Jord Wood Watch

I based today's outfit around my beautiful, new wristwatch from Jord.  

Jord is a company that makes unique women's and men's watches from different kinds of wood.  I don't believe I had ever seen a watch made of wood until Jord approached me about doing this collaboration.  I love how beautiful all of their wrist watches are, but I decided to go with the Maple and Zebrawood in the Fieldcrest series because I just love the exotic look and striping of the Zebrawood.  It's a cool watch that can transition to any season.   

My watch  came in a beautiful wooden case; it's lovely just to sit on a shelf or dresser.  

A wood watch by Jord would make such a wonderful, unique gift!  Check out their website and you can see there are so many gorgeous colors, shades and styles of wood wristwatches!

If you'd like to have a chance to win your own wristwatch, Jord is having a special giveaway!  Just follow this link to be instantly entered to win the voucher worth $75. The winner is automatically picked and notified via email at the end of the giveaway, which ends on July 17th. If you don't win, you'll still receive an e-gift card for $20 off your own JORD watch!

Modern Design Inc. Heart Necklace

For today's post, I am wearing an adorable heart necklace by Modern Design Inc. 
Modern Design is a diamond jewelry manufacturer and wholesaler based in L.A.  They have so many gorgeous engagement and wedding ring choices available on their website!  They also have other jewelry available, like my necklace, which would make a perfect gift for yourself or a sweetheart.
The necklace I am wearing is sterling silver with a tiny diamond accent.  I had a hard time deciding which necklace I wanted, so I had my husband help me pick out this beautiful heart.  I look forward to wearing it with lots of different outfits.

Thank you very much to Modern Design for sending me this lovely necklace to review!

Neosan Black Bikini


Thank you Neosan for sending me this bikini complementary for review! 
A black bikini is a swimwear staple, and every girl that wears bikinis should have one.  Just think of it as the LBB (Little Black Bikini).  A simple black bikini is also a great choice for travel because there's so many ways you can change up the look with different accessories and cover-ups.  

This Neosan bikini is a great bikini choice for your LBB.  It has ruching up the back, and tie sides.  The triangle bikini is a favorite of mine.  When I first saw the bottom, I thought it looked so small, I wasn't sure it would give appropriate cover, but one I put it on and adjusted the sides I saw it is actually pretty much the same amount of coverage as most of my others.  I am wearing a medium, and you can see I have extended to side ties quite a bit, so you may want to order a size larger than normal to be sure you'll get a comfortable fit.  Also, just because I chose black, they have this same style bikini in may other different colors.

AYL SoundFit Plus Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker Review

This 7.4 inch long AYL SoundFit Plus Waterproof Bluetooth speaker has amazing sound for such a small package. Being water resistant, it's a great option for hanging out at the beach or pool this summer.  I am so thrilled with the quality, I would like to get one for everyone in my family!

There's also an option to buy a special attachment for your bike, which I think would be great, especially since it seems safer than wearing ear buds, in my opinion.

The speaker has its own volume buttons, which I like.  A different Bluetooth speaker I have just has the on and off button.  I like the option of having volume control on the device itself.

Here are some of the product details:
  • Hands-Free Built-In Microphone
  • Advanced Bluetooth Connectivity
  • Lightweight, Compact Design
  • Waterproof, Dust Proof and Shock Resistant
  • Charge Time: 3-4 Hours (Full)
  • Play Time: 6-8 Hours
  • Input: 3.5mm AUX-In, Micro USB or Bluetooth
  • Charges via Micro USB 
 Thank you to AYL for sending me this product to review!

Boho Skirt

I love the embroidery and the colorful details of this Ark & Co. skirt.   The fabric is also very soft and light-weight, which makes it great for travel.

Black Lace Shawl

I really enjoyed putting this outfit together, and I think the results are great.  The black lace and red roses are so romantic.  You can't see a lot of the necklace I'm wearing, but it's a recent purchase from Kohl's.  I've gotten a lot of really fun and pretty pieces from Kohl's.

Strawberry Print Dress

I decided to wear this adorable, strawberry print dress today because my husband told me it's a Strawberry Moon tonight, and there won't be another one for decades. We celebrated the occasion with strawberry daiquiris, and cheesecake with fresh strawberries for dessert. 

Have you heard of the strawberry moon?

Peach Lace Skirt

 I really love this outfit.  The peachy colors are just so pretty, and everything went so great together even though they were bought separately.  My earrings matched very well and I bought them while I was out shopping with this outfit already on.  I also found my Wet & Wild lipstick the same day.  It all came together to make one lovely, peachy outfit!  I bought my pretty, Lauren Conrad necklace while I was shopping in North Carolina earlier this month.

Cherry Blossom Print Dress

This cotton dress was a comfortable choice on a hot, Virginia day.  I decided to wear my hair in double braids worn to one side.

I wore this mint green, lace dress on a trip to High Point, North Carolina.   The beaded and fringe shawl was all I needed for cover on what was a hot day.

Blush Tulle Skirt

 I love the blush color of this skirt, it just goes with so many things.  I decided to go with perhaps an unexpected color blouse in a retro look.  I have a lot of these flowers for my hair, but it seems like I never wear them because I forget I have them!  I need to change that and start wearing them more often, especially this summer!

Red Roses Embroidery

I'm really into Spanish influenced styles lately.  I've always been a fan, but I think the warm weather makes me want to wear the look even more.  Red and black will always be a great color combination to me.  Throw in beautiful embroidery, and roses, and I'm sold!

Black & White Striped Dress

I love the sparkly, silver detail on this black, straw hat.  It adds a little glamour to this otherwise casual, comfortable outfit.  My Chatties sandals are so comfortable, and I've been wearing these pretty much non-stop since the weather warmed.  I love flip flops!

Beige Peplum Dress

I love the neutral tones of this outfit.  And I also love my new, Wild Diva leopard heels. I've been wanting a pair of leopard shoes since last fall, and I finally got myself a pair!  Another thing I love is my fringe, leather bag.  Even though I don't wear it often, I do love fringe.  I need to start fringing more things...

Black & White Floral Dress

 I'm feeling a little retro in this dress.  The dress was a little large on me but I just added a beautiful beaded belt.  It's amazing how much adding a belt can help for a little definition.   I particularly love this black, beaded one because it can be worn with formal dresses.
