Chloe + Isabel’s Sales Development Manager Diane is always fashion-forward, and her mini-me Ava is no exception! In honor of Mother’s Day, we picked this duo’s brain to find out what inspires their sense of style and what they absolutely love about C + I jewelry.
Diane glams it up in the Turquoise Torsade necklace, while Ava keeps it playful and age-appropriate with our Monkey Pendant.
C + I: What was the first piece of jewelry you were ever given or bought for yourself?
Diane: When I was six, I went to the Philippines for the summer. It’s my family’s tradition to give every girl their own gold name necklace. My grandmother had one made for me and for each of my sisters and gave it to us that summer – I love that necklace (for sentimental reasons) and still have it – and actually wear it! When Ava was born, my aunt from the Philippines sent one for her, so we’re keeping the tradition alive.
C + I: How does your style influence one another?
Diane: Well, since Ava is so young, she has no say in what gets purchased but she has a definite voice on what to wear & how to wear it! She loves anything pink and she has a quirkier sense style than me. She loves mixing stripes & polka dots … very of the moment to mix prints! She shows me how to be more fun with my choices. There are times when Ava dictates what she will wear, if she doesn’t like what we picked out for her, she says “I don’t like that” and grabs what she wants.
C + I: How would you describe your style in three words?
Diane: Casual, chic & evolving. For Ava, it’s playful, colorful & bold. Mostly PINK & PRETTY!
C + I: What is your “go-to” look?
Diane: Right now, it’s jeans, blouse & great heels. Sometimes I throw on a jacket if I want to make it more polished. And I always have my jewels on! For Ava, it’s skinny jeans, slouchy boots & a printed top. Sometimes we look the same — although I don’t plan it like that because my Nanny dresses her in the morning! There are days when I come home from work & we’re dressed exactly alike and I see my mini me!
C + I: What do you love about Chloe + Isabel jewelry?
Diane: That we are fashionable without being a fashion victims. Everything we have in our line so unique & timeless, but at the same time relevant and trendy.
C + I: What inspires you?
Diane: Travel really inspires me. I love to travel & love learning about different cultures – from food, lifestyle, history, architecture etc. My family inspires me, specifically my kids. I get to be a carefree kid all over again with them and look at life in a totally different way. Lastly, I get inspired by old photographs. I like looking at a glimpse of history, seeing our past and seeing how it still influences trends & lifestyle today.
C + I: How would you describe your style in 3 words?
Ava: Pink for sure!!
C + I: What inspires you?
Ava: Princesses Sleeping Beauty and Jasmine, and pink.
C + I: What do you love about Chloe + Isabel jewelry?
Ava: I love monkeys! (holding our monkey charm necklace)
When it comes to style, this mother/daughter duo has the right idea: “our style is all our own!” Naturally, they are drawn to the same jewelry. Daughter Adrienne says “we both love gold, it goes well with our coloring. I love pairing a statement ring with a simple, chic outift. You use your hands constantly, so people are bound to notice it!” Mom Dianne agrees, of course.
The pair keeps it “all-in-the-family” of natural glam — in gold to compliment their identical coloring.
C + I: How does your style influence one another?
Adrienne: I borrow from my mom’s closet all the time! Even if I don’t borrow anything, I go to her for inspiration. I look to her for fashion advice on jewelry, clothes, shoes … everything! But, she also looks to me for what’s hip now. We keep each other young
C + I: How would you describe your style in 3 words?
Adrienne: All my own. It depends on the day!
C + I: You both chose to wear the same Chloe + Isabel Oversized Pave Sculpted Ring. What was it you loved most about this ring?
Adrienne: We both have a love for gold, and it goes well with our coloring and skin tone. For me, I love to pair a statement ring with a simple, chic outfit. You use your hands constantly, so people are bound to notice it!
C + I: What inspires you?
Adrienne: Fashion-wise, I get inspiration from everyone around me. I find myself re-creating looks I see on girls at school, or a celebrity in a gossip magazine! I love to see what real people are truly comfortable in, and what they find stylish.
C + I: What was the first piece of jewelry you were ever given or bought for yourself?
Dianne: A birthstone ring my grandmother brought back for me from Brazil. I felt so grown up!
C + I: How would you describe your style in 3 words?
Dianne: Just as my daughter said…”depends on the day.”
