Heya! 

I am back for my weekly post. Today's post is a little bit different. Its a kind of chatty review I guess you could say. 

So what is today's post actually about? Well recently I have had an amazing opportunity to do a collaboration for a super cool online store called 'Coconut Lane'. Today I will be talking a little bit about that and about the first thing I purchased from them!

So who are Coconut Lane? Well as I previously mentioned they are basically an online store. They sell a variety of really cute, sassy and chic items. This includes things like wall art, cards, phone cases, jewellery, clothing, stationary and sunglasses. 


Now in today's post I wanted to focus on the first thing which I purchased from them. This was one of their wall art prints.

 You can actually choose when purchasing this item if you would like it to be framed or not and what colour you would like the print and frame to be. Although I think the prints in the frames look super classy and sophisticated I personally chose to get it unframed as I thought this would be more practical for taking to Uni with me.

 If you are looking to put the frame somewhere in your room and have space I would definitely recommend the framed option as it gives that professional look. However I think mine looks just as good without a frame. Furthermore the accommodation at the Uni I am hoping to go to actually has a giant pin board so I thought this would be the perfect print for that to break up some of my photographs so it doesn't look to jumbled and over crowded.

 I personally chose my print to be in white and black as I feel like you cant go wrong with white and black. It will go with anything and it looks a bit more polished and elegant.  



 The print comes on a really thick piece of white card which makes it really durable if you choose not to get your print framed which is really handy.

Coconut Lane not only sell super fun items but they are also a great company too. They work very closely with bloggers and as a result I was fortunate enough to do a collaboration with them. This means if anyone wants to purchase anything from coconut lane they can simply use my code and get 20% off! My code for the discount is 'jodiem20' .


I really hope you have enjoyed reading this post! Don't forget I love to hear any feedback about my blog. I hope you are also all doing well, also remember if you want to purchase anything from coconut lane use my discount code 'jodiem20' .

Thanks for reading! See you next week!

Heya! 

I'm back and today's post is an outfit post which will particularly be focusing on the camel coat look. 

So let's get started! The camel colour is hugely popular at the moment and has been worn regularly by several of the Kardashian's. One of the key high street trends the colour has been seen on is the tailored duster style women's coats. Much like the one my friend Brittany is wearing in the pictures. 


 This duster style coat is very popular at the moment with both high street fast fashion and ready-to-wear branded clothing. It is a perfect item for keeping you warm in the winter weather yet still making sure you look on trend at the same time. I personally love this style coat. I think it looks really professional and completes an outfit. 


For this outfit Brittany has paired her camel coloured coat with a light brown knitted jumper. The light brown colour compliments the camel colour really nicely and adds depth to the outfit by bringing in another shade of the similar colour. This creates a harmonious look. The knitted style of the jumper also provides extra warmth for winter weather as well as adding another on trend style. 

To accompany the outfit Brittany has worn skinny fit black Joni jeans. Joni jeans are the perfect option for any kind of outfit. They are both casual but also look smart due to the fit and colour. A perfect option to pair a knitted jumper with.


 For shoes Brittany wore slightly heeled style boots. These are a major high street trend at the moment. They are so versatile in terms of what you can wear them with. They go with pretty much anything. In this case Brittany's are black which matches the jeans perfectly. This particular pair also have a slightly suede look to them which makes them a double trend item. I personally think Brittany's pair are super fab because the heel/platform is not too high which means they are totally wearable for day to day wear yet they still look slightly more dressed up and smart. 


To accessorize Brittany has added a small and very pretty silver pendant necklace as well as some silver classy rings. This makes the look more feminine and creates a more sophisticated look.

I hope you liked this weeks outfit post! I of course will be back next week but with a slightly different post. Thank you all for reading!

Heya!

I am back, today's post is slightly different but I wanted to let you guys know about what I have been up to recently so I thought I would share with you one of the things I did this weekend. 

There have actually been a lot of things which I have done recently which is why I have only been able to blog once a week. But hopefully I will get to catch up with you all soon about everything. So let's get started!

Now last Saturday I went to a women's rights protest in London. I actually went because I wanted to get some primary research pictures for my textiles. I am doing my work in textiles around the theme politics so I really wanted to get some first hand inspiration. 


Now I had never actually been to a protest before so this was my first experience! The protest started on Oxford Street just outside of Selfridges. The march was formed of lots of different groups which had come together to stand up for women's rights. 


Seeing everyone marching together and chanting for women was very empowering and I am really glad I got to experience it. The march is held annually every year. I thought it was a very appropriate post for today as international women's day is tomorrow. 


The protest was actually very big many people joined in and the march lead all the way up to Trafalgar square where a rally was then held.


My trip was really successful as I was able to capture some create photos which I will definitely be able to use for my textiles. 


Today's post has been very short but I wanted to make sure I didn't miss out on a post and I wanted to let you all know what I have been up to. In the next few weeks I may also have slightly shorter posts as deadlines are approaching and exams are just around the corner so I have a lot of work to do. Anyway I hope you are all well and enjoyed this slightly different read today. I will be back soon. Thanks for reading!

Heya! 

I'm back again and today's post is going to be my last outfit post with the mono mix theme! I would also like to apologies for not posting in what feels like forever! (even though its only been a week) anyway my internet has been down so I haven't been able to post anything. Well I better get started. Today's outfit I styled on my friend Aimee who as you will see has silver hair, very convenient for a mono mix post! It is also a more of a grunge style outfit which I thought some of you might be interested in. 


To create an edgy look I chose a wardrobe essential to style Aimee. Yes of course a classic black leather jacket! I love these as they are so great for any style outfit and can worn both dressy and casual. To give it a more styled and grungy look Aimee opted for rolled up sleeves which just makes the jacket look slightly unique.

For Aimee's top we choose a black and white mono printed shirt. Printed shirts are literally one of my favorite things. Once again you can dress them up or down and I honestly think they are so versatile. Because this post is for a more edgy style we choose to have the shirt tucked out. I think this also created a nice look with the leather jacket as it was slightly longer which again helped create an edgy look.


For jewelry we didn't want to overpower this look because it would have created a more punk style rather than grunge. Instead I chose to accessories Aimee with silver; this was because the detailing on her jacket was a dark silver in colour so I thought it would compliment it well. In terms of jewelry we chose a pendant charm necklace as this made the look slightly more feminine but still fitted in with the theme. To keep a edgy style Aimee also wore a silver/grey nose ring. 

In terms of Aimee's hair it was already pretty cool. I mean look how amazing the colour is! Anyway to just create a more stylish look Aimee styled her hair in a half up do bun. This created a free spirited hairstyle with an edge. 

For shoes we opted for the classic black ankle boots. Ankle boots are again one of my favorite things as they can be worn with almost anything. For this look the boots were also leather which created a create combo for the jacket and also a more rebellious choice.


This is has been my outfit post on a mono mix edgy look. I hope you have enjoyed it! Thanks so much for having a read and the support!
