What to Buy for Spring from Nordstrom

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel


Spring is in the air after a couple long weeks of rain here and it almost feels magical! I want to get a book and a snack and just soak up the sun! What better time to refresh your wardrobe than with a couple spring essentials from Nordstrom. I rounded up some of my favorite pieces from jeans to blouses to sandals and jewelry under $100. Planning ahead your spring wardrobe does not have to be complicated, just a couple pieces like a pair of dark denim, stripe blouse and white heels can refresh your look. I like that I can wear these sandals not only with jeans and trousers but looks great with a pencil skirt. Again this stripe top can be dressed up or down. Perfect for my meetings  DTLA and for my son’s soccer practice. Also don’t forget to try the Nordstrom curbside pick-up if you haven’t already. When I used this service, I felt totally spoiled not having to take all 4 children into Nordstrom and having the associate bring my bags into my car, amazing!!

FOODIE FRIDAY: 3 of my Fave Salad Dressing Recipes

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

Those who know we well know I LOVE salad like a crazy person. It’s true. So naturally I have at least 3 salad dressing recipes that will have you eating so much lettuce you’ll make Peter Rabbit jealous. Just saying.

Also, if you’re looking for a salad dressing to dress up broccoli or broccolini for your kids or hubby, try these first. My kids love the balsamic dressing. It stays a week in the jar but we usually use a full recipe so I always make it fresh.

Without further adieu, here’s my top 3 on major rotation, and yes my kids are FANS!

Balsamic Vinaigrette (recipe can be doubled)

Mince 2 cloves of garlic and add the following ingredients in a small jar with lid:

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, I use OLIVEDA

2 T balsamic vinegar

1 t. sugar

1/2 t. salt

Shake vigorously and serve. Store in fridge up to a week.

Oriental Dressing ( from my Mother-in-Law)

4 T sugar

1 t salt

2 t. soy sauce

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

6 T white vinegar

Combine in a lidded jar and shake well.

Lemon Dijon – sounds funky but so fresh and yummy!

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard.

1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic.

3 tablespoons champagne vinegar.

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

1/2 cup good olive oil.

I also like this simple version: Lemon Dijon

fresh squeezed lemon //  dijon // olive oil // salt

There you have it, you can bookmark this post and share with your friends. Hope you enjoy, Let me know your favorite dressing in the comments!

4 Tips to Shopping on eBay:

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel
I go way back with eBay. It was the first place I sold lots of my clothes and the clothes I thrifted and I loved it! I’ve since gone back, but now to buy as well! I’m usually looking for one-of-a-kind pieces I can’t find here in LA or anywhere else online or in-store. Lately, I’ve been looking for distressed denim skirts, Gucci belt bags and cute Chanel sling backs. Searching for the perfect items can be tedious, but I usually use a variety of creative keywords to find exactly what I’m looking for along with a few other tricks I’ve learned after years of shopping and selling with eBay. I’ve included my best tips below:
 
1. Look for “BEST OFFERS” posts
2. Put the auction end date in your google calendar
3. Bid with weird cents like ending your amount in $.32 – who knows it could mean a winning bid for you!
4. Be patient and try to detach. 🙂 Easier said than done!

Nautical Trends

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

Anchor sweater // Shorts // Striped Pants

 
 Red boots // White top // Shorts //
If you feel like you want to try something a little different, like this amazing top from Nautica, but are afraid the whole nautical theme will take over your look—don’t worry! My best tip is to break it up with striped pants or solid colored accessories. Grab some red boots or simple white slides, something that adds to your outfit but keeps it balanced. An outfit like this is really versatile as well. It’s great for weekend brunches with the girls or a day date with the husband. I’m also a big lover stripes as you probably already guessed, so I don’t think you can ever go wrong with striped shorts or pants. One more tip for styling this look—add a handkerchief around your neck. Which is your favorite piece?

Skirt weather

If you follow me closely, you see I LOVE denim so I’m naturally on the lookout for all the denim steals deals, and show-stopping pieces. I came across this denim skirt with ties on Anthropologie and had to have it. I styled it with a creme top, trench coat, barely there nude heels and baseball cap. The latter doesn’t take the outfit too seriously and gives it a sporty look. Thankfully, LA has warmed up, so it calls for lots of skirts and sandals, yay! Have a lovely Monday!

Here are some H&M steals below! All under $100 and most under $50!

Gucci is now at Nordstrom!

Gucci Pumps // Jeans (fits TTS) // Tank // Caslon Denim Top // Trench // Sunnies // Earrings 

If you haven’t already heard, Gucci is now at Nordstrom!! I’m putting lots of favorites in my cart and have already tagged one as an anniversary gift come the 17th. (Thanks, Reid!) Anyone else shop for their own gifts? In addition to the GG Pumps I’m wearing here, there is also a gorgeous belt bag and classic statement bags that make up my Want List. For this purchase, I ordered it online and picked it up at my local Nordstrom. It was dangerously easy and I was able to get it right away. Another option they gave me was curbside pick up but since I had an exchange I ended up just going in. Anyone else used this? It’s great for busy moms on the go with a car full of kids. Gotta love curbside pick up for everything! Which Gucci item is your favorite? I’m eyeing the belt bag like I said, but hurry up because its almost sold out! Here I styled the Gucci GG pumps with a Canadian uniform (aka denim on denim), a white tank and cute pink trench. Who doesn’t love the classic luxe accessories and everyday basics combo?

I expected to feel better after a vitamin IV injection but I didn’t expect to leave with so much knowledge I gained from celebrity nutritionist Kelly Leveque. I’m a self professed “health nut” and always interested in health and my eyes were opened to so much valuable information! She believes in the fab 4: protein, fat, fiber, and greens.  I knew I felt better eating an avocado with leafy greens! Get here famous smoothie HERE! It was all in all a lovely day with the Beek team from IV treatment at The Hydration Room to lunch with boss babes at Farmhouse. Thank you again to the lovely Beek team and Hydration Room! Now off to buy the ingredients for the Fab 4 smoothie! As always, my shop page is open 24/7. Have a lovely weekend.

What Jeans to Buy

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

belt // sweater similar // jeans // sandals // bag

jeans // cami similar// cardigan // bag

I’m realizing that after so many years and so many pairs of jeans, I keep going back to only a handful of pairs. I’ll name them below:

LEVIS 721 skinny jeans. They’re only $88, have build in busted knees (mine have gotten bigger with time) and so flattering with a universal wash. I also love this lighter wash. How cute are these shorts?

TOPSHOP I basically started blogging with this pair of jeans. I like their washes and distressing. I rarely go up in size for jeans, but I do for this brand.

REVOLVE GRLFRND DENIM they fit similar to Levis, and I love the distressed denim! Also, check out this pair
