Boho with Boohoo

 Its weird, i've tried to not buy in to the whole '70's boho style, opting (or trying i should say) for a more minimal, less patterned monochrome look.
But, i just can't help myself, I get drawn back in to he beautiful paisley prints and rich colours every time.
The textures and patterns are just loveable and so easy to wear. Plus that 70's boho style transitions so smoothly through each season, how many trends do you know that do that? I can't think of many.
So full on 70's style, I am embracing the boho trend (Farrah Fawcett hair and all ;).
Suede is doing the rounds this winter in a major way and the Boohoo Suede collection is absolutely fantastic.

Think coats trousers you name it and there will be an item of it in suede.
(Quick side note, remember the M&S suede midi skirt that was everywhere at the end of summer at a cost of £199, well look at this one.. oh yes!! £20 and it looks amazing!)
If like me you're not sure about a full on suede ensemble, you can dabble easily with the trend with an accessory, like this gorgeous bag.
Tassels, burgundy and suede.. could i love it any-more? (The answer there is no, no i couldn't).
Its amazing.
Paired with some flares and paisley i am totally in hippy happy boho zone without feeling like i'm off to a fancy dress party. I love how the black duster jacket also kind of tones the look down, less in your face more subtle 70's. Perfect for day to day wear.

What are your thoughts on suede items and the whole boho look?

Do you have any suede items for this season? 

Shopping with Boohoo and #Passion4Fashion Linkup!

Do you ever stop shopping somewhere, whether that be online or instore, somewhere because you thought that it may have been too old or too young for you? I have. And its a rookie mistake. never rule anywhere out is my new rule, because frankly there are gems to be found everywhere, and i was blatently just cutting my own nose off ruling out places because my head did too much of that over thinking.
So what's behind this realisation? Well Boohoo is. Boohoo is an online store i shopped at many moons ago, probably when they first launched in-fact. Then as i got older i started to vere away from it. Why? who knows.. we all know i'm not quite all there, right? Because frankly they have some lots of amazing clothes and even better, it normally comes with a small price tag. Its just a case of finding the gems and what works for you, as it is in any shop.
So when they asked if i would like to order something from their website i got to looking. And now kidding, i had a basket full of great wearable pieces that i would love to have in my wardrobe.
Their maxi dresses are so comfy and reasonable (more on that next week and proof to back up my words) and nicer than some i bought for a damn site more in various stores last summer.
They also launched the fabulous #weareus empowering women to be bold, stylish, musical, whatever.. being proud of who you are! S'kind of nice no?
But today i bring you this awesome khaki (it just had to be khaki didn't it?! what can i say i'm a sucker for khaki, one may need a khaki-intervention soon though, can you help?) sleeveless jacket.
I absolutely fell head over heels for it. It's been fairly mild out lately so this worked perfectly for adding an extra barrier against the breeze and adding a little interest at the same time.

Have you ever written off a shop just to be proven wrong?
