September is Self Improvement Month!

Did you know that September is Self Improvement Month? What a perfect little push to set and achieve some great goals for yourself this month. I just hopped off an online conference call with my Chloe + Isabel peeps, where we talked all about ways to make our business extraordinary for the month of September!

Here are some of my tips for setting goals:

- Write them down! According to some statistics, people who write down their goals are 30% more likely to achieve them.
- Set small monthly goals for yourself to put yourself closer to a bigger goal. For example, if you want to lose 50 pounds. Set a goal to lose 10, then 10 more, and so on. Some say that this isn't the best way to reach a goal, but I find that it works for me!
- Make sure your goals are realistic! It's important to push yourself, but if you set unrealistic goals, you'll only end up disappointing yourself and losing focus.

What are your goals for the month?

Hello September!

Hello September!

Even though the weather has it feeling like the dead of summer here in Florida, my favorite time of year is finally upon us! It won't be long before crisper air, fall decorations, pumpkin spice lattes, and cozy sweaters. Don't get me wrong, I love summer, but something about fall is just so wonderful!

With the start of my new semester, I'm really excited to make some changes and introduce some new things into my life, including my more consistent blog and the YouTube channel I'll be starting! 

Have a happy September!

XO, Lizzie

Easter Sunday Outfit Ideas

Hello, ma peeps! How is you doing? Can you believe that Easter is next Sunday? That means April is always gone and the semester is almost finished! Where does the time go? Anyyywho...I put together a few Easter outfit ideas to kind of help get the wheels turning and provide inspiration when you put together your outfits!

ACM Awards 2014 Fashion

Last night was the 2014 ACM Awards hosted by my boys Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton. I figured I need to be a typical "fashion blogger" and make a post talking about my favorite (and also least-favorite) looks of the night! Shall we start with the best?

Nail of the Day: Color Club Reign In Spain

I may have found my go-to nail polish for the summer. I know, I know, spring has only just begun, but when I was switching out my polish, I decided to opt for one I hadn't used yet. My eye landed on this.

Color Club Reign In Spain is a varnish I received in a Birchbox back in June. If I'm not mistaken, it's a Birchbox exclusive shade. I adored the color when I got it, but for whatever reason, I got put into my collection and then didn't see the light of day...until today. The website describes Reign In Spain as "a fiery coral that evokes summer days under the Mediterranean sun." I couldn't have said it better myself! The neon aspect of the polish brings out the oh-so-subtle tan I am hardly sporting right now, so in the dead of summer, it'll look even better after I've been basking in our Florida sunshine!

My only complaint is that Reign In Spain it a little bit sticky - that also might be because it's sat untouched for almost a year - but it wasn't so sticky that I couldn't work with it.

Reign In Spain is available on the Birchbox wesbite in a 4-piece "Wanderlust" collection alongside London Calling, a sunny mint green; Pardon My French, a candied lavender; and Mod In Manhattan, a brilliant off-white...all four are perfect for summer, whether you're lucky enough to travel to the cities, or just day dreaming about it like me! 

Where are YOU dying to travel this summer??

Greetings from Tresco Isle!

I am super excited to share the new Chloe + Isabel Spring 2014 Capsule Collection, which was just launched last night! The 12-piece limited edition collection titled Tresco Isle is inspired by the tropical florals and gardens of Tresco, off the coast of England.   

The first 8 pieces features glorious color-splashed cabochons, clear crystals, and semi-precious howlite navettes. They are absolutely perfect for spring and summer because the bright colors make a statement with any outfit. I’m obsessed with those coral post drop earrings! We’re also excited to launch our first ever stud duos; 2 pairs of stud earrings for only $28!

If you asked me what my all-time favorite piece from Chloe + Isabel was, it would hands-down be our multi wrap bracelets. So when I saw that we were coming out with two new ones, I about lost it! I’m literally so obsessed with the bright multi-colored one, I HAVE to get my hands on it. The rhinestone bracelets are equally amazing…and I’m not just biased by the fact that I’m a huge bracelet girl! Now that I’ve raved enough, let me tell you some cool stuff about them. Woven in the beads and chains is stunning exclusive prints from London’s famous Liberty Arts Fabrics. So it’s like limited edition within limited edition!!

Check out the collection (and the rest of our springtime must-haves) on my boutique!

Which piece is your fave??
