The struggle for a title continues to be very real, no matter how long I continue this blogging shenanigans. If any of you have been here since the start, you will know I can never produce a normal title; one of my loveable quirks I suppose eh? I believe the last blogging return post title was in the form of a well known Eminem lyric, I’ll let you figure that one out yourself. Regardless, here I am, back again in word form! Pleased to see me?
Hello lovely people of the interweb! I hope you are all doing well and are feeling peckish for some across-the-screen-shopping! I must admit that I myself have been very naughty this month in the clothing department, buying absolutely everything that catches my eye for more than two seconds. This is good in a way as I am rediscovering my love of all things fashion, but I must say that my bank account ain’t too happy about it… Regardless, I’m happy so hey ho – lets see a few things I picked up shall we?
Hello there everybody! Another day, another outfit. This one is one which I wore on my boyfriend and I’s 2 year anniversary; how time flies! Anyway, I’m not going to lie to you, I felt quite ‘fly’ and so I simply had to show you. Can you tell that I really do struggle with what to name each OOTD? I’m being completely and utterly genuinely when I state that ‘BROWN BITS’ is the best I could come up with. Let’s swiftly move past that and get into the outfit…
Shoes. Everyone loves shoes! Right? Wrong. I used to hate shoes, or rather could never afford nice shoes. I was the girl who had 3 pairs of white, grey and black Primark plimsoles and that was me for two years. However, thankfully as I have grown older I have slowly accumulated a rather nice ‘capsule’ collection of shoes I can pull out for any occasion. Of course, I haven’t included my few pairs of heels and such because frankly, I very rarely wear them! These are the shoes I get cracking use out of, hopefully it gives you a wee bit of shoe-spiration.
Can you tell from the title that I’m rusty on this blogging ‘shpeel’? Well I’m going to be getting the oil out on regular occasions from now on to try and loosen things up and get myself back on that wonderful blogging band waggon. I used to absolutely cherish my blog back in its hay day; my life has changed one hell of a lot since then, but I want my blog to return as my one happy constant – So I am back, how are yi?
Hell chums! I’m returning to the humble OOTD post as a tribute to London Fashion Week, which is happening as you read! This look was one which I wore on my trip to London last week (feel free to watch my vlog here!) and the pictures were taken in the very trendy hotspot – Brick Lane!
Boyfriend Coat – New Look
Skirt – Topshop
Plimsoles – H&M
I must say, I absolutely adored this look. Whenever I visit London I feel like I can experiment slightly more with my outfits, and I pair things that I wouldn’t have the guts to in everyday life. For example, I had never worn this coat with a skirt before this day, and now it’s my favourite way to wear it! It shows that it’s worth just taking a leap and throwing some things together and just giving it a go – you never know what you might conjure up.
Ribbed Jumper – F&F
Necklace – My Grandma (aka not for sale, sorry!)
Bag – George
Please excuse my face in this one, it was just a good one to show off the details of the outfit – forget the face! It’s all actually extremely basic, but that’s what I like about it as I feel despite the plain-ness of each individual piece; the outfit as a whole flows very well.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

Well hello there my fashion forward friends, well I hope you are somewhat fashion forward in any case, as I have an outfit post to wet your whistle today! It’s party season, and in my case, birthday season. I’m in the year of the big eighteens, and that means nights out for days. Like almost every girl out there, we hit Missguided and Boohoo etc. for our party-time attire, but I have also added Boutique Of Molly to that list and I strongly suggest you do too, because it’s truly brilliant.
It has some very well-priced goods of the upmost quality; for example, today I have the absolute perfect ‘knock ’em dead’ navy dress with a slightly saucy edge. This midi dress is super duper flattering and the low cut neckline, something abit daring for me at least, is actually an exciting change. The black pleather waistline is also a glamorous way to break up the floral raised pattern.
I’ve never been big on the navy life, but this dress is a nice change from my eternal doom of black on black on abit more black. It’s also more of a blue/purple than slightly boring navy, so no worries really on that front.
I’d really recommend this dress as it’s universally likeable, with some rather lovely little hints of edge and sauciness..is that a word? Let’s roll with it.
I also have a discount code for 20% off all Boutique Of Molly purchases using: JOLIE123, so hop on over and have a look if anything takes your fancy! I must admit I definitely have my eye on almost all of their new winter stock!
Hope you’re having a good Friday!

ps. A peak at the behind the scenes action of blogging life, the struggles of winter photoshoots – am I right fellow bloggers?
Hello my friends! No, I did not die, I am sorry if it looked that way. Blogging is a wonderful thing, and when I’m on it, I’m on it. But as with life, there’s highs and lows, and I have just been off my blogging game. I didn’t blog over my holiday, and then managed to develop a fear of my returning post, had I left it too long? Have people forgotten me? Do my readers even care?
Well, I’ve decided the only way to come back, is to come back and grovel. I’m sorry everyone, please forgive me, but Just Jolie is back and here to stay! Now on with the post and on with the good times!
It’s a very sad thought to think that this time last week, I was lounging by a pool in Bulgaria baking under the scorching sun; compared with today’s harsh reality of me sitting in my onesie sheltering in bed and writing this post. My point is that I went on holiday, and with holiday comes some lovely outfits, which I will be sharing with you, so carry on reading!
Quick side note: It may seem like my entire wardrobe is from Primark, but the truth is I just don’t feel a need to spend a lot of money on holiday clothes as I tend to cover up more in the UK, so don’t get much wear out of anything. Primark is the place to go and get a bargain, so my holiday wardrobe is mainly bought there!
Playsuit – Primark / Sandals – Next
This little playsuit caught my eye as I noticed the floaty overlay and thought it looked like a very flattering shape. The spaghetti straps also attracted me as in warmth as little material as possible is for the best. I could also go bra-less, which any girl will agree is a big bonus when it comes to the terror of putting a bra on to sunburnt skin – just ow.
Swing Dress – Missguided / Sandals – Next
I absolutely love this swing dress, in fact I was a massive white dress fan this summer as a whole. They just look so beautiful yet so effortless, a combo any girl wouldn’t refuse. The sleeves are something a bit different, and they itch like a b****, but they made me feel like I had wings, so who’s the real winner here? You can tell I stuck to baggy/floaty things, as I literally can’t survive the warmth in anything remotely body con – just a tip.
Jumpsuit – Primark / Flatform Sliders – Primark
This outfit may well have been my favourite. It was extremely simple, despite the complex pattern, this meant that I kept the outfit minimal to the max, and to great effect I would hope. My shoes were such good quality, for the humble price of £6 despite quality estimated price of (in my opinion) around £20; I’d heavily recommend Primark for cheap, trendy shoes.
Dress – Primark / Flip Flops – Hollister
This dress is so simple, but i thought it was just worth mentioning due to the unbelievable fact that this dress was £2. Did you read that right? YES. £2. I know, it’s completely crazy, but these little gems are lurking all over the Primark floor, you just need to be willing to search for them.
And they, were some of my favourite outfits from my holiday! Comment below your favourite!
