The Chloe + Isabel Summer Collection

With the summer solstice upon us (I feel like it's already here!) I scoured the Chloe + Isabel Amalfi Coast Lookbook for pieces that are summer ready. I recently received the Limencello Statement Necklace Set (photos of #1 wearing that one on my Facebook page) with gorgeous faceted yellow, turquoise and howlite stones so I was looking for everyday jewelry, convertible pieces I could mix and match and wear with my favorite tees and boho prints. I can't wait to show you what I picked out, recommend a few must-haves for summer 2016, and show you my Chloe + Isabel display along the way.

First up is the Capri Three-Row Convertible Necklace, which I just had to have when one of my VIP customers shared these pictures of herself wearing the necklace with shorts from Stitch Fix and a top from Tag. Isn't she adorable?

Here are a few close ups I took after my last pop-up party. I'm going to wear this baby tomorrow!

   

I love Chloe + Isabel convertible necklaces. I've always wanted to rock that layered look, but had trouble matching. These are ready to wear as is, but can also be separated to coordinate with other necklaces or worn on their own.

I can't wait to try them individually with the Capri Convertible Pendant Necklace below. This one has a slide adjustment on the back so you can wear it like a bib, long, or anywhere in between.

I wore it the day it arrived as it worked perfectly with the crew neck I was wearing, and paired it with the Lunette Long Station Necklace (see this look on my Facebook page).

I caved in and ordered the Wide-Brimmed Summer Straw Hat after realizing it looks good on everyone. I was too lazy to take out the tripod, and selfies with a DSLR aren't easy; be kind.

We carry several other non-jewelry summer essentials, be sure and check them out!

That there is the Morningtide Convertible Collar Necklace from my starter kit, which is becoming my signature piece. The v-neck is the Sleeveless Linen V-Neck Tee from Loft in Forever Navy.

For those ponytail kind of days, you know the ones (today), I ordered the Jen Atkin X Chloe + Isabel rose gold Ponytail Clip, part of our latest collection of hair accessories.

I love the packaging on the new hair accessories. This one came in a pretty box and the other a magnetic closure pouch, perfect for gifting.

For fancier summer hair days like summer weddings or graduations I chose the Small Crystal Pave Fan Pin Set

I guess you can say I got a little hair obsessed. I threw in the Crystal Baguette Hair Comb to match my Mirabelle Petite Collar Necklace and drop earrings, commonly worn as bridal jewelry pieces but I wear them to church.

The jury isn't officially out on whether I'm a Chloe or an Isabel, but this next choice is a little bit of both. The Bianca Teardrop Ring has that elegant, vintage feel with a touch of modern maven with the chalcedony stone.

I wasn't sure which size to buy so I ordered an inexpensive ring sizer on Amazon which worked out well. You can buy yourself one here.

I prefer this type over the various rings on a loop because I'm always worried my fingers will get stuck in those! It also takes up very little space in my storage case.

I placed it near my ring holder at my last pop-up party and I think every single guest measured their fingers. It's pretty handy! 

I bought this little ring dish at Hobby Lobby right before I signed up to become a merchandiser and I absolutely love it!

Here it is with the Lunette Open Band Ring, which I've worn everyday since I got it. You need this ring for summer; it's lightweight and you won't even notice you're wearing it (with exception of the constant compliments). If you're on the fence about ring sizes, the "open" styles like this are all adjustable.

I may have to start changing my clothes a few times a day, I desperately want to wear this next one. I love the cut of the amethyst stone on the Geovista Convertible Pendant Necklace. 

I saved the best for last, one of our most popular styles for summer. The aquamarina collection has so many great pieces, I may get a bracelet to coordinate with this Convertible Pendant Necklace.

I got this cute little mirror for my display at the Daiso store.

Here's a close up of the top layer, so pretty!

I couldn't get a great picture of my whole display (which I'm constantly rearranging), but here's the condensed version.

Ann Taylor Loft Flash Sale Alert: Just in Time for the 4th of July!

I am thrilled to announce my affiliation with Loft, my all time favorite place to shop! Now I can give you a heads up on upcoming promotions and make a small commission, too. Everyone wins!

