A luxe dress doesn’t always have to be accompanied by ladylike matching pumps and a proper handbag. It’s sad to think of all the fabulous cocktail dresses sitting lonely in their protective dry-cleaner bags in the back of the closet, waiting anxiously for their next tony affair. Parisians are born with the ability to pull this look together in their sleep - their secret seems to be the abandonment of all rules of “this goes with that.” Want to be French for a day? Try pairing a sexy cocktail dress like this one by Les Prairies de Paris with funky boho gladiator sandals. Tie it together with jewelry that has elements of both styles like this snake ring by Iosselliani and a big stack of silver bangles. Click SEE SLIDESHOW for four separates that, when put together, are Parisian perfection!
Want to give your place an effortlessly cool, well-traveled vibe? Don’t be afraid to mix and match colors and prints: graphic, modern, and ethnic prints look surprisingly fabulously together! Accessorize with a well-edited collection of unique pieces you’ve picked up on your travels: a bleached white shell will look great next to that wood carving you picked up in Costa Rica! Haven’t gone on any great trips lately? Not to worry. There are plenty of inexpensive, wow-factor pieces to be found in shops like Urban Outfitters and West Elm. Just check out this red lantern and tongue-in-cheek hip art-piece-slash-mirror! Click SEE SLIDESHOW for some more great Stylehive finds to turn your pad groovy.
When it comes to style, a little devil-may-care attitude goes a long way, and this season is asking you to throw caution to the wind. Boho-cool is back and it’s brighter than ever in groovy prints and daring ombré. The peasant top is a must-have and so chic paired with short shorts, and billowy silhouettes are making getting dressed a breeze. No bohemian trend would be complete without a little crochet, and it’s showing up on dresses and tops, shoes and handbags. It’s chic for the free-spirited, and it’s so hot for spring.
