H&M Archives - Just Jodi Style

Happy final Friday of 2016!!! I got up today really early to go to the final day of Carnegie Deli in New York City. Only waited a little over an hour to get seated, but it was well worth the wait. After leaving Carnegie my brother and I walked off our meal and if you haven’t found your New Year’s Eve outfit do not worry. We passed by Zara, H & M, Club Monaco and even Bloomingdales and there are so many good sales going on. A lot of the items may be items that customers returned from the holidays, but their loss is your gain! I personally bought on cyber Monday my outfit from Bloomingdales and when I went in their store they had similar options for a fraction of the price. One of the major trends that everyone wears for New Year’s Eve is anything metallic or sequins. However, this year a major trend that we saw this season is now something that I know I will see everyone wear New Years including myself…VELVET! I personally always buy something for New Year’s Eve that I know I could wear again for a different occasion. If you are going to buy sequins or any metallic stick to the metallics colors of silver, gold, chrome or even rose gold. These are colors you can wear to a cocktail or black tie wedding or even just a fancy party. You never know! If you are shopping velvet I personally got a velvet outfit for New Years that is a burgundy color and I am obsessed with it!!! If you are buying velvet I say the only color I would avoid are lighter velvet colors. The lighter velvet color outfits tend to show lint and dirt faster. I hope everyone is all ready for New Year’s Eve tomorrow I know that Stella and I are. Happy Friday!!!

It’s Friday so it’s time for some Steals and Deals! Summer may be over, but it is still feels like it here in NYC. I am hoping that the cold weather comes soon. So, I am not a big belt person. I have not worn one since middle school when it was required to wear a belt every day to school because of our strict uniform guidelines. Ever since I have been eating healthier and working out more I have lost a great deal of weight, but from past experience I know that you have to wait at least a few months to see your body stabilize. I am finally starting to see that and just starting to really tone my muscles. I didn’t want to buy all new shorts this summer so instead I went to H&M and got two belts (one black and one brown) to help my shorts from falling down. If I told you this belt was less than $10 would you all believe me? Well it’s true! It looks like genuine leather, but it isn’t and I love how the buckle in some lightings looks like a rose gold finishing! I do have nicer belts than these that are genuine leather, but when it comes to being outside all summer and sweating, you don’t need to be wearing your good nice belts to the park on a Saturday afternoon. No one would even know this belt was from H&M unless I told them. So if you need a belt that is just to add something to your outfit or if you aren’t sure you want to make an investment in that beautiful Italian leather belt you saw at the department store, get some amazing quality belts at H&M. These can also help you test out a bunch of styles that you may be thinking about buying. These belts are also great for traveling because if you lose one it’s not hard or expensive to replace it with a new one.
