Bohemian Style Rocks!

In the fashion world, Bohemian or Boho style refers to a state of mind reflecting one's individual style.  The look refers to individuals who are unconventional, artistic, free-spirited and romantic.  You can pull this style by featuring a look that is romantic by using garments that are frilly, ruffled, flowy and airy.  Fabrics such as lace, chiffon, taffeta are some fabulous fabrics that are appropriate for this look.  The trick is how you accessorize the look to make it more cohesive.

In this post I wanted to feature one of my favourite retailers that rock the bohemian and indie looks. Shop FreePeople.com! for airy and drape dresses appropriate for this season.  Here are a few of my favourite looks that really inspire me....

Shoe Party

I wanted to feature a post of my shoe wish list, it compromises various styles with different price points. Personally, I'm very drawn to strappy heels, they just make the feet look so sexy. Lately I have been into lace up heels, not only they are eye-catching but they are in-style for the summer. Cute booties are also my thing, they are stunning especially in the cold seasons. I wonder which one of these are your favourites?

White & Nude Shades

I would choose whites over black any day.  The opportunity of accessorizing is endless using this hue.  In this case, I wanted to highlight layering of bracelets and necklaces.  I have always been into dainty gold necklaces.  As soon as I saw these cute  "On the Mark" and "Heart" necklaces from Stella & Dot, I had to purchase them in a heart beat. :)  Both are delicate and feminine which what I look for in a necklace. The bracelets on the other hand are made of gold and leather.  The chunkiness add a unique and edgy character to them.  I wanted to use all white on one arm and a punch of blue hue on the other.

"On the Mark" and Heart from Stella & Dot

I chose this cotton white top with a delicate embroidered lace detail of flowers at the end seam, top from David Bitton.  I finished off the look with a pair of laced up shoes from Aldo Shoes.  I've been obsessing over cross bodies bags for a while now so I chose this Siracusa PM from Louis Vuitton  (purchased in LV Flagship in Paris last year) which puts together the whole look.

My favourite part of this top is the intricate, feminine, dainty embroidered lace detail at the bottom.

Lipstick Must-Have: Candy Yum Yum from M.A.C.

M·A·C Lipstick

I've been looking for the perfect summer lip stick; and I'm particularly picky in terms of finding the right shade for me.  I stopped using lipstick for who knows how long now.  I would always hear my mom saying, "Lipstick is not good for your lips.  It made mine turned dark."  Now, does it really?  Since that infamous comment, I avoided using lipstick and stuck with lip gloss.  Until recently, I found the perfect lipstick from M.A.C. called Candy Yum Yum

I love this colour personally.  It's the perfect colour for summertime.  The matte finish is great for my lips; the colour is long lasting and stayed on even after eating.  :)  

Here's a picture of me using the lipstick.  :)

Chambray + Denim

I've been somewhat obsessing over chambray shirts this season.  They are really comfortable, good for warm weather (breathable cotton fabric) and are great pieces to play around with.  I like the versatility of the look; you can wear it casually or dressy.

For this look, I wanted to highlight the sexy colour of my flirty red peep-toed by Marc by Marc Jacobs.  Often times, when I create an outfit, I like to throw in a punch of colour; so I thought these red heels are good options.  And since it's been super warm these days in Vancouver, (Thank goodness it's summer time!) I wanted to put together a look that is appropriate for the season.  I decided to go for a casual chic look, so I paired off this Trixie Chambray by David Bitton with denim shorts from Dollhouse.

Aside from loving the ombré colour of this chambray shirt; I also love the interesting spikes of pyramid details on it.

5 Ways to Wear Denim & Chambray

Hello, Summer!

I can't believe summer is already here.  Sunshine has been good to Vancouverites and I mean SUPER good with drenched-in-sweat type of weather.  I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw locals sporting in their summer clothes without a sweater or some sort of long sleeves.  Since I've been fortunate to have sunshine this long weekend, I figured why not have a shoot in down town?  So I did it and was really happy with how they turned out!

I have this High Low Tunic from Zara since like last year.  Underneath, I am wearing a bandeau and a pair of nude shorts to keep the look tasteful.  For the accessories, I wanted to add an accent colour of Red Wristlet  from Dooney & Bourke to make my look more interesting. Finally, I'm using a weave like leather booties from  Aldo.
