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.

I have a huge collection of maxi dresses but I did not realize until of late that I did not have a basic black maxi dress yet. This launched a major search for a black tank maxi dress. I have searched a few places and ended up getting it from Splendid via Shopbop. This ribbed maxi dress looks like the ideal maxi dress for a casual summer day - light, stretchy material and comfortable.

But I wanted to depart from the typical casual look and decided to dress up this ribbed maxi dress. I incorporated my new SoHo leather watch from RumbaTime and statement necklace from Mod & Soul to glam up the dress. The chambray offered a light layer for the dress, which I think would definitely come in handy for the summer nights. The length is a bit longer than I would like from a typical maxi dress that I would wear (of course, I had to factor in my petite size) but I actually like the floor length for a more glammed up look!

How would you glam up a casual maxi dress like this ribbed tank one?

Wrap Watch Obsession

Since I got my first La Mer Collections watch, I developed a fascination towards wrap watches. They are simple but fashion-forward. There are also new styles emerging as far as wrap watches are concerned, which is great as there are plenty of opportunities to incorporate them into your style, whatever your personal style preference might be. Aside from having new styles, more brands are also developing their own wrap watches for those who are interested in getting their own. Below are just a few of my coveted wrap watches at the moment: 

La Mer Collections Portugal Crystal Wrap Watch

Sara Designs Vino Wrap Watch

Michael Kors Slim Double Wrap Watch

Tory Burch Buddy Signature Watch

See how I styled my La Mer Collections wrap watch below: 

September Wishlist: Watches

When it comes to accessories, you can go for statement or bold pieces. But for a timeless look, nothing beats a watch! A good quality and elegant watch would be even better. Thankfully, there are more brands that manufacture them such that watches aren't just relegated for keeping track of time but also to make a fashion statement. Jord, in particular, is one company that I've been really fond of. They are a one-of-a-kind watch company that makes wood watches. If you would like to see what I'm talking about, check out my post featuring their Ely watch here and here. 

If you are also looking to up your watch collection, here are some excellent timepieces I've found online:
