take me away to the twilight zone

4.18.2015

 things near and dear to my heart: scotland, bib lettuce, iced tea and the 60s and early 70s.

the 1960s: mick jagger in a dress, political turbulence, jane birkin, hippie communes, strange donovan album covers, vietnam, oh and mick jagger in a dress. 

the bohemian 60s and 70s are in style for spring and summer. this is my kind of bohemian fashion (i'll leave out my personal opinion on flower crowns and crocheted crop tops).

  like ezra koenig, i am a staunch traditionalist. when it comes to the bohemian fashion, not on wether or not texts should be sent from devices such as ovens and microwaves.  i hold the beliefs that one should try to rip off jane birkin as much as possible in dressing "boho" and  george harrison should be considered a fashion icon. floor grazing, flowing dresses, suede fringe jackets, picnic baskets as purses and peasant blouses. that's my kind of bohemian. 

 french fashion house, chloe, had my favourite 60s and 70s style bohemian collection of spring/summer 2015. if i had a million dollars, i would buy me some chloe (bare naked ladies pun intended).  an ethereal runway of floor-length silk dresses (like mick jagger's dress), peasant blouses, denim on denim and suede. bohemian silhouettes done in the simple way the french woman dresses. 

it's not kitschy and overly styled like a lot of "boho" looks tend to be. chloe pieces need little no accessorizing and styling, oh and like thousands of dollars to purchase them .no flower crowns, just a simple necklace, or the voodoo priestess skull beads alexa chung wore with a silk chloe dress at coachella and your jane birkin basket purse. 

here are my favourite looks from chloe's spring/summer 2015 collection.
