Early access to the Shopbop sale starts today! Two things I love about this retailer is they carry all the top brands and they have super fast shipping! Before you get overwhelmed, my biggest piece of advice is, if you’re eying something and its in your size, act fast! I’ve regretted many a purchase because I overthought it. Another tip is this is a great time to splurge on what I call an “investment buy” – the leather jacket, Chanel dupes or great denim that you will wear over and over!

Nautical but Nice

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

We’re coming up on spring and all I can think about is the nautical trend. Don’t sail much? You don’t have to! I love it for casual spring days when I’m wanting to add some stripes to my look. They add just a bit of nautical flair, especially with that pretty blue color. Nautica is such a classic brand that has mastered this style, so I always check out what new items they have around this time of year. I love that I can wear this dress with heels for a meeting or sneakers for soccer practice. How do you like to incorporate a little sailor vibe into your look?

Thank you NAUTICA for sponsoring this post!

Valentine’s Day- 10 Ways to Improve Your Relationship

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

dress (it’s under $100!) // heels // similar jacket //  “H” belt

 

For Valentine’s Day I thought I’d share 10 Ways to Improve Your Relationship. After nearly 11 years of marriage, (yes 11!) our relationship is a work in progress but a hundred times better than day one, year one, and everything in between. I’m definitely thanking God for his grace in our lives! Read on:

1. This may seem little, but say thank you for little things. Like if he cleaned dishes before they left for work, text them “THANK YOU,” write them a short note on a post-it, or leave them their favorite chocolate by their keys. Saying thank you is the balm to sometimes intense moments. Just stop everything and do it.

2. Say Sorry, it’s so hard to do, but seriously you must. Give each other grace and don’t expect your partner to be perfect. After all, you aren’t.

3. Take an interest in his hobby. He likes to workout, I like to shop and we found we both like to coffee shop hop. Yay! Don’t try and change his interests and hobbies, rather take an interest and count that as quality time together.

4. Give 100%, expect 90%. On the plane on our way to Hawaii for our honeymoon, an old lady who sat next to us told us to give 100% in marriage, and expect 90%.

5. Don’t take each other too seriously, give grace and work hard.

6. Time Together – make dates a priority. This is especially important after you’ve had kids! Whether we have a one hour window to get coffee or a working lunch date, or date night at home with the kids in bed early, its really important to ask each other how they’re doing. It’s the LIFEBLOOD of our relationship.

7. Make the bed, haha I try and do this and it really helps. It’s the little things right?

8. Words of encouragement when we were first married, I would put notecards in his briefcase. Now, I’m more likely to send a verse in an email or text to encourage him.

9. Declutter this is hard for me, since I blog I have lots of products coming, going and laying around. One of my goals in 2018 to be better about spring cleaning. This means a lot to my spouse so when I do declutter, I’m loving him. And when I’ve had a nutty day, he gets it and helps me clean up.

10.  When in doubt, do a check- up and read the love verse: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. I Cor 13:4-5

Happy Valentine’s Day to you and yours! Read more about our engagement and anniversary here and here. What are some ways you have found that work to improve your relationship?

Q & A – Tea with me

Using Accessories to Dress Up a Laid-Back Look

Who has tried the baker boy hat trend? I’m loving it for spring weather! Hats are one of my absolute favorite accessories. And speaking of accessories, I love using them to spice up a really laid back look.

 

With these cotton, cropped joggers and this completely adorable and super chunky sweater, I needed something to spice it up and make it feel a little less winter-cozy. Spring is almost here and pink moments like the baker boy hat and these amazing flats are necessary. If you’re in the market for some cute slides with a statement bow, I highly recommend.

Grab a cup of tea and read some  FAQ this week some of you submitted. I love receiving them! 

What non TV activity do you like your kids to do?

Puzzles! One of our sitters got us hooked on them. The brand Ravensburger is my favorite. My sister got me into them and you can buy them on Amazon.

