Mother’s Day Gift Ideas + Jord Wood Watches

May 2, 2016

With Mother’s Day coming next Sunday, the hunt for a great gift is getting serious. For my mom, I knew I wanted to come up with some unique gift ideas since my mom is the perfect unique mom. I mean who else would voluntarily listen to me cry and rant about boys, school, friends, bad bosses, car problems and so on? Getting to go all out and shower my mom with gifts I know she’ll love always makes me truly happy.

And what’s more unique than a wood watch? My mom fell in love with mine over the holidays and still months later, looks wistfully at it. JORD offers a wide variety of models and colors, free sizing {use code whatnicoleworeFS}, and guaranteed delivery by Mother’s Day if you order by this Wednesday! Even better…I’ve teamed up with JORD to offer instant discounts to a few followers and my watch is 20% off right now with code 4MOMFIELDCREST6 — who can pass up that kind of deal?

What Nicole Wore: Mother's Day Gift Ideas + Jord Wood Watches — featured in this post: old navy: striped split hem tank {on sale} + target: utility vest {similar | also seen here} + see thru soul: distressed jeans {also seen here} + clarks: sandals {old} + jord wood watches: fieldcrest watch c/o {also seen here} + rebecca minkoff: love crossbody {exact sold out, available in blush and black | also seen here} + elizabeth and james: sunglasses c/o + stella and dot: ring {also seen here} + the peach box: nail ring c/o + kendra scott: silver druzy necklace {also seen here} + francesca’s: marble necklace {similar long version | also seen here} + colourpop: lipstick + tarte: blush

I love the Fieldcrest because of how neutral it is; I have a lot of inexpensive, printed watches so having one that is an instant classic is something I love. My mom is a huge lover of classics {mom, if you’re reading this please stop wearing so much black} so an accessory like this one, that’s a conversation starting, statement piece, is right up her alley.

I styled my wood watch very casually in this look; while it’s easy to include this one of a kind watch alongside other bangles, I also enjoy wearing it on it’s own. The watch is on the chunkier side and stands out without any sidekicks, making it super ideal for the lady in your life that’s always on the go {or always running late!}

I love this new Old Navy tank, it’s lightweight, soft and the mixed stripes immediately called to me. I’m not a huge fan of the split hem trend, but these ones aren’t terribly high and so I figured I could deal, especially with it being marked down to $10 in stores not too long ago. I paired mine with my utility vest since the weather in Louisville has been up, down and all around lately.

And of course, spoiling your mom with a great new watch might not be enough….here’s some add on gift ideas that I love:

PS. Paper Source is offering free shipping when you spend $35+ today! They very rarely have free shipping offers so now’s a great time to grab a card for Mom {and Dad, the grads in your life, the upcoming newlyweds, etc}

Derby Days: Damask for Derby

April 24, 2016

Popping in for a very rare Sunday post, but I unfortunately did not get to share last week’s Derby Days post so I wanted to catch up today (: I had the best time yesterday co-hosting a blogger style event at Macy’s and will definitely be sharing some more about it as well as photos soon!

I’ve had so much fun writing this Derby Days series; it’s actually something that’s been over a year in the making; when I first started my blog last March, I really wanted to do Derby related posts but wasn’t in the position to do it at the time. This year, I started planning stuff out in February and it’s been awesome to see it all come together. With less than two weeks until the big race, I just want to take a moment to say thank you x a million to all of my sponsors that have been apart of this series and my wonderful readers that have given such positive feedback.

What Nicole Wore: Damask for Derby — featured in this post: shein: damask print dress {also seen here} + charlotte russe: mint bauble necklace {old, similar | also seen here} + old navy: mint sandals {also seen here} + kate spade new york: clutch {comes with crossbody strap | also seen here} + jord watch: fieldcrest watch c/o {also seen here} + DIY hat {base from Dee’s} + opi: nail polish + colourpop: liquid satin lipstick

I ordered this dress last year from SheIn and it was the very first item that I ordered from them. The fit is perfect and I love the gorgeous and bold spring colors. I wore this last year for Easter, but am always looking for new ways to work this dress into my closet rotation. I’ve styled it before on the blog with a jean vest, but when I started planning out my Derby content, I knew that I wanted this dress to be apart of it.

