How to create Modern Bohemian Style

In the fashion world, bohemian, or boho, refers to a a state of mind regarding fashion that is individual, romantic, and free-spirited.

iN my fashion worrrld, bohemian pieces are my all seasons here in Canada. Will give you few tips on getting there....


Start to develop your own way of looking at fashion, mm do get inspirations but do as you wish....

Wearing peasant skirts and flip flops, and messenger bags or buying Indian earring won;t give you that look of individuality. Find your own personality, try not to wear something that suit others but might not be your thing...

Bohemian style is basically following your own inspirations, and actually any fashion is pretty much how you carry it. Find out who you really are and go with the flow.


For example, airy peasant blouses or  ruffly skirts (long or short) in eclectic patterns. Long maxi dress to show carefree your nature.


For heavens sake, Do NOT overdo

Yes please don't  you dare do it and come read my blog after, its a disaster and as I say fashion police do EXIST, (they are out there).....

Start with safer basic Bohemian colors i.e. Earthy tones

You won't go wrong with basic brown, army green, black, greys, but do add layers gradually one by one until you feel over layered.

Experiment with couleurz and accessorize

Take risks, but remember to try it on first...try lots of different couleurz, and check out all sorts of jewellery. Remember not to mix match too much.....Also there is no time frame in this fashion, go in the past, find your granny stuff and dip in....
Braided hair band, or you can braid hair....keep dry hair waves..
Gladiator shoes, or slippers...or fur boots would do
and oo feather earrings...
Light on the makeup.....

keeping your dressing taste in mind, dont follow ANYONE including me blindly...



Where to buy stuff

You dont have to find all things at one place, buy a piece here and there
Look at Forever 21, Urban Planet, Anthropologie, Urban Outfitter, Farmers Market, Flea Markets, Antique markets, Winners, Indian Stores...or oh Gypsy stores etc......

Remember Bohemian is relaxed style so bring that attitude in you and dont worry too much.....
