THE BRAND-NEW BOHO

via H&M

Originally posted in The CLOSET

If you're under 30, you probably went to at least one music festival this summer. But even if you didn't (and even if you're over 30 like me) you probably dressed like you did. Boho chic has been on the rise over the past few years as flower crowns, distressed denim and fringe have taken over as summer wardrobe essentials. With the sun shining down and the latest indie album on repeat, going boho makes us feel like total free spirits on the weekends, even if we do nothing but work, eat and sleep during the week. 

While that boho vibe usually fizzles out by fall, this season feels different. For Fall '15, some of the top fashion houses embraced all things '70s, providing a softer option for those of us who just don't 'get' grunge. From supple suede coats and boots to pretty bow-tie blouses and flowy maxis, the options for boho babes are endless this season. Read on for my top boho scores and how to wear them to keep the party going for fall. Don't you just love?

ALMOST FAMOUS | How to Be a '70s Style Star

Fun florals from Emilio Pucci

Since one of my all-time fave things to do is dress up, I'm sure I'm biased. But there's something about seventies style that I find tragically irresistible. From so-bad-it's-good disco queen lamé dresses to SoCal boho beads and blouses, the seventies were simply a super fun era for fashion.

For Spring '15, designers at Chloé, Pucci, Rodarte, Derek Lam and House of Holland, were inspired by all sides of the seventies, from a laidback California roadtrip to the glittery dancefloor at Studio 54. The runways were loaded with floral blouses, towering platforms and flowy boho dresses fit for any Penny Lane wannabe. Meanwhile, fringe, suede and long pendant necklaces made a comeback we're guaranteed to notice on the street this spring. 

So unbutton a few, pour yourself a Piña Colada and get on your feet (after all, you should be dancing). From the wrap dress to the return of the flare, these pieces will help you be a total '70s style star this spring. In the meantime, here's your fashion homework for this weekend: watch American Hustle, Almost Famous, and That '70s Show (before Mila and Ashton had a baby). Can you dig it?
