Global H2O

I had a realization the other afternoon as I was watching my children run through the sprinklers; 1.1 billion people don't have adequate access to sanitary water and we live in a nation where we play in our clean water.  Wow, think about that for a moment.

In order to do our small part to help, Ija will be donating 100% of proceeds from our retail store as well as our website to Global H2O from August 8th through the 14th.  If there's something you've been eyeing, now's the time to shop.  Let's do our part to support our global community.

Flare Magazine

Canada's leading fashion publication, Flare chose Ija's Leather Tassel Earrings for a spread in July's issue.  These earrings are insane, and way too much fun.  I've found myself reaching for a pair every time I'm feeling blah as they're sure to boost your mood/sass and elicit a ton of complements from passerbys.  Especially men for some reason; they seem to be drawn to the tassels ;).

It's Official!

People Magazine's Most Beautiful People Issue 2010

Teenage cutie Selena Gomez was photographed in Ija's Small Gold Clasped Bangle for People Magazine's Most Beautiful People Issue! This piece is so clean and classic it's something you'll wear every day for years to come.

Whitney Port Showing Her Love of Ija!

So, imagine my surprise when I flipped on the tele the other night to watch the season premiere of The City and there was Whitney rocking Ija's Figure Eight Earrings! This isn't the first time Whitney has been photographed in our jewelry, she's been spotted in The Tinks as well as our bangles. I'm honored to have her as a fan of the line, as I admire her style as well as her tenacity and drive with her own line. Thanks for the love Whitney!

Ija's Swivel Hoops in Fitness Magazine

I spent my entire youth in a pool. Seriously, I think they let me out occasionally so I wouldn't shrivel to nothingness, but other than that I was swimming constantly. My whole family is pretty crazy when it comes to swimming, running and biking. Hence why I find it hilarious that my family freaked out over the fact that Fitness Magazine chose Ija's Fluid Hoops for their most recent issue. I swear even Vogue wouldn't have been as big a deal ;). These earrings are the perfect earring for everyday wear and would even be a fabulous accessory for an afternoon Spring run.

Who What Wear

Who What Wear is featuring Ija's Cuttlefish Ring as part of their Earth Day feature. I love it when the industry highlights how many fantastic companies are doing their part to keep us looking good and environmentally conscious at the same time. Ija is honored to be a part of that group. Happy Earth Day!!
