IRO: Pre-Fall MUST!!!

"Eline Top" in Multico-Blue Navy

Woven from a luxurious silk blend in complimentary colours, IRO's "Eline Top" in Multico-Blue Navy is an absolute wardrobe MUST. The cap sleeves and slightly frayed edges give this fashion forward piece a slightly casual, easy to wear vibe. Pair with distressed boyfriend jeans, pointed-toe pumps, and a statement making necklace for a simple yet stylish ensemble. As the weather gradually cools, hopefully, not for awhile, layer this beauty over a long-sleeved tee as a great transitional piece.

MOTHER Denim: STUNNING!!!

"Stunner Ankle Step Fray" in Good Girls Do

Received in Good Girls Do, MOTHER Denim's "Stunner Ankle Step Fray" is the perfect casual-cool denim for summer. With a high-waisted cut and asymmetrical unfinished hem, these second-skin skinnies pair wonderfully with this season's cropped tops or tied up blouses.

Style Highlight: Finishing Touch

Jewellery is the ultimate "finisher" to any great outfit. Whether it be a pair of earrings, necklace or bracelet, the RIGHT choices can elevate an otherwise basic ensemble; we CANNOT stress enough its overall importance in completing one's look and/or brand.

As pictured, Tolani, a brand known for their worldly prints and boho-inspired tunics and dresses, has been made that much more exciting by a simple pairing of jewels from local artist, Sarah Peyrow of Shakti Jewelry. Using carefully sourced gemstones and charms from around the globe, these layered necklaces add to the overall feel of the outfit, without them, the dress is still perfectly lovely, but with them, even more so.

 Mixing jewellery from various brands is a great way to curate one's own unique style; however, it remains important to stay within a similar framework for thematic consistency. In the picture above, we've chosen necklaces by Jenny Bird, The Right Hand Gal and Jugar 'N Spice. Although all "different", they each contain elements similar enough to each other, in this case choice of metal and use of pearl and bone, that the overall look compliments and "goes". Further touches such as LLR Vintage's "Hopeless Dreamer Stiff Brim Hat" and B-Low the Belt's "Baby Bri Bri" give the overall look added polish. 

Jewellery then, and accessories as a whole, for their dual purpose of finishing off an outfit and as an individual way of storytelling, is a MAJOR component of personal style, one in which we should revel in and take great pleasure in exhibiting.

4. Add remaining ingredients to pitcher and stir
5. ENJOY!

Style Highlight: Boho Chic

Every year, specifically during the summer months, it seems as though one "look" gets highlighted above all others, that look we've dubbed BOHO CHIC. Now, that doesn't mean it is any more important or relevant than the others, but rather just like the season, it seems to evoke an aura of effortlessness and ease that makes it continually popular. 

Within the trend itself, there are numerous ways in which it is manifested from festival-ready gypsy vibes to urban center sophisticate. One could say then, that there are degrees to an outfit's boho-ness, and how high it rates on the boho scale is up to the individual.

The simplest recommendation for someone eager to try out this look is to pick ONE article from which to base the outfit around, too many thematic pieces together runs the risk of appearing too costume-y. Pictured above is Lovers + Friends' "Fly Away Mini" in Ivory, a free flowing slip dress with tonal embroidery throughout paired with Rails' "Elsa Distressed Vest" in Medium Vintage Wash. The lightened wash coupled with distressed detailing on the body and armholes serves to honor the integrity of the outfit's vibe while anchoring it at the same time. A statement making necklace and on trend stacked heeled sandal give overall polish.

Shop Dress
Shop Shoes

Kimonos, inextricably linked to the bohemian movement, is another great starting point. Used as a "jacket" of sorts, it gives off a carefree vibe without being too over the top. How far you decide to push the envelope is entirely up to you. As THE focal point of the outfit above, Gypsy Soul's "L'assiette Long Kimono" in Ruby, with it's beautiful appliqued detailing and elbow length sleeves, is allowed room to shine by keeping everything else fairly simple. Free People's cropped "Eclipse Tank" in Vanilla and MOTHER Denim's "Looker Ankle Fray" in Guilty As Sin compliment the look without being too heavy handed. Again, a fashion forward crystal necklace and of the moment statement belt (B-Low The Belt's "Rogue Double Belt" in Black) add an element of sophistication to the overall outfit.

These are just 2 of the many ways to incorporate the bohemian trend into an everyday wardrobe...guidelines NOT rules though, so take from the examples what you will and have fun!!!
