Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Classic Pieces to Invest in at a Discount

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel
similar coat and similar // january tee (only $31! And a great length) // leggings (only $19) // boots // sunglasses 
My approach to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this year has been to look at it as shopping strategically. It’s so, so easy to feel overwhelmed, which is why I’ve tried to break things down into categories and think forward for fall and winter. And speaking of fall and winter, there are so many classic investment pieces on sale right now for the upcoming seasons. You know, the things you know your closet needs but always seem a little too pricey to actually buy. Now is definitely the time! Sales can be a fun time to try more trendy items at a discount, but I’m definitely shopping for those classic pieces at a discount.
If you’ve been focusing on trying to create more of a capsule wardrobe, I also can’t suggest enough taking time to sift through the sale. You can snag some great everyday basics for practically any budget. Especially if you’re a mama like me and need to grab some back to school clothes for your kids or even for the guy in your life (I rounded up all of my favorites for the guys here).

Another tip for the mamas out there reading this—curbside pickup. Of course anyone can utilize it and I highly recommend it, but if you’re running around like I am right now trying to prepare for baby number 5, it’s definitely the convenience factor you’ve been looking for.

What basics are you shopping for right now? I want to know your best purchase yet!
Thank you Nordstrom for sponsoring this post!

How to Achieve that Comfy Chic

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

BP tank (only $12)// One Teaspoon Skirt similar // Adidas trainers (only $67!) // Chloe sunnies // hat similar // bag WHOWHATWEAR // sweater cardigan (from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale)// Gucci belt 

I learned in my 31 weeks into my fifth pregnancy, that in order to achieve that pregnancy chic you long to achieve, you need a couple comfy basics you can easily dress up. And dress up to the tune of a Gucci belt, stripe weekender and chic lil black and white trainers. Oh, and don’t forget the hat. I wear a TON of black and realized its really the most flattering at this point. Let’s face it, I really feel the weight of this extra 20 lbs, and feel all of my weight and width especially when I find myself stuck in between two car doors. Yikes! No wonder my back hurts! I recently tried on a light gray maxi dress and hubby even acknowledged I looked bigger in it. Complaints aside, I’m starting to think about buying more boy clothes, aka nesting, and excited to set up his room! Very exciting things to come. Don’t forget you can shop all my instagrams here on the blog – no app or sign ups required. What’s your go-to comfy basic?

Happy Wednesday!

5 Investment Buys Every Girl Should Own

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel
My life is basically in the fast lane all the time. There’s no time to second guess, overthink, or overbuy (hello messy closet, I see you). With a house full of 6 (soon to be 7), we are decluttering to the tune of 5 bags a week to donations. While I feel like that’s not enough, progress is everything. It has also got me thinking about items in my closet that I wear OVER and OVER again. Like these Chloe Susanna Booties I scored on eBay.
I don’t like paying full price, so I utilize sites like eBay, Poshmark, and Rebag. They are great places to check first before you hand over the Amex for the $1300 boots. Trust me on this, do your research. I don’t usually have a ton of time, in between cutting hot dogs, arriving late to swim lessons, remembering to take my prenatal vitamin (or completely forgetting to take my prenatal vitamin)—you get the point. There really aren’t enough hours in the day.
However, I do manage to remember certain keywords to plug in like “Hermes Oran sandal size 40” or “Chloe Susanna Boot” or last week I searched, “New Nike Running shoe girls size 1″ for my daughter. I’ll usually skim the options, and if I don’t see anything, I’ll check again the next day. Consistency usually pays off with me saving money and a package at the door a couple days later. Yay for fast shipping via eBay! (not sponsored;)
So, with all of that said, here are 5 investment buys every girl should own, but always remember you don’t necessarily have to pay full price!
5 Investment Buys for Smart Spending

Chloe Susanna Boots (I also love the Anine Bing version)

Hermes Oran Sandals

Stella McCarney Blazer

Chloe Faye Bag

Alexandre Birman ‘Clarita’ Sandals

Bonus: I love these CHANEL slingbacks and THESE DUPES for a fraction of the price. See my post HERE on how to know you’re buying authentic.

Now, my secret’s out. It’s your turn, where are your favorite places to get used items?

My Very Doable Pregnancy Workout

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

Tools: what you’ll need

RESISTANCE RING //

I’ve been wanting a low impact workout for pregnancy and I think I found it. Hubby some of you may know is a fitness fanatic, so I asked his professional opinion and this was it. I don’t want to have to have a ton of fitness to do after baby, so I’m making attempts to stay active during this pregnancy. I’m actually using this fitness ring as I write this blog post!! I figured its an under $20 Amazon impulse buy that actually works. Read on!

