With so many weddings and events, a girl needs dress options. I pulled some of my favorite dresses (the one I’m wearing has pockets!) that are ever-so flattering and fun for Bar Mitzvah’s, weddings, or graduations. Hey, consider it a belated birthday gift to yourself.

This Memorial Day weekend couldn’t have come at a better time. We need an extra day to prepare for our upcoming road trip to Chicago. Think lots of kids outfits in ziploc bags, trail mix, and piles everywhere. Did I mention piles? Funny enough, we ditched the to-do list and headed to Manhattan Beach and pool party with our church. It was definitely fun filled and they didn’t want it to end. Shop my Summer uniform lately, white shirts, cutoffs and a baseball cap. What’s your Summer uniform?

When you are asked to host an event in Chicago with Tiffany & Co. and Coveteur, you do not hesitate. Plus it gave me an excuse to catch up on all the Lou Malnati’s pizza, my best friend, my family, etc, etc. I brought my four year-old who spent most of my 5 days in Chicago catching up with cousins over Lego’s and my sister’s yummy cooking. While he was catching up with family, I was able to connect with Chicago blogger friends I have missed since moving to LA. Tiffany gave me a great excuse to go back home, host an event on a rooftop, talk with guests from all over the country, enjoy eats and sips and try on the new Tiffany Hardware collection. SWOON. It is so lovely and edgy – the pieces all went with what I was wearing, my favorite being the rings. I was so thankful for the friends and family who came out to support me and the collection. If you were there and reading this, THANK YOU! It brought a smile to my face to meet people who said they follow me and came out to see the collection. All in all a lovely stay and I’ll have to admit, I’m missing that room service.

We’ve been venturing out to more neighborhoods like Silverlake and loving the vibe. Laid back, artsy, and great coffee shops. And did I mention cool vintage cars? I’m a fan. It’s starting to feel like summer so what’s easier than a summer dress? I love that its only one piece and all you need is shoes to complete the outfit. Love this red handkerchief style dress that is also under $100! Shop more under $100 selections from Nordstrom below. Happy Friday!

I recently spent the day with Locale Magazine sharing some of my favorite Manhattan Beach places to stay, eat and shop! It was a fun non-stop day – think lots of outfit changes, and walking from shop to cafe. Thankfully, everything is so close and so quaint! I just love MB, friendly people, great shops and did I mention awesome views? Go get yourself a copy of the new issue – out now! Or see it digitally HERE.

Nordstrom Rack has beautiful essentials and many of my favorite brands at a discount. Think ruffles, gold earrings, flare jeans, and chic sandals. I love that this red ruffle blouse can be dressed up or down with white jeans or white pants. Options are key when my Monday often requires a blouse to transition from school drop-off to meetings to date night. Thankfully, Nordstrom Rack is a one-stop-shop for cute basics for the whole family. A friend told me about their mini Hunter boots and cute tops for my girls. So cute! See here my previous post with Nordstrom Rack. My advice is act fast to secure your size.

silk trench – an everyday must have. I wore one all week in Chicago plus a couple layers, and minus a couple temps. Bonus: its super chic. Here’s a $69 version.
Every girlfriend and mom friend I know is complaining about not having enough summer tops. Enter the cute ever versatile white ruffle top. The cost per wear is impressive, and especially stunning with a tan.
Two words: so stunning.
Scarves aren’t just for the french. Add it to a white tee and jeans for that pulled together I just left the left bank kinda look.
a good TEE is hard to find, enter this one by FRAME. You’re welcome.
A good smelling candle sets the mood is makes a house or bedroom feel warm and inviting.
A baby Chanel is on everyone’s list. Pat yourself on your back men if you’re planning on getting this for your wife.
Gray sneakers FTW! These are super super cute, get them before they sell out!
Get mom some new sunnies. These are a versatile fit.

Casual Friday is everyday for me as a mom. So here’s a comfy bodysuit, jeans, mules and go-to leather jacket. All comfy enough to chase my favorite superhero. Happy Tuesday!
Happy Humpday! I thought I’d share answers to some of my most asked questions:
How do I sign up for the emails for your Liketoknowit instagrams?
Go to Liketoknowit.com and sign up with your email – it takes a couple minutes and you can shop my outfit links from your email. So cool.
What sunglasses are you always wearing?
These are by Sunday Somewhere – I switch it up with my Quay which I also love.
What jeans and sandals were you wearing in yesterday’s boomerang?
sweater here (its on sale!), jeans are by AG ex boyfriend slim, sandals are old Joie, I linked similar here.
What is your number one advice to someone starting out your blog or Instagram?
Be consistent. Find what works – study what your audience is responding to most and do more of that. There will be down days and up weeks, you just have to keep going. There are days I’m so tired the night before, but deadlines are real, even in a job that I love. The best part is its doing something I love so it never feels like a chore.
How did you grow your Instagram account?
Some big companies and accounts reposted me. It’s a great way to grow organically, which is the best way to grow.
What are you doing in Chicago next week?
I’ll be hosting an event with Tiffany & Co. May 3, email us if you want more info! mgmt@shalicenoel.com or rsvp to Tiffany@skoogproductions.com.
Hope that answered a couple of your questions, if I didn’t, what is your question?
