Seeing Double

Seeing Double

So, something I'm really into this week is Denim! Double denim has one of those rules in fashion where by the boundaries are blurred... some people say its wrong! Double denim is a no, no! ...but then, there's those people who challenge this and create collections featuring the trend... and I must say I am definitely a DD believer!

Mother knows best...

I think it was when I found these old photographs of my younger brother and I that I realised ...this is why I LOVE double denim!
...sometimes it just works.

These s/s 2012 collections are living proof that double denim can work...

Genetic Denim





With this collection I love the fact that all the denim remains the same, it's dark and unbleached and isn't afraid to make the full Double Denim statement.

Blank NYC
This collection focuses more on combining different types of denim in each outfit; using coloured skinny's with denim shirts and combining different bleached denims... its still double denim, just less in your face!

When braving the DD look it's all about one of two things:

-If you're super confident go for the matching double denim! Team up jeans & jackets, shirts & skirts in the same matching denim colour. Be bold and make a true fashion statement.

-However, if you're slightly more reserved go for the not-so-obvious DD look, team up coloured skinnys with a blue denim shirt or mix & match different bleached denims to stay bang on trend and in your comfort zone.

Have fun experimenting!

J'adore le cirque

J'adore le cirque
So, as a personal project I've been planning a circus themed editorial shoot. Not the regular 'happy go lucky' kind of shoot though, but a more melancholy, moody circus shoot!

I've always wanted to do a shoot around this theme but I felt particularly inspired when I came across these stunning images 'Saltare in Banco' by Pierre Manning...






So with the inspiration flooding my way I put together a plan for a shoot... photographer: check, mua: check and model: check!

And styling wise here's a little sneak peek at what I have planned...


Keep your eyes peeled for more updates & prep on the shoot!

Festival Fever

Festival Fever
I am so jealous that I've not had the opportunity to go to Coachella this year ...actually gutted! But that doesn't mean to say I haven't been keeping up with all the latest gossip and style pics. With the first weekend over and the second starting today I have well and truely caught festival fever!

Here are a few festival goers that really caught my eye at refinery29.com...








It seems people have really taken on a true hippy form; wearing cut off shorts and wide brim hats... and the latest floral trend is most definately a strong contender.

If all this festival talk has put you in the mood then (in true Jodie style) I have put together my favorite festival outfit. All available to buy on the great British high street...


American Apparel Wool floppy hat
£39


Topshop Bird Print Pyjama Jacket
£40

H&M Fringed top
£7.99
Urban Outfitters Destroyed denim shorts
£32

American Apparel Girly Lace Ankle Sock

All Saints Bonny Cuban boot
£165

Also, why not take a look at my latest creation from TFN, who knows you might find some great bargins!
