JORD Watch {& Giveaway} Styled by Sarah
Anddd just like that we now have less than a month until Valentine’s Day!! Time to start planning because we all know it will sneak up on us. Next week I’ll do a gift guide post full of thoughtful gift ideas for him & her but this week I’m so excited to share the watch that I’ll be giving my boyfriend Greg on February 14th! I’m also happy to announce that I’ve partnered with JORD to do a giveaway (yayyy!). Scroll down to the bottom of this post to learn how to enter.
I’m honestly in love with JORD wooden watches. I’m a big fan of personalized and unique gifts so this watch was a no-brainer. The watch itself is made out of natural wood and has the option to be engraved on the caseback or on the watch box! I decided to go with the Frankie Series in Ebony and Gold because of it’s modern and sleek design. To view the other Men’s watches click here.
Other than using a really unique material, one thing that sets JORD apart is their attention to detail. The way that they present and package the watch is ah-mazing. They offer free shipping on all orders and it took the watch like NO time to get to me. It comes in a beautifully finished wooden box that features a “utility drawer” where you can store the maintenance products that they give you (how fancy!). The watch itself and the box both have this wonderful “wood scent” that reminds me of my grandmother’s cedar closet.
In order to keep your watch looking brand new all of the time, JORD provides you with finishing oil, a microfiber polishing cloth, and a suede cloth. Additionally, it comes with instructions on how to clean the watch and they suggest doing this every 6 months. JORD also understands that sizing is important so they offer to size it for $10 or send you a $50 gift card if you decide to get the watch sized locally (a good idea if you’re giving it as a gift & don’t know the correct size).
~ GIVEAWAY ~
I cannot wait to see Greg’s expression when he gets to wear the watch for the first time. I’m so excited to give this to him but I’m even more excited to give you a chance to own your very own JORD watch. I’ve partnered with JORD to give one lucky winner a $100 gift card (which brings some of their watches down to just to just $39!!) to spend on the JORD site. To enter, all you have to do is click here and enter your email address. It’s as simple as that. Also, since JORD doesn’t want anyone to miss out, if you don’t win the grand prize they’ll gift you a consolidation prize (10% off on their website). The contest will run until February 18th!

Sherpa Series Styled by Sarah {Part 1}
Over the past two years, sherpas have gained A LOT of popularity. Since I love mine so much, and Sherpa season is here, I figured I should do a post on them! I’m starting out this two post series (look out for the next post next week) with the more traditional option: the big, oversized, comfy pullover. I think that these sherpas are somewhat comparable to the Patagonia Re-Tool or Pile fleece pullovers that have been around for awhile (but on steroids). If you want to feel like you are wrapped up in a blanket 24/7 then you NEED one of these and if you keep your thermostat below 65 degrees in the winter then you NEED one of these. It’s definitely by far the comfiest thing that I own. I bought mine this past fall at Goodwill for around $7 but I have listed plenty of options below. P.S. if you’re still looking for holiday gifts, this is a great option (especially b/c sizing isn’t that important so it’s easy to buy online!).
