How to Camouflage

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

How was your weekend? If I’m honest, I’m lying in bed under the weather after one of our busiest weekends yet since moving to LA. Lots of fun projects and our first beach day of 2017, so no regrets. If you’re in need of some style inspiration for the week, wear camouflage! Here, I styled it with neutral grays  and a neutral bag. As a styling rule of thumb, treat camouflage like leopard. Don’t wear it head to toe, and compliment it with neutrals. Viola, weekday casual at its best.

4 Ways to Take Better Pics

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.

4 Ways to Look Better in your Own Clothes

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

I’m sharing a couple styling tips I use myself. To be honest, it’s not everyday I feel 100% in an outfit. It takes lots of trial and error to get an outfit right for an event, occasion, or the blog. When I don’t feel like wearing anything but pajama pants, aka having an ‘off’ day, I use the following tips:

1. Nude heels elongate the leg, making you appear taller.

2. A Belt – Cinching the waist is the easiest way to creating shape.

3. Pointed Toe shoes and boots – believe it or not, a pointed toe boot, heel or flat also elongates the legs, making you appear taller and therefore slimmer.

4. Wear monotone colors – for example, wear a let’s say black turtleneck with a black pencil skirt underneath a cozy shearling coat or colorful blazer. Instant slimming! No protein shakes, 35 min stair steps, or exhausting cardio required. Sound convincing?

THIS designer was onto something, chevron is an incredibly flattering shape. See my  top chevron picks here.

Shop the look below. I’m curious, what are your tips to looking the best in your own threads? I can’t wait to hear.

Vintage Cars and Reworked Basics

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

Ever since we moved to LA last January, I’ve been obsessed with old vintage cars. My favorite being the vintage Porsche 911. Amazing. I’m resolved to just stare from afar, or in this case, sit on this random orange Chevy as if it’s mine. I’m loving a pop of stripe to an overall basic outfit. If I wanted to switch it up, I’d add a black leather jacket, black boots, and a black bag. Basically, everyone needs a good striped blouse. Happy Monday!

Athleisure – DIET

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!

Sometimes cozy looks a lot less like a bathrobe and a lot more like a cozy off the shoulder sweater and jeans, am I right? See more of how to master the cozy look HERE. Happy Humpday!

Dream Big

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

I would hang up your fringe skirts for another season and stock up on the pleats. Pleated skirts and maxi dresses move beautifully and show no signs of moving on. I, of course, love them with all black. No brainer. And if I could order them in a girl’s size 6, I’d be even more overjoyed. See also how I styled THIS olive look. Meanwhile, hubs and I are working on an exciting project, grappling with creating something completely new, teaching ourselves and staying motivated to always work hard and juggle family life. Sorry to be vague, but more details to follow. Your dreams should push you, move you to unchartered territory, and ultimately scare you. Dream big! What’s the biggest dream you’ve had?

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. – MLK jr.

6 Fave OTK Boots

It’s no secret, over-the-knee boots are the must-have of the season. Wear them up or down, with leggings or skinny jeans, and recently I even wore mine with a ruffle dress (more of that to come!). Talk about versatility! I love the fit-like-a-glove feel and the heel isn’t too high to make chasing my 3 year-old an impossibility. As I’m sure you know by now, the kid’s got tons of personality and spunk so chasing him happens more than I’d like. Below, I show 6 OTK boots for every desired heel height and budget, from $69 to $875. See also how I styled them here. Don’t forget, you’ve got until midnight tonight to enter the ring giveaway!
