Ticking Into Spring with Jord

Is it just me, or does it seem absolutely crazy that we are already into the second half of May? This spring has absolutely flown by. We are finally in the midst of fresh blooms, perfect temperatures, and early evenings spent outside. If there is anything I love as much as the weather in the springtime and early summer, it is the fashion that comes with it.

Nothing pulls together an outfit more than a stylish, fun watch. I absolutely love the 'boyfriend style' of watches that everyone has been rocking over the past few years. What I don't always like, though, is the hot, sticky feeling of metal on my skin, especially as temperatures get up there in the boiling range. That is not an issue with Jord, though! These watches are hand crafted and are made of wood. One of the most surprising things when taking it out of the box is just how lightweight and airy it truly is. It is perfect for wearing on those hot days when you want to accessorize but don't want anything uncomfortable. Of course, this piece is so stylish and comfortable, I fully anticipate wearing it year round! It is such a unique watch, and I always get compliments and questions when I wear it!

 

Jord (pronounced YODE) watches are truly top notch in terms of quality and presentation. They arrive in a hand crafted wooden box, which is truly as beautiful as the watch itself. You are able to submit your wrist measurements prior to purchase, so that it arrives in your exact size, ready to wear. This part can be a little bit scary out of fear you do it wrong, but after having two Jord watches in our home, both arrived fitting absolutely perfect! And, it arrives with extra links, should you ever need them.

I am thrilled to team up with Jord to offer a giveaway to my readers! If you would like to enter to win a $100 credit towards your very own Jord watch, you can enter here! Giveaway is open through June 18th!

Winter Style with Wooden Watches [And a Giveaway!]

I'm going to let you all in on a little secret. My husband does not let me dress him. Try as I might, that man is consistently dressed in athletic sweatshirts and fluorescent pink tennis shoes. Which, by the way, he gets compliments on all the time when we go out, usually by ladies, but compliments nonetheless ;-) He has his own style, and while I can count on one hand the number of times I get to see him in a nice button up throughout the year, I love his independent and unique ability to own his quirky style.

While he is the king of casual, that does not mean he is unwilling to try out fun accessories. I learned early on to not waste my time or money trying to buy him clothes. However, things like hats, necklaces, and watches are always fair game. And that is why I was absolutely thrilled when Jord reached out to me about the opportunity to gift a wooden watch to the most important (and pickiest!) man in my life.

 

To be honest, I wasn't quite sure what he would think. That man has opinions, and he shares them pretty darn freely. When I presented him with his options though, he easily picked a favorite. And asked me multiple times when his new watch would be arriving. You guys, he was excited about it! I was so happy to be able to give him something that has a practical purpose, yet is also so unique and different than anything else you would find in a store.

When it did finally arrive, it was packaged perfectly. The box that it came in was a work of art in and of itself. Engraved with a logo, it was nearly as pretty as the watch within. High scores all around on presentation.

 

 

The watch itself is gorgeous. The biggest thing we both noticed right away was how light it is; truly as light as air, which is such a nice change a pace from normal watches, which are typically a little bit heavy. The wood carved pieces are beautifully and meticulously crafted. It really is a work of art.

We encountered a bit of a scare when Mike went to put it on, as we feared it was not big enough! I was a little baffled, because Jord wooden watches are custom fit, with a request for you submit a wrist measurement when ordering. Fear not, we quickly realized that there were two clasps involved in closure, and Mike had simply not opened it up all of the way! When we figured that little detail out, it slid on perfectly and fit just as it should.

This watch is the perfect piece to dress up a casual outfit, but will also pair beautifully with dressier looks. There are so many gorgeous styles available, for both men and women, I have my eye on one or two for myself! If you are looking for that unique gift for Valentine's Day, or simply a stylish piece for the man in your life, this is it.

Now, here is the fun part. Jord is offering a $100 store credit giveaway to one lucky reader! This can be used towards any watch of your choosing. And you guys, there are so many gorgeous options. All who enter and do not win will receive $25 as well, so entering is a win no matter what!

The giveaway is open until February 5th, to enter the giveaway, go here.
