How to Style a Denim Skirt

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel
If there’s one trend I’m ridiculously excited about right now, it’s the denim skirt. Partly because it takes me back in time, but also because it’s denim, and you all know I’m pretty obsessed with denim of all kinds. Personally, I’m not sure why the denim skirt ever left the “trendy” scene to begin with, but the distressed look and raw hems here to stay, so I’m hoping the jean skirt is too!
My go-to look when styling a denim skirt is to keep is casual. This is something I love about skirts in general. You can easily dress them up with pumps or wedges and a cute, semi-dressy top, or you can dress them down with casual footwear (hello gorgeous Hunter boots!) and an easy tank and cardigan. You can clearly see which way I went with this outfit. It’s all about balancing it out. For example, if you do go in a dressier direction, the denim of the skirt keeps the look comfortable.
If you’ve been searching for the perfect denim skirt, I can tell you this one is amazing. It’s not distressed, but it does have the raw hem, which I love. It’s from [insert brand/store] and would make the perfect addition to your spring and summer wardrobe. And speaking of spring—if you don’t have yourself a pair of Hunter rain boots, you have to grab some ASAP. They’re a staple for me.
Once you have the jean skirt, the Hunter boots and this tank and cardigan, you’re well on your way to having the foundation of a great spring wardrobe.

5 Brunch/Coffee Shops You Won’t Wanna Miss in LA

LA is the land of a million cute places to eat. Whether you’re looking to do breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, coffee or any meal in between, you’re probably no more than a mile from an amazing coffee shop or restaurant. I have a few places I keep on rotation both for me, but also spots I like to take the kids. If I had to choose, these are probably my top five.

Lavender and Honey First, this place is extremely instagram-worthy, so already it gets major points in my book. It’s great if you just need some espresso or if you want to have a light lunch. It also has some fun options for the kids menu-wise. I love the toast bar. Can you ever go wrong with avocado toast? Nope 🙂
Sqirl Sqirl always has something new on their menu and uses the freshest ingredients. It’s also great if you have any food sensitivities or allergies because of its vegetarian, gluten free and vegan options. Their whole menu is delicious, but the baked goods are all to die for.
Kitchen Mouse This is a Highland Park favorite for the kids. They have a closed-in play area that makes it really easy to entertain them while I get in a bite to eat. Their menu is also great for restricted eaters as it’s all vegan and vegetarian. The TLT is a favorite on the menu—tempeh, lettuce and tomato, but they also have plenty of kids options.
LaMill LaMill is all about the coffee. When I need a serious wake up call, this is where I head. My go-to order is their omelette with goat cheese, but as long as you’re a coffee lover, you really can’t go wring with anything on their menu.
Winsome Winsome is like the modern, cool version of the 1950s diner. It has a counter with stool seating, and an open layout so you can see the kitchen. Its menu is delicious comfort food all the way. If you’re looking for a good brunch spot, this is it.
And of course, don’t forget your perfect-for-spring trench and a cute polka dot top to run around to all these places with friends or family. Which is your favorite? Comment below!

What to Buy for Spring from Nordstrom

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel


Spring is in the air after a couple long weeks of rain here and it almost feels magical! I want to get a book and a snack and just soak up the sun! What better time to refresh your wardrobe than with a couple spring essentials from Nordstrom. I rounded up some of my favorite pieces from jeans to blouses to sandals and jewelry under $100. Planning ahead your spring wardrobe does not have to be complicated, just a couple pieces like a pair of dark denim, stripe blouse and white heels can refresh your look. I like that I can wear these sandals not only with jeans and trousers but looks great with a pencil skirt. Again this stripe top can be dressed up or down. Perfect for my meetings  DTLA and for my son’s soccer practice. Also don’t forget to try the Nordstrom curbside pick-up if you haven’t already. When I used this service, I felt totally spoiled not having to take all 4 children into Nordstrom and having the associate bring my bags into my car, amazing!!

Which are your favorites below?

Gucci is now at Nordstrom!

If you haven’t already heard, Gucci is now at Nordstrom!! I’m putting lots of favorites in my cart and have already tagged one as an anniversary gift come the 17th. (Thanks, Reid!) Anyone else shop for their own gifts? In addition to the GG Pumps I’m wearing here, there is also a gorgeous belt bag and classic statement bags that make up my Want List. For this purchase, I ordered it online and picked it up at my local Nordstrom. It was dangerously easy and I was able to get it right away. Another option they gave me was curbside pick up but since I had an exchange I ended up just going in. Anyone else used this? It’s great for busy moms on the go with a car full of kids. Gotta love curbside pick up for everything! Which Gucci item is your favorite? I’m eyeing the belt bag like I said, but hurry up because its almost sold out! Here I styled the Gucci GG pumps with a Canadian uniform (aka denim on denim), a white tank and cute pink trench. Who doesn’t love the classic luxe accessories and everyday basics combo?