Keeping up a fitness routine is hard no matter what phase of life I’m in. Whether it was in college balancing the books with free time or motherhood and the lack of any solid alone time. I must say though, having some kind of fitness habits while pregnant has got to be the hardest. But, not all hope is lost because now that I’m on my fifth pregnancy, I’ve learned a few things. First, I carry totally different between boys and girls. I held a lot more water with my girls and staying motivated was tough. With the boys (my current pregnancy is a boy), my belly literally just popped out and everything else has stayed pretty much normal, which makes wanting to move a lot easier.

As far as actual exercise and staying active goes, here are some tips for maintaining muscle and cardio endurance while in your third trimester.

  1. If you don’t have resistance bands, I highly recommend them. They are versatile for all body parts—I can do arm curls, tricep extensions, some shoulder lifts, back flies, etc., all with only the bands. The resistance is just enough to give me a slight burn, but not worry about weight, throwing off my balance, pinching a nerve or causing contractions.
  2. For my legs, I use a ring. It’s great for the inner thighs and even strengthens your birthing muscles. Knowing this can help come birth day keeps me motivated while I tone my legs.
  3. For cardio, I stick to walking. Any kind of bouncing makes me nervous. I know some woman run marathons up to nine months, but not me. I’d rather just keep my heart rate up to a healthy pace and then take a rest with a nice glass of water.
  4. Speaking of water—staying hydrated is essential to a healthy pregnancy. Make sure to carry a water bottle with you everywhere you go and don’t let the kids drink all of it.

Anyone else have any fitness tips for pregnancy? I’d love to hear them.

How To Wear a T-Shirt Dress

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

If you know me well, I gravitate to some of the same favorites: a tee shirt dress and booties being among them. This cardigan and booties are on the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and I’m hooked! This cardigan will also look great with jeans and comes in ivory and gray. Size down since it runs large. Off to Lake Arrowhead for a long weekend. Hoping to get some rest after a long week!

Happy Saturday!

Favorite Combos: Shearling x Sneakers

written by Shalice Noel

shearling coat // $11 tee // jeans only $51! // sneakers only $67! // sunglasses // similar ring //  photos by Felicia Lasala

Who’s headed somewhere cold to wear these layers? If you’re not the one that raised your hand, take heart, this is a great time to pat yourself on the back for buying now and wearing later. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale items are mostly fall items and they go back up to regular retail prices August 5. I love wearing sneakers and flats especially today carrying so much weight at 29 weeks! I surprised myself that I could still jump, haha! Jump on these pieces now before they sell out!

Nordstrom Men’s Sale!

written by Shalice Noel

1 Workout SHORTS // 2 Woven Shirt // 3  Dip Dyed Shirt (Hubby loves the RVCA brand!) 4 I LOVE a good Henley on a guy, well, my guy //5 Quay Sunglasses //6 MCM Card Case 7 Slim Fit Pants // 8 Asics Sneakers 9  Vans Classic Sneakers  10 Penny Loafer

I don’t know about you, but I usually shop for my husband. He gives me feedback on colors and such, but in general, since I’m the stylist, I I tell him what looks good on him. And he usually agrees! He occasionally disagrees like a couple things I got him for Christmas, but you win some you lose some. I’ve made note that he doesn’t like baggy clothes, argyle vests, he’s more edgy than preppy, and anything made of tan and yellow is a no-go. Now, that we have that cleared, here are his favorites! Do you know that I shop off these collages he makes? Last time he asked for a back pack (among many things), I ordered it from here and everyone was happy. Little surprise but good picks lend themselves to GREAT GIFTS. Which leads me to my last point, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is a great time to get your mom a cashmere wrap and your hubby some new threads! What will you get him?

Happy Shopping 😉

written by Shalice Noel

coat // tee // jeans // flats // sunglasses

If you haven’t already noticed, I’m crazy about this combo for fall: yellow and leopard. And I’m happy to announce that it is all on sale! From my coat to my slides. This is a great time to stock up on fall must haves before prices go up August 6th! If you don’t already have the Nordstrom credit card, go for it because without it, lots sells out before the public can shop the sale! Check my instagram for daily looks and follow along on the Liketoknow.it App to shop the picture via screenshot! Yup, that’s all you need to do and get links emailed to you. I can’t wait till my girls are into shopping, right now, it’s just about getting snacks and stuffed animals! I love that though! Forward any questions. Happy Tuesday!
