Today I visited my local Nordstrom with Reid and styled some looks! There were too many florals and print if you ask me so I combed through the selection with a fine tooth comb. Which look is your favorite?
Mother Jeans – have tons of stretch so you can go down a size. I tried on a 26, and 25, and ended up getting a 25.
FRAME dress. Gorgeous shape, sleeves and cut. A must have if it’s not sold out. I got a small/.
Sam Edelman boots I went down half a size since they were sold out of size 9.
L’Agence Flares – I got my true 26
Valentino Belt not included in the NSALE, but its reversible, I’ve worn it more times than I can count and downright chic. Definitely, a worthy investment buy.
Ted Baker Trench – super chic but keep in mind it runs small, I’m wearing a size 1 here.
Pink Nordstrom Suit Pant and Blazer. Sold separately. I got a small in the blazer, size 4 in the pants.
FRAME pink silk top I got a small
Treasure & Bond Stripe Sweater – I got a medium since oversized is so hot right now. I love a cozy knit for fall.
Cloud Swift Running Shoe – So comfy. I got my true size. Now I know why this brand has a huge cult following.
Eileen Fisher Wide leg pants – perfect for travel, with pockets. I got an XS (sz 2-4) and has a comfy viscose spandex blend. Made in USA.
Louis Vuitton Toiletry 26 Bag – love this underrated bag for day or night!
Hi friends!I’ve done this edit for about 8+ years. I hope you find it helpful that I give sizes and colors shown. Nordstrom lowered their commission significantly, so for efficiency sake, I’m not staying up all night getting my edit together. I like to keep my edit to the sale short and sweet. I really enjoyed putting these looks together. I mean, how chic is plaid and suede? I hope you, my reader knows I value YOU most importantly and that I’m grateful you’re here. Ask any questions ! I’ll be adding more items as I see fit.
Gratefully,
xx

Happy Shopping!
I have a soft spot for crisp white jeans for summer. I love the crop on these and slight distressing but no holes – yet! As far as fit, these run a tad bit small, and you should size up. Use code NOELXAVE for 20% off anything at The Avenue. Happy Shopping!
JEANS USE CODE NOELXAVE for 20% off // SANDALS BEEK CODE SHALICENOEL10 // TOP SHOWN IN SIZE XS
I’m super picky when it comes to my headbands. Number one, they have to be versatile, so I can mix and match many outfits accordingly. Isn’t it pretty? I especially love the pink flowers against the light blue background. What do you think?

Do you ever drive past a place, see lots of activity but have no clue what all the hustle is? Reid and I needed a quick overnight getaway and parenting break. We decided to drive down to one of our favorite beaches in Florida. This was a last-minute trip and Reid booked the day before we left. We thought we would just get a typical hotel chain since it was so last minute. Reid did a search all over Florida’s 30A and thankfully discovered this quaint vintage Bed and Breakfast in Grayton Beach, Hibiscus Coffee & Guesthouse.
https://www.hibiscusflorida.com/
We arrived at 5:00pm and the check-in process was super simple. They had texted Reid’s phone with arrival instructions, and everything was waiting for us. Our room was the Funky Bird Room, located on the first floor of Bert’s Barn. The grounds are lush with Florida plants and a big front porch. Upon entering the old-fashioned room, you are entertained with vintage bird art sprinkled into the décor. It’s not fancy, but feels hip and very Anthropologie. Just my thing. The room included a small kitchen with full size sink, mini-fridge and microwave. Just what we need for a one night stay and no kids.
It was fun staying the night and feeling like we were going back in time, but the best part was waking up to the Florida sun and heading over to the café for breakfast. Yes! This place still give you breakfast, for free! It is not pre-packaged danishes either. Reid and I each had fresh old fashioned oatmeal topped with fresh fruit while I had homemade granola and milk. Might I add, the coffee was one of the best on 30A.
As a small business owner myself, I encourage you to check out this quaint, family owned guesthouse. It was a great retreat. Great, walkable location and most importantly, great coffee!
See you in Florida. (If you have a need for a place that sleeps 10, check out this rental.
The slip skirt is the un-sung hero of the closet. It is both flattering and feels like pajamas. Win-win.

How was your Memorial Day? We were invited to a BBQ yesterday for Memorial Day and she asked me to bring a side dish.
I love a challenge.
I was craving a greek salad with a twist. I left out any meat since we were attending a bbq with lots of yummy grilled meat. The feta has protein and a delicious kick. Let me know what you think!
GREEK ORZO SUMMER SALAD
1 16 oz package orzo pasta, (I use the one from trader joe’s) cooked and put aside
1 package cherry tomatoes
1 can, black olives
1 package of feta cheese
1 whole bunch of Dill, chopped
1/3 cup red onion, sliced thinly
Drizzle with 1/4 cup avocado or olive oil and 1 teaspoon sea salt
Directions: Cut the tomatoes, onions, dill, and feta. Finally, drizzle with oil and salt. Toss and serve.
