Date NightStyle

Suede and Lace

Date night should be extra special and this lace dress caught my eye since its a beige shade, a lot like my friend’s Mrs Self Portrait dress without the price tag. I like to skimp somewhere to splurge on the accessories like this JW Anderson bag. I love that this neutral ensemble can also be worn at a wedding. See more wedding inspiration here and here. What’s your favorite date night look?

Swim Suits I’m loving Lately

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

Shopping for a swimsuit is like shopping for jeans, it can be frustrating and intimidating. Today, I’m sharing a couple I love and that are flattering. Don’t get me wrong, I still feel the urge to do 50 more ab crunches before I go down to the pool, but let’s face it, I’m a mom, my body isn’t perfect after 4 kids. Hello stretched out belly button thanks to my 8lb child #3. While he did some damage, it’s obviously worth every bit and self tanner does wonders. I think we can all agree that a cute suit you love helps you feel better when wearing it. Let’s dive right in:

1. I’m wearing this ruffle bandau from Wala Swim.

2. with this stripe bikini bottom thats similar to the Topshop one I’m wearing. (sold out).

3. If you’re a one-piece girl, I’ve got you covered, I love this maillot I wore in Palm Springs.

One pieces are super flattering and its ok to have a couple to wear with a kimono.

Two pieces are super fun especially with the ruffle trend. Mix and match for beach and pool days, here are some of my favorites:

Below I added some beach or pool essentials from a cheap tote (because mine takes a beating on the beach) to a great big towel.

Are you a one-piece or two-piece girl?

Q & A

What was your last Amazon prime order?

Bento lunch boxes for the kids peppermint oil, because I get really stiff neck and headaches, and tea.

What is the last tip your make-up artist, Lexi has given you.

Use highlighter on the bridge of your nose, center of your top lip, on your cheekbones, over the inner corners of your eyes, onto your brow bone, and center of your forehead. Lexi started using this highlighter on me.

What is the best and last diet tip you’ve shared?

Dandelion tea. It helps with water retention and I drink at least one cup a day.

Will you be sharing your workout routine?

Yes, Hubby and I will be sharing one soon, stay tuned! If you missed it, see a video on how I workout at the park!

Where do you like to go in Palm Springs?

The King’s Highway  for breakfast (I get their granola and yogurt), the Ace pool to cool down, pink door house and I’m open to hearing my readers favorites?

What’s the address of the pink door house and this house with the lions?

Good question! 1100 E Sierra Way, Palm Springs, CA 92264

Did you always want a big family?

I always wanted 6 children, Reid wanted 3, and God gave us 4. I feel like I’ve won the lottery with them. We have some really long days, but they are a constant blessing.

What’s your best parenting advice, or what have you learned lately that has made momlife easier?

It’s threefold: a lot of affection, some outside time whether its scooters at the park, a ride around the block, and lots of good snacks sometimes makes or breaks a day.

With 4 kids you must have a lot of mess in your house?

Haha well, we have a chore chart they have to follow, I give rewards for cleaning and when in doubt, I ask them to take something upstairs and I count how long it takes – they love it, they’re really competitive and I get things done, lol.

How do you juggle your days as a busy mom and business owner?

Not every day is the same, some days I have a sitter all day for meetings and appointments or a photo shoot, some days like today, I’m home, we make breakfast, do chores, read and I catch up on emails and write my blog posts. With that said, its not without the cries, the troubles with sharing and the struggle to fit in a workout, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I was just telling Felicia my photographer how much I love working from home – from kissing the boo-boos, applying the 5th band aid, brewing my own coffee, writing, and sending emails and styling outfits. The latter is often done around midnight but hey it works.

Little Red Dress x Datenight

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

 

Few colors excite me more than red. Its such a bright and happy color that can wake up a tired color palette. I usually add a pop of red to an outfit, here I was attempting to do red head to toe, but my red bag happened to be a different red. Tones aside, I loved pairing a red dress with red flats and a circle bag, because date night should be about bold colors and the man you love. Oh and a good Thai food destination, that’s why I included 4 Thai food destinations in the LA area below:

Thai Paradise 909 W Las Tunas, San Gabriel, authentic spicy curry and good service

Sala Dang 363 S Fair Oaks, Pasadena, yummy yellow curry and great menu. We love taking friends from out of town here.

President Thai  498 S Rosemead, Pasadena, I’ve never been, but its been recommended and I can’t wait to try!

Thai Purple 27 W Garfield, Alhambra, Yummy curry and rice, I get the red curry, hubby gets the yellow.

Above most outfits, I love layers. A good tank with a stripe button down or cardigan is my jam. These two weeks, I’ve been dropping off and picking up kids from soccer camp, so I haven’t had a ton of time to overthink what I’m wearing. Don’t get me wrong, I’m loving having the kids home and these lazy dog days of summer. We just hung out in my daughter’s room last night and chatting – all four of them. It really felt like a lazy summer which I love. So an oversize tank, fave rips, and optional layering in the AC it is. We’re dropping off the kids at VBS and going to get pho. Can’t wait. What are your weekend plans?

What to wear to a Wedding

FREE PEOPLE Inez Set  :: heels VINCE CAMUTO :: bag MADEWELL SIMILAR :: earrings ADORNMONDE :: sunnies CHLOE :: Photo’s by TASHA

It’s not right to wear black, or white, or creme to a wedding, you’re left with the question, what do you wear? Your friend may take it the wrong way if you’re competing with her white or you may look sad in black, however a set with multi colors and a blush heel seems to satisfy both crowds, the wedding party and yourself. I fell IN LOVE with these complementary colors and you will too. Though it works for a wedding, it can also do for date night, girls lunch, or a school fundraiser. It fits true to size, and for once, hubby loved my choice. I can’t wait to wear it to our friend’s wedding in September or next weekend. What’s your favorite weekend attire?

Lace dresses are such show stoppers in themselves you hardly need to stress over accessorizing them. Just add a cool hat, sunglasses and a colorful sandal. I chose blush sandal heels here but you can give them a sporty look with sneakers.

5 Must Have Tanks

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

My outfit:

poncho :: tank :: cutoff shorts and similar for $60

A tank is that understated must that works hard under those overalls, paired with the cutoffs, and everything in between. I brought over 6 tanks on our road trip this summer and was amazed how many outfits I got out of them. If you love to layer, pair a cozy cashmere cardigan with jeans or a leather jacket. Boom, its a 5 minute outfit, because as moms we all know that is all we have right? My advice is, stock up, they’re worth the small investment and see my top 5 favorites below.
