Tucker x Tate Nordstrom

Tucker & Tate Clothes

While the idea of shopping for four kids sounds fun in theory – and it can be – it’s also a lot of work. There aren’t a lot of stores or brands that carry something that’s comfortable, can withhold busy kids, and that aren’t cheesy. For how young my kids are, they really do love picking out their clothes, so I want them to like what they’re wearing as well.

Nordstrom is always a one-stop shop for our family when shopping. I get a ton of my clothes there, in store or online – the inventory is excellent either way, and we can shop for the kids at the same time. Their return policy is like any other, so in case a kid grows out of something before they can even wear it, it’s simple to take back. The kids and I like going in store to pick out their clothes, especially before the new school year or holidays.

A Nordstrom brand we turn to often is Tucker & Tate. My girls love that they carry colorful, floral skirts and dresses, booties that “look like mom’s”, and the boys dig the beanies and cool shirts. Honestly, some of the stuff is so cute I’d wear it myself! If you’re doing any early fall shopping for the kids, I highly recommend checking out Tucker & Tate. I think your kids will be happy, too!

Lunch with SoYoung Inc

by Shalice Noel October 4, 2017

written by Shalice Noel

One of the things I appreciate most about my kids is their unique creativity. They each have their own traits, personality, and likes, and it’s been cool watching that evolve as they get older. Especially as the younger ones come out of their shell and have their own voice and style that’s different from their bigger brother or sister. Super cute!

So when I let them pick out their own SoYoung Inc. lunch boxes, it was a fun experiment to see them each choose a design. They were very excited to have their own, and that they weren’t all matching (which tends to happen when you’re buying multiples of something).

And as a mom who is constantly cleaning up after them (why are boys sooo messy?!), I love that these are raw linen and machine washable. Plus, they’re eco-friendly, so we’ve welcomed them with open arms in our house. No more brown bags for us.

I actually have my own, too, since they make adult versions. Great for when I’m working or on the go. Aren’t they cool? Officially bringing back the lunch boxes, but in a modern, way cooler way. If you’re curious to try a bag, use code “Shalice15%” to get 15% off your purchase!

The Perfect Fall Boot Børn x Zappos

by Shalice Noel September 28, 2017

written by Shalice Noel

Sponsored by Zappos

“Fannar boots” from Børn :: blouse L’Academie :: skirt Zara :: sunnies Chloe

When it comes to getting ready, I keep two things in mind: comfort and style. As a mom of four, it’s common sense that I need to be able to run around all day, but I’m not one to sacrifice style while doing so (well, most days).

With fall slowly creeping in, I’m officially pulling out the fall wardrobe staples, including these børn boots. They’re perfect to pair with dresses and skirts for this seasonal transition that we’re in, at least in LA, and I’m looking forward to wearing them over jeans and leggings once it truly cools down.

I especially love the lived-in color these have. And with the heel being pretty small, I can honestly walk for miles and still feel comfortable. Expect to see me in these throughout 2018!

See more Børn shoes from Zappos HERE. I just love how fast the shipping process is and the friendliest customer service. I mean, how good is their selection. I can get kids rain boots and the hottest boots for myself, all in one site at Zappos.

What are you excited to wear this fall?

‘IT’ Bag With rag & bone

by Shalice Noel September 17, 2017

written by Shalice Noel

The It Bag

I love a bag I can wear both as a clutch and a handbag and this one from rag & bone fits the bill. Super soft, thick strap, and I’ve already used it for quick errands and day dates with the hubby. With military roots seen throughout the new rag & bone campaign, it is no secret this messenger bag is as rugged as it is chic. This 100% calf skin cross-body still holds my everyday essentials (from almonds to chapstick to my huge iPhone charger). I usually veer away from evening bags since I need lots of versatility as a mom, also known as a bag that can take the wear and tear of mom life, hello stains and crumbs. However, I think the slight stains will only add to its character. That is the sign of a GREAT bag.

Thank you rag & bone for sponsoring this post!

4 LA Hotspots with Mercedes AMG

by Shalice Noel September 10, 2017

written by Shalice Noel

I had the opportunity to drive around Los Angeles in a Mercedes AMG convertible with a driver from Germany and photographer. I won’t lie, it wasn’t my worst job and I spent the day smiling (despite the LA traffic) with my hair blowing in the wind. Our goal was to visit as many LA hotspots as possible in this beautiful ocean blue Mercedes AMG convertible. Who knew LA had so many instagrammable spots? Actually you probably guessed it is FULL of photogenic hotspots, but we only had half a day, so I included 4 below. What are some of your favorites? I’d love to hear.

BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL – 9641 Sunset Blvd, 5 star LA hotel aka “The Pink Palace” is home to bar Nineteen12 and a pool where you are sure to capture a Kodak moment.

Pink Cashmere and Rips

Pink Cashmere

cropped jeans :: blush heels similar :: v-neck sweater :: bag

It’s crazy to think living in LA, but few things I love to wear more than anything is a comfy sweater. This one is cashmere, pink and a gorgeous v-neck. I love it with jeans or dressed up with trousers. Nordstrom carries an awesome assortment of choice rag & bone pieces beyond this awesome knit. What to look for you ask? I’m loving their tweed, gorgeous jeans (read more here), booties, and of course cashmere. I’ve gotten countless compliments on this sweater both for its shade of pink and oversize fit – perfect over jeans for that I rolled-out-of-bed-and-headed-to-brunch-kinda-chic. The look that we all secretly want, right? As for styling tips, I paired it with blush heels and clear aviators. Have you seen their sweatpants? Hello weekend chic. What’s your go-to comfy look?

rag & bone favorites

by Shalice Noel August 25, 2017

written by Shalice Noel

dre jeans :: sweater similar :: boots :: small field messenger

You probably guessed it already because yeah, they’re awesome, but I’m wearing one of my favorite pairs of jeans this fall from cult jean company, rag & bone. Somehow they always manage to stun us with their shapes, stripes and denim washes, but really? We all know what really matters when it’s all said and done, and that is the Fit. When you look at it that way, knowing that they have one of the best fits out there (and that’s saying something) and then look at the perfect distressing, cut-out details and overall awesomeness, it is not surprising to know that rag & bone has a crazy cult following. Who knew 98% cotton and 2% polyurethane is the recipe for that coveted fit? No fail, perfect hug every time. And maybe a little more hug after Taco Tuesday. Just saying.

I’m wearing the 10-ounce stretch Japanese denim slim fit boyfriend jeans in the dark but not too dark medium indigo wash with my calf suede booties with the 3.5″ heel. You’ll find me wearing these with booties, or pumps with a blazer for meetings, or platform sneakers for park dates. The key to versatility is quality basics that just get better with time. And yes, after one pair of their jeans, you just may want another pair.

Polka Dots Under $100 with Nordstrom

by Shalice Noel August 15, 2017

written by Shalice Noel

We have a busy season coming up with summer ending and school right around the corning. So this is the time to put on our favorite OOTD and hit the Art’s District for a leisurely walk around one of the most inspiring areas of Los Angeles. The area is thriving with old warehouses, murals and creative/fashionable people everywhere. I can’t help but leave with fresh new ideas I can’t wait to explore in my own closet. Fully inspired, I headed to Nordstrom looking for that pre labor day dress that was cute, but edgy. Polka dots are unapologetically bold and cute any season. The dress I’m wearing can be dressed up with heels for a meeting DTLA or dressed down with sneakers for an ice cream date in Pasadena. I also found this polka dot skirt (under $100!).

As for Nordstrom, well, who doesn’t love Nordstrom? Their customer service is five-star, and I seriously think that (along with their amazing merchandise selection) is what sets them apart from most retailers. I often go to Nordstrom with kids and a tight schedule and I’m always given the best service and the most options while my kids love getting balloons in the shoe department every. single. time. Whether I make it to the store or shop online, Nordstrom is my go-to for daily fashion and really should be for any busy mom on the go. I mean, I prefer dot com just to avoid the dressing room tantrums and constant “can we go” requests, but curb side service also works. All in all, Nordstrom makes it easy to get what you want, when you want it. So go find you some polka dots!

Micro Scootering in Venice

by Shalice Noel July 11, 2017

written by Shalice Noel

We like nothing better as a family than scootering to the park, tea, ice cream or just about anywhere. It’s always a race to get anywhere and Reid and I are often left in the dust. Thankfully, I just joined the squad with my very own white Micro-Scooter. The kids actually love that I can finally keep up with them on our way to ice cream or the park.

On the 4th of July morning, our scooter outing took us down to one of our favorite LA streets, Abbot Kinney where we grabbed some ice cream at Salt and Straw. We timed it perfect getting there right when they opened and didn’t have to wait in line. It was early enough that the sidewalks weren’t too crowded. We kept the speed down and found an open area where we could run in circles for awhile. It just so happened to be where one of my favorite LA walls are too!

Spending time as a family made the 4th of July Holiday all the more special. Keeping the celebration simple was key to a successful day with four kids. They really don’t need much. Just us, scooting along side of them.

Tips for Scootering:

Wear Helmets on your heads

Sneakers on your feet – not sandals

Our first lesson with our 4 year old was how to break, it’s an important one!
