Most are very kind and offer up any and all details about the product they’re selling.

If you’re still hesitant about taking on these tips, take a look at eBay Authenticate!

Happy bidding!

Lunch with SoYoung Inc

by Shalice Noel October 4, 2017

written by Shalice Noel

One of the things I appreciate most about my kids is their unique creativity. They each have their own traits, personality, and likes, and it’s been cool watching that evolve as they get older. Especially as the younger ones come out of their shell and have their own voice and style that’s different from their bigger brother or sister. Super cute!

So when I let them pick out their own SoYoung Inc. lunch boxes, it was a fun experiment to see them each choose a design. They were very excited to have their own, and that they weren’t all matching (which tends to happen when you’re buying multiples of something).

And as a mom who is constantly cleaning up after them (why are boys sooo messy?!), I love that these are raw linen and machine washable. Plus, they’re eco-friendly, so we’ve welcomed them with open arms in our house. No more brown bags for us.

I actually have my own, too, since they make adult versions. Great for when I’m working or on the go. Aren’t they cool? Officially bringing back the lunch boxes, but in a modern, way cooler way. If you’re curious to try a bag, use code “Shalice15%” to get 15% off your purchase!

The Perfect Fall Boot Børn x Zappos

by Shalice Noel September 28, 2017

written by Shalice Noel

Sponsored by Zappos

“Fannar boots” from Børn :: blouse L’Academie :: skirt Zara :: sunnies Chloe

When it comes to getting ready, I keep two things in mind: comfort and style. As a mom of four, it’s common sense that I need to be able to run around all day, but I’m not one to sacrifice style while doing so (well, most days).

With fall slowly creeping in, I’m officially pulling out the fall wardrobe staples, including these børn boots. They’re perfect to pair with dresses and skirts for this seasonal transition that we’re in, at least in LA, and I’m looking forward to wearing them over jeans and leggings once it truly cools down.

I especially love the lived-in color these have. And with the heel being pretty small, I can honestly walk for miles and still feel comfortable. Expect to see me in these throughout 2018!

See more Børn shoes from Zappos HERE. I just love how fast the shipping process is and the friendliest customer service. I mean, how good is their selection. I can get kids rain boots and the hottest boots for myself, all in one site at Zappos.

What are you excited to wear this fall?

‘IT’ Bag With rag & bone

by Shalice Noel September 17, 2017

written by Shalice Noel

The It Bag

I love a bag I can wear both as a clutch and a handbag and this one from rag & bone fits the bill. Super soft, thick strap, and I’ve already used it for quick errands and day dates with the hubby. With military roots seen throughout the new rag & bone campaign, it is no secret this messenger bag is as rugged as it is chic. This 100% calf skin cross-body still holds my everyday essentials (from almonds to chapstick to my huge iPhone charger). I usually veer away from evening bags since I need lots of versatility as a mom, also known as a bag that can take the wear and tear of mom life, hello stains and crumbs. However, I think the slight stains will only add to its character. That is the sign of a GREAT bag.

4 LA Hotspots with Mercedes AMG

written by Shalice Noel

I had the opportunity to drive around Los Angeles in a Mercedes AMG convertible with a driver from Germany and photographer. I won’t lie, it wasn’t my worst job and I spent the day smiling (despite the LA traffic) with my hair blowing in the wind. Our goal was to visit as many LA hotspots as possible in this beautiful ocean blue Mercedes AMG convertible. Who knew LA had so many instagrammable spots? Actually you probably guessed it is FULL of photogenic hotspots, but we only had half a day, so I included 4 below. What are some of your favorites? I’d love to hear.

:: Mercedes AMG C63 in ocean blue ::

white pants SIMILAR :: blue top SIMILAR ::

white off the shoulder top SIMILAR :: cutoffs FRAME :: heels SIMILAR :: black jeans NSF

BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL – 9641 Sunset Blvd, 5 star LA hotel aka “The Pink Palace” is home to bar Nineteen12 and a pool where you are sure to capture a Kodak moment.

RODEO DRIVE – Beverly Hills, start at Sunset Blvd, end at Beverwil Drive, for iconic classics like Fendi and Louis Vuitton buildings.

THE BROAD MUSEUM – 221 South Grand Ave, a must see contemporary art museum.

Pink Cashmere and Rips

Pink Cashmere

cropped jeans :: blush heels similar :: v-neck sweater :: bag

It’s crazy to think living in LA, but few things I love to wear more than anything is a comfy sweater. This one is cashmere, pink and a gorgeous v-neck. I love it with jeans or dressed up with trousers. Nordstrom carries an awesome assortment of choice rag & bone pieces beyond this awesome knit. What to look for you ask? I’m loving their tweed, gorgeous jeans (read more here), booties, and of course cashmere. I’ve gotten countless compliments on this sweater both for its shade of pink and oversize fit – perfect over jeans for that I rolled-out-of-bed-and-headed-to-brunch-kinda-chic. The look that we all secretly want, right? As for styling tips, I paired it with blush heels and clear aviators. Have you seen their sweatpants? Hello weekend chic. What’s your go-to comfy look?

rag & bone favorites

by Shalice Noel August 25, 2017

written by Shalice Noel

dre jeans :: sweater similar :: boots :: small field messenger

You probably guessed it already because yeah, they’re awesome, but I’m wearing one of my favorite pairs of jeans this fall from cult jean company, rag & bone. Somehow they always manage to stun us with their shapes, stripes and denim washes, but really? We all know what really matters when it’s all said and done, and that is the Fit. When you look at it that way, knowing that they have one of the best fits out there (and that’s saying something) and then look at the perfect distressing, cut-out details and overall awesomeness, it is not surprising to know that rag & bone has a crazy cult following. Who knew 98% cotton and 2% polyurethane is the recipe for that coveted fit? No fail, perfect hug every time. And maybe a little more hug after Taco Tuesday. Just saying.

I’m wearing the 10-ounce stretch Japanese denim slim fit boyfriend jeans in the dark but not too dark medium indigo wash with my calf suede booties with the 3.5″ heel. You’ll find me wearing these with booties, or pumps with a blazer for meetings, or platform sneakers for park dates. The key to versatility is quality basics that just get better with time. And yes, after one pair of their jeans, you just may want another pair.
