Hey Babes!

I'm very excited about today's blog post because it's an invitation for you to be apart of my very first pop up event! I've never hosted one before, so when Chloe + Isabel presented me with the opportunity, I couldn't turn it down, mainly because I love their pieces! As you may have noticed, I've kind of transferred over to more authentic pieces, although I still love costume jewelry. I'm aiming to build a timeless collection of beautiful pieces, which I hope some will one day become heirlooms. I love semi-precious and precious stones and when I learned that Chloe + Isabel work with such pieces (semi-precious) and that they're are hand made, I definitely took an interest. 

I invite you all to check out their collection in the pop up I'm hosting here. I will be hosting the pop up for 3 days, starting today and ending Sunday the 5th. There are some awesome perks this weekend, such as being entered into a raffle drawing to receive 25% off your next order, after your purchase! The winner will be announced after the event has ended. Also, with orders over $100 you'll receive a free gift and free shipping! So happy shopping, I'm sure you'll find something you'll love. In the above photos, I'm wearing their Bora Bora open cuff, which features the opal stone, one of my personal favorites. Let me know what you decide to get and make sure to tag me on all photos with your pieces @jalisasfiles!

Hello Loves!

Welcome back to the blog :) Today's look is one that's very comfy and casual, perfect for the weekend or a day off. I love navy and grey together because they compliment eachother perfectly, since they're both cool tone colors. This particular color combo looks best on those with either neutral or cool undertones, making the skin appear naturally healthy and luminescent  This doesn't mean that if you're warm toned and you like this combo that you can't wear it, of course you can! It just tends to bring out the features of those who fall into those categories more. Not sure which skin-tone you are? Watch my YouTube video on how to determine it (here). To give you a heads up, if you see both colored veins (you'll understand what I mean once you watch the video) then you'd be considered neutral.

I hope this pairing inspired you. Stop by tomorrow for a very fun and exciting post! 

XO, 

Jalisa

Hey Babes!

Cobalt is a very popular color during the fall and winter months and you kind of see it fall off the map come spring and summer. Well, I wanted to provide an outfit idea showcasing how you could still wear your favorite cobalt piece during the summer months. Cobalt looks amazing paired with mint greens and various shades of pinks and purples, which I worked into today's look. Since we're working with so much color, it's a combination that would work well for any body shape, since not one particular area of the body is being showcased the most; just keep in mind the style of blouse you choose to wear it with. I always say a flowy blouse is safe for all shapes because it provides more options; you can belt, tuck it, or leave it loose. I decided to do a half tuck. Oh, and if you're petite a look like this would help to elongate the body. If you want to further enhance this effect, I suggest you wear nude shoes and use the pop of pink or purple with you purse ;)

I hope this post gave you some inspiration to work with! Thanks so much for stopping by :)

XO, 

Jalisa
