Just Jodi Style

Transform Your Bedroom With The Perfect Bedding

February 16, 2017

Happy Thursday! Sorry that there was no hump day treat recipe yesterday. I have been working on some great new content for Just Jodi Style. I am also leaving this weekend to watch my best friend marry the love of her life in Arizona so been trying to get everything ready for that. Recently I wanted to redo my bedroom here in New York and give it a whole new vibe. There are many things that you can do to change your bedroom on a budget, but the first thing you can do is to change your bedding. The bedding I was using was the one that I had senior year of college and don’t get me wrong it’s amazing bedding and I still have it for when guests stay over, but I wanted something different. I searched for months and months and found this amazing Vera Wang bedding that was sold in Bloomingdales, Bed Bath & Beyond and even Macys. It was interesting to me that different stores had different throw pillow options with the bedding. Some had more and some had less. I love a good throw pillow, but I didn’t want to overflow my bed with pillows especially since I have a furry companion in my bed named Stella who just loves to bury her bones in my bed anywhere she can. When looking for a new duvet the one thing I wanted was to make sure it was mostly cotton. I wanted it to be able to breathe especially during the summer months in New York City. The great thing about my last duvet was it was machine washable, however that is very rare with duvets. I personally like duvets that are either solid or with very minimum pattern on them. Don’t just buy a duvet right when you see it check the other stores like I did that carry the same bedding to check what other items they carry and also for pricing difference. We all know with President’s Day weekend coming up a lot of retailers will be putting bedding on sale. Check out the Vera Wang bedding collection at Bloomingdales now and see some of their amazing home collection before it’s all gone.

Happy Saturday Everyone! Now, when you have worn those black pair of jeans for the 50th time this season you ask yourself “is there another option tonight other than wearing another pair of black jeans?” The answer is: yes, there is! A lot of designers over the past few years have started to make leather pants or faux leather pants for those of us that don’t want to spend an arm and a leg on them. The pair that I am wearing is from Paige denim and the front of the leggings are leather and the back are a stretchy thick legging material. For me every time I think of full leather pants I think of that episode of Friends where Ross decides to purchase a pair and then can’t get them back on during his date with a girl. That is literally my worst nightmare, but these have the best of both worlds. They have the comfort of a legging but then they have the edgy look of leather on top of it. These are a few years old, but there are other designers that have made similar pairs recently. If you are interested in getting a pair of leather leggings here are my suggestions. If you don’t want it to look like leggings, opt for a pair that at the waist they have belt loops to make it look like they are leather pants. Second, if you are going for a faux pair try them on in store or just find them in the store even if you know your size. Some faux leather leggings are great price wise and may look great pictured online from the different online retailers, however, when you get them in the store or in the mail if you are ordering online they don’t have the same shine to them as you thought. I personally bought a pair from Amazon recently and when I got them in the mail they looked almost identical to the shiny pair of leggings that I purchased in the past from American Apparel, but the pair from American Apparel were double the price! Thankfully the pair I purchased was returnable, but I have had so many friends that purchased pairs from the fast fashion website like Gilt and Ruelala and they were not returnable so now they are sadly stuck with them. Remember also, if it is a legging it will be more comfortable to wear in general because leather pants don’t have much give in them so if they are tight on you now then they will continue to be tight on you forever. Check out these retailers for some of their selection of leather leggings.

Steals & Deals: Columbus Day Sales

October 7, 2016

columbusdaysales-1

Happy Columbus Day weekend everybody! When it comes to holiday weekends, we know that this is the time for major department stores to load up on sales before the upcoming season. They all want to get rid of the old merchandise from summer in order to make room for all the new goodies for fall!  We all have seen the endless amounts of Macy’s commercials for their Columbus Day weekend savings and personally I always check department store’s out first. I always want to see what is on sale in all the major department stores before I go anywhere else because they usually have the greatest savings for me. The other big ticket items that all of the message boards have been saying are good buys for this holiday weekend, are electronics and appliances. The reason why everyone is saying electronics are the best buy this holiday weekend is so that all of us can get a jump start on our holiday shopping. Yes a jumpstart on holiday shopping when it is barely even October! This is something I know that I have a seen a lot of people do in the past and just store away gifts for the future. Staples has some great ticket items including laptops and printers at over 30% off on their website now. Another great place to shop this weekend for electronics is Best Buy. They are having great deals on their televisions and also on their appliances such as washer dryers. My family last year got a great washer and dryer from Home Depot during Columbus Day weekend, but my suggestion to everyone is do your research first. A lot of these large retailers like Sears, Home Depot, Best Buy and Staples will do some price matching on specific items. It is worth making a list from all the different sites and also seeing if you maybe order your item online it may be cheaper than going to the store and picking it up in person. Hope you all have a great holiday weekend and for those, like myself, that are currently in Florida stay safe from Hurricane Mathew <3

The Strappy Sandal: Fendi

September 26, 2016

When looking for strappy sandals I have always had a tough time finding a pair in beige. These Fendi strappy sandals I bought back in college during a huge blowout sale at Saks Fifth Avenue and since then I haven’t found a pair like them. They are so comfortable that I have worn them for over 6 hours straight before and had not had one single blister or anything! The trick with strappy sandals is to make sure the straps aren’t rubbing up against the skin of your foot in places that could cause blisters or irritation. One thing I always do the first time I wear strappy sandals is put on blister band aids on my baby toes, just as a precaution. This is beneficial especially when you go out. Even though no one will say it your feet do sweat and that is the number one thing that can cause you to get blisters. Make sure though that after you wear your shoes that you clean out the inside of your shoe to make sure no moisture is left from your evening.  If you are looking for a great pair of beige strappy sandals here are a few things I would look for: #1 color – you want to make sure the color is not too light of a beige but not too dark to be mistaken as brown #2 you want it to have a little bit of a platform in front, if it doesn’t then make sure that it has a good arch because if the heel height is too much then if it has no arch your feet will kill you by the end of the night and #3 invest in a pair that you can wear from season to season especially if you think you will wear them again.

Here are some great options for strappy sandals from some retailers:
