Instagram Roundup: #destinationbetsyandiya Weeks One and Two.

We launched our #destinationbetsyandiya Summer Instagram contest on June 20th and ever since, we've been glued to our feed (more than usual) to see what adventures you're having in your betsy & iya. Click here to catch up on all entries thus far and thanks to all who've shared pictures with us! Contest weekly winners get a $50 betsy & iya gift certificate, are entered to win the Grand Prize, and have their photo reposted alone on our feed. During the 8 week contest, our Instagram Roundup blog posts will be dedicated to highlighting more of these amazing entries. Keep in mind that we announce weekly prompts on the betsy & iya Instagram on Sunday nights. Including these themes - preferably in a creative way - will catch the eye of our staff judge of the week and increase your chances of winning!

Top Row, L to R @jessikag "My two Bali fashion staples.... My beloved betsy & iya jewelry and Flash Tattoos. Everywhere I go my b&i treasures come with!" Yes. You get us, Jessika. I spy a Night Watch ring, Dalia bangle, and set of Leather bracelets along with gorgeous body art (temporary and permanent!), a subtly sweet mani, and local flora. @marsbarelizabeth Maren blogs over at Bureau of Chic and was featured in our "Eat, Drink, Wear betsy & iya Instagram Roundup." I've been anxious to see if some of our "regulars" on Instagram would get into the contest, and I was thrilled when I saw Maren's entry of her Redundant Chevron ring accompanying her on a bike ride around Copenhagen, Denmark. @ktcam Katie got so creative with her interpretation of last week's fireworks theme with this cute selfie and caption "Freckles- the fireworks of the face." Um, adorable much?? Her Scania cuff and Deadly Nightshade earrings are the perfect summer combo, don't ya think? Bottom Row, L to R @jaderoseblog Jade is from Portland, but living abroad in England and I love following her adventures across the pond. I was so happy when I saw her entry captioned "Brought a little Portland to Pisa with my St. Johns cuff! Saying goodbye to Italy with gelato and a view!" Can we talk about how real my jewelry envy is right this moment?? @lwoltermckinley Lisette is a blogger - among other things - in  Seattle and this photo, which fit perfectly with week one prompt "picnic." Among her "summer essentials" is our Redundant Chevron ring, which looks awesome against the blue and white stripes of her dress. @heavenmcarthur Heaven is a woman on the go, and is often including her Fremont Bridge cuff in her Instagrams, much to my delight. This sexy moment captioned "too hot to keep driving ... Made an emergency stop to splash about in the icy water in the middle of the Deschuttes River in warm springs." Again, about that jewelry envy... From biking the streets of Copenhagen to the Padma Resort in Bali, we hope your destination always includes betsy & iya! Keep grammin' good people, Anna
