My Collection with Dana Rebecca
It's here! The Liz Adams x DRD Collection. Plus, some other thoughts about the passage of time and feeling "in it."
Liz Adams x DRD is here!
I am so excited to share my new collection with Dana Rebecca with you! My first collection with Dana launched in 2020 (seen here) and was filled with simple, beautiful pieces to serve as a foundation to a curated jewelry collection. Since then, we've collaborated every year and I am so proud and excited to share this collection with you. This time around, Dana and I really wanted to create pieces to elevate what you already have. All pieces are made with 14k gold + diamonds and sapphires. You can check out the entire collection right here.
The necklaces are my favorite part of the collection. Our sapphire heart charm is the prettiest little detail to wear on your neck (I added it to this paperclip chain). The charm can be worn on any chain of your choice for the perfect layered look. It has the most beautiful blue sapphire heart in the middle and the etching on the gold create the prettiest shine as you wear it.
Our sunburst pendant charm is a SHOWSTOPPER. I can't tell you the compliments I received on this necklace. I love the disk shape but the diamonds throughout adds so much sparkle. Either of our necklaces would layer great with out dainty necklaces you already wear.
I couldn't not include a stud earring and this little sunflower stud pairs perfectly with both necklaces. I love the gold surround and diamond inset.
A little back story, I am not a hoop girl but I want so badly to be a hoop girl! I have worn our rings from 2020 every day since we launched and I always thought they would be pretty as a hoop. I'm excited to report that this is true! Truly the perfect hoop. Those that tried them on during our shopping event couldn't believe how light they are. Effortlessly beautiful!
This collection is really made to add something special to what you already wear every day. Whether you're getting a jumpstart on your holiday shopping or looking to add something to your own collection, I'm so proud of these pieces.

It feels silly to pivot on such a fun email! But I wanted to share something that may be helpful to you? Catching up with girlfriends this week and coming off an emotional weekend, I just wanted to say:
If you’re feeling “in it” and like your head is on a swivel and all the boxes that you need to get checked are moving farther and farther away from your grasp - well, me too. It seems a lot of my inner circle is feeling the same.
On a daily basis I have 4 balls in my lap:
the mom ball that carries emotions, conversations, positivity, school emails (a full time job in itself), meals, backpacks, rubbing backs, physical touch and more.
the home ball that carries keeping up with the laundry, grocery shopping, going through piles, tidying, meals, various chores, organizing, handywork and beyond.
the work ball that carries planning, showing up, putting my face on camera, organizing content, finding creative inspiration, consistency, negotiating, delegating, curating product selections, communicating with brands, managing finances, etc.
the life ball that carries keeping up with relationships, exercise, making appointments, rest, self care, letting my brain relax, getting outside, planning for the future, paying taxes, checking in on loved ones, being present.
Lately I’ve felt like everyday I am met with all of these balls and no idea where to start. I feel the rush of the holidays creeping up and some days I just want to drop them all. I’ve had a lot of anticipated changes on the horizon that I think I’ve been bottling up emotionally and when the calendar is full, it all starts to feel like a lot. So here is your reminder to tell yourself that it’s okay, remind yourself that you can’t do it all. I’ve come to terms with the fact that somedays I get a lot done and somedays I just do not.
TIME itself is feeling so fleeting lately. I saw an Instagram post telling me that the average lifespan is 76 years old which means 38 is the halfway point. I’m 38. And life isn’t slowing down anytime soon, it’s up to us to slow it down for ourselves. I needed this reminder going into a busy season so maybe you do, too!
Anyways, thanks for always reading! I’m so grateful for this community!

"going through piles" -- so accurate.
Congrats on another collab with DRD!
