Today I am so excited to be doing a Friday Favs. I have pulled together my favorite things from this week. Without further ado let’s get to it!

Bridal Boutique?

Happy April! I hope you all are having an amazing start to your month 🙂 I was very excited about this month starting because the new bridal collection just launched on my boutique!!! I love this so much because it isn’t just for brides or guests attending a wedding. This collection is perfect for some extra spring bling. Along with the collection featuring amazing jewelry, we also have some new beauty products debuted as well.  With 3 new spring lip gloss colors & 3 new nail polish colors how can you say no?!?! Here are some of my favorites from the collection:

These convertible shoe clips are so amazing!

This is just the beginning. To see the whole collection go to alissagilbert.chloeandisabel.com . A fun bonus is when you order 3 (of the same) item in the bridal collection you get 15% off. When you order 6 or more (of the same) item you get 20% off! Which is the perfect way to save some $$$ when planning a wedding.

I hope you all have a fabulous week, let me know what your most excited for this spring?!

Friday Favs

Hi everyone, I hope all you boss babes had a fantastic week! I cannot believe we are coming toward the end of March already, it feels like the year just started. I thought today I would do a little bit of a random post and show you everything I have been loving lately.

Jaclyn Hill videos! Every time I think Jaclyn can’t get any better…she does. Her latest Bronze Gold Smokey Eye video I am obsessed with.

Gorgeous coffee pics. I know this might sound weird but for coffee lovers everywhere how perfect of a morning is this!?!

Pinterest home decor has been driving me insane. Who doesn’t want a living room that looks this cozy?

Lastly, when life gets crazy it’s good to remind yourself that God is in control. Despite anything that is happening, when you have complete faith in him everything will work out.

Have a great weekend loves!

If you don’t know who Jen Atkin is then just take a second to go onto your phone and look her up on Instagram…..I’ll wait.

Here is a glimpse of what the collection consists of:

She even made a hair wrap that doubles as a choker!

Spring Into Style

Hi loves, I am so excited because spring is here which means new spring styles! You can probably guess one of my favorite trends still…yes the cold shoulder. I know you probably are getting over it but when I saw this LC Lauren Conrad top I couldn’t help myself. This top is amazing because it’s combining two spring trends into one, the cold shoulder & pleats. If you are like me you probably never wear pleats, but Lauren incorporated it in a fun and cute way that you can’t say no to.

Outfit Details:

• Top- LC Lauren Conrad Pleated Cold Shoulder Top
• Bottoms- Jennifer Lopez Cuffed Capri Jeans
• Shoes- LC Lauren Conrad
• Bag- T.J. Maxx Emperia Cross Body
• Cuff Bracelet- My online boutique alissagilbert.chloeandisabel.com
  • my earrings are from Francessa’s but they are really old and unfortunately can’t find them anymore!

I hope you enjoyed and I’ll talk to you later 🙂

Wanderlust

Welcome back 🙂 This week something very exciting happened, the Chloe + Isabel spring launch of Wanderlust!!! I have been so excited to share this collection with all of you because it has everything you could want for spring. For this collection, C+I wanted to take everyone on a journey and each piece of jewelry is inspired by a city.

The first stop is in Paris, boarding the Orient Express. This collection, Parisian Belle, is inspired by what you would think of passengers wearing aboard this luxurious train. Parisian Belle has literally anything you want from a bold statement to a nice everyday jewelry piece. With gorgeous pinks and dark blues you can’t go wrong.

Our next stop on this journey is in Budapest. This collection Misty Morning was inspired by the way the fog settles onto the gorgeous cityscape. The collection features incredible lavenders, mint & baby blue hues. It is what you think of for a fun spring brunch.

After your day in Budapest has ended, we are boarding the train once again for a sunset ride through the country side. Which is exactly what the Sunset Vista collection represents. Imagine a lavish, ornate 1920’s train ride with the velvet & dark cherry wood. You can have a little piece of that heaven with this collection.

Now that our relaxing train ride through the country side has ended, we are in Istanbul for the Turkish Delight collection! Istanbul has so many gorgeous, fun playful patterns and colors throughout the city. Which is captured in this jewelry, not only is it stunning but it is also the perfect transition to have from spring to summer.

Our trip is now ending with our Modern Mosaic collection inspired by Turkey’s amazing art & architecture. This collection is featured with soft pastels paired with amazing geometric shapes. Whether you want something trendy or classic, this collection has that covered.

