JodieBowie : My STYLE ICONS! (People Who Influence My Style)

I thought this might be a cheeky and fun blog to post! I may even make it into a video, who knows! This style is pretty much music related as well, because bands and music really do influence every single part of my life… even fashion.
I’ve noticed recently that quite a few people are sort of adopting pieces of my style – which is totally cool! But I thought it would be interesting to see where I get my own influences from. See if it surprises any of you 😉

Disclaimer : A lot of guys actually voted for me to post this blog, which I am totally loving, because this blog is probably going to be more for your benefit than anyone else’s…

Before I dive in, I’m just going to be blatantly honest and say that I’ve never been a girly girl. Girls ideals have never really appealed to me, so if you’re here thinking your going to find some awesome new girls to follow on TikTok… you’ve come to the wrong chick.

I wear an awful lot of mens clothes, and I do often shop in the mens sections in stores. I just love the alternative ranges they have, and I’m hugely influenced by feminine males. There is just something about a guy in eyeliner that makes the heart race, you know?
I’ve been taking influences from rockstars since I was 7 years old, so it’s no surprise it has followed me through life. I’d probably wear a suit to my own wedding!

Luke Spiller of The Struts

Luke Spiller – The Struts
Luke is incredibly glam, and his style changes rather often (much like my own). He is very much a chameleon, just like the likes of David Bowie. The thing about Luke Spiller is, he combines all the best rockstars into one person i.e; David Bowie, Marc Bolan, Joan Jett, Freddie Mercury and Mick Jagger. I’ve tried to copy his outfits a few times now, and I always feels so confident about my image when I do. I think I am probably going to model myself on this guy the most just because if I was a dude, I’d look like him 100%.
I’ve noticed that lately he has started wearing suits, and I am absolutely living for this – because I myself am experimenting with this look!
I absolutely love how he plays with the androgynous look and combines all of his favourite musicians into one style, which is something I try and do as well – take small influences from each person until you come up with your own style.
My two Luke Spiller outfits are inspired by the “Strange Days” and “Low Key” music videos.

Tyler Bryant

Tyler Bryant – Tyler Bryant and The Shakedown
Hair goals! Why do guys always have so much nicer hair than women?! I’ve been a big fan of Tyler Bryant’s style for a few years now – I just love his hair, one of the reasons I dyed mine black back in 2017, and I love his rock ‘n’ roll rockstar look! It’s just so simple yet sleek. The whole black bouncy hair, black leather jacket and black skinny jeans is totally my vibe! Everytime I listen to his music it makes me want to dye my hair black and get loads of layers cut in… which I am debating you know. I’ve been thinking red, but my heart is saying “dye it black again, do it, dye it black” – you rockers are bad influences! I’m never going to be seen with girly hair in dresses at this rate haha.
The Treatment are also a band who rock a very similar vibe in terms of style/image.
I’m pretty sure he rocks the no makeup look as well, which only adds to his masculinity (even though I do think guyliner should be a staple for most guys aha), and just proves how effortless his style is… roll out of bed, shake your hair, put on a leather jacket, done. When I feel like looking extra badass or sexy, I always go for the Tyler Bryant kind of vibe.

Josh Todd of Buckcherry

Josh Todd – Buckcherry
Hot damn! If I could walk around in just jeans and a leather jacket I totally would… but unfortunately, I have bits and pieces that sort of need covering up so they don’t offend the general public. Maybe one day I’ll just leave the house in some saucy piece from Ann Summers and a leather jacket and channel my Josh Todd vibes – he is another person who makes me want to look sexy and badass! Like I want to be noticed! This is why I’m not really girly. I look at blokes and think “corr, I wish I looked like that“.
I am obsessed with Josh Todd’s accessories… i.e his jewellery. That big silver handcuff chain necklace everyone keeps asking me about? Inspired by Josh Todd. I wish I could be as tattooed as him as well, he is just a walking talking piece of art really isn’t he. Look at his cool Rockstar mystique! If only I could look exactly like that!
For the time being I’ll just have to make do with pinching his awesome accessories… like his sunglasses, necklaces, rings and belts.

