Independence Day Style

July Fourth is next weekend (hallelujah!), and I’m trying to decide what I’m going to wear. I’ve ordered the Tory Burch Miller sandals (#9) after borrowing my sister and my mom’s for years. I also have the wedge version of the J. Crew pump (#10), so that’s in contention. I have all of the Kendra necklaces (yes, obsessed), so now it’s just the dress I need. I’m probably going to take advantage of J. Crew’s 30% off sale on all summer items (Code: SUMMER3o).

What are you wearing for next week’s celebrations?

1) Nalin Bib Necklace, 2) Neva Long Necklace, 3) Nemera Long Necklace, 4) Chanya Cuff Bracelet, 5) Shina Stud Earrings

Priya Purse + Bangle Giveaway

Joy Kennedy and I have been friends for years and years – I remember us cheering together when we were in junior high, and I have some embarrassing pictures of us in leopard crop tops to prove it. When I moved back to Houston from Austin, we began to meet up regularly for coffee, mimosas, and dinner, and she told me about her new business idea – Priya, which is a fashion line built on the desire to help empower women in India who have been rescued from sex trafficking. Priya partners with a program called Destiny Reflection, which employs more than 15 women full time and 30 part time, for most of its items. Another program, Silence, employs workers who are deaf and mute – these women make the stunning silk bangles for the line.

The bags and jewelry are absolutely gorgeous (not surprising, as Joy is stylish to boot). I have the fold over clutch in cerulean, and I love it. I’m so proud of Joy for how far she’s come in such a short period of time. To celebrate her success, I’m doing a giveaway. If you ‘like’ or comment (for non-Wordpress users) on this post and do the same for the Priya Facebook page, you’ll be entered into a raffle for a free pb clutch and a silk bangle in your choice of color. You have until 11:59 PST. I’ll post the winner’s name on the blog Monday. It’s that easy!

Kendra Scott Spring 2013

I went to the Kendra Scott Citycentre opening party last Wednesday to see the gorgeous new store and catch-up with two of my even more gorgeous darlings – Danay and Sophee – who work at the corporate office in Austin (and yes, I covet their jobs!). I got to see some of the spring collection pieces, and I am literally dying for it to be sold. A preview was recently posted on the Kendra Scott blog – my favorite pieces are below. Aren’t they incredible? I am in love with the saffron (but really, all of them).
