Haute Hippie

Since preppy really isn't my thing, I opt to wear blazers in lieu of cardigans. That's not to say that I don't love the geeky nature a cardigan can bring, but kimonos have a way go being uber feminine yet downright sassy. I have to give credit where credit is due - Stevie Nicks was rocking em way before they became this summer's must-have outerwear. Hello, gypsy chic!

From fringe and florals, to basic solids, kimonos have a place at work, and up at the bar served with your favorite martini... And black pumps. A pair of semi-distressed jeans, paired with a fringe kimono and thin heels looks so dressed up. Yet, put on a pair of leather shorts, a crop top and a cropped kimono to match, and you're ready for a concert!

Flower Power

The baby doll dress was a huge part of my 90s style upbringing. Baby doll tees, baby doll dresses - I lived in them in high school. And now, with this resurgence of festival style becoming more of a year-round thing, I couldn't be happier to throw on my favorite 90s throwback style. I found this adorable daisy print baby doll dress at Forever 21 and after trying it one (and doing a happy dance in the fitting room), I knew it was meant to be.

I can't tell you how happy I am to be back in dresses! Finally! I'm ready for my ombre to get lighter, nail polish choices to be cheerful, and to wear these laser-cut heels from Sole Society as much as possible. They're the first pair of brown shoes I've ever owned - I'm not kidding (Remember my stance on wearing brown? You can read about it her). 

I thought I'd try something new this summer in terms of my style. I still love my edgy pieces, but I want my style to be all about really girly dresses, feminine shoes other than wedges, and a boho chic vibe, inspired by the 70s, minus the smell of petrulli. I think this outfit is a good start. Don't you think?

Steal Her Style: Stevie Nicks

Stevie Nicks is without a doubt one of music's most talented, and fashionable, songstresses. Her  voice is one of a kind, as is her recognizable style. From ethereal dresses decked out in layers of silk, to gold dust woman gypsy realness, as the frontwoman of Fleetwood Mac, Stevie started a style revolution that 40 years after she stepped out on the stage in platform heels would continue today.

Stevie is a personal hero of mine. She's just one seriously badass lady. If there's such a thing as reincarnation, I want to come back as her.

This summer, I'm going to embrace my inner white winged dove and go all gypsy, even if I'm not attending a music festival. Replicating her look is easy as boho style has stuck around since Coachella - so recreating her style is easier with summer upon us. The key to creating Stevie Nicks' 70s style is finding pieces that have that have a rockstar vibe, but with vintage appeal.

A fringed kimono or purse, a pair of sky high platform wedges and of course, a white dress that blows in the wind, and you'll feel like you're channeling Stevie's signature style!