My mom and I usually make hats when we go to Derby or Oaks and two years ago, I snagged this white hat from Dee’s, a local Louisville craft store. Dee’s always has stunning hats + the option to have a hat made custom to go with your outfit, but as I’ve said before — it’s not uncommon for the hat to end up being more than your outfit. Even the plain bases {like this white one} are a bit pricy {not compared to other hat stores in the area, just in general}; I want to say I paid a little more than $50 for this one and that’s on the less expensive side for Dee’s. Still even with their prices, I really do love going to the store because all of their supplies and finished hats and fascinators are beautiful.

I really wanted to pull in the mint from my dress after I decided on wearing this hat with it, so I brought out my mint bauble necklace {still a personal favorite!} and my new mint sandals from Old Navy. Side note on these sandals: they come in a ton of colors and keep going on sale. I’m pretty sure I want to do some kind of DIY project on them, but haven’t gotten the time to yet. Stay tuned.

I chose to keep accessories minimal and just wore my Fieldcrest watch instead of any bracelets. I love the classic and neutral wood; it’s always a big conversation starter in crowds too. If you’re looking for something special for Mother’s Day, be sure to check out JORD’s site! I love how these watches are such unique gifts.

My clutch is actually a crossbody bag that I take the strap off of when I want a clutch. I bought this three years ago for Kentucky Oaks from Nordstrom Rack. It has 8 card slots inside so that I can put my ID, cards and some cash in without losing room to a wallet and then is the right size for my phone, hair ties, keys and other essentials. Bonus: the inside is a fun black and white striped fabric. Churchill Downs did switch to a smaller purse requirement a few years ago for safety reasons so this one has been the perfect size + I love the crossbody option.

Check the Time with Jord Wood Watch

December 17, 2015

It’s strange to think that you’d never catch me in a watch four to five years ago, especially considering that I feel naked without one on my wrist now. For me, a watch is the perfect center to any arm party. Lately, I’ve been into letting my watch be my lone wrist adornment.

What Nicole Wore: Check the Time with Jord Watch — shop the post: red sweater {similar | also seen here} + green gingham shirt {similar | also seen here} + blue jeans + black scallop flats {similar} + silver druzy necklace + crystal statement necklace + fieldcrest watch c/o jord wood watches + full coverage foundation + powder + blush {in natural beauty} + lip color {over this – new obsession!} + eyebrows (all of my beauty items are 20% off right now; these brands are very rarely included in sales!}

This week’s been all about running around and finishing up all of the last minute Christmas errands as well as taking daily trips to the post office. Comfort’s been key, so a pullover sweater over a button down has been the perfect style equation. The other perfect companion, my new Jord watch! Jord offers free worldwide shipping and if you’re in the continental US, you can still get your order before Christmas as long as you order by Sunday!

When my watch first arrived, I was blown away by the gorgeous wood storage box it came in. Of course, before I could even pull the watch out of the box, my mom swooped right in to ooh and ahhh over the craftsmanship. To be fair, how often do you see someone wearing a wood watch? It’s for sure one of the most unique statement pieces you could wear or gift to someone. On top of being highly detailed and unique, the watch also smells phenomenal; this one is made of zebrawood and maple and the combination makes the coloring one that could be worn by anyone, male or female.

I love the Delmar series of watches for the men that may be still lingering on your list; my uncle and dad are always ridiculously hard to shop for and I think this one would suit both of them. (I love this coloring of the watch too.) For the ladies, I really like the Frankie and Cora options as well as the Fieldcrest that I’m wearing.

These watches are available in a variety of colors and finishes and they can size the watch for you. Mine arrived a little too snug, so I took the watch to my local fast fix jeweler and had them add a link back into the watch. My watch came in the beautiful wood box, pictured above, that is part of Jord’s unique signature and tucked away inside were three extra links. I love the embroidered, herringbone pillow that the watch is on; the wood really pops against it.

Want to try one out? In the spirit of the season, I’ve teamed up with Jord to offer $20 off to my readers. Simply click here and follow the instructions. Let me know what you end up getting!
