Holidays Are Upon Us — @chloeandisabel Have the Shiny Stocking Stuffers You Need!
Chloe + Isabel is one of my favorite accessories lines because not only do they create pieces that inspire (and everyone wants!), but they’ve set up a wonderful merchandizing platform that allows gals to work towards their goals, one piece of jewelry at a time. Gals who sign up to become Chloe + Isabel merchandisers make 30% commission on personal sales, can earn unlimited free jewelry, shop the collection for themselves at 30 – 50% off, and even create their own personalized boutiques. It’s a fab way to kickstart your career!
Last week I was lucky enough to visit Chloe + Isabel’s Spring 2014 Jewelry Collection in their showroom in downtown Manhattan. And if there’s one word to describe this new line from Chloe + Isabel, it has to be “amazing.” These new pieces are inspired by many elements and feature everything from vintage designs and marine-inspired colors to bold metals and flashy stones.
Here’s a few pics of the Spring collection:
Estate Vintage Collection: Necklace ($128) — wear this necklace as a dazzling layered piece or clip off the other two strands for a more simple look.
Spiraling Waves Collection (my fave!): Necklace ($168) — How can you resist a piece like this? Incredible colors that come together with vintage-inspired embellishments.
Metals Collection: Necklace ($148) — This one is completely customizable and allows you to wear it in so many different ways!
Coral Reef Collection: Necklace ($78)
Under the Sea Collection: Earrings ($58); Pendant necklace ($68); Bracelet ($48 – $58); Ornate necklace ($148)
Chloe + Isabel also had great holiday gift ideas:
Inspired by the whimsical Egyptian revival jewelry popular in the 1920s! Owl in Flight statement necklace ($98); Earrings ($38)
Bring on the drama! Pearl + Crystal Fringe Collar Necklace ($68); Pearl + Crystal Spike Long Necklace (it’s also reversible!) ($78); Tiered Crystal Fringe Earrings ($68); Pave Circle Pendant Necklace (far right) ($42)
And I went home with these little cuties — Chloe + Isabel’s “Be Mine” sterling mismatched studs ($35). I love them!
Check out Chloe + Isabel at ChloeandIsabel.com to pack those holiday stockings full of shiny goodies! You’ll find something for each family member or friend, with pieces ranging from $18 – $200 to fit any budget! Here’s their Holiday Look Book.

Delicious Snacking: @PomWonderful
It’s Pomegranate season! POM Arils are in season from October – February so make sure you pick some up at your grocery store. Even with all the Youtube videos on how to remove Pomegranates easily, it is still not easy as to pick up a cup of Pom Poms!  You can eat these or make them into a smoothie like I did along with a banana!  The cups are resealable for easy snacking and can double as a cute hat for your dog 🙂
POM POMs Fresh Arils are available at grocery stores in the fresh fruit department

MOSCHINO loves DISARONNO
DISARONNO, the bestselling Italian liqueur in the world, rounds off a successful year with the ultimate drinks cabinet addition: the iconic bottle, with its unmistakable squared bottle top, will be made over by the Italian fashion house Moschino. This collaboration between two stylish Italian brands will be available for purchase starting this October.
The “MOSCHINO loves DISARONNO” bottle will be designed in the fashion house’s signature style, adorned with its classic heartpattern in a bold black and red color palette. This distinctive limited edition combines the characteristics of Moschino with the unmistakable silhouette of the DISARONNO bottle. It’s an ideal gift for fashionistas this holiday season.
The DISARONNO and Moschino project will support the charity Fashion 4 Development (sponsored by the United Nations) through a donation of its profits to help the development of this unique initiative in Africa. The overall mission of Fashion 4 Development is to harness the power of the fashion and beauty industries in order to implement creative strategies for sustained economic growth and development in countries worldwide.
“We were interested in the idea of linking the iconic image of our bottle and brand to that of another that is also recognizable all over the world with a specially designed holiday look. Even though DISARONNO is already known for Italian quality and style worldwide, we’re always trying to reinvent ourselves and stay fresh, which is why we decided to get involved in the world of fashion, in particular Moschino, another dynamic brand with an extensive Italian heritage,” said Stefano Battioni General Manager of ILLVA Saronno,producer of the DISARONNO brand .
 Rossella Jardini, Moschino’s Creative Director, adds “Moschino represents energy, passion, joy and positivity. The red heart has always been one of our symbols. For this holiday season, we will cover the DISARONNO bottle with hearts wishing lots of love to our friends and theirs.”
The exclusive “MOSCHINO loves DISARONNO” limited edition will be available this November for $24.99 at stores nationwide or through www.1-877-spirits.com.
To celebrate this festive collaboration, the iconic Italian liqueur has created DISARONNO Loves Sour a twist on a timeless cocktail:
- 3 parts DISARONNO
- 1 part lemon juice
- 7 muddled cranberries
- Shaken and strained in a flute with no ice
- Topped with champagne
Cheers!

Stay Light this Winter @StIves
I recently tried the beauty product that 1/makes me smell great and 2/saves me time! What more can you ask for? The new St Ives Spray Moisturizer is light and awesome and the best way to keep hydrated! All through the summer I used a ‘spray’ sunscreen to make my life so much easier and I am so happy that now there is continuous spray moisturizers too!
Another great way to stay ‘light’ but warm this winter is the ULTRA LIGHT DOWN Jacket from Uniqlo. It comes in all sorts of colors, in long and short and is the best thing I ever worn.
