Chloe + Isabel

Excited to Announce I'm a Merchandiser!


If you didn't catch it in my Black Friday post, I am excited to announce that I am now a merchandiser for Chloe + Isabel jewelry! It is a start up company, founded and based out of where else but, New York City! Everything is designed here in NYC and each piece is hand crafted,  can you believe that? All jewelry is hypo-allergenic (thank goodness because my skin is ridiculously sensitive) and nickel free and every item is backed by a life time guarantee to boot! Get it caught in you jacket and break that new necklace- send it in and they replace it wether you bought it a month ago, a year or five! Crazy, right?! 

They don't sell wholesale or in ANY retail outlet they sell directly through people like me, the merchandisers! I love that it leaves me flexibility with my schedule and that I can do things my way. That also means I can bring great giveaways and discounts to YOU! (Little heads up- I've got a great giveaway planned for the New Year so stay tuned!) Can't wait until then? Shop my boutique for all your stocking stuffer and gal pal needs now. 

Use the code: FRIEND for 25% off your entire purchase!

That means you can snag adorable deals like these for as low as $16! 
I'm crossing off all the girls on my list now- there is seriously something for everyone. Hurry, discount is only until the 11th! 
  



I wouldn't represent something I don't believe in and I find
Chloe + Isabel wonderful for so many different reasons:
  • It's a start up - I love supporting other entrepreneurs and small businesses
  • It's fashionable- love the style and so have Vogue, Style and Glamour magazines!
  • It was founded by a woman- call me a feminist but I'll always support this
  • They back up their products with a life time guarantee so you know you're getting your moneys worth
  • It gives women like me the chance to work from home rather than selling out to massive stores
  • They come up with incentives for people to host Chloe+Isabel parties every month

So excited to start this new endeavor and experience in my life!
If you want to be a host and earn free jewelry send me a message 
even if you're not in the New York area I can help you out!

Fall Favourites

Pumpkin, Spice and Everything Nice


Fall is by faaar my absolute favourite season! 
The air turns crisp, the leaves start to turn, you get to break out your favourite comfy sweaters, dust off your boots, warm up with some hot chocolate and add pumpkin to just about anything you eat. Besides everyone knows layering is the best part of fashion, I mean come on there are so many more options this time of year!

-FAVOURITE FALL PASS TIMES-

Curling up with a good book and a warm cup of tea
Taking a walk through Central Park to see all the changing leaves
Tour a winery
Roasting marshmallows for s'mores over a bonfire
Taking the pups for a walk around the block
Sip on fresh apple cider
Carrying on family traditions or starting your very own
Meeting up with friends for a delicious cup of coffee
The Holidays! Food and Family!
Trying out old (or new) family recipes
Cuddling up with the boy under a heavy blanket and watching a good movie
Watch a hockey game
Making adorable Fall outfits-just because I can
Baking/eating/consuming/smelling anything apple or pumpkin
Making a list of everything you have to be thankful for this past year
Visit a museum
Being a kid again and playing in the leaves with the boy
Laying under the stars with a blanket and bottle of wine


Here's one of the Boy and I's new favourite fall treats:
Baked Cinnamon Apples
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
  2. In a oven safe casserole dish mix:
    • 4 cups of diced apples, any variety (I like to mix red apples with one green!)
    • 1 tbsp flour
    • 1 tbsp lemon juice
    • 1/4 tsp salt
    • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
    • 1/4 cup sugar
  3. I top it off with an extra sprinkling of cinnamon, because who doesn't love cinnamon
  4. Throw it in the oven for 30 minutes and viola! (It makes your house smell amazing too!)


*Serve with Vanilla ice cream or whatever you have in your freezer- in our case, chocolate.
You can also serve this as a Fall side dish and hearty it up with two cups of oats
