1st Day of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

I love a good Michele watch on sale and neutrals that make getting ready in the morning easy with so many options.

Tip 1

Know your card status. Each card holder has a card status. It’s based on how much you spend for the year. Save the date for when your status is able to shop!

Icon Early Access August 4-18

Ambassador Early Access August 7-18

Influencer Early Access August 10-18

Insider Early Access: August 13-18

Tip 2

Check out! As soon as you have your cart full, check out don’t delay. I’ve lost many great anniversary finds because I was still shopping instead of checking out right away.

Tip 3

Buy now, return later! You don’t want to loose your size and color selections. I like ordering everything on my list, trying it on at home and returning whatever doesn’t look or fit right. You have to see it in person. So, order now, return later, and you’ll thank me later!

Boots: Love these slouchy boots and missing fall weather!

Tops and Tees (Love this one for summer nights)

Sweater Knits and Cardigans

Activewear

Hope that helps. Below are my very selective picks from the sale based on some of your requests. Only my favorites! Look below and let me know if you see anything that you’ll add to your wishlist.

Frye Boots fit is TTS // Jeans // One Shoulder Top // Fur Jacket // Similar Sunglasses

Check my latest Instagram post for a special giveaway with FRYE boots! I’m so happy to partner with them. In real life, I saved up my babysitting money while in high school and found them used so I could get a pair of used Chelsea tall FRYE boots. They were and still are my favorite quality leather chic boots.

They just may be the perfect gift to yourself. Which boots are your favorites?

What to keep and What to buy in 2020

Jeans similar // Necklace // Similar ring // Small boots // My boots // Tee shirt in XS // Girls jeans // Girls tee //

I often come to this question at the close of a year and reflect on trends to ditch, and trends to try. But above all, I consider smart investment buys that are always worth it. This week, I noticed that after writing this article, it helped me purge my closet. I began to think A. Have I worn this at all in a year, yes or no? and B. bucket hats and over the shoulder are done. Good to know! I started to see the rows of clothing and shoes in two categories, what to store, and what to donate. When was the last time you purged your closet? Keep reading for trends to ditch and what trends to invest in! Let me know what you think! Good bye Dad sneakers!

TRENDS TO DITCH

DAD SNEAKERS aka CHUNKY SNEAKERS (I never liked them to begin with)

BUCKET HATS

OFF THE SHOULDER has been overdone

LETTER NECKLACES

OUT: leopard slip skirts

BOILER SUITS – It takes a few number of girls who can pull these suits off.

BIKER SHORTS. Sorry girls, I was never a huge fan of these.

TRENDS TO TRY

BIG BOLD EARRINGS

FRINGE BABY! Love the movement and texture it adds to an outfit!

COLORFUL LEATHER LOOKS

THONG STRAPPY SANDALS

SPLIT LEG TROUSERS

QUILTED BAGS AND COATS

FULL ON NEUTRAL. Neutrality is always in. Soft wearable neutrals in complimenting shades were never really trendy, just classic.

If you’re still curious, these are the best sellers from the rewardstyle analytics:

Best Under $100 Coat and Fendi review

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

Puffer Coat 55% off! (wearing a size small) // Turtleneck sweater (on sale. Wearing a size medium)// Fendi bag // Jeans (my jeans on sale!)// His coat // Our shoes (they’re unisex) // Similar sunglasses and here //

I first saw this bag in a Fendi store in Florence, Italy. I was looking for a bag similar to the Fendi Peekaboo bag that a fellow blogger, 9 to 5 Chic always wore. I wanted a bag to bring home from Italy that was versatile and went with EVERY outfit. Well, I’m happy to report that I found that bag!! The first thing I noticed was it had a removable strap. I love to have options. The associate showed me the three ways to wear this bag: as a cross body bag, as a tote, and finally as a clutch. If I was feeling adventurous, I could also remove the strap and attach it to another bag. How cool is that? While I was deciding on color (do I get black or camel?), shape, and discussing all the things with the attendant, Reid was wrangling a tired Levi. Shout out to Reid who gave me the credit card and walked out the store to rock Levi to sleep. I mean, what a champ!

Pro’s: the bag can be worn multiple ways that work with many outfits. The leather is luxe and buttery soft. The camel color is very versatile and can go with virtually any outfit!

Con’s: the price. It’s a luxury item, so the price is steep, but cost per wear is good.

Details on the bag:

Outer: Gold Plated Metal 100%, Calf Leather 100%, Polyester 100%. Lining: Polyamide 60%, Polyurethane 40%, Made in Italy.

