If you’ve seen my H&M video “Boho Behaviour,” you know that I #love anything bohemian. So when I came across this fun “Bohemian Summer Party” post I knew I had to share it! It has me excited for summer night dinner parties with my closest friends, complete with delicious food, fabulous florals, and good conversation.
I’ve also included some bohemian-style finds for YOUR bohemian-style party. Do you live the bohemian lifestyle?

This year’s theme was “Schiaparelli & Prada: Impossible Conversations.” (Click here to see my recap of last year’s gala, which honored the late great Alexander McQueen.)
These are the red carpet looks that I liked, and some that made a statement, like Kirsten Dunst’s Rodarte-designed Santa Clause-ish ensemble, designer Marc Jacobs’ interesting look, and Hailee Steinfeld’s age-appropriate appearance.
Who do you think #rocked the red carpet?

What do you get when you experiment with dyed water, macro lenses, and an eye for art?
You get these shots by Germany-based Heinz Maier. After seeing this and this I knew I had to share his work. It’s #fun and colorful, and I love it!

From The New York Times’ T Magazine comes this #delicious fashion editorial photographed by Richard Burbridge and styled by Robbie Spencer.
And what’s hiding under all those fruit and vegetables (and pasta and candy and fish)? Dolce & Gabbana, Ferragamo, Missoni, Armani, Alexander McQueen, Emilio Pucci, and more.
Maybe it’s true… you are what you eat!

To mark the first day of spring I opted for light pieces – a denim blazer, white textured blouse, rolled-up jeans, beige booties, and a #fun necklace.
Wearing denim-on-denim doesn’t have to be hard; when done right it can look very American-cool. Just be sure that your denim pieces are not the same hue – go for at least two shades’ difference. Tan or beige accessories, like shoes, look great with denim – and the break with a neutral-colored tee makes this look ultra easy to pull off. Top with a statement necklace and you’re good to go!
