November 2, means its 53 days till Christmas day, Can you believe it? While it may seem too early to shop Christmas, you should! Things will sell out faster this year due to more people shopping online than years past. I rounded up some favorites from liquid collagen, to UGG wedge boots, to essential hair ties, comfy pj’s that are cute enough to wear to the coffee shop with a trench or wool coat, clean beauty lip jellies, and Nest Christmas candle to get you in the spirit.

Father’s Day is fast approaching and Reid is REALLY good at knowing exactly what he wants for Father’s day. He will probably check in later this week and ask if I ordered anything off this list above. He’s so predictable. I think most of us could agree, men are sometimes THE HARDEST to buy gifts for. Above we have an outfit, styling paste, laptop bag, and the pre-workout Reid swears by for you to peruse. What are you getting your husband or father?

Use code FATHER19 for 30% off Mango men’s selection, have you checked it out?

1 graphic tee // 2. sun dress 3. beach hat 4. tan towels // 5. shorts // 6. wrap dress // 7. kimono // 8. denim shorts // 9. sandals

Spring break is just around the corner. Whether you’re living la vida loca or enjoying a staycation, a new swim suit or sundress may be in order. I’m loving these sandals with just enough embellishment to make them special and this graphic tee. The latter reminds me of a panama jack yellow tee I used to fight over with my sisters and being the youngest girl, I didn’t always come up on top.

Style tip, knot the graphic tee over the swimsuit, or use a light wrap to wear over a swimsuit so it looks like a bodysuit. Next tip, look better in whatever you wear with a ‘fake tan.’ I use tan towels for my body and this serum for my face (I buy “medium” and don’t use tan towels on my face since my face is more sensitive).

Whether you’re home or away, I hope it’s relaxing and you enjoy a good book and the ones you love most! We will likely be at Lake Arrowhead enjoying the lake and pine trees.

Happy Humpday!

Some years, we go super practical and get the kids ski gear or duffle coats for Christmas. This year, were doing a little of both! No shame in that right? Of course we get the girly make up and Legos (the latter much to my chagrin). I also love a bow and arrow set for the bows – see here. Also, I gathered more coats below. And these duffles are 30% off!

Happy Shopping!

Happy Almost Thanksgiving! And did you know its only 36 days till Christmas? Let’s face it: the hardest people on your list is your Dad, Grandpa, and/or husband/boyfriend. Am I right? At least this is the case for myself. Perplexed with the flood of online choices, I asked Reid to help me out and round up some of his ALL TIME favorites from his favorite jeans to headphones, to tees that match our boys. Hope this list helps you prepare for the ones you love. May you bless them with your thoughtful gifts, and when in doubt, add a handwritten note.

Grace and Peace,

Shalice

Airport Style

by Shalice Noel
1. Tee
3. Cardigan (this cardi is like a hug)

4. Summer Fridays Mask

5. Joggers (I wore a small)

Whether you’re heading East or West Home, or staying in, you won’t be able to pass up these tried and true basics that work for airport style or pancake duty. I used these sunglasses while we were traveling since they actually stayed on my head during airport security with 7 people! I also love this face spray that comes in a travel friendly size to lock in the moisture. To fight dehydration, using a maskduring the flight is a must. As for luggage, we had the boys share a carryon bag from AWAY and the girls shared a carryon AWAY bag. This eliminated too many bags and avoided silly bag fees. More gift guides to prepare you for the holidays and forthcoming info on our family in Kauai. Stay tuned!

I’m the last minute lazy Susan when it comes to cool hot gifts. This time of year has a way of overwhelming me and at the same time craving for some off-the-grid cabin time with my family. More on that later. Meanwhile, below are some things I’m genuinely wanting (or already purchase for myself haha) and that you can get and gift. Whether your friend or sister is a traveler, fashionista, homebody or beauty junkie, there is something for everyone. And who doesn’t want sweet dreams on a silk pillowcase?

1. WEEKENDER BAG This bag looks leather but its vegan! Amazing.

 

2. HAT This shape of hat is super flattering and great for days you don’t wash your hair. 

 

3. SILK PILLOWCASE I’m on day 2, and my kids already tried to steal it. It’s the little luxuries in life right?

 

4. BRONZER in “laguna.” I use this for SoCal winters when I’m not as tan. Also a make up artist told me to use it on my eyelids like eye shadow. Love!

 

5. MUG Every year Anthropologie comes out with another adorable mug, I usually buy one for myself and one for a friend. They make  mornings better.

 

6. ROBE in grey. Any robe in the softest material is a win. Need I say more?

 

7. YOUTH OIL, smells and feels amazing, need any further convincing? Just try it out yourself and see

 

 

8. COZY SOCKS in grey polka dot. I wear these around the house. Tip, exfoliate your fee than put on foot lotion and these socks. It’s like a mini spa treatment for your hardest working feet.
