Summer Style with JORD Watches + Giveaway

Thanks to JORD for sponsoring this post!

It's clear that the summertime allows my style to become much more playful. Colors and prints are worn without reservation, and the round rattan bag has been the anchor. When JORD contacted me to review one of their stunning wood watches, I decided to go with the Frankie style in the zebrawood and champagne, as I love the light natural shade of the wood and the gold hardware (because I love gold everything, and while I might have chosen the navy face, it's silver hardware was just not going to work for me). The unique wood watch could not be a more perfect compliment to the rattan bag, and my summer style right now. The watch is also quite the conversation piece - very few people have ever encountered a wood watch!

I really love how lightweight and comfortable the watch is to wear - also it's worth noting that this is the smaller version of the Frankie with the 35mm watch face rather than the 45mm, which is more sized for men.

This past winter I gave Sean a watch for Christmas, even though he was adamant that he was not a watch person. Well, that certainly did change and now he won't leave the house without it. JORD has some gorgeous men's watches and even offers engraving, plus they come in a gorgeous wood box with a magnetic lid, which would make for such a perfect gift - even though it's August and I don't want to think about the holiday season yet, it doesn't hurt to have an idea in the back of my mind!

Whatever your summer style may be, you are likely to find a JORD watch to fit it, and JORD is offering one Chic on the Cheap reader a $100 gift code, but everyone who enters will receive a $25 gift code! Everybody wins!

Enter the Giveaway here!

The contest will close August 20 at 11:59pm. Both the $100 and the $25 codes will expire on 10/31/2017.

Soak Slides Giveaway!

Thanks to Nakturnal for sponsoring this post and giveaway!

Imagine your favorite pair of flip flops - the ones you wear around the house, to the beach, to yoga. The ones with no arch support, that you'd feel slightly embarrassed wearing to grab coffee with a friend in. Now imagine if the ease of those sandals were a stylish slide with arch support that you'd confidently wear out to dinner, and could still go to the beach in.

The creators of Soak slides realized there was a gap in most of our shoe wardrobes that was begging to be filled, and not only are Soak slides comfortable and stylish (I've honestly worn them every day since they arrived, work, weekend, and out to drinks, which is what I'm sharing here) but they are made here in the USA from recyclable material.

The slides come in a number of colors, including two tone and metallics and I was having such a hard time deciding, so I decided to play it safe and just get go-with-anything black, especially since the color I chose would be the color one of you will have a chance to win! Yes, Soak is generously giving one Chic on the Cheap reader a pair of their amazing slides! Head to the bottom of the post to enter, however if you'd like to just grab a pair right now, use the code CHIC15 for 15% off your order.

Crown Jewelry Giveaway!

Thanks to Crown Jewelry for sponsoring this post!

My love of jewelry is vast, my collection probably makes the number of shoes I own seem reasonable in comparison. Just as I'd never leave the house without shoes, I'd never leave without some piece of jewelry on.

Today I'm excited to share Crown Jewelry with you, who offers an expansive range of pieces at reasonable price points; most pieces are sterling silver or gold plated sterling silver. That is especially nice for earrings, since my ears can no longer tolerate other metals. I really adore the Glass and Diamond Chip Ring they sent to me, it's so elegant, yet understated enough to be a piece I could easily wear everyday.

Crown Jewelry would also love to share a piece with a Chic on the Cheap reader! Scroll down to enter the giveaway!

Giveaway: theenclosed.com

We all know the power clothes have to change our moods, and sometimes it's what only we can see which has the biggest effect of all. Sometimes we wear sexy lingerie for our significant others, but sometimes we wear it just for ourselves. Another great mood booster is getting a package in the mail, so theenclosed.com has brilliantly combined the two. A subscription based service, complete with a stylist, a pair of beautiful panties arrives each month in a rose petal filled box. The panties are sourced from European designers, and they offer a wide range of styles.

The Enclosed is a great idea for men who would love to give lingerie to their significant others but are unsure of what to get and might not feel comfortable going to a brick and mortar store. All you need to do is fill out a simple questionnaire and let the stylists do their job.

Wouldn't it be such a fun gift for a bachelorette party too?

But best of all, The Enclosed is giving one Chic on the Cheap reader a free one month subscription to try it out for themselves!

Serendipity & Grace Jewelry Giveaway!

Recently Serendipity and Grace launched their own jewelry line - an expansive collection of pieces at affordable price points, and what I love most about the collection is that all the pieces are made in the USA. Serendipity and Grace sent me a few pieces and I was not disappointed.

The trinity quartz cuff is a striking statement piece, the wire is malleable and it's easy to wear - not too heavy. The agate tassel necklace looks gorgeous on its own, but would work layered as well. I love the twisted detailing on the double chain. Last is the crystal quartz bracelet - the most subtle piece and something I can throw on everyday and add to my usual stack.

Now Serendipity and Grace is giving one Chic on the Cheap reader a chance to win a piece of jewelry of their choice from the Fairy Tale Collection! The collection features an array of gorgeous stone pendants and braided tassel bracelets that would be the perfect bohemian touch to a look.

Head down to the Rafflecopter to enter - good luck!

X Marks the Spot - how you could win a pair of Pumas from JD Sports

One part treasure hunt and one part social media competition, JD Sports has launched a fun, interactive social media campaign spanning several cities that began earlier this week.

The prize - Two pairs of Puma Trinomic XT1 trainers.
The challenge - A crate containing vouchers for the shoes (you've got to get the right size after all) has been hidden somewhere in each of the participating cities, and the only way to discover their location is to follow along on twitter and decipher the clues given. The first person to find the crate must announce it on twitter!

The hunt started across the pond in London, but will be arriving in New York City this week after it rolls through Manchester and Liverpool.

To make sure you don't miss any clues, follow @JDSportsfashion as well as the appropriate account for the city you are in on twitter! Keep an eye on the #JDXPUMA hashtag as well.

This post is sponsored by JD Sports, however I love to share fun contests and events with you and thought it would be something you'd enjoy!
