Shopping tip 101 Shopping tip One of the best ways to stay focused while shopping is to take a picture with you out of one of your favorite magazines. If you take an image with you, not only will it help you and a sales staff to pull together the look you want, but it will also help you stay focused on what you came to the store for in the first place as well as save money.
Source your magazines-meaning pull out the information that inspires you, put it in a binder and recycle the rest. I started doing this when I was in college and it has been a lot of fun. It also saves time and space.

Shoes

I love womens shoes. I have no idea why I love them as much as I do. It is a true obsession.

All the girls in my family seemed to be afflicted with it, thought some have it more then others.

I thought for the longest it was some weird little oddity that only my family had.

How to get the Boho look

The Boho look is a mismatch of old and new. Like the European gypsy that this look was originally based. It borrows pieces of clothing from all classes and nationalities.

An English peasant top, American jeans, Moroccan necklace, silver hoops from Thailand, leather jacket from Chili and a beret from Basque in colors and patterns that feel good together.

Where to find clothing that work for this look??? All over. Department stores, import shops, vintage shops and art galleries for starters.

Fashion Designer Vivenne Westwood

Slashed jeans, ripped t-shirts, vinyl bondage wear, garments held together with safety pins and creative expressions of historical silhouettes all help describe Vivienne Westwood.

She had no formal training in fashion design but as a teacher and taught until she open up her first boutique in 1971 with then partner Malcolm McLaren. She started out selling garments to punk rockers and eventually started designing her own garments.

For nearly forty years Vivienne Westwood has created some of the most outrageous counter culture anti-fashion designs. Like most artists her designs have morphed over the years to whatever inspired her at the moment.
