I love a good flower crown. My friend Jackie and I got together over the summer (when festival fashion was on fire) and decided that we must make some. And… well, we didn’t. But better late than never, right?

Since it’s somehow November already, I decided to skip the traditional summery colors and go for deeper fall tones. These beauties would be perfect for Thanksgiving—or even for taking holiday pictures.

I’ve always been a sort of “crunchy granola” girl. I like bare feet and messy hair and layers. So I guess it shouldn’t be that surprising that I’m really feeling the whole boho kimono trend (some places are calling them kimonos, others are calling them kimono cardigans or kimono jackets. If you ask me, it’s all pretty much the same thing). This latest love of mine takes my cardigan obsession and puts a summer spin on it.

I’m ninety-nine percent sure that if I walked out of the house wearing one, my husband would ask me why I was wearing my bathrobe to the store. And you know what? I think I’m OK with that.

In case you haven’t noticed, I’m a huge fan of laid back bohemian fashion–especially in the warm months. It’s easy and comfortable, which are two absolutely key points when I’m headed into the trenches (aka the grocery store) with my babies in tow.

Camila Alves, also know as Mrs. Matthew McConaughey, is a bona fide expert at making bohemian look pulled together–something that’s not always as easy as it sounds (it’s really not that difficult to end up looking like a homeless Olsen twin).

I guess you would have to be a bohemian champion when your husband doesn’t seem to own a shirt (note to the universe: I’m not complaining).

I realized this week that I’ve been seriously lacking in the jewelry department. While this is no tragedy, it’s kind of strange for someone who used to make jewelry. Lately, I’ve been wearing my Anjolee studs and adding the occasional arm party, but that’s pretty much where it has stopped.

I’m thinking this should change. And immediately.

Whenever the temperature starts to rise and bare feet no longer means frostbite, I find myself on a hunt for bohemian pieces. There’s something about golden rays of sunshine and feeling a warm breeze on your skin that releases your inner hippie, don’t you think? It just makes me want to wear flowy skirts and flowers in my hair.

This is a major reason why, when we were putting together the first issue of our bridal magazine (a summer issue), we decided to do a bohemian photo shoot. We chose flowy, laid back dresses, piled on bracelets and big floral hairpieces (which I made!). The result was a gorgeous spread that even non-brides can look to for inspiration.

Since way back in December I shared my list of to-dos for 2012 with you, I thought I’d share some of the fabulous photos from my first big styled shoot!

Are you drawn to bohemian fashion as much as I am?