Nordstrom: Kids Winter Style

I ordered a TON from Nordstrom Kids before we left for our trip to Vail. Us not living in a cold weather climate and donating lots of our coats just before we moved out of
Chicago left us with a laundry list of items to purchase for each of them. I got boots, sweaters, cute buffalo check jackets, Levi’s jeans (I mean I can’t even) and dresses with swans. Basically anything that was fun and had winter vibes since the kids don’t normally get to wear that kind of stuff. They definitely loved all of it!
One of the biggest reasons I went to Nordstrom Kids was because of their fast shipping and awesome selection. It was definitely quick enough to keep up with my ADD nature and needing items fast before our trip. They really delivered. No pun intended. What would I do without Nordstrom Kids?

Tips: Shopping for Men Made Easy

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel


 

 

I’ll be honest, I usually find it terribly difficult to shop for men, namely my husband, Reid, and my dad. Something about trying to find an item they won’t already have or an idea out of the box – whereas women are so simple in this way. Give us a bag or jewelry and chances are we’ll be happy.

 

But I will say, over the years, I’ve realized the key is to buying something men actually use or wear. Because at the end of the day, guys are just as simple as women (if not more), but gifts for them need to be useful as opposed to something we think they want.

 

Without a doubt, I always head to Nordstrom to shop for the two most important men in my life – and it hasn’t failed yet. Nordstrom makes it easy. For my dad, I treat him to basics that he forgets to stock up on for himself. Like some nicer socks or even pants – things he needs and wears daily, but doesn’t necessarily think to shop for often enough. Everything in the store is quality, so I always see my dad wearing whatever I bought him. It’s cute.

Some great basics below:

For Reid, I usually pick a couple things, send him a link at work and he lets me know if it’s a winner or not. Maybe it’s not a surprise, but hey, I don’t want to waste my time or money, you know? Why not see if it’ll work? Other times, I’ll bite the bullet and buy, say two work shirts for him in two colors and sizes and we return one. It works well as Nordstrom makes returns SUPER easy and they have all the brands Reid likes like Ray-Ban Aviators this James Perse tee, and our twinning Levi’s jackets. Nordstrom has such a big inventory that we always find something that works, pretty seamlessly too. Win-win. And I gotta be grateful for a guy who is OK with a twinning moment, right?

 

But more than that, I’m grateful to have found someone who makes a decade feel like a day, dinner feel like a date, the load feel only half as heavy, and twinning feel like winning. Pardon the cheesy pun.

Thank you Nordstrom for partnering on this post!

3 Investment Buys from Nordstrom

3 Investment buys with Nordstrom

If there are only a handful of items you buy right now for this fall, make it a luxury scarf, booties, and comfy sweatshirt. I love this outfit combination not only because it is both high and low price points, but perfect for church, outings or date night. This scarf can be worn multiple times over a turtleneck sweater or dress. I personally love it dressed down with a sweatshirt and jeans. I love how Nordstrom carries such an awesome selection of refined pieces like Burberry that I tend to gravitate to every fall season. Thankfully Nordstrom makes it easy to shop using their curbside pick-up on the website. I’ll admit I’ve used it more than once, and it basically felt too easy. I had all four kids in the car, a soccer ball, 4 scooters, a crazy day, I called the 800# while I was parked, and two ladies from Nordstrom took all the bags to my car. How easy was that? This winter, we are planning a family vacation to Vail, CO, and while I’m super nervous about skiing since it is not my gift, I’m packing things like boots, sweaters, statement scarves and this Burberry deep V sweatshirt. If I can’t ski well, at least I can dress well and attend ski school.

What is your favorite piece? Shop my look below:

Tucker x Tate Nordstrom

Tucker & Tate Clothes

While the idea of shopping for four kids sounds fun in theory – and it can be – it’s also a lot of work. There aren’t a lot of stores or brands that carry something that’s comfortable, can withhold busy kids, and that aren’t cheesy. For how young my kids are, they really do love picking out their clothes, so I want them to like what they’re wearing as well.

 

Nordstrom is always a one-stop shop for our family when shopping. I get a ton of my clothes there, in store or online – the inventory is excellent either way, and we can shop for the kids at the same time. Their return policy is like any other, so in case a kid grows out of something before they can even wear it, it’s simple to take back. The kids and I like going in store to pick out their clothes, especially before the new school year or holidays.

 

A Nordstrom brand we turn to often is Tucker & Tate. My girls love that they carry colorful, floral skirts and dresses, booties that “look like mom’s”, and the boys dig the beanies and cool shirts. Honestly, some of the stuff is so cute I’d wear it myself! If you’re doing any early fall shopping for the kids, I highly recommend checking out Tucker & Tate. I think your kids will be happy, too!
