I’m really excited to share with you one of College Prepster’s newest sponsors. I’ve known about Chloe + Isabel for a while (and even worked with one of their merchandisers way back when). It’s been really incredible to see how the company has evolved and grown over the years.
One of the cool things about Chloe + Isabel is that it’s a company dedicating to helping women establish their own little businesses. Chantel Waterbury started Chloe +Isabel to give young women an opportunity to build their resume and their bank account in the fashion industry. She paid her way through college in direct sales and made her career working with industry’s heavyweights like LVMH, Target, Gap, and Macys. Because of her experience, she is passionate about offering financial opportunities for college aged women and loves to watch them grow into whatever career path they choose.
There is a specific program for college students. It’s a fun and flexible opportunity in the fashion industry with special team dedicated to college students so you always have a team behind you to help you be as successful as possible.
Chloe + Isabel’s GEM program is dedicated exclusively to college aged women and provides added training and focus on building resumes for young women who want to launch their career in a meaningful way. Campus Merchandisers learn how to run their own on-line and in person business gaining experience in sales, marketing, social media, customer service and more.
A few perks of the program:
Make 30% commission on all personal sales
Earn unlimited free jewelry
Shop the jewelry collection at 30-50% off
Create your own personalized e-boutique
Get access to corporate internships and letters of recognition for C+I executives
You can use your own blog and use social media network to promote their jewelry business.
Merchandisers build your resume through Chloe + Isabel training academy which teaches marketing, sales, social media, networking and more.
I was just talking to a few interns/students in the city the other day about the importance of learning hard business skills while still in school. Even if you’re just doing something small, the lessons and principles you learn are invaluable. It doesn’t matter what industry you’re in (well, almost)… business skills will always come in handy. There’s no better place to learn that than during college. Who knows what it could turn into! I always say how glad I am that I started my blog and ultimately my company while still in school. Everything I was learning in class was contextualized!
PS Chloe + Isabel represents two best friends and the notion that opposites attract. Chloe stands for the daring trendsetter and Isabel is classic and refined. How cute is that?
I'm so happy you posted about this great opportunity! I applied after I read about it and I got the job! Check out my online boutique if you ever need some adorable jewelry http://www.chloeandisabel.com/boutique/hmcresci
I have been calling myself a Chill Mom™️ since having Jack and now I’m realizing that I’m even chiller with Rory. (Like is birth order really less about sibling order and more about the version of mom you’re born to?) I’ve been just rolling with Rory’s infancy and I’m so much happier. Maybe it’s just that I’m more tired with a toddler too, or know that it’s going to go by so fast, or just have more confidence… probably a combination. I feel less obsessive and less stressed out by the details. I’m “making it” without having to fake it. As an example, today I noticed I hadn’t tracked a single nap- just watching sleepy cues and trying to get to a “good enough” pattern as Rory’s naps consolidate. Is he following a ~perfect~ nap schedule? No. Are we thriving? Frankly, yes!
(If you want to read my original Chill Mom post, comment “chill mom” and l’ll send it to you via DM!)
We came, we saw elephants, we ate ice cream 🐘🦒🦓 @ashleybrooke and I always talk about how we became FAST friends. Somehow we have been right there with each other during some of life’s worst moments… so it’s extra sweet that we now get to celebrate the good ones! Watching our boys play together, a little baby in a stroller, and another baby on the way… it’s everything we dreamed of.
Somehow yesterday felt like a week, last month was last year, and last year was a decade ago… but then time is simultaneously going by so fast too. The past ten weeks have gone by in a blink! Everyone warns you it goes by fast and they’re not wrong…. The days are long but oh how I wish time would slow down a bit? Or that maybe I could bottle up a tiny bit of these precious boys at every stage so I could revisit them down the road 🤍
I have grown to LOVE baby wearing. Not only do I think it’s such a nice and cozy way to bond with baby, it’s also incredibly practical, especially when you have a toddler to keep up with too! The @wildbird aerial carrier was a treat for myself- and I’m so obsessed with it. 👶🏼 Leave a comment “wildbird” and I’ll DM you the color I have as well as my personal review of it (including some troubleshooting tips).
Some top level things I like; - it’s easy to put on! - it’s so, so comfortable (for me AND baby!) - the little flap is seamless and provides extra support while baby naps and privacy when we need/want it
This affordable rechargeable LED lamp is cute and then made even cuter with this wicker lampshade! 💡✨ No cords needed- just charge and place wherever you want. (Will be extra perfect for dining outdoors this summer!) 💫 Comment “lamp” and I’ll send you links to the LED lamp ($38 for a pair!) and the lampshade (available in a few styles- including a darling blue).
Not really in the mood to be in photos right now, but I keep telling myself I’ll want to look back on these moments and remember them. (Right?!) when I look at these photos in 10, 20, 30 years…
I hope I remember Jack “rescuing” Rory from a windy tent, not how I stood in front of my closet with tears in my eyes.
I hope I remember watching Jack roll down hills and play hop scotch and scoot down the sidewalk with his besties, not that I caught a glimpse of my reflection and didn’t recognize myself.
I hope I remember sitting outside with my friend happily watching our kids play (while watching the minutes until bedtime tick by), and not that I spent too much time zooming in and examining every new wrinkle on my face.
I hope I remember the pure joy of these early warm days with my little family whom I love so much 🤍
The weather is warming up and I’m feeling slightly more comfortable in my skin every day ☀️ Here’s what I wore last week as a mom of two. I have a two and a half year old toddler and a two month old so I need outfits I feel good in, can chase a little guy around in, AND that I can breastfeed easily while wearing. 🔗 Leave a comment with “OUTFITS” to get links to every outfit I wore!
This room is so very special 🤍 The little cars sprinkled everywhere (watch your step!). A tiny sock, never two, peeled off and tucked somewhere hidden away. Piles of books that grow almost as quickly as the little boy who sleeps here. Outgrown pants and shoes to grow into mingling in the closet. Often messy, and a little cluttered, but a little boy lives here. 🚘☀️🐶📚🧸
(Rory is still in our room, but eventually the boys will share. I can picture their little twin beds already!)
What a great program!