Jeffree Star

Jeffree Star – Jeffree Star Cosmetics
I guess this might seem like an odd style icon to some of you, seeing as Jeffree is a lot more girly than all the other people on this list. Well, what I like most about Jeffree is the GLAM! I love the effortless blend of his eye makeup looks, and how he just pulls off the colour pink and is just always so classy. I’d love to be classy, but I’m just too masculine and have zero confidence to pull it off. All the makeup I use is Jeffree Star Cosmetics (not here for hate, I’m not fussed if you don’t like or support him) I love all his formulas. As much as I’d love to roll out of bed and look how I want, that isn’t possible, I do need the power of makeup to help me out and I’m still experimenting with how I want my makeup to look – I change my makeup looks on the daily, and that’s something quite cool because you never have to look the same again, you can wipe it off and look totally different the next day; I am really enjoying getting back into playing with colours, eyeliner, contour etc again. I try and do my makeup looks as similar as I can to Jeffree’s, because they are just so damn pretty and I’m a sucker for pretty glam eye looks with lashes… I’m also obsessed with contour. Contour queens in the house!
I feel like my inner Jeffree likes to experiment with colour as well. Jeffree is my girly side coming out, otherwise I’d genuinely wear black all the time. Sometimes there’s a pop of colour in my wardrobe and it’s never subtle. It’s either black or RED or PINK or YELLOW!

Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes

Chris Robinson – The Black Crowes
This is where the obsession with flares came from. I discovered The Black Crowes last summer when I was going through a bit of a rough patch, and fell in love with Chris Robinson’s Mick Jagger/70’s vibes and instantly knew I had to take a few bits of his fashion style. Mainly the flares. I think I really look good in flares, you know? They hug my figure in all the right places and make my legs look pretty sleek.
The thing about the 70’s look is that it’s suitable for a lot of weather types and it’s sort of acceptable to wear all year round. Flares will never not look cool. Glitter, sparkles, faux fur, going for a walk, out for dinner, to a pub or going to a gig… you just can’t really go wrong can you? Plus it gives you the perfect opportunity to stand out a little bit, because not a lot of girls these days go down the 70’s route. This era has always been one that looks bloody good on me though… often get a few looks in this style.

Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman

Patrick Bateman – American Psycho
A fictional character? A fictional psychopath? Really Jodes? YES! Absolutely! Again, I love the subtle class. This is where my love of suits came in. I’ve always wanted to be able to pull off a look in a suit and I just never had the confidence. One day I decided to scratch my itch and bought myself a few suits and realised I didn’t look too bad! I feel like 25 year old Jodie wants to embrace more class, sophistication and strong independent woman vibes…. I’ve done the whole 80’s rocker thing, and as much as I love it, I feel I’m fading away from that era slightly these days.
Another little nod I like to give to Patrick Bateman is wearing human teeth as jewellery. If you’ve seen me out and about before, I’m sure you would’ve noticed I have some suspicious looking ‘pearl’ earrings and a matching necklace… yeah, they are in fact teeth… and I just really really like them. I guess you’ve got to be pretty brave to wear such objects?

Maybe this blog has inspired someone? Maybe change up their style a bit? I’m still struggling myself, I’ve no idea what I want to look like but I think I am getting there slowly and I’m gradually getting more confident!
Image is something we can all experiment with. Fashion is something that helps us to express our personality to the outside world. Besides… being normal is boring!!
Who wants to look like everyone else, when you can stand out ❤

(I bet you all expected to see Mick Jagger, David Bowie and Nikki Sixx on the list didn’t ya)

Top 5 Songs of July

Heeeeeyy, we’re back, back at again! I’m bloody loving summer!! Please can we have this glorious weather never end ❤ 
Click here to read my previous Top 5 Songs of June. 

Remember there is a YouTube playlist which includes all these wonderful songs from each month, and also a Spotify playlist which you can find via searching for ‘jodieharris15‘.

Foo-Fighters-012-825x510

ALL MY LIFE – FOO FIGHTERS
“I love it but I hate the taste, weight keeping me down…”

We all need some Grohl in our lives.
Sometimes we need to just shout lyrics at the top of our lungs and get all that angst out. This is such a tune to do that. Have to admit, I did feel like an absolute rockstar when this song came on during a drive back from Birmingham in a convertible!
This is probably the heaviest song on this list; it’s a classic Foo Fighters but if you’re looking to get into heavier stuff, perhaps start here? I’ve no idea haha!!

