POSHEstyle: The Bohemian Blouse

There is something extra special about the month of May - yes, I may be biased - pun intended :) But, apart from it being my birthday month, Spring officially comes into full bloom and there is such beauty to behold. 

The excitement for summer's new adventures, new destinations, new loves. fill the air. The  streets are lined with flower shops and sidewalk dining at every corner. The kids come out to play with warm smiles and cheerful chatter. The busy streets of NYC seemingly slow down enough for us to stop and smell the roses - which for it - is a lot! 

And of course, the light, airy pieces we've anxiously waited to wear all winter, finally has its time of year. This season, the hippie-inspired style is mainstream fashion, and this bohemian, peasant, beauty of a top by Daniel Rainn is by all means on-trend. What I love most about this flowy blouse is how light and feminine it is. The print is soft and subtle, with hints of Spring hues; blue, green and orange. The pleats at the neckline adds an interesting dimension and the tassel detail is an extra touch of boho-chic. 

To keep the printed top as the focal piece, I wore a pair of Bullhead indigo skinny jeans. These jeans are super light-weight and has a little stretch, which makes them easy to wear and very comfortable for the girl on-the-go. 

I told you belles, these gladiator sandals by Fergie would be a repeat offender - they are just such a great neutral that works with everything and I can walk in them for hours - kind of shoe heaven for a heels lover! 

In keeping true to the hippie-style, I accessorized by layering bracelets and jewelry. I never go without a timepiece, so starting with my Bulova watch, I wrapped a charmed bracelet by Sara Designs, creating multiple layers around the watch. I wore another wrap belted bracelet on the other hand, and closed it using a cool take on the tied belt look. For the final touches, I added a few midi-rings, my Valentino cat-eye sunglasses, and this gorgeous orange oversized clutch with a vintage brooch. 

I don't know about you, but this change of season and the arrival of May has me on cloud nine. I can't wait for what this summer has in store and I am super excited for the 25th to arrive - it happens to be Memorial Day but more importantly - it's my birthday!!!!! Let the celebrations begin.....

POSHEstyle: Coachella Inspired - Tie & Dye + Fringe

I love how the '70s boho-hippie era has returned with a vengeance this season. Its anything goes, carefree, life loving spirit is exactly what we needed to lighten the mood and energy for Spring/Summer 2015. 

Clearly, this trend was a match made in heaven for Coachella this year, as there were no shortage of outfit options for its festival enthusiasts; with designers from high to low churning out inspired pieces. If you weren't able to attend this year, like myself, you could still be apart of the infectious energy by rocking your indie-inspired looks - and I did just that!

This lovely tie-dye dress from ASOS was a gift from one of my best friends. The pencil silhouette defines the curves and elongates the body, but the fit is loose enough on the body to feel easy and comfortable. Pastel blue is a trendy color this Spring and this subtle tie-dye pattern gives just the perfect touch of bohemian chicness. The tea length keeps the maxi feel whilst exposing the shoes, but this dress also looks stunning belted as a midi look. 

I paired the dress with gladiator-inspired footwear by Fergie. These heels look amazing with everything - dresses, skirts, pants, shorts. I'll definitely be showing you a few more styles to rock them with as they are set to be a repeat offender. 

Fringe, as you all must know, is the season's must do. This RichCoco suede fringe jacket was a steal. I've seen a lot of jackets this season with fringe along the sleeves, around the neckline and on the front, but what stood out to me with this one, was the fringe detail at the back. 

I added some extra fringe-on-fringe fun with this cute bag I bought years ago from a Jamaican designer. The neutral tones in this animal print makes it a versatile piece, and though I have gone through a few bags over the years, I've held on tightly to this little number. It's extra special to me because I get true happiness supporting small local artisans.  

For the accessories, it was all about layering natural elements and symbolic pieces. The more the merrier is the hippie philosophy, so I wore a Ferragamo aviator, my Boluva watch, a leather wrap studded bracelet, Sara Designs evil eye bracelets and a padlock necklace, a couple random rings from a holiday market and a Murano glass ring I bought in Venice 5 years ago. My final touch was a StruckxGold case for my newly acquired iPhone6. The graphic graffiti design is ultra-cool and it's bold colors and musical influences make it Coachella approved.  Remember, this era had no rules, so don't be afraid to pile on the accessories and have fun doing it. Peace and Love! (click to expand)
