HIPPIE REMIX

Hey beautiful people,

This is your friendly stylist Raffealla writing again this week about something very interesting and I like to call it the Hippie remix, as many Asians like the bohemian and hippie look and love to style up with large prints, baggy clothes, details jewellery and earthy to bright shades.  I will be sharing some tips and also some information you would like to know.

Did you know that, the bell bottoms were originally made for military uniforms?
A fashion icon in the 70’s, the flared pants are back on the 2013/2014 runways. With their flared out bottoms, these pants gently go straight down making us feel somewhat wild and somewhat gypsy. Did you know that, once again, the bell bottoms were originally made for military uniforms? It is believed that they were first used by the US Navy in 1813. Later on the bell bottoms were adopted by the hippie culture, then they became popular again in the 90’s and now they are back in style in the 2013/2014 season.

·        They are a versatile garment and easy to match. Why don’t you go to the office today in a hippie remix version? Open your closet and pick a blue striped, long sleeved T-shirt with a boat neckline.

·        Let’s play down a bit the pants’ military origins. Your flared pants: dark denim or blue cotton, they are both perfect, pick the one you are more comfortable with. Heels or flats? The answer is outrageous heels and XL eco leather tote bag (chic)

·        Large geometrical shaped printed dress? Wow perfect get a thin gold belt and accessorized with some feather earrings and some chunky bangles and you are ready to go.

·        We all love floral prints so try some miss matching colours and floral prints with a contrasting colour scarf, necklace or shoes and spice up the hippie remix look.

·        How about you spice up your old pair of sneakers? Get some vintage laces, metal studs, colourful beads and decorate the shoes the way you want.. Make it crazy as much as you can.

·        Why throw you old jeans? Lets up cycle it to a funky hippie bag or pair of funky shorts. Cut the edges and work on the raw edges with thread tussles and go totally pochohunters.

·        Head bands and hair accessories can help you to easily get the bohemian look even with a simple white shirt and jeans… try out some interesting forehead bands, feather clips, feather and coloured hair extensions, fake braided hair clips, huge floral clips with touch of funky feathers.

·        How can we forget the cool casual look t-shirt and jeans...well we all love it in fact that is my most favourite look, spice it up with the t shirt scarf  some chunky accessory pieces may be some bead necklaces, bangles, rings and bracelets and you look rocking.

·        All the beautiful people out there love makeup.. Dark blusher, nude lipstick dark eyes with feather lashes...!! You look perfect and some coloured eye liner, colourful eye lids with contrasting mascara... !! Wow you face is so colourful that it will be worth to stare.

·        Accessories play a strong role in getting the bohemian look specially few necklaces on simple plain dress with a printed clutch bag, contrasting shoes, couple of rings, bracelets and may be spice it up with an armlet .. You will exotic, beautiful, spicy and ethnic.

The hippie remix is beautiful when you do it right and you never get sick of the look. So try these things out for a party, cocktail, fashion show, outing with friends or even when you are going on shopping. I am sure that you will love the look.

Fashion is seasonal, style is eternal so create your own style as fashion and style is not democratic. Have a wonderful weekend.
