My Love Of All Things Rustic: JORD Wood Watches + A Giveaway!

This post is in collaboration with JORD. All of these opinions are entirely my own. Thank you for supporting brands and businesses that support Fabulous in Fayette!

I just love the rustic look of reclaimed wood! When my husband and I buy a house, I even plan on incorporating the rustic look into the modern style that I want for our future house. This watch is perfect because it has that classic look that I love. You know, using something old and creating something completely new out of it?!

I own a few pieces of jewelry made from reclaimed bourbon barrels, so of course, I’ve been admiring these wood watches from JORD for quite some time, and was even thinking about getting one for myself. These are some unique watches that you just won’t see anywhere else. You never have to worry about these watches going out of style. Not only are the watches gorgeous, they come beautifully packaged and JORD offers both men’s watches and women’s watches. It’s seriously impressive. Just take a look…

I was super excited that JORD contacted me and wanted to send a men’s watch to feature on my blog. I was super excited, because it was something that I was able to give to my husband. Anytime I get to pamper him, it’s great. JORD was also kind enough to custom size it for him, so when it arrived, it would fit perfectly. Once it arrived, we went out and did a photoshoot. Instead of my husband being behind the camera, he got to be the model for once.

On this night we decided to go to the Distillery District to eat at Goodfellas, but it ended up being too crowded. For those that live in Lexington, I’m sure you’ve all heard about how the Distillery District is being revitalized and updated. This is the new booming, “it” areas in Lexington (another is the North Limestone area). There is seriously some cool stuff happening there, and I can’t wait to see how it will be transformed five years from now or even just one year.

For those that don’t know, the Distillery District is home to the James E. Pepper Distillery. This distillery will actually be renovated and rebuilt and will open up in late 2017. The distillery was the only one in Lexington to survive Prohibition, according to the National Historic Register. There once had been about 140 in and around the city. Pepper had huge stores of whiskey in bonded warehouses (one of which is still standing), and the product was bottled and sold as legal medicinal whiskey. After Prohibition, the plant was bought by Schenley and rebuilt, but by the 1950s the combination of overproduction and changing consumer tastes put it out of business.
