One of my faithful readers asked me to write a blog post on what to wear to a wedding. She had no idea what to wear to the multiple weddings she was planning to attend this summer, so I accepted the challenge. First off, not all weddings are created equal. The bride and groom can opt for anything from high-end evening city wedding to a backyard barbecue. And everything in between. Have no fear, I covered the basics for you to arrive appropriately chic. Here’s hoping you don’t steal the show.

BLACK TIE :: Bust out your maxi dress. Long and elegant is the name of the game. I like this one.

BACKYARD I would wear this dress from today’s blog post for this occasion. Try something fun: sheer (like this option), a bow, a stripe, and just have fun with it.

CITY Don’t be afraid to again go long and chic, streamline and lacey. Like this lace and sequin midi dress. Or this under $50 LBD that goes brilliantly with nude heels and faux fur.

CONSERVATIVE — opt for floral or a navy dress and midi length.

DESTINATION Let loose a little in an off-the-shoulder floral dress, floral midi, gingham, and ruffle off the shoulder knee length

Patricia from Esemblē recently interviewed me. See the full interview on HERE and below, hope you enjoy. XO

1.     Please briefly introduce yourself.

I’m a wife, mother and creator of the fashion blog Shalicenoel.com

2.     What are the three essential items you’re currently carrying in your Kiosk Tote?

Stila in Beso, Baby wipes, and Kiehls lip butter – so moisturizing!

3.     ESEMBLĒ represents more than just a brand, it carries certain values, attitudes, and ways of living that makes the name unique and enchanting, just like our modern girl. What does it mean to you to be a ‘modern girl’?

Ball juggler, wearer of many hats. None of my friends have one job, they’re juggling multiple professions, as moms, small business owners, and volunteers. It’s an amazing job!


4.     ESEMBLĒ’s brand mantra is to celebrate the little joys in life. What little joys in life do you celebrate?

Enjoying time at the beach with my family. Celebrating my children’s birthdays, their laughs, and snuggling them. Life is too short not to enjoy the little moments.

5.     The quote “The world is your oyster” encourages girls to be fearless in their endeavors – What do you aspire to for your future?

To live, love well, and give all glory to God.


While ‘Spring forward’ is more of a rude awakening losing one hour, Spring colors are more than welcome. Think pinks, reds, and even floral. When in doubt, pair similar tones like pink, red, mauve, with jeans. This is the perfect outfit for lunch with a friend or date night. Trust, me, you’ll be seeing more of this blush trench. See another blush look here. Happy Monday, hope you had a lovely weekend.

Happy Friday! Here are 6 belts I’m loving now. They give that necessary pop to an outfit and I’m loving them over sweaters, dresses, and tunics. Sometime a little waist jewelry is all you need to pull an outfit together. A good belt adds structure to a loose tunic and gold detail to an otherwise neutral outfit. Because few looks such as a belt, jeans, sweater and trench pull off laissez-faire so well. How do you wear yours?

Some days – scratch that, most days I want the easiest outfit I can wear to run errands- sneak in a meeting and make it on time for school pick up. Yes, most days the latter is a miracle.  I must admit, there are also the delightful parts of being a mom of four – each child has a distinct humor, character and it’s so fun when they make you laugh and cover you in hugs! I mean where else can you get all that under one roof? I’m wearing all black, my fave ripped denim jacket, black boots and a market bucket bag to hold flowers and my credit card. I mean, what else does a girl need?

If you ask me what details up any outfit it’s hands down the bag and shoes. Of course, stripes are a great backdrop to almost every outfit, fishnet socks – I like short ones and a cognac leather bag. See here how I style more stripes. Happy Humpday!

A get the most questions about my jeans, so I’m sharing some top jeans I love and under $100! Yes – don’t delay. Sizes are limited. Generally, I like to have a good pair of black, denim, and colored jeans on hand to tackle any outfit. I’m really loving jeans with feminine tops and cardigans for when the weather transitions. What are your favorites?

When asked how best to style dark jeans, I opt for whites and neutrals. Specifically a white off the shoulder top, (I prefer arm inserts for a good fit), clear or neutral bag, and wrap neutral heels. The one’s I’m wearing are almost sold out, but these also are a close second. What are your go-to’s? Also, stay tuned for a fun event I’m hosting in Santa Monica, this Tuesday, March 7, can’t wait!

The setting could not have been more beautiful. On a rooftop restaurant with a clear view of the Hollywood Hills, we sipped and nibbled on yummy bites before we went live on Beauty IQ. The theme of the night was Red Carpet Beauty and QVC and BeautyIQ were featuring brands and products inspired by the glamour of Hollywood and of course Red Carpet beauty. I was so honored to be asked to contribute to the panel on QVC’s Facebook Beauty IQ live on event Tuesday night in Hollywood. It’s always more exciting when it’s live! Along with Allure beauty editor Jessica Chia and fellow influencers, I was asked about beauty trends in light of the Oscars, Sunday night. We discussed the new lines that are carrying glitter make-up, how Hollywood glam always works on the red carpet, and when in doubt, add a red lip. Speaking of new lines, I was excited to see some brands I have already used and love like like Peter Thomas Roth, Wen Conditioner, Mally Beauty, and bonus, the new HP Sproket which is so fun to use for quick little prints from your phone. I linked below some of my favorite QVC beauty items that are amazingly priced for every budget. Thank you QVC family for having me and sponsoring this post.

While it may seem like Abercrombie + Fitch is catering more to the younger set (think tweens and teens), a recent shopping trip there was an eye-opener. Abercrombie + Fitch has stepped it up and I’m loving all the colors, enviable basics, and great classic styles that made it so popular in the first place. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll notice I’ve been wearing this trench coat on repeat. Thankfully, this taupe beauty happened to arrive at my doorstep during the heart of LA’s crazy cool and wet February weather. Also, these jeans and gingham top, like most Abercrombie + Fitch items are under $100.
Oh, and did I mention the kids’ section? The selection is melt-your-heart good.  The darling shorts are still darling after lots of active wear–and still in one piece, without holes. They’re cute AND shenanigan-proof. Can you ask for more? And I was more than happy that he actually liked his hat well enough to keep it on. His dad is even jealous of that hat.  It’s the little things in life that make you smile, right? Thank you Abercrombie + Fitch for sponsoring this post and reintroducing me to the brand and new styles. Go find some new favorites!
