The Bigger the Bells

by Shalice Noel November 1, 2016

written by Shalice Noel

When it comes to bell sleeves, the bigger the better. I love the drama of the sleeve. I plan to wear this top with these jeans to hang out with my cousin and the fam this weekend. And layer it with a trench, because it’s officially layering season. Hallelujah! My favorite season even if it means more palm trees than falling leaves. Hello SoCal Fall. As a reminder, check out my shop page with pieces of what I’m wearing and styling. I update it daily. Happy Tuesday!

All White with Nordstrom

shorts NORDSTROM :: bra NORDSTROM :: jacket UNDER ARMOR SIMILAR :: shoes NIKE ROSHE iD

There’s nothing I like more than an all-white workout outfit. And nothing motivates me more to workout than a new outfit. Thank you Nordstrom for the awesome selection of activewear! This all-white workout outfit is super comfy and perfect for tennis with the kids (who have just started lessons), and a quick run. I love that Nordstrom makes returns so easy – so I’m able to order multiple sizes to try and return what doesn’t fit without leaving my house. What inspires you to workout? My piano teacher growing up once told me a nugget of truth I’ll never forget: “to begin, is to be half done.” While it’s not completely true, it sure motivates me to start. And sometimes that little push is all I need to hit the pavement.

Also, see my shop page for more workout selections.

Thank you Nordstrom for partnering on this post!

Staying motivated with Nordstrom Activewear

by Shalice Noel October 30, 2016

written by Shalice Noel

Nothing beats a refreshing run on the bridge at golden hour. Although, if I’m honest, I’ll admit I get tired and easily bored with daily workouts. So tunes, new gear (hello cute Nike tank!) and changing up my routine are essential. So many of you have asked for my diet and exercise routine. While I will not go into much detail, the five minute explanation is this. I usually run 3 times a week and strength training 1-2 times a week. If I’m fighting the usual 5 lbs, I drink green and dandelion tea, lots of H20, snack on protein snacks like almonds (not empty carbs like chips) and eat balanced meals like rice and chicken (or fish) with veggies. I go easy on the carbs but always make exceptions for the dark chocolate. Everything in moderation, as Granny used to say. It’s tough to say no to a run with THIS kind of view AND new workout gear from Nordstrom. Style note: I included the sizes I ordered. Keep in mind, you can order multiple sizes and easily return the ones that don’t work out. Nordstrom is known for its amazing customer service.

Now, it’s your turn, how do YOU stay motivated to workout?

Falling for Velvet

by Shalice Noel October 29, 2016

written by Shalice Noel

As we all know, velvet is as hot as Malibu in October. HOT. While we love it because it plays with the light, we wear it because it feels like the coziest throw pillow. No joke. No wonder we’re all going gaga for velvet. Well, I am no exception. Here, I styled it with leather coated jeans, and midi brown boots. At a cool $148, its a great buy. I’ve already worn it three times in two days. How’s that for cost per wear?

Nordstrom Date Night in OMBRÉ

by Shalice Noel October 28, 2016

written by Shalice Noel

I’m working with Nordstrom showing my favorite date night look. I found this under $200, ombré metallic dress from Topshop at Nordstrom. I happened to be wearing this dress when my hubby and I left the restaurant and were walking around downtown Pasadena. It was funny when 5 random people stopped me on the street to tell me how much they loved this dress and where’s it from. It’s funny, the pieces I’m usually on the fence on, usually end up being my favorite pieces! It’s no joke, Nordstrom always delivers with awesome date night dress options but great customer service. As for styling advice, do size up on the dress and add this moto jacket when the temps dip.

Comfy Pants FTW

by Shalice Noel October 27, 2016

written by Shalice Noel

My baby has been requesting sword fights and refusing kisses. Yup, he’s joined the ranks of all the three-nagers. Cue the tears. However, I’m still loving this short time I have with him at home. His questions, his voice and occasional naps while laying on me. The latter I won’t lie is uncomfortable, but its precious. Since I work from home, I love switching it up with flowey pants – a nice change from the faux leather skinnies. And did I mention comfy? Now, off to lots of meetings. Happy Friday Eve!

A Closet Facelift with ANN TAYLOR

by Shalice Noel October 26, 2016

written by Shalice Noel

I’m working with Ann Taylor sharing two favorite looks. Sometimes I really love my job. And going to a fun store to find pieces to style is seriously fun. The other day I got to spend my afternoon at Pasadena’s Ann Taylor choosing pieces with the very lovely Sales Associate, Mariana. There was so much to choose from! From ruffly blouses and well-fitting faux leather leggings (yes! faux leather at Ann Taylor!) to plush coats with a tailored style, I had no trouble finding my eight pieces. Ultimately, it was the latter that sealed the deal. I mean, everybody knows I’m a sucker for faux leather. I styled a go-to career outfit, that also happens to double as a holiday look, and also an everyday lunching-with-friends look. Stock up now before your size is gone. Shop exact pieces here:

Black and Tan with Nordstrom

by Shalice Noel October 24, 2016

written by Shalice Noel

Don’t get me wrong, some of my favorite outfits are centered around a black moto jacket. However, I’m ready to ditch it for a hot minute while I try the tan version. I’m obsessed with camel, tan taupe, dirt brown, or however you like to call it. It goes with my ever-growing black-out wardrobe and looks great layered. Brown on brown, or dark brown on light brown, anyone? On this occasion, it was our day date; admittedly a rare occasion with work demands, late nights and let’s admit it, we’re just plain tired. So, we left the house for a date at Urth Caffé which included lots of coffee, boba, funky salads and some antique furniture exploring. Fun right? So, in between giving myself a break from the boyfriend cardi’s, and chunky knit sweaters, I’ll be wearing this tan version on repeat. ps. I just bought this cami to go underneath. Cheers to day dates, chillier days and lots of layers. Happy Fall!

One trend I do not foresee going anywhere is the bow tie trend. I personally love it, because its feminine and simply oh-so-practical with a built-in bowtie. See 5 faves below from $20 up.
