Priya Launches Zama Collection

Priya_ZamaThere are few people in life I’m more inspired by than my good (not to mention, ridiculously gorgeous) friend, Joy Kennedy. Three years ago, she launched Priya, an accessories line that is committed to fair trade luxury and employing groups of underprivileged artisans. Since 2011, Priya has worked with groups of human trafficking victims, special needs artisans and impoverished women in Nicaragua. Sold yet? Yes, the company is amazing. The best part is that the products are absolutely flawless. I love the purses so much from the original collection, but two weeks ago, Joy launched the Zama Collection, the first contemporary jewelry collection handmade by artisans in Jaipur, India. It’s unbelievable to see these pieces after sifting through the product sketches at Zoe’s Kitchen over lunch a year ago.

Joy graciously gifted me one of my favorite pieces for my birthday last month – the Square Ring in Blue. I literally get compliments from people every single time I wear it. I’m obsessed! The pieces are crafted with the highest quality materials. You’ll love them as soon as you put them on. I’ve compiled a collage of my favorite Zama pieces above. Shop the collection (top left to bottom right):

The Kendra Scott Ailee Bracelet

Kendra_Scott_Spring_2014

One of the most exciting announcements I’ve ever made – there is a Kendra Scott bracelet named after me! In the Spring 2014 Atlantic Collection (which is for sale starting on Wednesday, Jan. 22!), you can find the Ailee Link Bracelet (pictured above). One of my best friends, Sophee, is a Merchandise Lead at Kendra Scott (I am green with envy), and she broke the news to me when I went to stay with her in Austin for my bachelorette weekend. I seriously have been dying to see it in person, and this weekend, we got to see each other and she gave me two as an early birthday present. I am obsessed! The Atlantic collection is my favorite to-date, and I’ve picked out some of the best pieces (according to moi). Have you scoped out the new line yet? If not, click here to see the Kendra Scott Atlantic pinboard.

What an incredible weekend. We arrived at Ft. Lauderdale airport Friday afternoon and spent the remainder of the day on the beach – drinking Acai Mojitos (consumed far too many…). We ate at Hollywood Prime, then headed to the Justin Timberlake and Jay Z Legends of the Summer concert. It was honestly the best concert I’ve ever been to, by leaps and bounds. It was at Sun Life Stadium in Miami, which is uncovered, so we were super hot (thank goodness I chose a black romper – nice and breezy), but danced like fools the entire night. The set list for the concert is here. Could you pick a better compilation of songs? We slept in on Saturday, then lounged at the pool all day (handstand contests for hours), then showered and met Sasha’s cousins for dinner at Sardellis. I got the burrata salad (which we had at the wedding), and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. Sunday was a relaxed morning – we headed to the airport in the late morning. It was truly the perfect beach getaway weekend.

I love finding new online treats, especially those of the jewelry nature. I first discovered Sweet & Spark months ago (here), but hadn’t made a purchase until recently. I bought the gorgeous little gold bow pin in the picture above – the perfect jacket or blazer accessory. It arrived this weekend, wrapped perfectly with the cutest postcards ever (Mara, I’ll be needing your address…). Chunky gold jewelry has forever been my obsession, and I’ve got my eyes on these three gold gems. The pearl necklace is so classic. Decisions, decisions, decisions. So happy to “Share the Spark”! Especially because the founder, Jillian, is an absolute angel. Go and see what you find.