5a86d404bd97c

COLD HEART – TYLER BRYANT & THE SHAKEDOWN
“She could tell that I was dreaming, I was scheming how to get her with me…” 

Gosh, I wish I was Tyler Bryant SO BAD!! I know there’s a lot of Tyler Bryant on this playlist now but, I’m enjoying it – I can’t help that he writes incredibly addictive music. Doesn’t help the fact he’s also talented and gorgeous ❤
This little banger is sex on legs… makes me do things with my hips that I didn’t even know that I could do. I never tire of this tune, as soon as it comes on I have to stop what I’m doing and dance – even in public! I hope it gives you the same feeling as it does me. 36913441_843888042466522_6936360389059805184_n

SURVIVE – MASON HILL 
“Try to shut me down, but I’ll go on and on and on and on and on…” 

Mason Hill are one of my fave new bands. They’re a band that I listen to, and just think “TALENT!”. I love that vibe from bands. It’s very relatable to me at this current moment in time; it’s a song I’d like to send to a lot of people and be like “hey, you hurt me.. but I will survive”, but it’s also a song I’d play to myself because no matter how many times I do get shot down, I always get back up again – and what better tune to have that connection with, than an absolute gem written by an incredible band.

james-bay (1)

WANDERLUST – JAMES BAY
“‘I just want to be in the light, be in the light that surrounds you…” 

I used to listen to James Bay a lot after the night of 14th Feb 2017.
Anyway, before I get sentimental…. sometimes one just needs a little “Bay” in ones life. I’ve had a bit of a big ass reality fish slap in the face, and it hurts. For now at least, I have some amazing memories I can look back on when listening to James Bay. This tune is just making me very happy, chilled, calm etc at the moment and I seriously need emotions like that in my life right now. It’s a totally gorgeous song, that makes me feel so beautiful and puts a genuine smile on my face, I love it! ❤

band_stop_stop-750x500 (1)

HARD ROAD – STOP, STOP!
“All that wish is getting closer now, so you don’t think that it’s over and over…”

I went to see the boys play in Birmingham at the beginning of the month – I’ve not seen them for 8 months; which is a kind of big deal because last year I was seeing them at least twice a month!!
Anyway, when they played this song, Jacob looked at me directly when singing the line “you’ve got to trust in who you are, stand up and get it“… and it just meant a lot to me.
It was something I really needed to hear, from someone I really look up to.
It was lovely to hang out with the mofos again – so many people say “you hang out with such motley crews”, like YES.. we are, but we’re also a little family and one that is there for each other.

SSSHHHH……… I’M ADDING AN EXTRA!!!! SSSHHHH

SHOT AT REDEMPTION – H.E.A.T
“I’ve been strucked out, lying on the crowd with the bitter taste of loving in my mouth…”

This is such a chant!! This is totally my revival song. My “I’m going to rebuild myself and come back a better & stronger person!”. I really am going to pick myself up, dust myself off and get back out there… but in a new way. A new Jodie.
So, next time you see me… imagine this song playing in the background 😉

I hope you have enjoyed this blog, there’s been some proper tasty tunes this month! Please do stalk me on social media – I’m making a lot of cocktails this summer, so you might wanna watch me screw up measurements 😉 I’ve also got 2 new Rock Nights I’m almost ready to announce… eeeekkk!!!

Top 5 Songs – March 2018

My music taste is so diverse and changes so regularly, that I thought it would be sort of interesting to start a blog series where I talk about particular songs I love each month. My tastes in bands rarely change, I will listen to the same 3 or 4 every month etc… but songs…. that changes A LOT! So, here’s a little blog of songs I have on loop at the moment ❤ 

1a740cd7a081989bad69794608c716f5.png

BACKFIRE – TYLER BRYANT & THE SHAKEDOWN
“What goes around comes around like a boomerang…”

Well well well…. this song is just so friggin’ SEXY! It is so BAD ASS! The way the bass, guitar & drums work together on this track is just to the point and hard hitting. This tune, is my “get me more confident” tune. I put on my best clothes, do my makeup and I feel like a Queen. Music should make you feel something. This song definitely makes me feel something.

