Gypsy Hippie

The Boho-Chic Look

Ever want to channel your inner hippie chick but you're unsure where to start? Instead of going all out in hippie gear its best to start small. That's why the Linea Pelle "Janis Fringe Clutch and Wristlet" is the perfect accessory for any flower child. The bohemian style hit the fashion world with a bang a few years back, and the style is still going strong. So, if you want to make a statement and spice up your plain clutches, opt for the fringe Italian leather clutch to add an element of boho-chic to your style.

Although the bohemian trend started in the 1960's and 70's, the trend has seen a great evolution in current seasons. From the start of its origin, the bohemian style was about a free-spirited lifestyle. Burning bras anyone? The carefree mantra was channeled into recent fashions and created a new generation of hippies and free spirits.

Actress Sienna Miller is often credited for bringing the boho-chic style back to life. With a super cute combination of gypsy and luxurious clothing she created a style of her own; a style that many teens and women wish to emulate, myself being one of them. This style is so sought after because it refers to a fashion that is individual and romantic.

The bohemian style evolution gave fashionistas the ability to break out of the mold and create a style of their own. For once fashion lovers did not have to follow a trend, but follow their own inspirations. Take Mary-Kate Olsen for example, she was criticized many times for her oversized shirts and long flowey peasant skirts but she made this style her own.

The mantra for this style is mix and match. If you have a cute white Peasant Dress, pair it with a neutral color pair of flats and a turquoise belt. Add the Linea Pelle wristlet in white and you're ready for any summer's day. The possibilities are truly endless. Mix and match and above all, accessorize!

If any style depended on accessories, the boho-chic styles definitely rely on accessories to make the outfit complete. Extreme attention is paid to details and if we're not fully put together, our outfits can fall flat. Long layered necklaces, head scarves and moccasins are a few among the many accessories used to add a hint of flavor to any bohemian outfit.

Incorporating a bohemian feel to your lifestyle does not have to be expensive. Look in your closet, even the most ordinary things can be transformed into boho-chic. Almost every fashion-forward woman has a white oxford blouse hanging in their closet. Instead of pairing it with the average pencil skirt, find a Shift Dress and layer! Add the right shoes and a hair clip and your style is transformed from drab to fab!

Since accessories are a must, the perfect handbag or clutch also contributes to the bohemian style. Big messenger bags in various colors like neutrals, shades of red and turquoise can make a statement. Plain and simple bags just won't do. It's all in the detailing. Studding, rhinestones and fringe are the epitome of a boho-chic handbag. This is why the Linea Pelle wristlet is perfect for any fashionista wanting to incorporate the bohemian style to her life.
