9. printed tunics(me wearing a tunic from F21)


10. sandals(me wearing Topman gladiator sandals)



1.) I strongly believe that EVERYONE needs some fun and exciting statement accessories for summer you really can turn the volume on a basic top by just adding layering on necklaces and rings( my tip for layering necklaces is mix and match metals and lenghts and materials i.e golds,silvers, and wood.)

2.) A is always the perfect cheery on top for almost any outfit I wear one just about everyday day.

3.) Always a summer staple denim shorts go hand-in-hand with summer festival dressing, but you dont have to go out and spend a ton on a manufactured brand when you can just go to your local thrift or second hand store and rip an destress your own( I use sand paper, an old cheese grater, and razors to destroy mine)

4.) Perfect for going to that outdoor music event or for just running errands I love wearing moccassins. My favorite brand is Minnetonka they alwasy turn heads and many of the styles are under 80 bucks!!!score!!!

5.) I love my cross body bags especially my fringe bags I recently found 2 bags in black and chocolate brown suede. They are very convient and add the perfect hippy/gypsy touch to any drab outfit.!!!

6.) Printed pants are popping up everywhere this spring/summer season. On a recent trip to my local thrift store a found a pair of thin light weight pants with a really cool print.( look for those in a up-and-coming post!!!)

7.) Nothing says says 70's gypsy/boho to me more and a pair of bell bottoms or flared jeans. Although she isn't pictured I love the way Mary-Kate Olsen wears hers, slightly oversized and ripped and destroyed at the knee. I wear mine ripped with old beat up cowboy boot or sandals and an awesome tunic or band shirt!!!

8.) Aviators I mean need I say  more who does'nt love them they are the perfect UV blockers while still looking stylish!!!

9.) Wearing ethnic tunics always gives me a feeling of being back at Woodstock 1969 dancing around free spirited!!!

10.) Sandals are the perfect way to keep your feet cool and free without looking bland and boring  in a pair of flip-flops!!!