I hope you all enjoy the story of this collection as much as I did. The launch of Wanderlust has me itching to go explore some new places. These collections are some of my favorites and I can’t wait to wear them for spring! I only featured some of my top favorites today, so to see all of the pieces you can go to my boutique alissagilbert.chloeandisabel.com to check out the rest!

Think Pink🌸

Hi loves, I hope you all are having a fabulous start to your week! I love the month of February for many reasons but one of them is because spring is around the corner. I can never wait so I just jumped right into spring makeup. I love this look because you can wear it for Valentine’s Day or anytime for a fun spring day. I am focusing the look just on my eyes today so here is how I got this look.

I started with my Meet Matt(e) Trimony palette

• Crease- I blended Matt Lin & Matt Evans all over, I then went in with a more dense crease brush and just used Matt Evans to make it more defined.
  • With the same dense crease brush I took Matt Rossi and focused it in the lower part of my crease & blended until everything looked seamless.
• Lid- I first took Matt Thomas from my inner corner to about half-way across my lid.
  • Then I used Too Faced shadows that unfortunately are no longer available (it was from a holiday palette) so I found colors in their Sweet Peach palette that are similar.
  • First use a flat eye shadow brush with setting spray on it to apply the shade Just Peachy.
  • When that dries use more setting spray and go in with the color Bellini just in the center of your lid to add dimension.
• Lower lash line- With a soft eye shadow brush smudge Matt Evans all over your lower lash line.
  • Then take a more flat dense liner brush with the same Matt Evans shadow to make it more intense.

Finish with your favorite liner & mascara then viola, you have a gorgeous spring pink look! This is by far my favorite look for Valentine’s Day & just for the spring season in general.

Let me know what your favorite spring look is down in the comments!

P.S. tonight the new spring jewelry collection launching on my boutique at 10:00pm EST!!! You can be the first to see it before I feature it on my blog at alissagilbert.chloeandisabel.com

Weekly Beauty Obsession

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a fabulous week. I am coming back with one of my favorite posts with a weekly beauty obsession 🙂 (even though today’s product is technically a skin care item). Over the past year I have considered skin care as part of my beauty routine. If you neglect to take good care of your skin then your makeup isn’t going to look as flawless as you want it to (no matter how “full coverage” of a foundation you get).
I have made sheet masks a part of my routine 2-3 times a week. I avoided trying them for the longest time because I thought everyone was just hyping up a product. I thought they weren’t going to work as good as I wanted. However, I was completely wrong! They are amazing, if your skin is dry, acne prone, oily or everything there is a sheet mask that will work for your face.
After trying many different brands my ultimate favorite is currently the Leader’s Insolution brand found in Ulta. These sheet masks come soaking in serum (literally the mask is drenched in serum lol). To me this is extremely important because you don’t want the sheet mask to dry out in five minutes. To ensure your face is soaking up all of the nutrients in the mask I like to leave it on as long as I can (usually 15-30 minutes). My favorite is the AC Clear treatment mask & the Hydrating mask, this time though I tried out the Tea Tree one and it’s great for when your face is breaking out.
What is your favorite sheet mask or facial to use?

Valentine’s Day!

Hi everyone! I hope you all are off to a great start in the week. Can you believe Valentine’s Day is just around the corner?!? It’s crazy to me because it feels like we just started 2017. Since the chocolate filled day is almost upon us I thought I would share my top pics for Valentine’s Day gifts.

Of course I had to start with jewelry! In my Chloe + Isabel boutique the Petite Bijoux line is my favorite for Valentine’s. It’s filled with delicate, feminine jewels that are perfect for everyday wear. You can find this line under my Valentine’s Day section at alissagilbert.chloeandisabel.com

It’s not really Valentine’s day without chocolate. My all time favorite chocolate is from Norman Love Confections. You can’t get these just anywhere but if you find it, you need to try it. The chocolate is almost too gorgeous to eat! You can find them at www.normanloveconfections.com/shop

If your man isn’t a chocolate lover then consider getting him something for his hobby. Whether it’s new workout shoes or surprising him with a new video game he will definitely be grateful to see that you were thinking about him.

If you are anything like me you will be splurging on jewelry & chocolate for you, because you should love yourself…right?! lol. I hope this helps you narrow down some options on your Valentine’s Day gift search. Keep an eye out for the next post coming.
