The Shades of Autumn

September is a few weeks away and I am really looking forward to the fall months.  I am getting excited about the cooler temperatures and all the colors that autumn brings. I am now seeing beautiful handmade creations in shades of yellow, oranges, red and brown everywhere lately. They are so inspiring and the color palette is so rich and bold.  Here are a few of my favorite finds on Etsy in the autumn color palette.

Bohemian Fashion

Don't you just love the free-flowing fashion and design that shows self-expression?  It's called Bohemian Style! It's a casual mix of hippie, ethnic, gypsy, vintage and eclectic elements. Many stars like Sienna Miller, Mischa Barton, Kate Moss and Nicole Richie have a new and fresh twist on the bohemian style with glam and glitter.  If you enjoy the bohemian style, that is GREAT!  The boho style is considered a "state of mind"  rather than a fashion trend so it will never go out of style.

Your Wardrobe Essentials for the Bohemain Style are:

1. Bohemian style is about layering, layering, layering
2. Smock dresses
3. Leggings
4. Long flowy skirts
5. Long vests, waistcoats, cardigans
6. Eclectic accessories
7. Vintage




Here are some amazing items I came across on Etsy, the site for all things handmade & vintage.  Why these?  Well, hippie, bohemian, free-spirit fashion can be different, creative, colorful, inventive, unique, sophisticated, or anything in between so I wanted to choose items that showcased diversity in the hippie, bohemian, and free-spirit wardrobe.
 

 

I love this skirt from Bohemienne Ivy .  The fun flirty spirit makes this bohemian for sure!!



Beautiful Scarf from madeformebyoaklie



 
Suede boots from 20TwentyVintage 



CoCo French Vintage Chocolate leather purse from Dandeliondaydreamer 






And finally, you have got to have a little PEACE in your bohemian wardrobe!



Have A Great Weekend Everyone!

Peace,
Janice

Beaded Wrap Bracelets

Beaded Leather Wrap Bracelets have been popular for several years and they have still not gone out of style!  I love them because they are so versatile.  You can dress them up or dress them down.  They can also be worn as a belt or as a necklace.










There are so many to choose from out there in the market.  I my opinion what makes them so cool are not only the beads, but the different button closures.




Some bracelets wrap around your wrist 2 times while others wrap more, even up to 8 times!  My personal favorite are those that wrap 5 times around. These still make a statement when you are wearing them and they are oh so comfortable.



You can even stack your beaded wrap bracelets and wear several at a time.
