Much Ado About the Up Do

Much Ado About the Up Do

So, you may have noticed that recently there has been a lack of 'What Jodie Wore' posts... this is due to the fact that I've had a slight (massive) hair cut! It was one of those instances that usually happens at the hair dressers (give them an inch they'll take a mile) and as usual I ended up leaving the salon with about 3 inches less hair than I had planned. Infact it's so short now that I can no longer get it in a ponytail...

Feeling very nostalgic towards the updo I have decided to dedicate this blog post to my favorite 10 Up Do's from the Spring/Summer 2012 catwalks...

Donna Karan

David Koma

Ralf Lauren

Chanel

3.1 Phillip Lim

Louis Vuitton

Yves Saint Laurent

Diesel Black Gold

BCBG

Giorgio Armani

If you're anything like me you're probably feeling very inspired to try some new funky updo's in your lucious long hair! I on the other hand shall be waiting until my hair grows again... and when it does I will deffo be investing in some fun hair accessories!

Have fun styling, and feel free to dedicate a ponytail to me!
(pics of the new hair shall be up soon)

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!

much love