59C00103-marco-mendoza-signs-worldwide-record-deal-with-mighty-music-image

SWEETEST EMOTIONS – MARCO MENDOZA
“There’s nothing else I could do, to keep my eyes set on you…”

I’m choosing this one over ‘Viva La Rock’ just because I personally feel that there is a little more too it. Viva La Rock was a little too basic in my opinion; however this track is so happy and warm… like, I can imagine blasting this with the roof down whilst driving along the beach. Marco has nailed this song lyrically – I’m not overly sure on the brass section in the chorus… but it does add another dimension. He’s really upped his game with this, if you’ve not ever listened to any of Mendoza’s solo stuff, this is a pretty decent place to start.

mainBRETT1

KILLING OF A FLASHBOY – SUEDE
“And that shitter with the pout won’t be putting it about no more…”

This is just top class Suede. Again, this is a track that makes me feel something! I feel sexy, and ambitious, my bad ass side really does unleash to this tune. Suede are a bit of an acquired taste I think, a bit like Marmite. I wouldn’t recommend them if you’re a bit of a new muso and like to play it safe – however, if you want something different, and can appreciate the musicianship and the lyrical genius, go ahead! Brett utterly nails the vocals on this, no one else can sing this for sure. There’s not much I can really add apart from it’s just an absolute classic.

metallicaheavymontreal2017

ENTER SANDMAN – METALLICA
“Sleep with one eye open, gripping your pillow tight…”

Metallica isn’t a band I often float towards – however, I’ve recently just felt in the mood for something heavier than my usual. Gets the blood pumping and the anger out you know. That riff though, corr, and the bass line… agh! YAAASSS! I reckon, even if you’re not into heavy stuff, you can still appreciate this belter – it’s got a catchy enough chorus that you’ll just eventually sing along, and by the end you’ll be headbanging. If you’re reading this, because you want something new to listen to and want to broaden your horizons… pick this one! Go rock to it right now. Unleash your inner bad ass.

greatwhite2012

ROLLIN’ STONED – GREAT WHITE
“It’s a wonder I’m still alive, can’t believe I ever made it through that ride…”

This is my bloody theme tune I swear!! This tune is so god damn bad ass… it’s just ME all over! I’ve had this on loop for far too long, and is my ultimate distraction… but like I said… this is MY song. Lyrically, musically it is everything I am about.
It kicks off with drum and bass, reeling you in… then that riff just captures you… it’s just rock at it’s greatest isn’t it. So Hollywood!

I have also made a playlist on Spotify called “TOP 5 : JODIE BOWIE” which I’ll be adding my Top 5 songs of the month to each month. So make sure you go and give it a follow etc so you can listen as well. Search for “jodieharris15“.
Also made a playlist on YouTube.

I hope you enjoyed this tasty blog and hope it inspires you to check out some different bands.
GET ROCKING!

Life Update : Bands, Boys & Pets

I know it’s only February of 2018, but I have some stuff to write about and it makes sense to talk about them together rather than separate. So, just a little usual update, nothing impressive! However, there is a few different topics that might be useful to some people – I do my best 😉 

IMG_20180127_031254_268

VISIT TO DIDCOT:
So, around the end of January I went to stay at my Nan’s in Didcot for a whole week; and I actually lasted that long! Took 6 days to get used to each other… but we did it, and now we’re actually quite a bit closer again. Everything was pretty perfect at my Nan’s; so chilled, calm, relaxed, happy… life was brill! I’m thinking of visiting twice a year maybe.
I met up with a few friends from Didcot Girls School (DGS) – Hannah, Jess & Emma and I also met up with my cousin Ellie. In all honesty I wish I was still in Didcot with my Nan. I had a really great time, meeting my friends children, talking old times with my cousin, and getting pissed with Emma in Oxford. Hopefully see all you lovely lot again soon. Definitely recommend getting away if life ever gets too much, or you just need time.

