Everyday Bohemian Look

Spring of 2016 has definitely been a trendy year for the bohemian look. Many celebrities and instagramers have channeled their bohemian vibes at the 2016 Coachella music festival. Think of style mix between Rihanna and Vanessa Hudgens and you basically have a glimpse of this popular trend. Even in this years season of ‘The Bachelor’, both the final two contestants (Lauren B & Jojo Fletcher) nailed their bohemian look on the show.

Thanks to an abundance of sunshine and light this season, now is the perfect time to experiment with bold and flirty colors -- yellow, orange, lavender, magenta, and turquoise.

So as a result, I decided to create and pull together my own everyday bohemian attire.

1. Off shoulder tops are in! It is not hard to fall in love with this style and top because of how sexy and feminine it is. With this kind of top, it will nicely draw the eyes upward to accentuate the jawline and highlight any ear accessories.

2. Warm Tones - For some of us cool tone folks, wearing orange, yellow, and red can seem a bit intimidating. Many fashion experts claim that warm colors only look best on darker tones, but don't fret. Think of red lipstick and the different tones they come in. Find the red shade that looks best for you by then you'll never want to let it go. So remember, there is a shade for everyone. You just have to keeping searching. Clothing colors essentially work the same way.

3. Lace, Lace, and Lace - It is an absolute must! They just fit so perfectly with any outfit. For a more feminine look, throw in a cardigan. For a more retro look, throw on a leather jacket. If you think you can rock something a bit more edgy, try fringes. Those are always super fun!

How to Achieve the Parisian Look

How to Achieve the Parisian Look

I was recently inspired to create my version of the effortless Parisian look. With a little bit of digging, I found that French fashion has come a long way in the fashion industry. Not only has French fashion played a strong influence culturally, but it continues to lead as a popular style icon in European fashion. To achieve this effortless look, here are some helpful tips to wear the Parisian style:

Less is More

There is no need to over accessorize when it comes to the Parisian style. The key is to look balance and simple. So save those statement necklaces for another day. Rarely will you find French women wearing graphic tees. So instead, trade those adorable animal and cartoon tees for a simple stripes.

Keep it Neutral

Black, white, navy, nudes, and non-powering colors are everything! Not only are these colors simple, but they are relatively easy to match for everyday wear. So investing in basic button ups and blouses would be a ideal for the Parisian look.

Finding the Right Fit

Coco Chanel once said “fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions.” The Parisian style is dressed for the body type of the individual. That means no baggy boyfriend jeans, over sized coats, or ill fitting dresses. Having clothes tailored to fit your curves is practically a must for the French women. This could explain why we are so obsessed with the French figure. So visit your local tailor to keep your attire sleek and fitted.

Wear with Confidence

Aside from French women being crowned for “best dressed”, remember to wear the style with attitude. Never second guess your style choices. Just simply rock it. Dress for yourself and let the confidence shine through.

Much Love,

4 Ankle Boots Everyone Needs to Own

Ankle boots are essentially conservative high heels. They’re stylish, comfy, and they have a way of being subtle or bold. The heels can be thick, thin, short or tall. But here are 4 ankle boots that everyone must own this winter:

1. BETTY Patent Boots
Lets be real here, a person can only have some many classic black leather boots. Change it up! Try this pair from Top Shop. The snakeskin texture is very unique and the metal heels are edgy. These shoes can make any outfit look incredibly chic. For a more feminine & work appropriate outfit, pair these boots with black tights. For a night out, pair these babies with a cute dressy short. http://goo.gl/SNfqea

2. Sueded Pointed Toe Ankle Boots - $38.00

This tan/khakis & black ankle boot would look absolutely stunning with any neutral colored trench coat. They absolutely scream fall season, but I would highly avoid wearing them on rainy days. Rain stains on velvet is never fun. http://goo.gl/xvksGS

3. Faux Suede Fringe Booties - $39.90

Fringe boots are definitely making a comeback. They can add flare and fun to any outfit. It takes an edgy, yet confident woman to rock these stunning boots. Plus, their super fun to walk in when the fringes move with you. http://goo.gl/Qgiumo

4. Zipped Faux Suede Booties - $34.90

Tan ankle boots with the side zippers. They colors are fresh and it would complement well with both boyfriend & skinny jeans. http://goo.gl/NbMizb

These are just a few of my favorites choices to protect your lovely feet from the cold (while staying stylish...of course). Let me know which ones are your favorite & if there are any others I should know about. Ankle boots are awesome, if they're available for square dancing -- count me in!
