Back to School Must Haves with Walmart

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

I don’t love back to school frenzy but I secretly love all the prep and new gear! The kids share this joy with me. I bought the kids new Trapper Keepers, backpacks and jeans from Walmart. I had a blast from the past when I bought the Trapper Keepers home. I used to have one in junior high. Such good memories staying organized and “cool.” Now, my kids get to experience it.

See my picks below for starting off the year right:

Girls backpack // Girls Jeggings // Girls $3 tanks // Girls tees // // Boys backpacks // Trapper Keeper and this one / Notebooks // My cardigan // Boys jeans // Brooks’ shirt // Boys shoes // Boys Henley // Desktop Calendar //

This wool blend wrap coat sold out fast but it will be back. I think lots of people in the beginning buy multiple sizes and will eventually return one.

This True and Co bra is $28 and SO incredibly soft just as they say!

This Barefoot Dreams Cardigan is incredibly soft.

I can’t believe the biggest shopping day of the year is among us. Today at 3am EST early Access shopping opens for Icon level cardmembers. Not sure what level cardholder that you are? Log onto your Nordstrom account for more information. I will do try-on’s tomorrow sharing my favorite pieces. Don’t forget, if you’re in between sizes, get two, reach for investment pieces, those will go first, buy now and return sizes later. Items go fast, so if there’s something you’re eying add to cart and check out. I’ve shopped many times and an item will disappear out of the cart because I waited too long!

Hope those tips help you shop most efficiently. It’s also a great time to shop for Christmas gifts. I’ve been shopping this sale since 2015, and still love the rag + bone boots I scored many years ago. Forward any questions, shalice@shalicenoel.com.

Cheers!

Saving time and money with Walmart+

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

Why I use Walmart+

We moved into a house with a pool at the end of February, and honestly, it’s been great! We find ourselves outside so much of the time because of it, and doesn’t every mom want that? Due to all this outside time, I’ve been branching out, trying to find different things to eat, play with, and do outside. And if the doing coincides with the eating, then all the better!  Enter the snow cone machine and syrups from Walmart! They absolutely love snow cones after our trip to Kauai two years ago, but I definitely didn’t like all the sugar and coloring usually found in snow cones. Surprisingly, the syrup I bought from Walmart doesn’t have the common red #40 or sugar. So far it’s been a huge hit, and is always a favorite at any party.

Also, to my friends with kids still in diapers, Walmart is a great go-to in a pinch! We were out of diapers this week and Walmart+ came to the rescue with a 2 hour delivery. Same with groceries and produce! Walmart+ always gives the option for same day delivery, and since “same day” are two of my favorite words, Walmart has quickly become a favorite. Don’t forget to sign up for Walmart+ HERE, free shipping, no order minimum. 

For groceries:

Check your address to see if free delivery from your store is available at your address.($35 minimum. Restrictions apply.) I checked, and my address qualified, yay! 

Non-grocery items:

As for everything else like this rad snow cone machine, enjoy free next day or 2-day delivery. Don’t forget to sign up for Walmart+ HERE, free shipping, no order minimum required (excludes freight & Marketplace items). Sign up and let me know what you think. If you’re on the fence, start a free 15 day trial to try it out!

Big thank you to Walmart for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own.

What to do in Charleston

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

I took a girls trip to Charleston with Leanne Barlow and Jordan Zobrist this last week and it was a blast. Here is what we wore and did!

We also visited Magnolia Gardens. Visit the bridge area. Looks like a scene out of the Notebook.

Little white dress and similar // Pink bag // Amazon $15 sunglasses

White shorts similar // Halter top // Chain sandals // Lagos bracelets // Strapless bra // Turquoise Ring

Last week, I drove 5 hours from Atlanta to Charleston to meet up with my California girlfriends.

We went to The ordinary and Hotel Bennet while in Charleston, SC. I included some of the favorites you recommended.

Cru cafe was recommended as well as The Daily for coffee. Hall’s steakhouse is so good and Husk is great too! Husk I was told, has an awesome mixologist so really good cocktails and their food is all super fresh— farm to table and unique. There is no doubt, the eating scene can’t be beat!

I was hesitant to leave the family and drive 5 hours form Atlanta to Charleston, but boy was I happy I did it. It was refreshing to leave the house, the noise and plug in my favorite pod cast for the long drive, “How I built this,” snack on almonds and sip iced coffee. The simple joys. If you have a chance, reconnect with girlfriends and you’ll be glad that you did. The laundry will always be there.

Happy Friday!

Shalice
