What to Wear to a Wedding

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

One of my faithful readers asked me to write a blog post on what to wear to a wedding. She had no idea what to wear to the multiple weddings she was planning to attend this summer, so I accepted the challenge. First off, not all weddings are created equal. The bride and groom can opt for anything from high-end evening city wedding to a backyard barbecue. And everything in between. Have no fear, I covered the basics for you to arrive appropriately chic. Here’s hoping you don’t steal the show.

BLACK TIE :: Bust out your maxi dress. Long and elegant is the name of the game. I like this one.

BACKYARD I would wear this dress from today’s blog post for this occasion. Try something fun: sheer (like this option), a bow, a stripe, and just have fun with it.

CITY Don’t be afraid to again go long and chic, streamline and lacey. Like this lace and sequin midi dress. Or this under $50 LBD that goes brilliantly with nude heels and faux fur.

CONSERVATIVE — opt for floral or a navy dress and midi length.

DESTINATION Let loose a little in an off-the-shoulder floral dress, floral midi, gingham, and ruffle off the shoulder knee length

I’m always looking for a chic Little Black Dress. It’s universally flattering and eternally classic, you simply cannot go wrong. And did I mention it’s under $100? Reid often requests simple dresses when we go out, so I was excited to find this one. I may even include a trench once the sun goes down. Happy weekend everyone!

Olive and Black for St Patricks Day

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

 

St Patrick’s Day marks our 10th wedding anniversary. How is it possible that a decade just came and went? More on that later. Meanwhile, I’m loving choker tees and this one is no exception. It’s soft, under $40, and can be dressed up or down, no necklace necessary, though I wore one out of habit. It also looks great with white denim for spring. What’s your go-to tee? Also, thank you to all of you who entered the sunglasses giveaway! All 5 winners will be notified via email.

6 Belts to Pull Any Outfit Together

Happy Friday! Here are 6 belts I’m loving now. They give that necessary pop to an outfit and I’m loving them over sweaters, dresses, and tunics. Sometime a little waist jewelry is all you need to pull an outfit together. A good belt adds structure to a loose tunic and gold detail to an otherwise neutral outfit. Because few looks such as a belt, jeans, sweater and trench pull off laissez-faire so well. How do you wear yours?

A simple Dress C&C CALIFORNIA shorter version or THIS ONE is on sale :: sneakers JOSHUA SANDERS LA version :: camel blazer BANANAREPUBLIC SIMILAR and THIS ONE on sale :: Fave leather jacket (on sale) OAK LA :: baseball cap NORDSTROM ::

4 steps to comfy chic: Start with a SIMPLE DRESS, sport a comfy SNEAKER, add a chic BLAZER, and finish it off with a BASEBALL HAT. How easy is that? And did I mention the dress is under $30? If you’re wondering how make a simple cotton dress more sophisticated? Add a blazer. The latter immediately adds a chic factor. I’m loving a camel and navy combination, but this blazer also works with this black dress. I believe when you’re comfortable, you’re sexy. Don’t overthink the details, invest in the basics and you’ll have countless outfits to choose from. Happy Tuesday!

One of my favorites, SHOPBOP, (they carry velvet sneakers and my trusty leather jacket you see in all my instagrams) is having their annual sale! It’s a great time to stock up. Save up to 25% off. Don’t forget to use code: GOBIG17. Shop my favorites below:

Weekend alert: Ruffle Sweaters

wearing IORANE sweater, similar via ASOS :: NORDSTROM  I like this under $40 option :: jeans L’AGENCE :: heels MIU MIU similar :: bag FURLA similar

I always loved sweaters, but especially ruffled sweaters. There’s something whimsical and feminine about a ruffled knit that I like to pair with rips or black raw hem jeans. Need some styling tips? I also love a ruffled sweater over a maxi dress and flats. Or wide leg pants and ruffled sweater. It gives raw rips that nouveau riche. What do you think? This weekend my mom comes so it’s a happy Friday indeed! See this post on ruffles for more inspiration.

How to Style Floral Pumps

Florals can sometimes be a closet conundrum. Full of potential, but you’re left without a clue as to how to wear them. As a stylist, the way to handle prints is this one fact: they compliment neutrals, denim, and monochrome pairings. Do try this at home. I like the pumps with a white dress or black jeans. See how I styled this gray sweater here. Do try this at home. Actually, I’m not joking, because they’re under $40 at Target. Speaking of exciting news, I’m super pumped (and nervous) to take over Who What Wear’s snapchat tomorrow, featuring how to style these floral pumps, tune in!

4 Photo Tips

  1. My hubby’s tip is: Cropping does wonders to a photo.
  2. What are my favorite Instagram photo editing tools? VSCO cam and Facetune
  3. Have your photographer take your pictures at a low angle, it’s usually more flattering
  4. Basics Walls allow outfits to pop. Find a good wall! I have two faves I love here in LA, they’re pretty ‘plain,’ but they allow the colors to pop.

Athleisure – DIET

by Shalice Noel

top and bottoms VARLEY :: ring NORDSTROM :: sneakers REEBOK :: camel coat SIMILAR 

The MOST requested topic has been DIET. While, I’m no expert, or dietician, Here’s what on my plate on an average day. I try and limit sugar and bread in my diet, although I believe in cheat days! Here’s a normal day minus birthday parties and taco Tuesday! Also, some key athletic apparel can not only motivate you to work out, but up your casual game. I show some of my favorites below. Don’t forget, a trench, a camel coat, and fun sneakers finish the look. So, without further adieu, here’s my everyday diet:

B : Pumpkin seed granola and almond milk (I buy the variety that is less than 7 grams of sugar) almond milk latte and a green smoothie consisting of kale, sometimes beet, frozen banana, frozen pineapple, coconut water, and chia seeds) * This combo changes daily to keep it interesting

L : Big kale salad, a couple cups of kale, sliced turkey, black olives, feta cheese, and homemade dressing: 

1/3 cup grapeseed oil, 3T balsamic vinegar, 3 T sugar, 1 t salt, 1 t crushed garlic,

D : Chicken and Rice – We have a family joke about how often we eat this combo, but you cannot deny how versatile and healthy it is. My kids are always asking, are we having chicken and rice again? I have a million varieties including a soup version. So good!

Snacks: Raw almonds (good protein and packed with wrinkle fighting vitamin E), avocados (antioxidents and tons of good fat), oranges or grapefruit (a great snack to boost vitamin C, and builds collagen, hello younger skin!)

+Keep drinking lots of water, green and dandelion tea in between meals will give you energy.

I also refer to this topic in a later post HERE on the blog.

Comment with any additional questions, comments and your favorite smoothie recipe! Here’s to a healthy 2017!