And here we go!

From 12 am EST 6/28 EST to 11:59 pm EST 7/1 (Sunday through Wednesday) enjoy

60% off already reduced prices!

I just got back from the Loft (for the 50% off in store only sale) and snagged a few things.

I actually tried on the red dress above and it was beautiful! In fact, I think I tried on everything in the store. Thanks for watching the boys Grandma!

I picked up a dress that's perfect for summer! It's knee length, a rare find these days. It's also fully lined, and doesn't require special undergarments! I think the cut is flattering despite my mom belly, hips and thighs, which I credit to a combination of the adjustable drawstring waist and high contrast pattern. The pattern is trendy, with a tropical floral sort of print, but not overly so.

Loft calls it the Painterly Floral Drawstring Dress in Midnight Slate.

If you aren't sure about the pattern, it also comes in black. 

I think how you feel in a dress makes a big difference. I feel amazing in this dress.

Maybe it's because it has pockets. Every dress should have pockets.

I was also totally excited to snatch up this Aztec Summer Softened Shirt for an amazingly low price. This is still on the website in regular, petite and tall! I don't know why I kept passing it by in the store, I'm totally in love. If you are a soft clothes junky, this top is for you. And I love anything I can throw on with jeans. I'm wearing it today!

Here's a close up on the pattern. It's just enough color to keep this from being a bright white shirt that washes me out. And it's just boho enough that I can keep denying I like boho.

So happy that I picked up 2 new summer staples!

If you need a reminder about the sale, be sure and follow me on facebook for that or upcoming sales!

Until then, have a cozy new shirt sort of weekend.

Loft Sale and Clearance Spring 2015

In my facebook subscription box clothing groups we often joke about

"cheating on" Stitch Fix or whichever box.

A girl can't live on 5 pieces of clothes a month, right?

Oddly, we all seem to have the same taste and do quite a bit of shopping at Loft.

It's pretty hard to resist their high quality fabrics & construction, up-to-date styles, and impeccable fit

when they throw a flash sale on top of already reduced prices.

That's how I scored these items at ridiculously low prices.

Best of all, jeans.

 

Fortunately for me, I have a local Loft and can try things on, but I don't really need to.

I consistently wear the same sizes in tops and jeans.

And I'm a really big fan of their modern straight cut. I may end up with every style and wash.

These rip & repair coastal blue jeans have a distressed, boyfriend feel

but with a more flattering fit.

I don't normally wear blue with blue, but I threw this cuffed sleeve hi low top

on with the jeans in the fitting room and I felt like hitting the beach.

By the way, I live 5 miles from the beach and still never go there.

I'm sure you can tell by my pastiness.

By the way, I'd love to take more pictures of the items on, but it was spring break

when I wrote this and the only vacation I'm getting it not straightening my hair.

This sweater is coming across more blue than the minty green it really is.

I got a lot of compliments on this sweater in church. It's a really great layering piece. It's thin, but not sheer. It looks great with wide leg trousers, especially these.

Come on Loft, throw me another flash sale so I can have the complete outfit!

Loft is also a great place to stock up on well made jewelry.

I've had pieces from Loft that have lasted me at least 10 years.

Ordered these bracelets online, they were only $6.50-$7.50 a piece during the sale.

I was most excited about the druzy bracelets and the gold cuff,

but they didn't end up working for my tiny wrists. 

Please make note though, that every single one of these bracelets is adjustable,

which I didn't realize when I ordered them. I love that!

That cute ikat is the ikat dot pocket blouse.

Wish it would've worked for me but it was just too darn long. Drats.

Of course, the underdogs were the winners in my order.
Wear this gold knot cuff with everything.

This was the first thing I wore out of the box. Goes with anything and everything.

The picture on the Loft website doesn't do this one justice.

It's super cute and I don't even notice I have it on.

I'm still waiting on one more pair of jeans.

They ship almost everything separately, but it makes no difference to me.

Shipping was free.

Just saw this new in the store, it WILL be mine. For the right price.

What are you waiting to buy during the next Loft flash sale?

By the way, the only way to get in the know about these sales is by signing up for emails, so don't forget to do that.

Have a peachy keen day!
