Whether you are someone who just prefers the simple basics when it comes to choosing your outfits or you’re the girl all about the thrill and flair of a great accessory, I’ll have you covered throughout the mayhem that is the Nordstrom Sale Event. Because trust me when I say, there are tons of choices and lots of amazing options.

In fact, I just combed through what seemed like thousands of products at Nordstrom for their in-store early access event. I had a giant glass of water in my hand the entire time because of this crazy LA heat, but all I was thinking about was what’s inspiring me for fall and what might be worth investing in. I really tried to sift through things and choose only the best of the best because I totally get it—I’m a busy wife and mom, and really, most of us just don’t have the time to go through every piece of clothing, accessory and makeup that’s on sale. Especially in my situation because if I wait till October when baby #5 arrives, I definitely won’t have time to shop for my fall and winter wardrobe. So, believe me, if I took the time to go to the store in person, pre-order, and then post the item, it’ll be worth your time too—I promise!

After looking things over, I can safely say I’m loving suede, shearling and a great bootie. The latter is ALL about the cut. I was telling a friend of mine, when shopping for the best booties, I look for a cut that flatters the ankle, doesn’t cover it, and sometimes a V shape, etc. I can’t wait to show you the booties I ordered as well as the style I pre-ordered. In the meantime, here’s a heads up of what should be in YOUR CART before sizes sell out.

As an FYI last years big sellers were a suede wrap skirt, wrap poncho, suede booties, cardigans, jeans, etc. If you want MORE Stay in touch via FOLLOWING me on the Liketoknow.it app “shalicenoel” for exclusive looks and first-hand finds that I’ll tell you to JUMP ON, as well as my newsletter.

Happy Shopping1

The best Swimsuits (That aren’t Maternity!)

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

my suit (I also like this one) // necklace // mustard flats

Personally, I’ve been stumped with what swimsuit to buy at 27 weeks! I wore one to a friends pool and it was downright embarrassing. It was a non-maternity one piece that my belly was pulling down and I kept pulling up during insecure conversations and I told myself, I need to find a suit, stat! So I did some research and found some ones worth sharing. Whether you’re a one or two-piece girl, I’ve got you covered. No pun intended! I still have a J-crew one piece from 2013 that still fits so good. I wear it to swim lessons with the kids. Any excuse to get in the water and relieve my back you know?

I also like these high waisted tied bottoms for only $36 and this top

Overalls: Transitional Wardrobe aka Closet After Baby

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

overalls // shoes // top similar // sunnies // necklace

After already having four babies and now being pregnant with my fifth, I’ve definitely had time to discover some of my favorite maternity wardrobe staples. I like to call them “transitional” pieces because instead of buying actual maternity clothing, I stick to my regular brands and styles, and simply size up so I can still wear things post pregnancy.
One of my favorite go-to’s for transitional clothing is overalls. They’re so cute and are already baggy in the stomach, so I think they’re perfect an adorable pregnancy look. You can also adjust the straps to make even more room for your growing belly. And after the baby is born, pull those straps back as your tummy goes down and you’ve still got a super cute outfit on your hands. Plus, I know this will be my last pregnancy, so I definitely don’t want to load up on maternity wear.
The overalls I’m wearing here are Madewell and are non-maternity, so whether you’re an expecting mama or just looking for some cute overalls, I highly recommend them.
As always, you can shop my Instagrams HERE. And stay tuned in 48 hours I’ll be sharing what to buy from the Nordstrom Sale. Here are my 3 tips before it goes live to early access members.
1/ Get the Nordstrom Card – its easy and will qualify you to shop early 7/12. I did so 2 years ago and I was able to shop the sale early before the crowds.
2/ Use your triple points day for you preorder like I did.
3/ Speaking of crowds, Check SHALICENOEL.com 12AM PST on 7/12 for all my picks! And Avoid the crowds!
4/ Skip the lines the shop online. I’ll be giving a great roundup from boots to cardigans that will sell out fast like last year

Family Day in Laguna

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

 

Boys Rash Guard Top // Boys Shorts 

Girls Navy Suit  // Girls Ruffle Shoulder Suit

My suit // Sunnies // Necklace

We spent the day in Laguna beach after a week at Lake Arrowhead. We stopped at Whole Foods, made some turkey sandwiches, packed them in a cooler and headed off to find a good beach!

After building lots of sand castles and escaping lots of strong waves, we went to visit my aunt’s for spaghetti and fellowship! We headed home shortly after with thankfully lots of sleepy heads. The boys suits are some of my fave and are linked above. The girl’s suits coordinate though my eldest is asking for a matching stripe so I better get on that. Hope you had a lovely Saturday!

5 Ways to Improve your Mood

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

polka dot dress (wearing a S/M and I’m 5’9″)// heels // sunnies // necklace “All eyes on Me” only $62!

