    The Classic Jord Watch

    One of my favorites aspects of blogging is getting to be creative – I love when brands give a concept and we get to create a story together! This brings me to the Cora Polaris collection by JORD. JORD (pronounced Yode) is based in St. Louis. Their watches are a sophisticated mix of natural, and largely re-claimed materials, combined with quality movements and components.

    My unique Cora Polaris koa and rose gold watch is a timeless piece of jewelry that is versatile, remarkably well-finished to the point that it is a welcome addition to dressy chronographs. The feminine design has a subtle design that is transformative for any outfit, whether you’re polishing up for work or elevating basics.

    This was such a sweet shoot and I absolutely loved wearing a lace skirt and blouse to further highlight the femininity of the Cora Polaris Koa and Rose Gold watch. There are just so many details in the finishing. Every feature, from the dial to the bracelet, are an evolution in the way natural timepieces ought to be. Swarovski crystals adorn the exquisite rose gold dial to depict the Little Dipper (yup, a delicate reminder of how much the universe has to offer). Koa is encased in hand-polished metal with rose gold tones.

    Koa is a species native to Hawaii and is widely considered to be the most beautiful of the native hardwoods. Though softer than several of our used wood species, Koa machines exceptionally well and finishes smooth with a beautiful natural sheen. Depending on the harvest season, Koa wood will produce tones that range from medium gold to reddish brown, similar to Mahogany. This watch is certainly going to be an all-year-rounder in my wardrobe.

    The Cora Polaris watch is such a beautiful example of sleek and modern design. I love having standout accessories I can wear daily that are both eye-catching and unique! This watch is a timeless piece for any multi-seasonal wardrobe, and also perfect for gift-giving! JORD ships worldwide and their watches have additional options for customization and engraving.

    How To Elevate Your Wardrobe With A Few Accessories

    Fashion, Style by louise

    I have recently become more interested in timeless clothing that will live on in my wardrobe for a length of time. I am usually one to stay away from the fast fashion hauling and opt more for better quality and classic designs.  For me, it is about finding creative ways to re-wear some of my favorite basics during the seasons without having an  I have nothing to wear moment.

    You would not find certain basic outfits gathering dust in my wardrobe for very long.  As a working mom on the go, wraps, pashmina shawl, ponchos, and scarfs are one of the “must-haves” in my wardrobe.  Apart from the basic white tee and a few neutral colored clothes, wraps, stoles, or scarfs allow me the freedom to style my look appropriately in a new and unique way. For this reason, I have a number of wraps and scarfs in a variety of colors and style.

    An important part of every wardrobe is to have a few bold pieces to turn a simple outfit into an effortless one. When it comes to fashion, everything is a balance. It is all about finding that thin line between practicality, accessorizing with a few bold embellishments, and learning how to wear your clothes differently. The best way to maximize what you already have is to either accessorize or add statement items that can update your look. These earrings add a pop of color to the entire look while the bold print from the wrap elevates the outfit to become effortlessly luxe.

    As I have gotten older, I have shaped and defined my personal style by embracing fashion pieces that work for me and providing an edited point of view.  A wrap, colorful earrings, or extravagant scarf or pashmina shawl can change up an entire look so that it appears completely new. Accessories are something you can dress up or down and mix and match. I always invest in a wrap since it is great for daytime casual wear but can also be worn to more formal outings or a night out.

    How do you like to elevate your basic pieces to create a luxe look?
