Bohemian Luxury

Looks from Gucci, Naeem Khan, and Anna Sui

What is "Bohemian" fashion?

Long, colorful necklaces, flowing skirts, lots of layers and sandals with ties that wrap around the ankle.The Bohemian look is very hot and it is the Winter 2009 Fashion Trend

Celebrities such as Ashlee Simpson, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and Kate Hudson sport the look as a fashion statement or as a means for disguise when they're craving anonymity.

While it is folk-inspired, and it is bohemian, it is also so much more. It has its roots in traditional folk elements - particularly Russian ones - but it fuses in luxury elements and rock-chic attitude.

To get the Bohemian look here are The Key Elements:
*Billowy white peasant shirts
*Fringed boots
*Folk-inspired tooled leather pieces
*Embroidery and paisley prints
*Charm / coin belts and jewellery
*Luxurious fur or fur-trimmed pieces
*Fringed long skinny scarves
*Bed hair and smudged smoky eye-makeup

Summer Scarves


Scarves are traditionally used to keep warm during the cold winter months. But this summer, long, lightweight scarves are a must-have item

How to wear it: There are countless ways to wear a summer scarf. Standard methods include wrapping it multiple times around your neck and tucking the edges under, folding it in half behind your head and looping the open ends through the hole near your collarbone, or simply swooping it around your neck and tossing one end over your shoulder. Some of Hollywood's trendsetters are tying the ends of square scarves together and wearing them in the style of a Western cowboy. Don't be afraid to experiment: twist, braid, knot two together, or try tying a last-minute halter top.
