Swimwear for Every Body Type

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

Today is all about swimwear and getting ready for vacation! Even with a baby on board, I love going to the beach or spending time at the pool with the family. I like to keep things as comfortable as possible, so today I’ve linked everything from cover-ups to stylish one-pieces and a high waist bikini.
SinceI got the sweetest DM from a reader who requested some tips for shopping for swimwear for her upcoming girls trip, I compiled some fail-safe tips for choosing the most flattering style for your body—read along!
1. For curvier types,opt for color blocking, retro suits (embrace the high waist) and stripes! I’m loving this high waisted suit from DVF // this one in peach crochet // stripe high waist // or pink with tassels!
2. For a small bust, opt for a deep V, bold prints and ruffles. I have this in white and its super flattering and gives shape to a smaller bust size. One pieces can be really flattering and I love the scallop detail.
More One Pieces:
3. As for a large bust, go for molded cups and higher backs for support.
4. For athletic frames,opt for tops and bottoms with bold prints, cutout one-piece suits, gingham, and one-shoulder for that flattering look.
When in doubt, go for a black one-piece suit. It’s an overall flattering cut and color for almost any shape and size. 
Shop some cute sunglasses:
P.S. Don’t forget the swim cover!

Nordstrom Fashion Forward Clothes for Busy Kids

Do you ever put together matching outfits for you and your kids? I love doing this with my girls! They probably won’t let me do it forever so I have to enjoy it while I can, right? Ha! Nordstrom is where I go to find matching booties for the three of us. It’s so convenient—have I mentioned the curbside pickup for online orders? I’m just so obsessed with it.
I like to think my girls (and the boys too) are pretty fashion forward but are also just like any kids and like to run around outside and be tough on their clothes. Anything I pick up at Nordstrom Kids always lasts and keeps them looking stylish too. And yes, I let her borrow my Gucci bag. I can’t shame her for her good taste. 😉
Thank you Nordstrom for sponsoring this post!

What I’m bringing to the hospital

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

Sweater // Jeans // Sandals // Baby Bag // Camisole // Sunglasses // Bella Band

 

  1. Nursing slip, I got mine at H&M (this one looks awesome too) and
  2. Nursing tanks in black and white (I’m wearing this now because it fits maternity too;)
  3. Comfy socks/white slippers (Don’t ask me why I love white slippers)
  4. Protein bars like KIND, etc for hubby
  5. Joggers in gray and black (I’ve found the Michael Stars one’s are the most flattering)
  6. Kimono and Robe
  7. Essential oils like lavender, peppermint and copaiba, will be coming with me
  8. Phone Charger

I’m also bringing his baby book to record things that happen during the labor, details etc. Here’s hoping I actually write these things down. The more kids I have, the harder it is to record ALL the special moments in a cute lil book! I’m making an extra effort to fill in a baby book since my older kids have been reaching for their baby books lately and reading them, and I cringe at some of the empty pages!

I was really intimidated at first at the whole idea of a hospital bag, but I remind myself, I won’t be staying there all week (Lord willing) and if needed, hubby can run home to get something. Basically, if I have my toiletries, pain meds, comfy socks, kimono, nursing tanks, and make-up I’m good! I’m pretty low-maintenance but hubby would differ with me. I’m excited for that day to finally come. In the meantime, weigh in with your must haves for the hospital?

My Top 4 Vince Camuto Booties at QVC

Thank you QVC for compensating me for this blog post. All opinions my own.
You probably know by now that I’m a big Vince Camuto fan. I’ve written about 7 Vince Camuto faves for 7 days a week, I’m obsessed with their fragrance, which I wrote about here and here, but they also have some amazing new pieces coming out for fall. The best part? You can find them on QVC! If you’ve never shopped on QVC before, now is the time to give it a try. My favorite part of shopping with them is the super easy ordering, speedy shipping, and payment option plans. Does it get any better than that? Especially when you don’t always have time to run to the mall or a department store. I love it!

And now on to the Vince Camuto finds! They’re going to be featuring some great fall basics. My favorite things so far are these booties. There are a couple ankle cut suede options I have my eye on that I know will go perfectly with so many things in my closet. I’m also loving a pair of peep toe booties, which I think are the perfect transition shoe to take you from summer to fall. You’ll also see some beautiful handbags in darker colors, which of course is ideal going into autumn and eventually winter. What pieces are you looking to add to your closet for fall?

Panthea tan booties // Ferrier gray boots // V-Cut Peep Toe Bootie // Red Buckle Booties (they come in 4 colors and under $100!)
Enjoy Free shipping and also available in 4 easy pays!

Suede, Lace, and Baby Naming Tips

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

Camisole (only $29!) // Pencil skirt from STORQ and a non-maternity version // Suede Jacket (finally back in stock!) // Cap Toe Heels // Lotus Earrings // Sunglasses

Naming #5 was NOT easy. I repeat. It was a STRETCH to think of a two-syllable name that would sound good with his four siblings. Not to mention all the four critics.
1. KEEP IT A SECRET this is number 1 for a reason. If you don’t want 3 relatives and 2 cousins twice removed opinions, keep the name to yourself.

2. Put all the cards on the table – family names, names you like, religious affiliation, etc. We happened to be reading the Old Testament in devotions and came across LOTS of names we considered for this baby. Its good to see all the names in the open and discuss them.

3.   Have a TOP 10 I know its tempting to have 20 faves, but try and start with 10 and go from there. Our 4th child has three names, so keep 3 if you want!

4. Consider the syllables AND meaning. This child will have to live with this name, maybe forever, so make it easy to say with a positive meaning.

ANNND since we are still waiting on baby #5, I cannot divulge the name, I can however tell you I followed the above steps and you will have to stay tuned!

Speaking of waiting for baby . . . I’m loving this collagen powder that I swear is helping my nails and hair. Also, this ice roller (only $12!) is helping me fake a full night of sleep, this overnight reset oil-in serum, is warding off the wrinkles, and when bored, make PUMPKIN BREAD!

While I was attending the rewardstyle conference in Dallas this year, I got to know @Lucyswhims a fellow mom of two and blogger. We quickly bonded over birth stories, rosé and a latte for me along with Erica from @fashionedchicstyling. What a fun bunch! They made the weekend for me THAT much more enjoyable. I recently invited Lucy and her family to stay at our cabin.

She wrote an article on her blog about her family’s stay at our A Frame and what they did in and around Lake Arrowhead Village. Go read it! Read more about our A Frame renovation and what we learned HERE. And the best part? You can book your next stay there as our cabin is finally on Airbnb.

Go check it out and let me know if you have any questions!

Thank you Lucy for these beautiful photos!

My Top 4 Picks from Chriselle Lim’s Collection at Nordstrom

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

Dress // Boots (Bill Blass) similar // Bag // Sunglasses // Earrings

Happy Weekend! I’m loving this sweater dress – especially the shoulder button details. Style tip, this dress can also be worn off the shoulder, yay! 

  1. BELTED COAT – for its shape and color. Hello versatility!
  2. BUTTON FRONT SKIRT – love the asymmetrical design styled with booties
  3. HOUNDSTOOTH BLAZER hello fall must-have! Notice the modern piping detail for work to play chic.
  4. RUCHED SWEATER TBH this was the most interesting part of the collection. While I’m not usually a fan of baring the midriff, however, a peek of the mid section paired with chic high waisted trousers or a pencil skirt feels ever so fresh for fall.

Congrats to my fellow mama Chriselle for her new collection at Nordstrom!
