I’ll be choosing some of my favorites and top picks here on the blog and Instagram. Like THIS JACKET, LACE DRESS and this STRIPE MOCK NECK I always stock up on for fall. I mean, at seventeen bucks, it’s a no-brainer. Follow along as I take way too many dressing room selfies. Gear up, this is a great time to think ahead for fall – and thankfully you have a stylist on your side 😉

Winner: Nordstrom gift card

by Shalice Noel July 13, 2016

written by Shalice Noel

Gracias and thank you for ALL of your comments and entries. It made me think that I should do more giveaways! And I wish I had a gift card for each of you! I realized I have A LOT of mom’s that follow the blog, am I right? So, if I told you I’m honestly still tired from Monday’s doctor appointment with all four kids you would believe me. And actually, the kids have it harder because the recovery from shots and blood work is tough on 5, 6, and 8 year olds. They’ve been watching lots of movies and thanks to some Children’s Tylenol, have perked up! I’m usually a fast moving get-lots-of-things-done-in-a-little-time-person and I’m learning to SLOW DOWN and even sit on the couch with them, ask them what is their favorite thing to do with mommy? Ask your kids that, especially if you have multiple children. Mine said “Go on a date” so we will do just that, even if it is to Ralph’s for a couple packs of gum to make memories, foster relationships and an effort to freeze these fleeting moments.

And with that . . .

the winner is . . . . Maridel Soriente Dubb please email shalice@shalicenoel.com to claim your gift card. Enjoy!!

3 year Anniversary

dress REBECCA MINKOFF SIMILAR/shoes TOPSHOP / bag MCM

To celebrate my 3-year blog anniversary, I’m giving away what I would want to receive: $100 to spend at Nordstrom. It also happens to be the Nordstrom Anniversary sale this week. Get excited. It’s seriously so good and I usually score some great essentials that carry me through to fall.

I started shalicenoel.com after I had my 4th child and needed an outlet. Hooray for hobbies that turn into legit jobs! I painstakingly created flatlay #ootd’s on our wood floor, took 100 shoe seflies #fromwhereistand and chased the light before I went in to make dinner. I use the word ‘painstakingly’ because I was doing the flatlays between replenishing my little people’s water cups, wiping bottoms, answering the door, and cleaning up the baby powder before someone slipped in it. To say it’s been a roller coaster is an understatement. So many highs, like awesome partnerships with Burberry and Nordstrom, and lows – oh, I have a sick kid AND a deadline. Hmm, how’s this going to look? I’ve learned by trial and error what works and what doesn’t, but I always seem to be reevaluating weekly. I have days that I question what I do, and I think any working mom will empathize. But at the end of the day it’s about relationships and you only do what you can do. We’re only human. I’m thankful to my omnipotent God, my supportive husband, patient children and good coffee.

To thank YOU, for following along, leave a comment below and I’ll choose a random person below to give them the $100 Nordstrom giftcard. Not sponsored. Winner announced Wednesday 7/13.

Good luck!

DATE NIGHT: Polka Dots

by Shalice Noel July 9, 2016

written by Shalice Noel

I’m loving polka dots lately! I can’t seem to get enough. From socks to tops, this print is crazy versatile and this skirt is no exception. I may change it up this weekend for our froyo date night by pairing this skirt with a denim shirt, white tee (on sale) or this unexpected $24 blouse. Happy weekend!

Asos Outfits Style Top 5

Under $50 ASOS scores

by Shalice Noel July 8, 2016

written by Shalice Noel

Life is too short not to know about ASOS under $50 scores. I mean, SO GOOD. Tip: If you’re unsure about sizing, order both. You can easily return the one that doesn’t fit since there is free shipping both ways. My mailman is sweet enough to take my returns or I pack the kids in the car and drive to our post office a couple blocks away. Either way, it’s pretty easy!

Shop both looks below.

maxi dress ($43) ASOS / espadrilles ($only 30!) ASOS “ballet” espadrilles by ASOS and THESE / leather jacket ASOS / plunge strapless bra ASOS

cold shoulder top ($26) ASOS / mom jeans ASOS / star heels ($49) ASOS

One Statement Piece

by Shalice Noel July 7, 2016

written by Shalice Noel

If I were to give you any styling advice, I’d say: style an outfit around one piece. be it a stripe tee, a polka dot skirt, a blue bag, or a wrap heel. And then add in the following quality basics: denim, crisp white blouses, a statement bag and designer shoes. Even though I’m the last person to live by less is more (just look at my mess of a shoe closet), less really is more. And I hope to pass down the AGL shoes, the Chloé satchel and MCM bag to my daughters who have already put dibs on them. Just maybe I can train them to help me organize my shoe closet first.

5 Off the Shoulder Dresses

by Shalice Noel July 6, 2016

written by Shalice Noel

In my personal opinion, everyone needs a chill, off-the-shoulder dress that works for both errands (in gladiator sandals) and date night (with a wedge). Sometimes one needs practical and efficient, as well as fashionable. I’ve been budgeting my time by shooting looks once a week, writing copy when Reid is home and posting daily here at the blog. It’s been giving me more time to make dinner and play Legos with my little guys before they leave for school next month! Be sure to sign up via email to see what I’m working on next.

Gingham x Culottes

by Shalice Noel July 5, 2016

written by Shalice Noel

Within walking distance of the Alfred Tea Room on Melrose, we found this beautiful house which became the location for this shoot. While we were standing out front, the owner came out and invited us to his garden and coach house, both of which looked straight out of a magazine or an exotic location in Costa Rica.

I’m obviously loving gingham lately and it has proved to be not just for picnics, but an ever versatile warm weather sister to plaid. And when in doubt, the bigger the check, the better.

Date Night Distressed jeans Outfits Style

Date night: KIKI DRESS x jacket

by Shalice Noel July 4, 2016

written by Shalice Noel

Besides the hubby calling me a figure skater when I first wore this, I think he really liked it. But he knows bottom line if I like something, his opinion doesn’t stand a chance. Sorry babe. With a tiered bodice, eyelash trim, and a well worn jacket, what’s not to like? Usually our favorite Gracias Madrè and a swing by Verve for black coffee ends date night. All of which helps us remember we’re in love, we’re a team, and ready to greet our cute 6am 3′ tall alarm clock.
