I’m on my way to my daughter’s field trip today, but flashback to this look I never shared from our vacation at 1 Hotels South Beach. Here I paired a pale leather moto jacket, navy ruffle skirt, black fishnet socks and Miu Miu heels. See this pink and camel look I posted earlier. Happy Thursday!
Taken at 1 Hotels South Beach
I lived in paris for 3 months, and besides the hit my credit card took in those three months (yikes), I actually learned about just how the french dress. Always so chic, so pulled together, so polished, and I’m always drooling over their accessory choices, Hermès scarf anyone? Basically, it’s all about which items to invest in. Read on:
1. don’t underestimate the power of red. My friend found this leather skirt second hand vintage. Looove. I also like red accessories like a red lip, red bag or red heels.
2. layer with a trench, I usually size down to get a more tailored look. I like this one and this one. Layer it over jeans and a tee for a laid back look.
3. no make up, no problem. When in doubt, sunnies are an easy way to polish a look.
4. don’t forget one luxury item: Hermès belt here or a luxury bag or shoes. I don’t mind pairing Levi’s, a cheap tee, and Chanel flats. Pas de problème.

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.

It’s often difficult to find an outfit that can work from business casual to drinks with girlfriends. But I found it. I mean leggings and a baseball hat are brought to the next level with simple red lip, rope heels and the right sunglasses, am I right? Here I cannot stress enough how versatile an oversize gray sweater is with streamline leatherette pants. Because you don’t have enough lazy days, you can’t have enough cozy gray sweaters. Personally, since a whole lot of running four kids around LA is anything but smooth, I need easy separates I feel good in and work for dinner later at République. You’re welcome. Happy Tuesday!
More gray tops I like:
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?

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?
