Bohemian Luxury


She is the wealthy gypsy... the successful artist who never sold out... the poet well-off... the high end hippie...

She lives by heir own rules and ignores expected social stigmas. In the world of fashion, the definition is much the same. With roots in traditional folk elements, particularly Russian ones, Boho fuses luxury elements with a rock-chic attitude.

To get the Bohemian look, here are some key elements to consider:

* Billowy white peasant shirts

* Long fringed scarves and boots

* Folk-inspired tooled leather pieces

* Embroidery and paisley prints

* Charm / coin bracelets

* Gold / bronze jewelry

* Accessories that include shells, bone, and wood

* Bed hair and smudged smoky eye-makeup

It’s not just a style trend, nor cookie-cutter description - the bohemian idealist is a free spirit, a go-getter, someone who lives according to themselves and what feels right.