I’ll be the first to admit I’ve been super tired during this pregnancy and have found creative ways to lift my mood, and keep moving so I’ve shared them below. Can you believe I have only 13 weeks remaining– but who’s counting? This sign my photographer and I found “Far better things ahead’ really spoke to me because it really is all about perspective. I’m growing this human and many more special days and memories to be made up ahead. Don’t fret! The back pain and leg pressure is all worth it when I’m finally staring at his face holding him in my hands.

Deep Breathe take a deep breath through your nose, hold it and breathe out through your lips

De-Clutter It may sound funny, but when I clean out my closet or the fridge, I can think more clearly and it gives me a sense of joy, seriously!

Take a walk or workout – this helps clear my head

Wear polka Dots – wearing them truly lifts the mood!

Get your favorite drink at your favorite coffee shop, mine is an almond milk mocha and I feel special when I do something small for myself. If you want to go the extra mile, buy a stranger a coffee too!

Have you entered my giveaway on Instagram? I’m giving away 5 $100 gift cards. Just in time for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Be sure to check Instagram for the rules.

The Best Fourth of July Sales from Around the Web

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

Jeans // Top // Belt // Jacket // Heels

I still can’t believe we will be welcoming another kiddo this fall, I mean, I can barely say 5 kids, when I’m so used to saying 4. I’m sure I will be that forgetful mom, that after 4, i forget to bring the extra diapers, wipes, change of clothes, etc, because I haven’t done this in 5 years!

Currently, I am 26 weeks and baby is weighing in at 2 lbs and I have lately been grabbing for the same items: stripe top, black top, bella band over jeans and denim shorts. Add to that a black maxi. Even my 8 year-old makes fun saying, “oh that dress again mommy?”

I’m a believer that if its good, its good, why shelf it? Wear it daily, ha! I’ve also worn the same couple things around the house because I’m extra tired this time around. Everything is an extra effort from making dinner to even walking up and down the stairs, ha! Throbbing legs, sore back and 5 am kicks are just a little burden I bear carrying this GIFT!

Sure I’d love to be traveling, but I’m walking (or waddling) into this holiday extra grateful and okay with doing less, saying no, and staying put (on the couch) growing a human and enjoying my cuties.

Happy ALMOST long weekend!

4th of July with Nordstrom

Ps. A lot of what we are wearing happens to be on sale this week, sizes are limited

The biggest holiday of the summer is upon us and I have to admit, I’m pretty excited. We just wrapped up the kitchen remodel of our A-Frame cabin on Lake Arrowhead and it’s going to be so nice to have it done and ready for my family next week. Although I’m excited about family time and the cabin, I also had to get everyone’s outfit for the 4th just right!

So like I said, we will be spending the holiday at Lake Arrowhead, which means I opted for a simple white dress for myself, a blue banana dress for my eldest, polos for my boys, and overalls for my youngest daughter. I love how Nordstrom always has an awesome online selection of girls and boys clothes. My eldest is growing like a weed, so if I’m unsure about sizing I order two sizes and easily return from home. Having a large family, Nordstrom has also provided conveniences like curbside pick up. So easy! I just parked and called the number they provided and me and the kids and I waited in the car while the store associate loaded our bags. Super convenient and just another reason to love Nordstrom right? When I’m dressing them, it’s all about simplicity when you’re planning on having a low key weekend with lots of grilling and my favorite flag cake. Have you ever made a flag cake? It’s amazing! I’ve included the recipe below.

Whatever you’re doing for the holiday, I hope you have a lovely 4th of July with friends and family enjoying all the freedom our country has to celebrate.
Thank you Nordstrom for sponsoring this post!
Stay tuned for Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Updates!

Bumpstyle Lately

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

dress // flats // sunglasses

It’s been extra hard getting blog content out because one pregnancy brain, it’s affecting my mojo and two, I haven’t been feeling the greatest. Partly because I haven’t been drinking enough water and sore legs. These socks have been helping with poor circulation and trying to reach my goal of 8 glasses of water or more. Thankfully, I’m on the mend, and wanted to share a couple style steals I’ve found around the web lately.

I just got this new bra with great shape and an option to go strapless.

Also the jeans I’ve been wearing YES I can zip them up! My advice is this: size up on them if you’re pregnant, otherwise they fit TTS. Best part is, they’re only $58! And yes I just spilled salad dressing on them today and I’m not at all mad.

As for investment buys or what to ask for a birthday coming up? This leopard clutch. I’ve had it forever and it keeps getting softer with time. I’d say that’s a win.

Happy Humpday you all!

Shalice

White off the shoulder tops I’m loving:

Peasant Tops I’m loving: I just ordered this one and I kinda love the shape and balloon sleeve
