Hey guys! 

I hope you are all doing super well! So today I thought I would do a little post about some of the key shows from New York Fashion Week. So as you may know Fashion week is one of my favourite times of the year. It gets me so excited and the buzz is just so incredible so I thought I'd share with you guys today some of my favourites from New York fashion Week. 

Okay so firstly there is of course Coach. The Spring 2017 collection was designed by Stuart Vevers. The vibes gave of a tough girl look with leather jackets and studs to accompany a rebel style. 


But it wasn't just a typically rebellious look. The collection was put together in a very interesting way. For examples feminine sheer types of fabrics where used to create the edgy look which created the perfect contrast. 

The unusual combination of silk scarves and creeper style shoes where put together but it worked perfectly to create an edgy yet super fashion orientated high end look.

Although I love the punk style it is not always something I am immediately wowed by. However this collection really was special and different to others.

The Next show to of course showcase another amazing collection was Victoria Beckham. The designer stuck to the classic look yet it was not in the slightest boring,


The feminine chosen luxurious fabrics where dreamy. The shapes of the fabric where not fitted in a way to a usual feminine figure yet the draping caused all of the garments to look super elegant. 

Each and every piece looked sleek and elegant.

There may not have been in your face prints but the collection truly felt special and one of a kind. Definitely one to check out.

Thirdly there was the Proenza Schouler show. 

This show is a little bit different to the i suppose publicized fashion and I personally feel it has a very artistic spin on it. 


The collection involved strong and bold statement pieces with a kind of geometrical style in some of them. Layers also played a main feature in the show. 

Block colours and a clear colour scheme also created an impact of strength and confidence.

Next up is Phillip Lim. 

This show was also a special one.


Mixing a feminine yet slightly edgy style created a laid back confidence vibe.

The collection also hinted on a sporty vibe with a certain casualness in some of the garments. 

The very subtle hints of yellow within the collection also really made the collection feel spring ready.

Alexander Wang was obviously another big name and extraordinary show at New York Fashion week. 




















I actually personally felt that the Alexander Wang show had different vibes to normal. This kept things interesting and exciting. The style was of course Alexander Wang recognizable and familiar but it felt more innovative and different which interested me particularly.

I felt that this time there was more of a performance sportswear impact into the collection. This is of course something which Alexander Wang is known for including within the collection. However this show had an obvious display I personally felt of performance sportswear opposed to just a street style.

The show and parts of the collection also reminded me in some ways of junky styling. For example items which looked familiar to a shirt had been used as skirts. The pattern cutting was innovative and broke boundaries which created excitement also. 

There was also a noticeable amount of loose wear clothes in the collection which gave a tom boy kind of vibe to some of the clothes. 

What was also interesting was the use of mixed gender. This is something which is not perhaps often done and I found interesting to see how the collection worked with this.

DVF of course was also an amazing show too.




















The DVF show this year may not have been as well published as last year however nevertheless it still had some major garment pieces in it and of course still had the DVF style written all over it.

The collection was actually hugely designed by Jonathon Saunders. The collection was reflective of the traditional DVF style with a contemporary twist.

There were florals and prints of course paired with block colours also.The garments had a luxurious drape to them.

The collection also had emphasis on knit which is something not worked with a lot in DVF collections previously.

Another predominate show from NYFW was DKNY.


This show had a strong street style vibe to it. It is a style I am really loving at the moment.

I personally felt that the collection had a similar style to the Yeezy collection however it was more clean cut.

There was a lot of use of block bold deep and muted or striking colours.

The collection was a mixture of garments which where shaped to emphases curves on the body and also shapes which made completely loose wearing garments.

Micheal Kors was a popular show also at NYFW.


Vintage is the one thing which really came to mind after seeing this show and as you all know I do love my vintage.

The colour choices of blues, whites, pinks, oranges and greens made an interesting combination however with the prints I really think this completed the vibe of the collection.

The statement collars, sleeves and belts also evolved an impacting show.

Next up is one of my all time favourite designers at the moment. Jeremy Scott.



Jeremy is not always the most popular among-st fast fashion lovers as he is known for being innovative and experimenting with colour. However I love his collections. They have a clear creative direction and show they have been inspired which is something which really interests me.

This collection I felt had a very edgy vibe to it particularly created by the sue of black and PVC, The bright colours with this also created a punk look.