Dimensions of the Fendi Flap Bag W: 11.8″ H: 9.3″ D: 5.1″

Give the gift of UGG

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

UGG Wedge Bootie (fit TTS) // Similar Cropped jean // Similar Sweater // Faux leather puffer similar // Similar sunglasses

UGG was originally worn by surfers and founded by an Australian to relax and warm their feet after a long surf. It’s since become an icon for sheepskin, and enduring style. I remember buying UGG stock in college and saving up all my babysitting money to buy a pair. They were that good.

When I was browsing my local Nordstrom, I realized they had such an amazing selection of UGG boots, I honestly had a hard time choosing. From tall boots to short boots, ribbon ties and pull on styles, UGG has the perfect gift. Reid helped me narrow it down to these crop wedge boots that I’m wearing here.

I love the modern fit! The 2.5″ wedge heel is hidden for a fashion forward style. Who says fashion can’t be comfortable? With a 4″ shaft, I like them best worn with cropped kick flare jeans or a skirt. Who doesn’t love a pull-on boot that feels like a slipper? I styled them with cropped jeans and a cozy sweater because you can’t go wrong with camel and black. Both my girls have been begging for a pair of UGG’s for themselves. I bought them this pair that I know they’ll love. Which is your favorite?

Thank you Nordstrom for sponsoring this post! All opinions my own.

His and Hers Camel Coats

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

Camel Coat (wearing a size 2) // Tissue Turtleneck // Cropped Pants and similar // Tan pumps

Every winter I search online for the best camel coats. I usually have decent luck and find a handful that I really like and share about on the blog. However, this year, I’m so excited because I finally found a really, really amazing camel coat! It’s by far my favorite one and I knew as soon as I tried it on I had to share it with you guys. A camel coat is something that once you find a great one, you invest in it and wear it for years. It’s one of those classic, staple pieces that never go out of style.

It is 69% wool, 25% nylon, 6% other fibers. It feels heavy and has a gorgeous fit. I’ve been looking for one with a great fit for what seems like years and this fit is perfection. The top looks like a blazer, which I think elevates it a bit and makes it look a little more sophisticated. I can’t recommend this coat enough!

As always, my shop page is open 24/7. Happy Wednesday!

The Necklaces I wear Daily

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

Sweater Dress in small // Boots // Faith Bag

Hidden Crystal Necklace // 14k gold Circle Pendant in gold, 18″ in length // 14k gold “mama” necklace // 14k gold 5 letter necklace //

I get asked SO many times where my special necklaces are from, so I thought I’d line them up for you.

The round one with the hidden crystal is from Adornmonde, the round circle and “mama” sign is from Tiny Tags. and Finally the letters to my kids initials is from Maya Brenner.

I love having a part of my kids around my neck to always remember them. No matter if we are apart. And my kids love seeing their names on my necklaces. After I had Levi, I sent in my letter necklace to Maya Brenner and they added an “L,” how cool is that?

These make great baby shower, mother’s day or Christmas gifts. Speaking of, Christmas is 58 days away . . .

5 Ways to Becoming More Sustainable

written by Shalice Noel

My Top 5 Ways to Becoming More Sustainable

What does sustainable even mean? This is a question I found myself thinking about a lot recently, which is why I decided to look more into it and educate myself and my family. What I found out is sustainable actually means minimizing non-renewable energy consumption and using as many recycled products as possible. This is something I want to make sure we’re doing in our home and something I feel like we should be talking about more. So, this is how our family is being more sustainable. Hopefully these things can act as some ideas for your family too!


1. We eat local

Eating local means we are supporting small businesses and that we are using fewer fossil fuels for the food to get to us. It’s a small step, but when you think about how many times you eat out, it’s one of those little things that adds up.


2. Recyclable sandwich bags

When I started thinking about how many plastic bags a week we were going through for leftovers, lunches, snacks, etc. it kind of made me sick. Especially after learning that plastic takes hundreds of years to decompose. So, we started using reusable sandwich bags, which has cut down a lot of our waste on a weekly basis.


3. Buying used

When you love a good handbag or designer shoes as much as me, buying used can make a big difference. I’ve been buying used luxury items at places like eBay, Poshmark, and The Real Real for years!


4. Recycle

We recycle plastics and paper and I’m proud of seeing the kids follow suit on the recycling habit. It’s important to teach them to do this now so they can make the same smart choices as they get older.


5. Donate

Not only do I try to buy used when it comes to luxury items, but I want our old clothes and shoes to be reused as well. As a family, we donate via Crossroads and the Salvation Army. With 7 people, you can imagine that there are a lot of shoes and clothes that can go to well deserving new homes.
Now, it’s your turn! How are you practicing sustainability?

After all, I believe the mantra, FEWER, BETTER THINGS.
