{shop} Four Faux Fur

by Shalice Noel October 5, 2015

written by Shalice Noel

The silver lining to dipping temps? Why faux fur of course. I can’t get enough of them worn over jeans or dresses. Here’s my top four that I’ll be reaching for come forty-nine degrees, that is, besides a venti hot chocolate with extra whip. What are some of your faves?

1. Blush faux fur that’s sporty and sweet? yes please. (ANTHROPOLOGIE)

2. Nothing beats a faux fur collar, well, maybe an Aquazzura sample sale. Just sayin. (F21)

3. The bigger the coat, the skinnier your legs look. Not a fact, but worth a try. (ASOS)

4. The kind of faux fur that fakes you out, glams you up, and never leaves you disappointed. (ELIZA J)

{fashion} Mustard pants

At first, I wasn’t sure if I loved or hated mustard pants. I loved the color paired with classic suede but I’ll admit, as a stylist, it’s not an easy color to pull off. But something held my eye once I saw them, so I took them home to experiment. I discovered I liked them best with similar tones, like browns, but loved it layered with a feminine blouse, masculine plaid and versatile booties. It just felt so fall! Give it a try! I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Plaid is another great fall favorite, dressed up or down, and I can’t wait to layer it with a moto jacket. At the moment I’m off to catch a plane to JFK for the Kendra Scott dinner in NYC. Looking forward to this quick trip, and thankful for the short 48 hour getaway to meet new faces. Naturally, I packed some plaid and mustard along with leather. Happy fall!

{momlife} weekend things

by Shalice Noel September 25, 2015

written by Shalice Noel

The weekend is all about getting things done right? Doing homework (shifting it from the living room rug to the desk) breakfast cinnamon rolls (from a can), packing for NYC next week (pile all favorite shoes in a corner), and sleeping in (not). While I hope to do some of those things, and do them well, I’m not going to beat myself up. I was just chatting with a mom about how much guilt we as moms experience. There’s career guilt, housekeeping guilt, and mom guilt. Pick your guilt, there’s a name for it. I easily feel like an inadequate mom, blogger, stylist and mother. The latter of which has been the biggest (but most rewarding) challenge. Do you feel the same? I know I’m not alone here. Just keeping it real. I like posting pretty pictures of smiling faces but behind it all is real life, silent prayers for help, real challenges and a kid missing a shoe. But I’m not beating myself up for it. I’m sharing one of my favorite quotes: “There’s no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one.”

Have a great weekend xx

{interview} Rachel Zoe: 1 Fall Musthave

by Shalice Noel September 21, 2015

written by Shalice Noel

I caught up with Rachel Zoe at the Sorel Boot store in NYC this week and was able to jog her brain for fall’s finest, but just one must have. Her response? Boots! I quickly asked which boots, to which she replied, she preferred over the knee but really all. I happen to agree. If boots are what you’ll will be wearing 24/7 come next week Fall, here’s your guide to chic (in seven ways to be exact):

1. This is the kind of dress that can be worn with boots and a turtleneck or a blouse. Or tie dye shirt from high school. Your call.

2. This dress in navy or wine perfectly compliments over the knee boots. And under $50. Score.

3. A fringe over the knee boot in black that has texture and movement, love.

4. The gold details on this suede bootie are everything. Think foot jewelry. Just as much bang, less buck HERE.

5. This weather worn ankle boot has just enough buckle and point to win in the effortless chic department.

6. These black over the knee boots are just classic and worn over and again.

7. Hold onto your hat, this color and shape is everything.

I’m currently at New York Fashion Week and there is no denying flares are a fall must–have. A 70’s revival of sorts. Thankfully, I kept a lot of my flares and bells from high school and college. Way to think ahead right? Or, maybe I need to practice more spring cleaning. Yikes. Either way, flares give that effortless chic vibe. Here, I’m sporting the Talbot’s Flawless 5-pocket paired with chambray. A combination I can’t get enough of. See more of their Flawless 5 Pocket Jeans for more info. Now back to dodging the rain at NYFW!

Picking out their favorite Koi fish at Garfield Park Conservatory.

Blazer // Infinity Scarf // Vintage Jeans Similar / Fur Stole / Boots

Boots

Pina LaceTop

I’m often asked, what is my number one go to piece in the dead of winter? One word: fur. And if fur is what I wear, the Conservatory is where we go in the dead of winter. 60 degree January in Chicago, anyone? Nothing pulls it up a notch like fur. For a quick effortless look, I pair a fur stolewith a black blazer or coat. Along the same lines, nothing beats a fur infinity scarf paired with a bleached jean or leather moto jacket. The latter of which is one of my favorite pieces from Anthropologie that looks dead on with lace. So, next time you’re running out the door with a toddler glued to your leg and a tired wool coat, reach for a fur stole or infinity scarf for that pulled together under $35 look. Bring it on winter.

P.S. See my interview with Anthropologie on their blog !!
