This post contains a paid partnership with Nordgreen.
Hello Autumn! & hello to you too, it's been a while since my last blog
post. With autumn officially here and with it being my favourite season, I'm
so excited to share some of my autumn favourites and to showcase how my
personal style changes for this season. In this post, I'm introducing you to Nordgreen - a sustainable and ethical
Danish brand with a timeless design - which I've incorporated into my daily
style as I've been slowly transitioning my outfits into autumn.

September tends to be quite a mild month with sunshine filled days which I
love! I've been making the most of these sunny days by continuing to wear
some of my summer favourites like midi dresses but styling them with ankle
boots instead of sandals like I did throughout the summer months. I'm also
changing up my accessories for autumn as well.
By now I'm sure you know how much I adore gold jewellery, I really think
your accessories can completely transform an outfit. I often like to
experiment and change some of my accessories including necklaces, earrings
and more recently, rings too but there are a couple of key pieces that I
rarely change. I'm never without a watch - since the age of 16 when I got my
first grown up watch (i.e. not made of plastic and instead, a
classic gold finish) - I have always worn one, my wrist feels so bare
without one.
I've become quite picky with my watches over the years, not only because I
love wearing them but also because of how they compliment my style.
Recently, I picked out a new timepiece from
Nordgreen
to see me through the autumn and winter months coming up this year.

From their vast selection of watch styles and after much deliberation, I
picked the Philosopher style women's watch which is available in two
sizes: 36mm and 40mm. I chose the larger size, 40mm, because I like
wearing a large watch as it becomes more of a statement piece - even if
it's a really simple and timeless design like all Nordgreen watches are.
You can choose which metal finish you want from silver, gun metal, rose
gold and gold. It shouldn't come as a surprise to you that I chose the
gold finish - call me predictable!
Not only can you choose all the finishing touches (size, style and metals)
but you're also able to choose different straps for your watch. This is a
more sustainable way of changing your watch
without actually changing it and Nordgreen are all about
introducing more ethical and sustainable timepieces through their minimal
designs. All the little details are thought of when it comes to the
creation of their varying watch straps as every strap has different
closures to match the metal of your chosen watch. The straps are available
in multiple materials including authentic leather, vegan leather, nylon
and mesh.
As I'm sure you can imagine, making a selection was pretty tough as there
are so many options to choose from but I was able to really create my
ideal watch. I decided to go for the 20mm mesh strap in gold to compliment
the Philosopher style which I think will look so good all year round.
Although I couldn't resist an additional second strap - Nordgreen have
beautiful packaging which perfectly houses your chosen watch and
additional straps you choose - I wanted something different and fitting
for the upcoming winter so for my second strap of choice, I picked a dark
colour, opting for navy blue in vegan leather (which has gold hardware to
match the watch face I chose).

One of the reasons why I was so keen to share Nordgreen with you is
because of the Danish brand's commitment to sustainability. All packaging
is made of FSC-certified cardboard and up-cycled felt while the felt
inside the box is made from up-cycled plastic bottles. Their commitment to
sustainability extends to sourcing responsible materials that make the
least possible impact on the environment from authentic leather, vegan
leather, nylon and mesh.
Nordgreen's giving back programme supports three charities
including Water for Good, Pratham UK and Cool Earth with each watch purchased as well
as continuously supporting and partnering with different NGO's. On top of
this, the Danish brand ensures it stays carbon neutral through planting
thousands of trees to offset carbon emissions.
A large watch looks great this time of year and will continue to make a
statement throughout the year as it peeks through your long sleeved tops
and knitwear. Yet equally looks great in the summer as a statement piece
on your wrist. As I start to change my outfits and style to suit the cold
months ahead, this is a watch that will compliment my transitional style
so well. Like I said, I'm never without a watch so I really love how
timeless the design is.