What is your nacho seasoning recipe I saw on IG Stories?

Good question! Here it is adapted from this site:

1/4 cup coconut oil

1/2 cup white popcorn (I prefer white over yellow popcorn for the taste)

1/4 cup nutritional yeast

1 tsp salt

1 tsp Ground Paprika

1/2 tsp Garlic powder

1/2 tsp Onion powder

1/2 tsp Chili powder 

1/4 tsp Ground Cumin

1/8 tsp Cayenne Pepper

Optional: I add brown sugar and grape seed oil to taste. So yummy, my kids love it!

When your kids are sick of protein pancakes, what do you make for breakfast?

Puffed Pancakes, click HERE for my foolproof recipe! Reid makes it on the weekends – he doesn’t cook but he makes these, that’s how easy it is!

Why are you not going to NYFW?

Honestly, if I had a for me to travel and leave the family, it takes a village! Like last year, I had more work here in LA than NYC, and frankly, it’s hard to leave the LA weather.

What is your go-to daily moisturizer, I’m in the market! Also what was the retinol A cream your facialist recommended?

My daily moisturizer is TULA, use SHALICE for 20% off, and my facialist recommended this cream.  She also was happy that I use LED spa device! She said the results are great when you stay consistent with it. She asked how I made time to use the LED light and I said I do it while drinking coffee, brushing my teeth, making omelettes and let’s be real, isn’t every mom trained to do everything with one hand?? LOL.

Will you be showing more of the A Frame Cabin?

Yes, we are uploading a You Tube video now if the before pictures as well as our plans. Subscribe Here so you don’t miss out!

Thanks for sending in your questions and reading this! We are spending half the weekend at the cabin putting cabinets together and girls night for me! Hope you have a lovely weekend!

Spring’s Hottest Trench

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

\

I’m currently obsessing with the color blush. It’s perfect for spring and makes me feel refreshed. You know what else is great for spring? A trench. The jacket I’m wearing here from Alice + Olivia is like trench meets floor length blazer. It’s such a fun look for brunch with the girls or errands on the weekend.

 

Temps in LA are always running high, but for the rest of the world this jacket is ideal for that awkward in between weather. You know, it’s not quite hot, but it’s definitely not cold either. Also perfect for this kind of weather? Breaking out the strappy, pastel heels. I love these because of the block, which makes it way more comfortable for daily wear. And of course, the height is great for daytime as well.

 

What’s your favorite way to start dressing for spring?

Luxe Accessories Worth Investing In

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

 

crop jeans and similar // v- neck tee // mega scarf // boots (hurry, they’re 30% off!) // sunglasses // bag

 

I love taking a really affordable pair of jeans and a $20 tee, in this case, a 2 pack for $72, and dressing them up with some of my favorite luxury accessories. It’s a go-to look of mine that I use to dress up some of the most casual outfits.

 

Whenever someone asks me what I think the best pieces are to invest in, I always say accessories. You can usually get more wear out of them and style them all kinds of different ways. For example, the look I’m wearing here is loaded with all my favorite accessories, but the outfit itself is just a simple pair of jeans and basic tee.

 

The CHLOE bag is no doubt a statement. The red is bright, fun and perfect for spring leading into summer. The sunnies, an LA staple, get so much use and have already paid for themselves. The boots, a personal favorite of mine that I try to sneak in to as many outfits as possible, are [brand name]. In a classic camel color like this you really can’t go wrong. Last, but certainly not least, the scarf. A classic Burberry accessory that’s perfect for when LA finally gets a cool down.

What accessories do you think give you the most bang for your buck?

How I Style Red pants

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

 

 

 

red pants c/o ALICE + OLIVIA // studded boots // blouse // sunglasses // chloé bag c/o FARFETCH and similar

You already know I’m obsessed with red and, well, wide leg pants for that matter as well! I really think nothing packs so much of a punch as wide leg pants in the color red. They just kind of make a statement, don’t they?