Some of the garments had a pop art style to them with graphic prints and bold colours this worked really well with the punk contrast as it created a confident and strong atmosphere.

Towards the later part of the show cartoon styles which Jeremy is more known for appeared with outlandish shapes formed by sequins. It was an amazing show and really stood out at Fashion Week for me.

Finally there is of course Rag and Bone.




















Rag and Bone have a more traditional style to them and there collection at fashion week I think was reflective of that.

There collection at NYFW I felt had a slouchy vibe to some of the garments however the pieces still had tailored look to them.

The Rag and Bone show this year also included comfy street style outfits. Yet they still had a professional workable purpose to them.

That finalizes the key shows that stood out the me at the September New York Fashion Week. I hope you enjoyed the post and thank you so much for reading!

I would also love to hear from you if you like these kind of fashion posts.

Hey guys!

I hope you are all doing super well! So I thought I would just do a kind of update kind of post for you all on here.


So I basically just wanted to talk about my YouTube channel on here. So for those of you who don’t know I have started up a YouTube channel. Now I have actually had it for a little while now but I guess I just haven’t really got around to doing a post about it on here.

So I had wanted to start up a You Tube channel for a while and as it was the summer holiday I just thought why not? What did I have to lose?

My channel is based around all things beauty, lifestyle, fashion and I guess anything really. I’m really excited to have ventured out into this as I love YouTube. But not only do I love You
Tube as those of you who know will me know I also love talking! Haha.

I don’t really want to waffle on for too long about what it is I do on there as I want to keep my blog and You Tube separate to a certain extent and I guess if you want to know more about my videos you can just watch them so I thought rather than rambling on I will leave some links below so you can have a little look at my channel if you wish.

I would also just like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has already shown me incredible amounts if support by not only liking my videos but also subscribing. It honestly does mean a lot and I am so glad I have such amazing people in my life that support me with the things that I love.

Here are some of the links to my channel and my videos-

Hey guys, 

I hope you are all doing well. Today’s post is just a short one but I couldn't resist sharing with you guys some pictures from the FSL pre launch. 


So as some of you may have seen from some of my previous blog posts Fashion Show Live held a Pre Launch Event at the University of Bedfordshire.


The launch gave people an understanding of what it is FSL do and who they are. It also was the grand reveal of the FSL promo video.


There was a champagne reception and a talk followed by a chance to network. 


 The event was a great success and everything was very professional. It really was a chance to see the big and exciting things that the future holds for FSL. 


Fashion Show Live have some amazing things coming up and what they are doing to raise awareness and help the self esteem of young people is truly inspirational. Something that can go unheard. 

If you want to know more about FSL I will leave some helpful links below.

I hope you enjoyed today's post. I will be back again very shortly!

Love Jodie x

Hey guys!

I hope you are all doing well. Today I’m back with another blog post (Obviously haha). Today’s post is about my visit to Madame Tussauds.


I went to the Madame Tussauds in London located on Baker Street the other day. It was actually my first time at Madame Tussauds and it beat all of my expectations. I mean don’t get me wrong I was excited before I went but when I was there I really was like ‘wow this is amazing’.

We had booked our tickets in advance so it firstly meant we didn’t have to queue which of course set our day off to a great start.

There were different sections in Madame Tussauds. The first section was like acting and the media, that kind of thing. I loved this part there was Posh and Becks, Leonardo DeCaprio and even Kim and Kanye!


After this section we went to the fashion interactive section where we found Kendall and Cara and even got to strut down a catwalk and show off our best poses which was a lot of fun.


We then walked through to the next section where there was the likes of Katness Everdeen from the hunger games, Shrek and even Marylyn Monroe and Aubrey Hepburn which again was amazing and called for a lot more photos!


When we were done there we moved onto the sports section where we stuck a pose with Mo Farah and Usain Bolt of course!

Now for my favourite part the pop and music section, there was Beyonce, Miley, Adele, Rihanna, One Direction, Bob Marley, Amy Whinehouse and I’m not going to lie I fangirled a bit in this section even though they were just wax works! haha.


After all my excitement in that section we moved onto the world leaders section where we got snapped outside Downing Street and with the likes of Obama and nelson Mandela.


It was now time for the Sherlock homes experience, here we went through an adventure to find Sherlock with real actors through a case which had been made up for us to solve.

