{home} My Green Goddess Breakfast

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

Love these bowls and plates from ANTHROPOLOGIE

I’m often asked, How do you start your day? What’s your favorite breakfast? This is actually a really easy question to answer as I’ve had the same thing every morning for months. My kids like it, too, and none of us are sick of it  . . .  yet. I prep the night before with bananas on the brink of getting brown and fresh pineapple. Both I cut, place into ziploc bags, and freeze to make things easier. 
C‘est voilá. 
1 frozen banana
1 cup of frozen pineapple
1/2 clove garlic
1 tablespoon ginger
1 cup coconut water, or just water
A couple leaves of kale, collard greens, or chard
Place in a Vitamix or blender till smooth and enjoy.

Finally crisp air! Or, here’s to hoping for crisp air at any rate. As I write this, the temp outside feels like a sauna and all I can dream about is an excuse to bust out the new aviator jacket and belted camel coat. Yes, fall beats them all for me. I even layer in summer despite the fry-the-egg-on-the concrete weather. So what is my fall footwear edit? It’s simple: laced up and mid-calf. That’s why I love these two from Isolá. Both transition from work to mojito’s without missing a beat. I even managed to wrestle my two-year-old who was in hot pursuit of a moving train while wearing these. To complete the look, toss on a simple cotton LBD and aviator jacket for those (supposed) crisp mornings and (non-existent) lazy afternoons. And thank goodness for forgiving black LBDs and comfy (as in actually padded-footbed-comfy) booties. Because even though I’m running non-stop like a chicken without a head, I don’t have to look the part. For now, I’m dreaming of hot tea, an excuse to wear one of my 99 jackets, and these booties. One for date night, the other for church or work wear. Because like summer, fall goes way too fast. So boot up, appropriately.

I’m all about the bang for the buck and today was no exception. I dressed down an under $150 sequin cocktail dress with a distressed jean jacket and my go-to nude heels. All of which I wore at today’s Create & Cultivate conference while the hubby took the kids to the park. I swear that man is a saint!

Traveling as a family of six is anything but easy so having the right gear is key. Between you and me, I secretly love wearing yoga pants, a bright tank and running shoes. No running or yoga is involved mind you, it’s just my Green City Market/Target/I-have-fifteen-errands-to-run gear. As you probably know, Nordstrom kind of has it all, and their selection of work out gear is just as great as their jaw-dropping shoe department. Whether you plan on working out or grazing on Michigan peaches, they’ve got you covered. They’ve also got some of my favorite baby gear, including strollers–yes! strollers!–diaper bags, etc. I linked the outfits I’m wearing and a similar affordable Bugaboo Bee. Am I the only one who fakes workout with the gear? Here’s to more weekends in workout gear that may or may not inspire the workout. What matters is that you’ll look good trying.

Thank you Nordstrom for sponsoring this post!

{fashion} How to Denim Overall

Overalls NASTYGAL
Crop top WAYF
Nude Strappy Sandal SAM EDELMAN

I thought I’d give the overall trend a whirl. Afterall, Jane Birkin and Alexa Chung rock them like pros. I’ve always been hesitant of classic bib overall but I finally found them: slightly baggy, not overly distressed and some patchwork for good measure. However to bring it from farmer jane to “GIRLBOSS, ” I needed the right accessories: nude strappy heels, a red lip, and a slight crop top. Perfect for a summer date with the hubby. How do you wear yours?

{fashion} What I’m loving now

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel
Tomatillos from Green City Market have me craving salsa!

How to bring a dress into fall? A leather jacket and over the knee boots!

What I’m loving now? Long summer days, salsa, splash parks and watermelon picnics. I’m also loving easy pieces: a sweater tank and a dress. The latter of which I love paired with red. You already know my love of mock turtleneck’s from my post, “Mock it up.” I can’t wait to pair the tank with a trusty blazer and the dress with my over the knee boots. Helllooo August.

{home} Artfully Walls

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

I couldn’t help but pair up these babies 

When we first got married, we decided to give each other art on our anniversary. Be it a small oil on canvas, a charcoal sketch or a thrifted map, if it was inspiring, it was worth giving. While we didn’t quite manage to fully hold to that, we have still accumulated a couple of pieces that we treasure … such as this lovely tiger. As we all know, shopping for art takes time and attention, and does not work well with a multi-child accompaniment. Finding Artfully Walls was huge! It makes finding beautiful art much easier since it is a one stop shop for  unique, one-of-a-kind pieces to step up your gallery wall or foyer stairs like ours. I really liked their design your wall feature.  Interestingly enough, two of my favorite pieces are actually pieces that the hubby chose. I’m often hesitant when I let him choose (don’t we all like our choices best?), but then he makes me wonder why I ever hesitated in the first place. Sometimes it just takes another eye to make a successful pairing of the graphically complex with the stark and simple. And it’s always a bonus if it happens to involve cobalt somewhere.

ALPACA CARDIGAN C/O PERUVIAN CONNECTION / SIMILAR 
Who doesn’t like vintage Chanel? I liked this one that resembles a chocolate bar and this chain gang, but, let’s face it, it’s a tough choice! Speaking of tough, we chose the beach over cleaning the house yesterday and it was so good.  But don’t forget an alpaca cardigan that transitions easily from work to an outdoor concert. Think Summer layering, simplified.

 To thank my faithful readers, take 5% off your purchase at Trendlee with code “SHALICENOEL” (all caps) at checkout.
