I believe one of her pieces will be featured in an upcoming teenvogue as well so keep an eye out for her! great statement pieces.

Chloe + Isabel Trunk Show!

2011-07-06T14:13:00.000-07:00

(All jewelry by Chloe+Isabel)
Now that I've been merchandising for Chloe+Isabel jewelry I've been having a lot of fun holding trunk shows at people's homes! My mom hosted one the other day and won a bunch of free jewelry just by hosting one herself. If you're interested in hosting a trunk show and getting free jewelry out if it just give me your email or else shoot me an email at elsmolin@sbcglobal.net. Feel free to ask me questions or else you can look at some more info about it here. The photos above are some shots taken from one of my shows. Nothing like close friends+good food+jewelry ;)
Furthermore, If you're looking for a job and would love merchandising for the company please email me and I can give you more information (you can see a little bit of how it works here)! I must say, it's kind of the ideal job

Happy early 4th of July everyone! I made this inspiration board in hopes of setting off the mood for the great American holiday. The jewelry in this collage is all by a new jewelry line called Chloe + Isabel (Check out their website here). I just started merchandising for them and I couldn't be happier because I LOVE the jewelry. I definitely recommend checking out the website because they really do have something for everyone! Be sure to enter my name (Erica Smolin) as your merchandiser at check-out..it would be much appreciated ;)
Furthermore, I'm also in love with the brown Jeffrey Campbell shoes. I want I want.
