Date Night Style: Lace & Zippers

Let me start by saying, I have not loved an outfit this much in years...

Who doesn't love a good romper in the summer time?  Especially when it is one as comfortable and cute as this one.  I found this gem of a piece on one of my weekly trips to Target.  I couldn't believe how lucky I was to find such an adorable, sexy piece for the price.  

With the lace detail front, and the zipper back it's the perfect combination.  Plus, it's navy blue, which is my favorite color to wear.  

I love how high-up the lace neckline goes.  With all the details, very little accessories were needed.  I wore my new favorite jacket (two-in-one) earrings, and my navy blue and gold bracelet to match.  

THESE SHOES!!!  I found these perfect brown booties at Target as well, with zippers on both sides to match the romper.  They are seriously one of the most comfortable pair of shoes I own.  I will be wearing these all the time this fall.  

Affordable (thank you Target),

cute,

sexy, 

comfortable,

and

the perfect summer-to-fall transition outfit.  

Casual Christmas

I can't believe how hot it is this Christmas?!?!  My car yesterday said it was 79 degrees outside and I don't think it was lying.  Wearing a simple t-shirt, jeans, and flats I was sweating and had the AC blasted in my car.  

Given the heat and the fact that I have a baby boy, this is not a boots and cute shirt kind of Christmas, it's a casual one.

What's the best way to dress casual for Christmas?  T-shirts of course, but not just any t-shirts, Christmas ones; particularly those quoting Christmas movies. 

Hands down Christmas Vacation is the greatest Christmas movie of all time.  

Quiz time!  Who said, "You Serious Clark?" in Christmas Vacation, and why was it asked?  

Paired with my cutest pair of red pointy-toe flats and my Kate Spade bow earrings, this green holiday shirt is my absolute favorite.  

Baby boy on the other hand went with an ugly sweater Home Alone onesie donning, "Merry Christmas You Filthy Animal." It was kind of perfect for him during this photo shoot because he was a tired little thing and not in the mood to smile.  

Wherever you are this Christmas, and whatever weather you might be having, I hope it's a great one.

Chloe & Isabel: Jewelry Love

Hooray- I just hit my one year anniversary of being a merchandiser for Chloe & Isabel.  I stumbled upon the company when I was in the process of closing my online fashion boutique and fell in love with it instantly. From it's people, to it's vision, to the products, I love being a part of such a wonderful company and team.  While I haven't reached my goal for sales in this past year, I only sold $2,500, I am not giving up.  I will continue with the company and hopefully reach the point one day where I can move-up in ranks.

Let me share with you why this company is so magnificent, and the perfect place to buy your high-quality jewelry.

 The People

A mere four years ago CEO & Founder, Chantel Waterbury, decided she wanted to start her own jewelry company with a fabulous vision in mind.  With experience in major jewelry industries such as Tiffany and Co, Cartier, and Kenneth Cole, she had the experience and skills to go off on her own.  She has a clear vision, a big heart, and a knack for jewelry design.  Since the beginning Chloe & Isabel designs have been featured in dozens of magazines and publications including Real Simple, O, Lucky, In Style, Shape, Vouge, Glamour, The Huffington Post, The Today Show, and more.   

 

The Vision

Chloe and Isabel was inspired by a concept called, "The Friendship Philosophy."  This is the idea of two best friends, with different personalities and styles, united by their passion for style and self-expression, coming together.  "Chloe" is the fearless fashionista, who is always in search of the season's hottest trends, while "Isabel" appreciates timeless, beautifully-crafted pieces. Whether a Chloe, an Isabel, or a Chloe-bel (that's me), Chloe and Isabel has everything you are looking for in jewelry. 

The Products

Starting at just $18, every piece of jewelry is designed in New York City and backed by a lifetime replacement guarantee.  All products are hypo-allergenic, nickel-free, and lead safe, which means even the most sensitive of jewelry wearers can splurge; they really have a little bit of everything for every style.  I find myself discovering new pieces to lust after even though they have been on the market for months. Plus, with full new collections launching every season, and capsule collections in-between, you are guaranteed to be awed year-round with gorgeous bling.  

 Check out my Chloe and Isabel boutique (Merchandiser: Sunday Champagne) and fall in love with Chloe & Isabel, just like I did.
