We are so excited to announce the winners of our Garden Party Pinterest Contest!

In honor of our spring Garden Party collection, we styled a Garden Party board full of inspiration from our photo shoot. Our fans created their own garden party boards on Pinterest and pinned what inspired their own, person garden parties!

Congratulations to our grand prize winner, Reigan Massey! Her board (above) was romantic, fresh, sunny, pink, yummy, floral, and shabby chic — with a little Lana Del Rey thrown in there. Whats not to love?! Reigan wins $250 in Chloe + Isabel jewels!

We had two runners-up with fabulous boards, as well. Congrats to Payal Prasad and Kelly Throne! They will both win $25 to Chloe + Isabel.

We love Payal’s use of C+I jewels in her board (below, top) and Kelly’s amazing story-telling and use of color (below, bottom).

(Payal’s board is above and Kelly’s is below!)

OK, we know we have a few weeks before the 4th. After all, it is still June and we are certainly not ones to rush even a single day of summer. Summer should really last longer, dontcha think? On that note, we know all you Chloe’s and Isabel’s are going to have to make some touch decisions about style in the coming weeks so we are here to help…

The first step? Our pinterest board “Red, White + Jewelry” is making it’s debut to set the mood — Check it out!

After this glimpse you should be hooked on red, white + blue style. Get pinning and we’ll repin your fab ideas.

Rest assured we’ll be back to show you what to buy, wear, whip up and DIY for one of our fave holidays.

The next few weeks are gonna be fun!

Hot time, summer in the city…and we’ve got a delish treat to cool you off! These lemonade stand popsicles have us drooling. Yes, drooling. Not only are they pretty but they are pretty tasty to boot!

LEMONADE BASE RECIPE

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup room temperature water
• 3 cups cold water
• 1 cup lemon juice

For PINK LEMONADE

• 3 teaspoons grenadine

For PASSION TEA LEMONADE

• 4 Tazo Passion tea bags
• 3 to 4 cups boiling water

Directions

1. Create simple syrup: Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan and place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture occasionally to help it dissolve. Remove from from the heat when the sugar has completely dissolved. Set aside to cool.

2. Pour the lemon juice (either fresh squeezed or store bought is fine) into a pitcher. Dilute the lemonade with the cold water, then add the simple syrup and stir thoroughly to combine.

3. Create additional batches of the basic lemonade for the other flavors. To create pink lemonade, add the grenadine and stir thoroughly to combine. To create the Passion tea lemonade, steep the tea bags in the boiling water. If you’d prefer a stronger Passion flavor, use a lower amount of water, as the lemonade will dilute it (I generally use, and recommend, only three cups for a more concentrated flavor). Set the tea aside to cool, then combine with the base lemonade recipe.

4. Assemble popsicles: Arrange a line of small paper cups in a line and pour in the desired amount of lemonade. When all cups are filled with their first flavor layer, carefully transfer them to the freezer and let them set for about 30 minutes or until almost solid through – soft enough to insert the stick, but firm enough to support it. Insert the popsicle stick part way through the first layer (but not clean through to the bottom of the cup). Transfer the cups back to the freezer to allow the first layer to set completely.

5. Continue adding layers of the various flavors as desired! Make sure each layer freezes before adding the next in order to get the pretty color separation!

After the last layer is frozen, serve when ready by ripping open the paper cup and voila…cool off with a lemonade pop!
