1. Gypsy Chic- Get inspired by your wanderlust, try a caftan. These effortless garments will definitely give you a sophisticated edge while conveniently making a few extra pounds disappears.  Go for bright solid colors in linen from Figue or soft tie dye patterns in silk from Deepa Gurnani.  Channel your inner Elizabeth Taylor by adding a variety of statement baubles from Lele Sadoughi or House of Lavande.

 

 

 

 

2. Bohemian Rhapsody- The key to bohemian style is an off duty ease and an artisanal flair. Try tossing on any piece from our Mexican Bazaar collection or slipping into one of Gypset?s African inspired dashiki dresses.  These are looks that work best for the young at heart and festival bound. Don?t be afraid to pile on tribal jewelry from our Indian Bazaar and carry a brightly woven mochile bag from Miss Mochila.

 

 

 

 

3. Preppy Perfect- Think understated New England style with a global twist. Banjanan?s cool cotton shirtdresses in botanical floral are a perfect cover up for the beach or a quick trip to town. Add a classic gold accessory with a shark?s tooth motif from Dezso by Sara Beltran and a sustainable clutch form Dutzi for flawlessly quiet style.
