Hot Finds: Luxury for Less

I get asked often where I get my luxury items at a discount. To be honest, I scour the sites of used luxury items. Some are in new or near new condition and I pay a fraction of the retail price. Recently, I bought an Hermes belt at The Real Real and loved the product. Only regret was not buying a larger size. See below some of my luxury item picks. See how I styled my Hermès belt here and here.

Where I get my Denim Cutoffs

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

I get asked a lot about my denim and denim cutoffs are no exception. When we first moved to LA, we took the family to the Silverlake farmer’s market. We got flowers, fruit and denim cutoffs. Definitely not on the list, but who doesn’t love an unexpected find?

1.Vintage LEVIS  I get mine at Silverlake Farmer’s Market, check your vendors at your local market, you never know what you’ll find!

2. AEO Denim x High Rise Shortie was the best fit and length overall and did I mention under $55? High-fives all around.

3. Topshop I sized up and overall the best high rise. These look the closest to the ones I found at the market.

4. Levis have these in black, and white.

5. Asos has cute ones, and these  and these are no exception.

6. One Teaspoon I like the Bandits and Le Wolves – which fit true to size.

Baseball Chic

 Hats are great to make any outfit more casual. I’m loving baseball hats on bad hair days, like today, or just to make an outfit less formal. A real quick way to make an outfit look put together and chic is a baseball cap and topcoat. Underneath I have a simple turtleneck and jeans. When I’m out running around with my boys while the girls are at school, we usually have lots of errands to run and all I need are easy separates and a chic coat. See more casual chic HERE. And here are a couple topcoats I’m loving from around the web. Happy Tuesday!

3 Things I’ve learned as a Mom

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

3 Things I’ve learned as a Mom:

1. Not everything will be perfect. Plan for the worst. In which case, my mom bag is stocked with lollipops, trail mix, almonds for me and hubby and Fig bars for the kids from Costco. I’ve learned these items make anything from traffic delays to waiting at the doctor’s office, MUCH smoother.

2. Enjoy the moments. This is harder than it reads. And to do this successfully you will have to say NO to what is good for what is BEST. Lots of discernment is needed to decide. Sometimes I give up potential brand partnerships and events, to spend quality time with my kids.

3. Don’t judge. Every mom and child is at a different place – I used to look at parenting so differently as a single – now I get it and give every mom some grace. Especially during that 4 pm, grocery store line when they’re grabbing for candy and chocolate. Been there. If you’re a mom, what have you learned, please share in the comments. Read more of my mother’s day commentary here.

Weekend alert: Ruffle Sweaters

I always loved sweaters, but especially ruffled sweaters. There’s something whimsical and feminine about a ruffled knit that I like to pair with rips or black raw hem jeans. Need some styling tips? I also love a ruffled sweater over a maxi dress and flats. Or wide leg pants and ruffled sweater. It gives raw rips that nouveau riche. What do you think? This weekend my mom comes so it’s a happy Friday indeed! See this post on ruffles for more inspiration.

Pink x Camel for Valentines Day

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

Valentines Day is coming up and Reid and I are headed someplace warm, sans kids. We’re super excited to get away and can’t wait for an excuse to sit by the pool without an interruption. So, this Valentines Day, I’m loving bright pink ruffles (no surprise), trusty Levis, and blush ankle strap heels. If you’re unsure how to style bright and loud colors, pair them with jeans and a muted suede trench. It looks a lot more pulled together. Since we’re talking about Valentine’s Day, here’s me and Reid’s engagement story if you missed it. Hope you are off to a lovely week!

5 Black Jeans to try this weekend

written by Shalice Noel

LA has been around 50 degree’s every morning, so layers are non-negotiable. Here, I wore a camisole, soft sweater, distressed black jeans, and go-to black boots. This outfit would also look good with a denim jacket or a faux fur coat. These black layers are wonderful basics for your closet!

Update your Work Wardrobe

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel


Is your work wardrobe slacking? You may be surprised what a couple updates will do to your overall look. Welcome the ruffle sleeve, the gray topper, the pencil skirt and over-the-knee-boots. These are some simple chic pieces that will finish any look. I can easily trade the boots for flats and a leather jacket, or the pencil skirt for skinny jeans. The options are limitless when you have neutral basics. See more workwear in THIS earlier post. What’s your favorite go-to look?

How to Camouflage

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

How was your weekend? If I’m honest, I’m lying in bed under the weather after one of our busiest weekends yet since moving to LA. Lots of fun projects and our first beach day of 2017, so no regrets. If you’re in need of some style inspiration for the week, wear camouflage! Here, I styled it with neutral grays  and a neutral bag. As a styling rule of thumb, treat camouflage like leopard. Don’t wear it head to toe, and compliment it with neutrals. Viola, weekday casual at its best.

4 Ways to Look Better in your Own Clothes

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

I’m sharing a couple styling tips I use myself. To be honest, it’s not everyday I feel 100% in an outfit. It takes lots of trial and error to get an outfit right for an event, occasion, or the blog. When I don’t feel like wearing anything but pajama pants, aka having an ‘off’ day, I use the following tips:

1. Nude heels elongate the leg, making you appear taller.

2. A Belt – Cinching the waist is the easiest way to creating shape.

3. Pointed Toe shoes and boots – believe it or not, a pointed toe boot, heel or flat also elongates the legs, making you appear taller and therefore slimmer.

4. Wear monotone colors – for example, wear a let’s say black turtleneck with a black pencil skirt underneath a cozy shearling coat or colorful blazer. Instant slimming! No protein shakes, 35 min stair steps, or exhausting cardio required. Sound convincing?

THIS designer was onto something, chevron is an incredibly flattering shape. See my  top chevron picks here.

Shop the look below. I’m curious, what are your tips to looking the best in your own threads? I can’t wait to hear.
