What's New from JORD?

JORD is one of my favorite watch companies... EVER. The first thing that caught my attention about this brand is their wooden watches. At that time, they were the only brand manufacturing wooden watches so I can say with confidence that they are among the pioneers. The quality of the woodwork and the classic design with a trendy detail is also another standout feature. In fact, their Fieldcrest Maple watch is my go-to - it goes with anything!

Recently, they have unveiled two of their newest collections: Cassia and Meridian series. And I have to say, JORD has definitely stepped up their game in terms of style! If you're like me who'd like to get an early headstart with holiday shopping, here are some of the items you might want to consider:

FOR WOMEN

Cassia Walnut & Vintage Rose

Cassia Ebony & Sable

Cassia Zebra & Ivory

Cassia Olive & Aegean Blue

Nine times out of ten, you will find me wearing a dress. The remainder of that statistics can be divided between pants and shorts. Luckily, we do have a tropical climate that enables me to wear shorts all year round (same with dresses), so I do take full advantage of this opportunity whenever I can. In the past, I've showcased you my shorts styles and how I like to dress up my shorts outfit. But today, I am showing you how I like to wear shorts for a vacation.

I've had this shorts from Shein since last summer. I've been wearing it a ton since but I haven't really blogged about it until now. But given that it reflects my choice of personal style on a day-to-day basis, I thought it deserved a spot in my blog. When paired with this sheer classic button down top from Chicwish, this combo is one of my personal favorites. I love coming up with stylish combinations and looking for chic outfit inspirations, but when you are traveling I do think all of these take a back seat to comfort. Thankfully, comfort does not have to take a back seat with this look as I can achieve that and look stylish too. And don't even get me started on these adorable fringe sandals! My husband thinks it's ridiculous and takes a lot of time to put on, but what do men know about women's fashion anyway?

I am having a yellow moment right now. It is one of those colors that I tend to wear more in the summer time than any other time of the year. The case is true this year especially with primrose yellow cited by Pantone as one of the top colors for Spring/Summer 2017. I love how the color adds a pop of brightness to an outfit. Plus, it does not hurt that it is such a "feel good" hue. It might sound cliche but it does bring a sunny statement to your summer style.

Aside from yellow, one thing that I am loving right now all the time is floral. Will I ever get enough of floral? Probably not. Will it ever go out of trend? Probably not, especially since I don't consider it a trend. The idea of wearing floral for spring/summer isn't something I consider as "trendy", it's right there with stripes as one of the classic style pieces for the season. It will have its own shining moments in fashion history but it will never be out of style. The wide variety of floral prints to choose from and color combinations provide it with added versatility, such as a black floral maxi dress and this bright floral dress. These two can create such different looks for your summer style. 

On a different topic, I just booked us a flight later this year to a popular tropical destination in the country. I won't share it yet but this dress would be the perfect outfit to pack for that trip! Can you guess where the hubby and I are headed to?

Casual Chambray

Dress: Shein
Watch: JORD (c/o)
Sneakers: Sperry Top Sider
Earrings: Kenneth Jay Lane

Aren't chambray dresses the best? Since getting my first chambray dress, I have relied on them for those casual weekend outings wherein I want to be as comfortable as possible without being sluggish. Since my first chambray dress was a long sleeved one (not very practical in our tropical weather here), I had been on the prowl for a sleeveless chambray dress. Shein saves the day with this cute frock that is as comfortable as it is affordable!

I didn't quite anticipate that the dress would be as long as it was. However, it worked out perfectly because I've been to midi dresses or dresses with longer hem lately. This makes it perfectly easy to transition for the cooler months with a layer of scarf or cardigan. But in this heat, it is the perfect way to stay cool, casual and chic. I finished off the look with a bun and my tropical print Sperry Top Sider sneakers.

Pencil Skirt Style

Top: Dresslily (c/o)
Skirt: Twinkledeals (c/o)
Bag: Twinkledeals (c/o)
Shoes: CLN PH
Watch: JORD (c/o)

Pencil skirts are my new favorites. When I don't feel like wearing a dress, I usually turn to them as an alternative. The silhouette it creates make any outfit look ultra feminine (which is why I love them). But if you are not confident with your body, it can be a bit intimidating to wear them. Thus, I am sharing this look to inspire you how to wear pencil skirt and give you a few more ideas. Read more about them below...
