Trendy Tuesday: Boho Bombshell


FINE Magazine trend alert! The bohemian fashions of the 60s and 70s have gotten a modern and luscious restyling for spring 2013. With this trend one can expect an abundance of layers and volume, however, with a look of simplicity.

Everything from lovely floppy hats, to girly floral prints, flowy maxi dresses, vibrant beaded necklaces, and shoulder-length earrings, got an elegant make-over for this spring. At Versace, for instance, by combining bohemian styles of long and flowing hair, tie dye silks, flared sleeves, heeled gladiator sandals, and relaxed silhouettes, with edgy black lace details, and studded low leather belts, their spring bohemian collection was given a comfortable, yet glamorous and sexy feeling. 

This trend could be seen at Blugirl, too, who crafted a bohemian collection through its laid-back silhouettes that had flirty details, like flower prints, pastel colors, and crochet details. The bohemian spirit was also apparent in the light and transparent fabrics used – such as chiffon, lace, silk, and organza –which were decorated with crystals and sequins, resulting in a collection that was romantic and flirty.

To easily achieve and wear this look invest in some flattering flowy dresses or jumpsuits. Light fabrics, lace detailing, and flower prints all create a hippie vibe if done right. Layering is also an effortless way to accomplish this boho trend. Scarves, vests, overcoats, and skirts can all be layered on top of one another, creating a look that is relaxed yet fashionable. Try adding accessories like a floppy hat, or an oversized bag to complete this look.
