Natural Bohemian
I blame the warm weather for my current state - I've been completely entranced by all things reminiscent of a 70's California summer. Don't think "boho" - think bohemian. From this amazing sheer caftan featured at The Sartorialist to the absolutely gorgeous peacock-feathered, color-saturated, fringed-and-crocheted inspiration that is artist Kime Buzzelli's blog, The Moldy Doily, I couldn't dream of covering myself in anything but flowiness, beading, and intense patterns until September.
The look is certainly vintage, but also incredibly relevant for this season - runways from Stella McCartney to Sue Stemp featured looks inspired by both Haight Street hippies and easy, breezy 60's SoCal style, and be sure to check out Style.com's Coachella 2008 Street Style slideshow for real-life inspiration. Lucky for us, the high street is flooded with bohemian-inspired jewelry at the moment, and the original apparel can be scored right around the corner at local vintage shops and thrift stores. As always, eBay is a dream come true when it comes to hunting down this (or any!) look.

Hey Threadheads,
I work at a very hippie/ bohemian summer camp. The problem is... I have no cute (yet appropriate) tank tops to wear. Can you give me some tips on how to make appropriate and bohemian tank tops out of some of my old t-shirts?
Sincerely,
