There’s little you can’t wear with fringe. That’s why I love The Bucket Bag—Burberry’s equally versatile and elegant fringe addition to their new Fall line. It fits everything from after school snacks to my oversize wallet, and I’m loving it with over-the-knee boots. It comes in elderberry and will complement Fall’s fresh palette—from black to browns, to even pinks. Yes, I’m a fan. I just can’t wait to pair it with orange. No rules.

Thank you, Burberry, for sponsoring this post!

Bootie SÖFFT
Dress TOPSHOP
Faux Fur Vest TOPSHOP
Hat HINGE
Pavé ring BAUBLEBAR

There’s something fun and chic about a fringe tunic (on repeat) and faux fur vest.  Simple and easy. And what better pairing than two-toned brown boots?  I’m really digging the ankle detail and plan on packing them for NYFW. I’m always on the lookout for a bootie that I can actually walk (and chase kids in). Now, back to packing. . .

written by Shalice Noel
8 Fall Faves (some I own, some I want)
1. This fall, it’s all about the suede skirt. Thumbs up. Also loving this one in real suede. Worn here.
2. A pointed toe wedge bootie that feels like a flat. Bonus.
3. A dress you should have in your closet come fall? An easy shift. Key word: easy.
 
 
4. A white lace up top that’s crazy versatile. And did I mention like twenty bucks?
5. Four words: OTK BOOTS that compliments the above shift.
6. A denim lace up tunic with a gazilion options for fall. From flats and leggings to OTK boots.
7. This pullover in rust. For the comfort you want, but looks effortless.
 
8. The hat I keep on wearing. And wearing.

A good dress is really your best friend come fall. It’s the foundation for so many options, from hand–stitched kantha wraps to faux leather leggings to a covetable vegan leather jacket. Options are what keep your wardrobe versatile, fun and budget–friendly. This dress accommodates both the sudden chilly nights (I sometimes hide leather leggings in my bag) and indian summer days. And how great is a dress with booties? If you’ve followed me for some time, you know I come back to the same items many times over, because I’ve tested them and they’ve proven to yield many stylish options. Well the dress, faux leather leggings and black hat, even Ray-Bans and lip stain are my go-to’s. And yes, they’re usually from Nordstrom, since I tend to return for their personal–touch customer service and price matching, and I’m rarely disappointed. Bring on all the prints, faux leather, chilly nights and lingering indian summer days, I’ve got just the right dress.

I’ll be the first to admit that I sacrifice comfort for style, and oftentimes with regret. However, thanks to Børn doing what they do best, I no longer have to! The Mcmillan from Børn is a comfortable, edgy moto boot that goes with just about everything. One of the reasons why I love Børn: comfort + style. I tested both the McMillan and Gillian while pushing a stroller around Bucktown and Wicker Park, catching dinner at Penny’s, chasing the boys at the the park, and zipping around the house for a last minute clean-up for company. I am glad to say they passed with flying colors. These boots will come in handy in the coming months when I’ll be dying for some comfortable boots to sport in the chilly days. No doubt about it, I’m a little obsessed with fall. Winter? Yeah, not so much. But in the meantime, I’m drinking in this fall weather.

This week, school started and besides getting used to the drop-off and pick-up routine, I’m gravitating to one piece style solutions, a lá The Poncho. It’s like a stylish hug on a crisp morning. No seriously, and don’t forget the panama hat to hide the inevitable 8am bed head. Score! I love the Free People line because it’s the drama of bold patterns and colors but without the drama of looking like your neighbor. If you’re not fortunate enough to have a Free People store by you, Nordstrom carries it all.  From dresses to ponchos to vegan leather jackets and this chambray (that’s next on my list), it’s a one-stop-shop at Nordstrom and I get excited just thinking about it. I love fall. And thanks to this easy poncho, you’ll be dressed faster than it takes your toddler to find his shoes. That’s a win in my book.

{style} Back to School with Mac & Mia

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel
Mug shot
I’m often asked what are my favorite children’s clothing lines? While I don’t really have one specific label I really love, a curated children’s clothing service makes my life easier! Namely, back to school, a Christmas card shoot or vacation wardrobe. No, seriously. Why haven’t they come up with this sooner? Mac & Mia are on the ball, y’all. It’s a great way to skip the boutique and still get hand-picked, unusual, environmentally responsible threads. And as a side note, let’s be honest. Some of my worst fights with my girls are over getting them to wear what I want them to wear. This starts too early! So, it was a relief that everything in the box was liked by them and approved by me. Amen.

 

How it works:

 

1. Go HERE and click the green button “Get Started,” create an account, and enter your credit card info. Then enter your child’s information and taste. I actually really enjoyed this part. I believe each of my children have a distinct taste and filling out the style profile let’s you express that. Whether they fall under classy or boho, preppy or sporty, have fun with it!

2. Your assigned stylist will send you 6-8 coordinating pieces using the information you entered.

3. Enclosed in the package is a FEDEX return label. Return what you don’t like, keep the rest. It’s that simple.

4 Ways to Fake Yourself into a Workout
Somtimes the best workout is the one you don’t know you’re having. Like chatting with your best friend on a bike and burning 240 calories. Try it sometime. While I prefer to chat at a coffee shop, the hubs prefers datenight at the gym. Not joking. Here are my preferred ways to fake myself into a 500 calorie burning fest while, dare I say, having fun?!
1. Go walk a shelter dog. For those local to Chicago, we volunteer here.
2. Visit the Art Museum. We love the Art Institute. It’s probably 100 steps to Van Gogh.
3. Rent a DIVVY and try a new bike trail
4. Join a running club. There’s nothing better than peer pressure to get you moving!

Bonus: Do it in neon. Light colors are shown to inspire us, improve our mood and practically speaking, make us more visable to moving traffic. And I’m loving the feminine straps on this cami, perfect to pair with a soft neon jacket and comfy capris. And don’t forget the stroller base that converts your BUGABOO to a jogger. It is genius for those impromptu runs with your neighbor where you discuss back-to-school stuff or that horrible morning you just had and you’re not even aware of the workout you’re getting. See my favorite not so mumsy diaper bag here (in blue) and my favorite stroller here and here.

{home} My Green Goddess Breakfast

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

Love these bowls and plates from ANTHROPOLOGIE

I’m often asked, How do you start your day? What’s your favorite breakfast? This is actually a really easy question to answer as I’ve had the same thing every morning for months. My kids like it, too, and none of us are sick of it  . . .  yet. I prep the night before with bananas on the brink of getting brown and fresh pineapple. Both I cut, place into ziploc bags, and freeze to make things easier. 
C‘est voilá. 
1 frozen banana
1 cup of frozen pineapple
1/2 clove garlic
1 tablespoon ginger
1 cup coconut water, or just water
A couple leaves of kale, collard greens, or chard
Place in a Vitamix or blender till smooth and enjoy.
