What’s better than love month in the middle of the winter? I love the heart shaped pancakes, Sugarfina treats and yes, a cozy “love” sweatshirt. While I’m the first to admit that I haven’t mastered the art of heart shaped pancakes, I am very good at styling the best pieces from Talbots (which are 25% off today!) like this green army jacket and Chanel like flats. How cute right?
Faux shearling jacket in XS // Natalie knit in Small // Spanx in size small
Sequin top // Jeans size up! // Jersey dress $35! Woody Chloe flats // Valentino belt shown in size 80 (fits like a size 4)
Knit sweater in small in taupe gray // Spanx in size small // Satin skirt // Chunky knit cardigan // Woody flats
I on occasion will go to H&M new arrivals and go crazy. Well, I’m being dramatic, but you get the idea.
Here’s 4 finds under $50 that I was pleasantly surprised by: this knit, black dress and sparkle top. Which is your favorite?
No one does luxe layers like Varley. I’ve been wearing Varley for a couple years, and have always loved their workout looks from chic sports bras, to incredibly chic fleeces. They continue to innovate luxury layers that I cannot seem to live without. As we’re in between houses, I made sure to include my favorite Varley track pants and coordinating zip ups in my “only the essentials” duffle. I’ve been living in their joggers and zip ups here in Florida. Afterall, cozy clothes don’t have to be frumpy. Move over crop leggings, meet the joggers, knit zip up and jacket of dreams. Tell me your favorites and shop them all below.

I turn 40 and I still can’t believe it! There’s a lot of trial and error that Reid and I have been though. I rounded up some things I’ve learned over the years.
Don’t take things too personally
Use face tape (shalice25 for 25% off at checkout!)
Do the research
Be kind
Work hard
Your husband is your partner in life. Picture both of you in a potato sack, trying to win a potato sack race. You gotta work together.
Take care of yourself: drink daily, eat well, sleep enough
Don’t confuse care with control.
You don’t owe anyone anything.
Serve God first.
Don’t people please, it isn’t genuine.
Wear arch support shoes daily. (these use code shalice10 and these for home are faves)
Listen to life giving words and give life giving words. It’s healthy.
You don’t have to have it all figured out. Take one day at a time.
Have a lovely weekend!

What I’m wearing:
I love surprising people. This may shock you, given my profession. I rarely check my luggage when traveling! The reasons why are obvious. You save money. You save time. You save anxiety. Here are some tips to travel lite for your next trip.
Rolling luggage is great, but duffle bags are much more chic. I flew to Punta Cana, DR with this one. I also find I can pack more into a duffle. When packing, strategize outfits that are versatile and light. Think silks, nylons and cottons. Minimize your denim to one pair of your favorite jeans and switch outfit looks with various tops. The planes and airports are freezing, so I wear my heaviest pieces en-route. Heavy sweatshirts, long cardigan sweaters or both layered are favorite plane ride pieces. My Shalice Noel Bleeker Street Poncho is also a great piece for the airport chill.
I carry a large purse for my personal item and a smaller shoulder bag that keeps my travel documents, wallet and essential self-care items secured. I also fit some overflow pieces into my larger purse, like pajamas, cozy socks, and swim suit. When I board the plane, I fit the small shoulder bag into my larger purse and the crew is happy.
Traveling comes with enough anxiety. Knowing my luggage is with me while traveling saves me a lot of stress and I love a good challenge. Let me know your packing tips and check out these favorite travel pieces below.
Happy travels!
Things I packed:
Large purse – Chanel cocoon and the MZ Wallace is a very similar affordable version
Small purse – leatherology meadow satchel I love to add my Fendi strap
My dress (small) // The kids pjs are gifts from Janie and Jack // Toddlers // Pine tree forest pjs
Atalie’s skirt // Atalie’s top
We’re working on a BIG (hard) project I can’t wait to share more later. The kids have been awesome in the midst of this transition. I’m loving these new comfy pjs from Janie and Jack. All that’s missing is a Christmas tree.
Hope your week is going well!

Stripe Gray Vest – to pair with white pants or white jeans
