We love a good Pop-up shop, aka Trunk Show, and are always racking our creative minds for cute and fun ways to make an impression on guests. Afterall, it’s all about being the hostess with the mostess! Lately, we’ve been just a little obsessed with yummy treats for guests to devour. Check out our “Let’s Eat - Trunk Show Style” Pinterest board for some mouthwatering edible inspirations.

At Merchandiser Valerie Soule’s recent show, the first twenty guests had dibs on these little cupcake confections! I mean come on, not only are these cupcakes totally adorable but they are so on brand we just love ‘em.

All thanks go to Sugar Babies Cupcakery in Sherman Oaks for making Valerie’s cupcakes absolutely gorgeous and delicious too. We can’t wait to see what our other great ideas our Merchandisers and Hostesses come up with next! If you’ve got a great trunk show treat, email us a pic (and recipe if you DIY’d ‘em yourself) to [email protected].

Now if only we could get a few of these lovelies flown to NYC we would be in dessert heaven…

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.
