Monday dreaming: a perfect beach outfit

Some of my favorite outfits are the simplest. Like this crop top and these split leg pants. It has me craving a tropical vacation, but in the meantime, I got a bunch of compliments from hubby and my kids as I frolicked in this outfit around the house. If anything, its a mood booster and comfy to walk around in. Don’t forget, the NSALE is open for buyers on Wednesday! I included my favorites below 😉 And if you’re curious, more HERE.

Basket bag (has interior pockets!) // Two- piece set Pant and Top // Sandals // Sunglasses // Bracelet

While I’d love to spend the week at the beach, were homebound aka holding off on vacation until we finish our kitchen. Cabinets come in September! As always, my shop page is open, 24/7. We’re filling up the inflatable pool, making mac and cheese and enjoying the last days of summer before we hit the books, Aug 28!

Above and below I compiled some pieces to pack for an exotic resort getaway or chic staycation. Style tip: a long necklace or bangle can instantly add chic to a swimsuit and coverup.

1HOTELS South Beach

by Shalice Noel February 21, 2017

written by Shalice Noel

Anytime you and your hubby are able to get away from the kids, you know it’s going to be great. But when you add in top service, luxury accommodations, and star treatment, you start to wonder if maybe you don’t need to go home? Staying at 1Hotels in Miami was that for us. From start to finish, we were greeted with great service, enthusiastic staff, and non-stop lobby treats. Lobby treats! It should be A Thing, everywhere. Did we mention our toughest decision was which pool to use? Our room was spacious, a gorgeous white, and had triple-filtered water and a dreamy shower.

And in the event that you mustered enough energy to leave the room or the pool, the hotel offered a (complimentary) driving service. After you took the required Selfie in the Tesla, you could shoot over to nearby restaurants like Oh Mehico (the guac!) and Whole Foods. There was also a spartan gym for those over-achievers who actually work out while on vacation, and a steam room for those who don’t. I spent some lovely minutes admiring both on my way to the pool.

A few tips to enhance your stay:

Ask the locals where to eat.

Walk if you can- you’ll get a great feel for the place

No shame ordering chicken fingers and fries by the pool. Vacation mode means you let up and enjoy time talking about the kids, school, work and life.

One night in LAGUNA

Since moving to CA, we have become avid beach goers. I mean, when in Rome, right? So after many weekends of beach-hopping, we polled the kids for the favorite beach. By this time we had visited about 6 beaches and not too surprising, Laguna Beach trumped the competition. Laguna is the most exotic of the beaches I have visited thus far, and it was easy to enjoy at Casa Laguna, where we stayed to attend the Gorjana store opening. It was a fun weekend getaway from the hustle of Los Angeles and the coffee on the veranda was a huge bonus. And the store had a photo-booth … you know, those contraptions where you put your kids in and you don’t see them for 10 hours straight? Yeah, so that was a bonus as well. After we peeled the kids away from the 52nd photo-booth picture, we hit the sack at the hotel so as to fit in a cold swim and some yummy breakfast the next morning before leaving. Thankfully, we got four sleepy heads on the long drive home and lots of memories. Can’t wait to go back!

4 Things to do in Laguna.

Victoria Beach – Lots of rock but seal sighting is normal, great views and surf
Casa Laguna pool – the pretty tile and lookout building was fun and romantic.
Banzai Bowl – acai bowls are so refreshing after a morning at the beach or afternoon swim. And my kids love them!
Zinc Cafe & Market – yummy almond milk lattes

by Shalice Noel March 28, 2016

written by Shalice Noel

swim cover up5 I like my swim cover to double as a top for when I want to grab breakfast at Urth Caffé with a friend or pick up my girls from school. I like options. And yes, I plan on wearing number 2, to both breakfast, school pick-up and Manhattan Beach, why not? What do you like to wear to the beach?

Shop my top 5 below:

1. This white and crochet jumpsuit by Anna Kosturova spells #MOMBOSS and ready for cocktails by the pool.

2. Not from the cover-up department, but this Free People top with pom pom’s should definitely be on the beach. Amen? One in every color PLEEEEESE.

3. Love this understated white romper by O’Neill with cute embroidered details.

4. A crochet kimono is just as important as the right SPF, this one by La Blanca is no exception.

5. Simple and classy lace up by Eberjay can also be worn with jeans and a tank underneath for later. PS. Don’t forget THIS TOWEL

If you’re still in search of a SWIM SUIT, these are my faves currently:

1. This nude one-piece, is ALL YES.

2. This striped bandeau is art!

3. Gotta love a classic scalloped one-piece!
