just when i thought it would never arrive, fall decided to show up this weekend (insert celebratory emoji here). while i’ve certainly enjoyed having an extended summer, it was refreshing to put on jeans and a sweater for a change.
after a day of solo errand-running in preparation for my bridal shower (more on that later in the week!), it was nice to enjoy a quiet fall date night with my main squeeze. even amidst the busyness of wedding planning and just everyday life, we really try take the time to enjoy an evening out just the two of us, even if it’s just a casual dinner at one of our local haunts.
speaking of time, the fabulous team at JORD wood watches recently sent me one of their signature wood watches to help me keep my schedule on track while also looking chic. through their use of natural materials, JORD pieces do more than just tell the time, they also tell a story. they’re kind of the exclamation point on the perfect fall outfit.

hobo bag (c/o) || madewell hat (on sale!)
the one i’m wearing is the “frankie” made of zebrawood and accented by a champagne-colored face. i love the warmth of the wood and how well it pairs with my favorite fall color palette. it was also the perfect compliment to my newest natalie borton necklace, her signature “camille” necklace featuring cognac-colored beads. aside from the design itself, the watch is also extremely comfortable. unlike the leather straps on my other watches, this one has a clasp closure. using JORD’s easy wrist-measuring system on their website, i was able to select my exact size ensuring a perfect fit.
fun fact: one of the first gifts i ever gave S was a watch for christmas. since he doesn’t wear any other jewelry (except for a wedding ring very soon!), wearing watches are kind of his way of “accessorizing” his outfits. given his love for wood-working, a timepiece made of wood might be the perfect gift for our upcoming nuptials. perhaps i’ll have to peruse the men’s watch section… and while i’m at it, the ladies’ watch section, too. because you can never have enough time, right? or enough watches to tell it.
