Getting Ready to ROME

Getting Ready to ROME

So, it's that time of year again... Holiday time!!

And this year I'm going to ROME ...I know, I know it's terribly exciting!

With only 49 days to go til I fly out I figured it's about time I start planning my holiday wardrobe, after all the Italians are known for impeccable style and I wouldn't want to let us Brits down.

Feeling inspired by this old family photograph taken of my other and I on holiday when I was a child I have decided that this year's holiday must-have is a wide brimmed hat!

Luckily for me my mother still owns this exact hat, so I'll more than likely be taking it along with me... but I've still got to keep my options open, yes? So here's my selection of my fav hats available to buy on the High Street at the moment. Who knows maybe you'll be taking one abroad too?

100 Years of Grattan

100 Years of Grattan

F0llowing on from my first modelling post I thought I'd continue with a little look at the latest job I did for Grattan catalogue. Having been around for 100 years this month the company decided to put on a celebratory 'Through the Ages' Catwalk featuring classic Grattan outfits from each decade right up to a futuristic look...

...I was to be featured in the 60's & future.

The clothes were put together by Bradford College Fashion students and were overseen by Grattan to ensure they were of the best quality, and I was very impressed with the pieces and particularly how well they were put together!

(excuse the slightly blurry photos ...they were taken in a rush in between changes)

Keep your eyes peeled for more modelling posts!

What Jodie Wore

What Jodie Wore

I have now decided that along with keeping you lovely readers updated with the latest in Fashion and my world of Style, I'd also start to do the occasional post on my modelling world too...

So, to fit in with this new section I thought what better place to start than with a What Jodie Wore to my most recent Catwalk rehearsal. Dressing for castings/rehearsals is always a tricky one for me as I like to try and combine comfort & convenience whilst keeping my style & personality....

In this particular outfit I kept it simple with my favourite midi dress; showing enough of my figure whilst remaining comfortable and teaming it up with a pair of lace up suede boots (my added touch of style). It's important to get an equal balance of the two as clients like to A) see your face & shape clearly and B) get an idea of your personality...

Midi Dress: Topshop

Suede Boots: Topshop Boutique

Bracelet: Pandora

Oversized Cardigan: Topshop

Paris Couture Fashion Week 2013

Paris Couture Fashion Week 2013

So, as most of you may be aware this week is the much anticipated Haute Couture 2013 Fashion Week held in Paris, France. All the big players in the world of Fashion have been there showing us exactly what they're made of and I have personally been blown away!

Here I decided to show my favourite collection from each day right up to Wednesday...

...and it all kicked off on Sunday 1st July with Versace... boy did this collection set the bar high...

The collection featured a mixture of elegant evening gowns and super sexy mini dressed all in pastel hues. The mesh panels allowed just the right amount of skin on show along with the thigh high slits in the longer gowns and the printed fabrics were simply fabulous!

Day 2

Christian Dior was an altogether different affair... One of my favourite of the week it featured a little bit of everything I love in fashion... midi hem lines, peplum tops, slick tailoring, mesh panels, strapless dresses and the ever so retro choker necklace... all of this whilst remaining ever so sophisticated.

My all together favourite pieces were a selection of 3; the fairy-tale dress starting with a lilac floral detail in the skirt working its way up to bright white, the yellow mesh top, floor length evening gown & the red Grecian style maxi dress... all of them Breath-taking!

Day 3

Givenchy again completely changed things up with a 60's, Italian gypsy inspired collection. The colours remained neutral and understated and the cuts of the pieces for me had an almost futuristic oriental feel. Everything remained modest and floor length and it was an altogether quite earthy collection...

Day 4

Valentio again had a feel of the 60's however this time very different to Givenchy. Sweet mini dresses and sophisticated maxi's had a mixture of neon pop art colours and neutral tones, and the embroidery was simply stunning! The hints of lace and animal print added another dimension to the collection and the tailored suits made it so that there really was something for everyone...