IMG_20180211_095407_031.jpg

ROCK NIGHT V:
I recently organised another Rock Night with Western Sand, Voodoo Vegas & Our Propaganda. I’ve been planning this gig since summer 2017, so to see it being pulled off and being a success was just a relief and a hugely proud moment for me. It was my best and favourite line up I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with/combining. Haven’t really got much to add apart from – I frickin’ did it! I did it! All by myself! And all those people who put me down & said it wouldn’t work… F you cos I did it! Also thank you to Holly, Tara, Lee & Sam who came along for moral support ❤

IMG_20180208_173136_620

PET RATTIES:
I’ve wanted rats for a long long time, if you know me you’ll know I’ve wanted them for years and to call them ‘Courgette & Aubergine’, but my Mum especially hates rats and my Dad doesn’t think I can look after them. I nagged and nagged and nagged for about a week, I did lots of research etc and eventually my Mum gave in and said if I get them they are my responsibility and if they need anything I have to pay. So, with some money from my savings, I bought 2 little rats!
Unfortunately they are shop bought rats, but this is my first time – I haven’t had them long, I got them on the 8th February. They are 2 boys, who I’ve named ‘Del’ and ‘Roddy’ – but this may change!! They are both Fancy Rats & 10 weeks old (allegedly). I will do a full blog on them once they are settled and I know what I’m talking about… but for now, I love them, I want to look after them and spend the time bonding with them… so if I’m quiet, you know why.
I think getting them is also a great idea for me, cos it’s keeping me more grounded, I have to save money and not be so self centered and I also have to concentrate and spend time on something other than myself and thinking how “crap” my life is at the moment.
I mean I may have to give up a few gigs and trips away, but I can live with that; they’re my priority right now.
P.S friends, you are more than welcome to come round and meet the boys, I’m not being anti-social I swear haha.

RELATIONSHIP:
I recently got broken up with, and I wont lie, I am completely devastated. I’m not at all myself really. It’s not something I really want to talk about or share – but if you want to know how I’m feeling, I basically want to be left on my own for a while. I’m sleeping a lot, reading, watching Netflix. I’ll talk to a few people on Whatsapp… but otherwise, I kind of honestly just want to be in my own little world for a while to recover. My friends have been amazing, some people turned up on my doorstep immediately after, some phoned me asap because they were worried.
I’ve had time to think, and I’m not looking for another bloke at all. I’m literally not interested… not even interested in just having ‘fun’. As a friend said, I have a old head on young shoulders. I genuinely want to be in love, happy & safe with someone who is going to take care of me. I’m done with arguing, fighting, breaking up all the time.
So no, I’m not ‘back on the market’, I don’t really have any intention of going back on the market for the foreseeable future.

Snapchat-81565690

MENTAL HEALTH & POSITIVITY:
I had my mental health assessment at Waterford House on the 9th February. It went rather well. I’m staying on my Fluoxetine (although it may be able to be increased) and the Zopiclone to help me sleep as and when needed. They have also recommended that I go for specialist treatment, as we reckon my past is a huge part of why I struggle on a day to day basis and why I can’t deal with my emotions at all, and also how I am in regards to relationships and friendships. So, it’ll be interesting to see where that goes, and what happens I suppose. Right now I’ll try anything to help me cope with my emotions.

UPCOMING GIGS & MUSIC STUFF:
I’m not entirely sure for this one, there is a few ‘Stop, Stop’ gigs I would like to get to. Hopefully my ratties will be a lot tamer by then, I can’t really travel too far right now for that reason… however, I haven’t seen my Stop Stop boys since October, which I am so sorry for and I promise I will see you again soon!!
I am going to two HRH events this year, I won tickets for HRH12 and I got early bird tickets for HRH Sleaze, so I’m looking forward to some Dead Daisies & L.A Guns!!
I’m also seeing Dead Daisies in Bristol supported by The Treatment (my friend Tom has recently joined them as their new vocalist), so that’ll be cool. I expect I’ll make an appearance at my usual local bands shows, we all know how much I love them ❤
As for music I’m listening to right now, obviously a lot of Dead Daisies, Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown, Western Sand, Status Quo, Elvis Presley and Marco Mendoza.

I hope you liked the little update, and that some parts were interesting. If you have any advice you’d like to give me on my new little ratties or if you want advice/support on any topic above, please feel free to leave a comment or get in touch via my social media (linked below).

Much love – Jodie x ❤ x

Favourite Times of 2017

As it will soon be time to say goodbye to 2017, and hello to 2018, I thought I would share with you some of my best moments of 2017! As I do every year 😉
However, this year, I wont be doing a whole 2017 with diary notes blog… as so much has happened, I just wanted to share with you the amazing moments… so… here goes!!

