Romantic Bohemian


When I first found this white eyelet dress, I knew I had to try and channel D&G S/S 2010.

Part of the fun in blogging is unearthing the perfect setting to match the mood and feel of the outfit. When Alex and I came across this spot, with hay strewn about the floor, I instantly thought about Chanel S/S 2010.




D&G and Chanel: the perfect marriage!




After careful consideration, I've come to realize what my "style" and personal preferences truly are. I tend to gravitate towards feminine, soft frilly pieces with girly skirts and prints. Native American influenced fringe, braids, feathers and turquoise also enliven me. Bohemian rings true with my aura.



Forever 21 rings, dress and suede fringe bag. H&M bow hair-clip. Minnetonka Knee-Hi boots.

ohmylordy, you look like a bohemian princess!!! i adore this look and i am not generally a fan of fringe, but this look is like native american goddess. and i love the ring.

so please tell us, how do you keep your hair so strong and shiny? my hair is down to my ta-ta's and i am finding it hard to keep it shiny and strong. i really don't blow dry or straighten a lot, so it's not damaged. so tell me, tell me. grazie.

Wanderlusting said...

Eyelet is one of my faves, so innocent until you pair it with something (unless it's more eyelet, lol).

I can't wait to wear that pink C&C Cali dress I got from you last year, waiting for the weather to improve! Maybe I'll take it to Coachella? :P

Wanderlusting said...

I'm also impressed about the bag from F21 - looks actually like it is good quality, photographs really well!

Oh honey, you look so at home in that outfit. I agree that it fits your aura. Would you believe I bought that exact same dress (of course you would, who doesn't love F21?). I've been looking for the perfect white sundress for a long time, and I just love this one--can't wait to wear it. You complement it perfectly with the turquoise and fringe--well done. Your hair is perfect :)

i love these pictures of you erika! you look like a haute cowgirl!

and regarding turbans...are you looking for something to cover your entire head? or just like a band? F21 has some decent ones, and I am going to buy several from Amazon...just type in turban and you should get a lot of different results.

let me know if can't find them!