After finding Sherlock we went into the marvel section where I got pictures with hulk and lots of other well known characters before entering the 4D marvel cinema experience which was so good. It really felt like you were in the film.

We then went through to the Star Wars experience; we got to take pictures with Darth Vader and even Tubaka!


It was such a lovely day and we finished it off by getting a really yummy McDonalds. It was such a great day and I would really recommend it for a day out in London.


I hope you have enjoyed this post, and thank you for reading!

Heya!

I hope you are all okay; today’s post is going to be about my visit to the Hitchin Lavender fields.


The Hitchin lavender fields are located in Hitchin (obviously). There is a whole meadow of lavender and also when I went there was also a huge patch of sunflowers and things like wild flowers.


There is also a café on site where you can sit and relax or plenty of picnic areas also if you want to bring something of your own. As well as being able to buy lavender from the shop there you can also pick your own.


For around £4 you are given a large brown bag and some cutting sheers/scissors so you can pick your lavender. There is also a trail you can follow if you don’t want to go picking and want to have a nice dog walk in the sun or something like that.


The Lavender is set out in a meadow on a slight hill and there are actually different varieties of lavender on display. It was actually sooo pretty and I really loved it!



After walking through the lavender and taking a lot of pictures we went over to see the sunflowers. They were huge! They were so pretty and I brought one to take home for 50p which is now sitting pride of place in a vase of water in our kitchen.


After having a walk through the fields it was time to find some shade and have our picnic. We had a browse in the shop before heading home.


It was a lovely day and a great activity for the summer. I hope you enjoyed reading about it!

Thank you

Hey guys!

I hope you are all doing super well! Today’s post is going to be all about my trip to Sketch.

As part of my 18th birthday present I chose to go to Sketch with my family. Sketch is a restaurant in London with various different rooms which have different themes. These themes are displayed through both the decoration and food.


I chose to have afternoon tea at sketch in what I call the ‘pink room’ but I think it is actually known as the gallery.



The room was decorated by a commissioned artist and it was so just the prettiest thing ever. I loved it!


The afternoon tea consisted of sandwiches scones and cakes and there was plenty of it to say the least, I also had the nicest green tea infused with orange flavouring. It was also all really, really tasty, which for a fussy eater like me was very surprising.



Not only was the décor of the gallery room where we had our afternoon tea incredible but the toilets where set out in pods which created a whole other experience, haha.



After having our afternoon tea at sketch we then went for a wonder around some of the nearby shops which was very nice also.



For the day I wore my house of Holland tartan dress which I absolutely love! I paired this with my light pink Zara leather jacket which I got for my birthday along with my Alexander sunglasses and Stella McCartney clutch which I also very kindly got for birthday. I then wore some black chunky heels to complete the look.


I had a really lovely day and was a great way to end my 18th birthday celebrations. I hope you have enjoyed today’s post and thank you once again for having a read!

Hey guys!

I hope you are all doing well! So I recently had my 18th birthday. Well I guess not that recently now as I am a bit late writing this post oops! Anyway I thought I would share with you guys what I did on my birthday so that’s what this post is going to be about.


So on my actual birthday we went to London. Now as most of you may know I have a twin brother. So we were both celebrating. For his choice we went to the hard rock café, which is somewhere I also love so it worked out very well. It is also where we went for our 13th birthday so it was quiet nice to come back for another one of our special birthdays.

At the Hard Rock Café I had my first legal drink. I chose a really tasty cocktail with an orange fruity taste. For my meal I had macaroni and cheese which was also very nice! We then all shared a chocolate brownie and ice cream for dessert as the portions at the Hard Rock Café are huge!



Once we had finished our meal we went for a tour around the Hard Rock Café basement where we got to see lots of iconic memorabilia from the music industry. This was also very cool.




After we were finished at the Hard Rock Café we just went for a wonder around London and visited a few of the shops.




I also thought I would share with you guys my outfit for my birthday.


I wore my black floral bright printed dress which I really love and actually picked up in the sale. I paired this with my black Primark heeled boots which have lasted me over two years now and are still going strong even after them only costing £15. I also wore my brand new Vivienne Westwood bag which I got for my birthday and made everything feel that little bit more special. As well as this I wore my burgundy Alexander McQueen sunglasses which I also got for my birthday and where perfect for the very sunny weather.


I had a very lovely day and am very thankful for it. I hope you guys enjoyed reading about what I got up to.

Thank you