Top Memories of 2016 

Honestly, 2017 has been a roller coaster ride! It’s had a lot of ups, and it’s equal fair share of downs. However, I think all in all this year has been a good one… definitely on a par with 2015 for me. ❤

MEETING JACK
Snapchat-1836792220

I met Jack a few times this year, and I want to talk about all of them… as all 3 of them were best memories for me.
First of all, Talking Heads on Valentines Day – Jack was playing with Marco Mendoza, I noticed him straight away, I thought he looked like James Bay with the hat he was wearing. I noticed him looking in my direction rather a lot that night, so after the show I attempted to make conversation. Later, we crossed paths backstage and he asked me if he could add me on Facebook… I agreed, and we haven’t stopped talking ever since!
The first proper time we met was in Swansea for a Stop Stop gig. It made sense to meet there, as he lives in Cardiff. We were both so nervous! We had a little too much to drink, to mask how nervous we were…. later on… we kissed, and everything just felt so ‘right’.
The first time I went to his, is quite a nice memory too. I have bad anxiety when travelling long distance; Jack came and met me at the station,  rushed over to him and just hugged him for ages! That’s kind of when I knew he was something special.

Download
20170611_125253

Now, I didn’t get to fully enjoy Download quite the way I would’ve liked. However, getting to see some of the most awesome bands on stage has to be the highlight! I got to watch The Dead Daisies, found a love for Tyler Bryant and the Shakedown, I loved Airbourne – they are deffos a favourite of 2017, saw Steel Panther also! The weather was in favour with us, which is unusual for Download.
If I go again, I definitely want to see more of the festival; and probably go with the right person/people that would add to the experience.

My 21st Birthday
20170325_034626
My 21st Birthday! Organised by moi! I got my own rock concert, featuring 3 very special bands 🙂 It took 10 months to organise and I did absolutely everything from, designing the invites, booking the bands, booking the sound & lighting techs, the food, the outfits, decorations, the layout of the tables etc, I even designed the cake!
It was friggin’ AWESOME!! My Dads band played, my friends band Pirates of Panama played and my favourite band ever Stop Stop played! My family actually came, my tattooist were there, all my closest friends were there. My own rock concert, and it really was absolutely perfect ; and I am so proud that it was all my own hard work, and it really payed off. Thank you all so so much, it honestly the best moment of my life to date ❤

Surreal Panther
16299160_1250224175067794_4719870168342580074_n
The night I got absolutely plastered, and hit people on the head with a dildo!
Oh this night was magnificent!
I had A LOT of alcohol, vodka, white wine… that was just pre-drinks. To be fair I don’t remember much of Surreal Panthers set… apart from making out on stage with a girl, and flashing my boobs…. I do apologise… but it’s Steel Panther man! I also smacked my ‘ex’ on the head with a dildo, which is one of the best moments of my entire life if I’m honest. This was also the gig I decided that I fucking love going out and partying, and the next 4 months of my life after this gig was filled with endless amounts of alcohol, fuck loads of fun, and staying at whomevers house.

Voodoo Vegas @ Fuel
20170924_221920
This was a special night for me, for a few reasons. They probably wont sound as impressive as you think, but to me they mean the world.
It was mostly a special night because… I got to book them for my Rock Night!! Aahh!! You have no idea how long I have wanted to put on a show with Voodoo Vegas, and I was more than chuffed when they said yes. I also felt so proud to have a home town band playing in Cardiff – I love all my local bands, a little too much – and seeing them in Fuel really did fill me with pride! 🙂
I also met Nick at this gig, who’s become a good friend… and I hope our friendship lasts! (and with Beth two of course.. gorgeous gal!)

Jacob’s Bday in Swansea
20170507_224630
This was a special day, as it involved my favourite person. Jacob ❤
It was charity event for bullying I do believe? Down at The Office in Swansea. It also happened to be this mofos bday! We got him a cake etc, it was lovely to see his cheeky face so happy! Jacob was even happy enough to share his cake around the crowd and pour champagne down our throats…. what an absolutely lush guy ❤
Probably my favourite Stop Stop gig of the year… and in 2017 I managed to go to 11!! Woooo!

 

I hope you all have a very happy New Year, and get to spend time with your most special ones. I wish each and everyone of you a fantastic 2018! Let’s follow are dreams……. happiness is more important. Remember that. ❤

Bless you ❤