I was attending an event in Beverly Hills last week and needed a chic, sophisticated outfit without too much frill or layering. They’re a great option for when you need something slightly more formal, but don’t want to go over the top. Perfect balance! Also, I don’t need to remind you, it’s been a steady 80 degrees around LA, and this outfit fit the bill. I linked below some additional options for Valentine’s Day as well as some of my favorite red pants.

Who loves the wide leg fit as much as me?

Red pants from cropped to wide leg to flared, they’re sure to make a statement! I give  every price point from $31 to $500!

 

White Tops are so flattering. I love how this front tie works for high waisted pants and everything in between. It looks cute dressed down with jeans as well!

 

More Small Bags – Anyone else as obsessed with small bags as I am? I usually put my favorite lip treatment and credit card in them and I’m off. It’s nice to give the mom bag (and your back) a day off.

 

As always, my shop page is open 24/7 and sign up for my newsletter on my homepage to stay up to date!

7. Hobo Wallet I recently purchased this wallet and I’m obsessed. So much room!
I have had so many friends and followers message me about what to bring or buy to a warm weather getaway. Living in LA, and not being far from a beach or pool, here are some of my top picks and things in my beach bag. Don’t forget SPF, a good book, and leave your worries at the beach. I always bring my go-to cutoffs and a bunch of black and white tanks to mix and match.
 
Shop more swimsuits below. There are a lot on sale right now, like this stripe one-piece I just ordered, hurry up sizes are limited.
After all, they say, happiness comes in waves. Happy Friday!

Our Family Getaway: Rancho Mirage

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

We had the opportunity last week to go as a family to The Ritz Carlton Rancho Mirage in Palm Springs.  The brand ASbyDF invited us to stay for two nights and feature some of their gorgeous new arrivals. Needless to say, it was a beautiful desert getaway with so many amenities and natural beauty surrounding us. To name a few, the separate kids pool and adults vista pool, the spa (I got a facial) , Reid hit the gym and club lounge. The latter of which really made the trip.  The Club Lounge provides breakfast, lunch, snacks and drinks from 7 – 10 at night.  Our room happened to be a couple doors down from the club lounge. So convenient and we goofed around in their for a little while. Our special last night, we ate dinner at State, a restaurant within the hotel. We enjoyed decadent burgers, steaks and excellent kids menu.  Oh and the kids finished their plates, thanks to the full day of swimming. As a special treat, the kids were invited into the kitchen to meet the chef, so cool!  They couldn’t believe the full size pig getting ready for a roasting.  If you’re planning a trip to Rancho Mirage, don’t miss these things:

STAR GAZING starts at 6:30, see the bright stars (If the weather permits…it usually does) and meanwhile enjoy a milky way candy bar.

HIKING you can go hiking around the hotel and nearby Indian Canyon. If we had more than 2 days, we would have loved to hike!

POOLS and hot tubs, we enjoyed the kids pool but there’s also a beautiful adult only pool with a spectacular view.

THE SPA you can use their hot tubs till 7:30 that day of service.

THE GYM has gymnastic rings and battle ropes for some HIIT (High Intensity Impact Training)

Have you been to Palm Springs or Rancho Mirage? Let me know in the comments below. And we are re-vamping the blog, so feel free to share what you’d like to see more of — stay tuned!

4 Classics For Every Closet

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

There are 4 classics every closet needs.

A good stripe sweater – I prefer it to have mostly white, I’m wearing a small here

A red Trench

A red heel

Cropped jeans (they highlight the shoes better) I’m wearing a 2p here

I’ve been clearing out my closet A LOT lately so pairing things down to just the basics is très importantè. These four classics I name “classics” only because I keep going back to them. I even dress my kids in stripes – I cannot get enough. Nothing is better than topping it off with a red trench. What I love about Talbots is consistent great quality and some lovely pieces. See my other post wearing Talbots here and here.  Which is your favorite piece? All the best! xx Shalice
