We’re so excited and we just can’t hide it!
Get ready all you deco darlings…the fall collection is almost here.
Teasing you is just too fun…!
This week we’re trading in our scissors and hot glue gun for a little old fashioned-fashion post! Check out Jenni modeling her exclusive I SPY for C+I bracelet along with one of her fave C+I bangle sets. I SPY is in the hot seat answering our questions about what inspires her and of course, why she hearts Chloe + Isabel. Oh yea-and she’s got some advice for all your budding Tastemakers on how to get started in the business of DIY!
Describe your style in 3 words…Eclectic Girl Next Door (ooops that’s 4 words)
What initially drew you to C+I jewelry? I am a big fan of the story behind the brand. I often feel like I have two different style esthetics — a la Chloe and Isabel. I lean one way or another depending on my mood. Some days I am a little edgier and others I am super girly, but I love those pieces of jewelry that go with everything and C+I def has styles to fit my many style moods.
What was the inspiration behind the combo/pairing of this look? Why did you choose our silver textured bangle set to style with your design? I started with a basic outfit because I was running around the city all day, but some fun add ons to pull it together. I just added fringe to this scarf so decided that would be my statement piece. From there I wanted to keep the accessories neutral, so I mixed my I Spy x c+i bracelet with two silver bangles. My favorite thing about our bracelet collab is the mixing of metals, this way all your add on can be gold or silver!
What advice do you have for girls that are interested in getting into the DIY world? Start small with projects like adding embellishment to shirt or making a bracelet, once you learn the skills and build your confidence, move on to more difficult projects. I promise you, once you get your first compliment, and you get to tell someone you did it yourself, you will be addicted to DIY!
Are you rockin’ your Ltd Ed. wrap bracelet yet? What are you waiting for?
Check back next week for more with Jenni Radosevich!

DIY Jar Jewel Box
It’s here…the 2nd post in our series of projects from I SPY DIY’s Jenni Radosevich. Today, our fave DIY Darling shows us how to paint + glue our way to a super-easy adorable jewelry box.
————-
In my last post I was definitely not shy about my excitement for my collaboration with Chloe + Isabel! Part of our collab is a series DIY posts from yours truly.
The bracelets displayed in this post alongside my limited edition wrap bracelet are from C+I’s fall collection available in mid-August. Start your wish list now and book a trunk show…there are some definite stunners!
Now that you’ve got my bracelet, you’re going to need a place to store it — that is, when your not rockin’ it out and about. If you’re like me, your jewelry collection is ever-growing! Bracelets are hands down my favorite DIY projects to make and, with stacks of them mounting (on my wrists and on atop my dresser) I was in need of a chic space to store them. With a few household items, everyone’s fave garage sale find - the coveted mason jar - and a handful of clothes pins, I created a container to hold my collection of wrist action!
What you’ll need…
Clothespins
Paintbrush
White Acrylic paint
Mason Jar
What to do…
1. Paint the front of each clothespin with your white paint, let dry
2. Line the edge of the top of your mason jar with the clothespins
3. Store your bracelets
Whether you are a C+I Merchandiser or simply an all-around jewelry lover, this is a lovely little container to display + hold all your baubles!
Stay tuned over the next few weeks for more DIY’s to display your fab C+I jewelry!
xo, Jenni
