10 Photos That'll Convince You To Buy a Wood Watch

The Frankie series is one of my favorites and one that I have had my eye on. In particular, this Frankie Zebrawood and Champagne watch is on my wishlist. Gift to self for Christmas, maybe?

This is another favorite of mine from the Frankie series. It comes with a vibrant emerald green face that makes a simplistic style stand out. You can buy the Frankie Dark Sandalwood and Emerald watch here.

Okay, I promise this is the last one from this series. Can you tell how much I adore the Frankie series from JORD? This one is the Ebony & Gold style.

The Fieldcrest series was one of those first few collections available at JORD. This Dark Sandalwood watch instantly caught my eye because of how good it looked on. It is from one of the cheaper lines priced only at $139.

If classic and simple style is what you're after, the Fieldcrest series won't disappoint. In particular, the Fieldcrest Maple watch will go with anything!

The purpleheart color of the wood matched with the opaline Mother of Pearl face creates a beautiful contrast. If you want a statement timepiece, this is the one for you. You can shop it here.

This is the first JORD watch that I got - Ely Maple. I love the wood work on this and the delicate maple wood that provides a feminine accent when used to accessorize an outfit. The best part? I can wear it with literally ANYTHING!

The icy silver tones of this Cora Maple and Silver watch provides a beautiful contrast with the color of the wood. It is classic and modern at the same time.

Of course, I haven't forgotten my man. I've been thinking of getting a JORD watch for him (you can see him model the Sully Green JORD Watch for the blog here) and these are my two choices:

This Dover Zebrawood and Dark Sandalwood looks so rustic and masculine. They'd make great gift ideas for men this holiday season, too!

Also loving the Dover Ebony & Copper watch from JORD. Love the masculine details and woodwork.

Which watch do you like the most?

Lace Sensation

Top: Shein
Jeans: Lee Jeans
Bag: Kate Spade
Shoes: Mendrez (similar)
Earrings: Happiness Boutique (c/o)
Watch: Rumbatime

The first time I saw this top on Shein, I knew I had to have it. The color and the lace were two of the reasons why I wanted it so bad. It also comes with a flowy fit and the criss-cross back as a bonus! When it came in the mail, it was exactly as I had pictured it to be. For less than $20, it was a great deal. 

SHOP THIS LOOK
Top: Shein
Jeans: Lee Jeans
Bag: Kate Spade
Shoes: Mendrez (similar)
Earrings: Happiness Boutique (c/o)
Watch: Rumbatime

If you can remember, I featured this top as one of my wishlist picks here. It took too long to arrive, which is the only qualm I have with shopping from Shein right now. Aside from that, I am very happy with this purchase. The blush tones from the Kate Spade tote and my pumps added a beautiful contrast in color. These two colors (navy and blush) are some of my favorite colors to wear right now.

If you've had your eye on this top, too, hesitate no more! I purchased it for $17.99 and now it is priced further down to $15.39! 

Deconstructed Denim Dresses

Denim never goes out of style. Hence, it is a safe option if you want to create a timeless look. But denim does not have to be boring. If you choose to invest in denim dresses, you will find more variety in the market these days in terms of the quality of the fabric and styles. Chambray is one type of denim fabric that is suited for anyone looking for easy-to-style pieces that are also comfortable and light. It is also a personal favorite. If you're tired of wearing the same old denim shirt dress over and over again, these unique styles will certainly change the way you look at or style denim from here on out.

Embroidered Denim

Top: Shein
Skirt: Fashionme (c/o)
Bag: 88 Handbags (c/o)
Watch: JORD (c/o)
Wedge Sandals: Sammydress (c/o

It's been a long time when I last wore a denim skirt. The last one was probably in the 90's (no kidding). It was a staple part of my style during that time but I have outgrown them. Today, just like any other fashion trends, denim skirts are back... and in a big way! I got this new embroidered denim skirt from Fashionme and it was a bittersweet moment to relive the fashion trend I was fond of as a young girl. 

Top: Shein
Skirt: Fashionme (c/o)
Bag: 88 Handbags (c/o)
Watch: JORD (c/o)
Wedge Sandals: Sammydress (c/o)

I have seen a lot of new denim skirt trends emerge. But denim pencil skirts are a classic in my eyes. The embroidered details on this one provide the right amount of modern edge. But I wanted to keep the look feminine casual so this floral cami top from Shein and wedges from Sammydress were my best bet to complement the skirt. But since this is a classic piece, it's versatile enough to be paired with several other items in my closet. Be sure to be on the lookout for those remixed styles soon!

How would you wear this embroidered denim skirt?

Drink in Style

If you can't survive a day without caffeine, raise your hand! (raises hand too!) Seriously, a day never passes in our household without a cup of coffee (or two). It gets me started for the day and let's be honest, who can resist that delicious aroma of freshly brewed coffee? I'm sure my fellow bloggers will agree with me on this... coffee gives you that extra oomph when there just seems so many things to get done in a short amount of time. But one thing I like as much as coffee? Adorable mugs to drink them from! Below are some of my coveted mugs at the moment and the best part is that none of these cost more than $25:

Drybar Mornings Blow Mug / Gift Boutique Gold Dots Mug

Gift Boutique Put A Ring On It Mug / Gift Boutique Bride Mug

ban.do The Boss Ceramic Mug / ban.do Love Potion Ceramic Mug

ban.do But First Coffee Thermal Mug / ban.do I Am Very Busy Thermal Mug

Do you have a weakness for cute mugs, too? Is that even a question?
