The sun is shining, the water's getting warmer, the days are getting longer, and traveling is in full swing. Summertime is the perfect time to hit the road or hop on a plane (and to pack your favorite vacation jewelry). The kids are out of school, packing is a breeze, and the destination options are endless.
We are super excited to announce our latest collab with the amazing Shea Leigh Mills! This collection is all about the magic of summer travels, with pieces that are vibrant, fun, and ready for any adventure.
Meet Shea Leigh Mills
Meet Shea Leigh Mills, a fashion and lifestyle influencer originally from Southern Illinois, now living her best life in Nashville, Tennessee. We asked Shea how she would best describe her style, and here's how she described herself:
I’m all about feeling comfy in my clothes and using accessories to show off my personal vibe. My wardrobe essentials are simple and versatile, but I love adding necklaces, bracelets, and rings to spice things up. You’ll often catch me rocking fun colors, cute dresses, and unique pieces whether I’m out with friends, brunching, or heading to a special event!
Dive Into the Collection
Step into our collection with Shea Leigh Mills, where each piece embodies her passion for bold accessories in daily life and travel. Shea envisioned creating layered pieces inspired by her most cherished trips, so they add a unique and playful feel to your vacation and everyday wardrobe.
This collection draws inspiration from beachy coastal colors and vibrant tones, as we collaborated closely to bring Shea's memories to life in every design.
Our collaboration with Shea Leigh Mills was made for your summer travels. Lounging by the pool, exploring new cities, or enjoying a beachside brunch, these pieces are perfect companions.
Each item is made with love and attention to detail. They promise to make you feel chic and travel-ready wherever you go.
