In Search of Signs of Spring (+ a Free JORD Watch Giveaway!)

She loved running up and down the street, and stopped to look at many of the trees, and leaves (that I never cleared during the fall). We even found a few hosta plants breaking through the recently thawed ground.

I have to say though, having to retreat back inside after an afternoon out was quite hard, and even more so when it dropped down to the 30s for the next few days!

Spring Style

As a result, I have been trying to find ways to infuse a little more “spring” into my life while I wait out the weather.

One of my favorite ways to get pumped for the season is by changing up accessories.  I switched out my dark winter scarves for colorful infinity ones and brought out some of my more colorful jewelry to start wearing again. I’ve also been pulling out/shopping for spring accessories for Charlie, and am loving the cute colors and patterns in the raincoats, boots, and sunhats I am finding.

Stepping into Spring with JORD

This post is sponsored by JORD. I received a free watch to review, but all opinions are my own. See my disclosure page for more details about reviewing products I love!

I love finding accessories that add just the right dose of color and interest, whether it be for apparel or home decor. I have been updating my table and mantle decor to reflect the new season as well. In addition to bright colors, I am a huge fan of anything with wood tones for spring decor or personal accessories.

That is why I am excited to have partnered with JORD to help show off their new Conway watch line. I love the idea of a wood watch- there is something so natural and unique about it. And wood accessories are definitely trending (here on Cape Cod wooden sunglasses were HUGE last summer!)

JORD has both beautiful women’s watches and timepieces for men, but I was lucky enough to get my hands on the Conway Zebrawood & Dark Sandalwood men’s watch.

When I first saw it, I fell in love with the rich grains of the two different kinds of wood. The combination of the two is gorgeous—I love how the lighter and darker tones play off each other—and they definitely evoke a feeling of spring to me.

And the packaging is almost as pretty as the watch itself! The box is a great place to keep it but also serves as a nice display case as well.

Classically natural

Even though a wood watch may seem like a modern trend, the handsome design is actually really classic as well. The chronograph function (timer circles within the watch face) and the lattice etching around the bezel (ring around the watch face) are my two favorite aspects of the design.

Little known fact—I actually spent a year writing jewelry product descriptions for a company, so I really admire details that make accessories unique!

To me, this is the perfect watch for springtime. The natural wood tones emit a sense of warmth and casual elegance that spring style is all about.

The combination of finishes looks smart with both casual and dressier outfits, helping you to stay on time and looking cool, no matter the situation.
