colour blocking | pinks and reds

colour blocking | pinks and reds

Wearing: my grandma’s shirt (alternatives here and here), missguided top, new look PU skirt (alternatives here and here) and monki earrings (alternatives here and here) By now you’ve probably seen pink and red combinations everywhere. They graced the S/S 18 catwalks back in September with the likes of Isabel Marant, Attico and Annakiki and now they’ve flooded the mass market too. Always keen on…

beauty moments: new spring editions

here's me writing about what I wear on my faaaace...sometimes...occasionally...when I can be bothered

I always feel the need to caviate any beauty-related post with the fact that I don’t really know what I’m doing (I’d like to think no one else does but instagram, youtube and my IRL friends show otherwise). Nonetheless, over the last few months I’ve gathered a few new beauty bits which I’m loving and thought I would share. Personally I’m into sheer makeup (I’ve got dry skin with occasional eczema…

setting the tone

Hi. It’s been a while. 8 months in fact! I’ve been busy having one of the best summers of my life (seems like a very distant memory now), having several ‘what do I actually want to do with my life?!’ crises and starting university! In many ways my life has changed dramatically yet in many ways I’m still here, still Jodie, still blogging. I’ve wanted to open up the laptop and type out a blog post…

hi, again

Getting back into writing on this blog often feels like getting back into writing a diary – I skim read my last post with a hyper critical eye and suddenly declare myself a completely new person, miles away from someone who would’ve written the previous entry. But while I’ve never, ever, succeeded in keeping a diary longer than 2 weeks, I’d like to consider this blog a little bit more of a…

Styling New In | Mango Pt.2

Styling New In | Mango Pt.2

The last in my current ‘new in’ stuff is another piece from Mango! I’m a big fan of convienient and comfy clothing so this khaki skort (e.g. looks like a skirt at the front but is actually shorts) caught my eye immediately. While I’m definitely more of a skirt wearer, having the ease of the shorts makes everyday wear more practical, especially when it’s so short. Despite having very little khaki…

Things I'm Sick of Hearing

Things I’m Sick of Hearing

It appears my teenage angst may have arrived late (although my parents would claim otherwise). Perhaps it is just this stressful period which has sparked the burning cauldron of moodiness – although even I’d have to interject here to say there has always been at least a flickering of moody teenage vibes in my personality. Either way I find myself in a current state of moodiness. Not the angry…

summer sheers

You’re probably already sick of seeing bright colours on the blog but with this amazingly sunny weather (can you tell I’m loving it?) I can’t help but gravitate towards these bolder ensembles. Today is something a little different and special as I’m wearing a sheer top which I made earlier this week! I’ve been wanting to make some more clothes for a while and seeing as I have a few weeks off over…

WHAT. IS. THIS?

… It’s been a while … A long while … If you’ve read this blog for a while you’ll be aware occasionally it gets thrown to the sidelines as I deal with life. This blog has been by my side a while now, having started it back in 2013 (in Year 10) I’ve constantly switched between consistent posting schedules and eratic updates. However, like a long lost friend or favourite book I always return at some…
