Last Summer I got a fabulous vintage lace maxi dress with open back and bell sleeves from  Spell Designs, it was quite expensive but I really wore it a lot over bikini and also with a nude slip for the evening walks around Dubrovnik.
This season I am looking for a several boho chic pieces to purchase, my first two will be Miyuu Barcelona straw hat adorned with flowers, sheer white kimono, leopard print espadrilles and tons of artesian jewelry which I usually get on Pop Up shops and on Barcelona's independent designer markets. I do most of my shopping online and I plan all of my shopping seasonally.
In this blog post I am sharing my favorite boho chic online shopping locations:
With the rise of popularity of music festivals in recent years and 70s style comeback, vintage lace, crochet, floral pattern, leopard print (yay!) and floaty romantic dresses combined with fringe or cowboy boots, flower hair wreaths or straw/thin wool hats have became a signature style of many famous fashionistas. Bell bottom pants, rompers, jumpsuits and kimonos make the boho chic look complete.
Jen's Pirate Booty

Spell Designs

Became boho chic fashionista favorite online shopping destination. So far I only ordered one dress for them (the on the photo from the beach above) and I was pleased with their customer service. At the time the dress was in demand so it was shipped a bit late but I got it on time to enjoy it the whole Summer long.

Spell Designs ships from Australia so just like for items ordered from Jen's Pirate Booty you will have customs charges if you order from outside of Australia and New Zealand however worldwide flat shipping is only $15.

Although pricy designs are definitely a head turned and of a great quality.


Free People

The brand was launched in 70's as a physical store while the online shop was launched in 2004. and has since became world's best known boho chic shopping location. Free People features boho chic brands from all over the world but it also has it's own product strengthening their signature style.

I collaborated with Free People through my blog and I'm their long term shopper so this is the brand I have most experience with, although some items are a bit pricy they have wide range of price points and really great sales. Recently they launched a mesmerizing wedding collection which got a really fabulous reviews from bloggers and fashion experts. Each month they issue beautiful lookbook editorials with inspirational lifestyle imagery and new, on trend products.

So far I never returned anything bought from Free People and I got a plenty of wears (and I'm still wearing) all things I ordered. If you are based in Europe you can order from Free People UK to avoid customs charges with free international shipping over $150.


The Reformation
One of my favorite brands to shop, most chic, most cool and most environmentally conscious and transparent is definitely Reformation! The closest to my heart but painful for my wallet! :) The Reformation, fashion and sustainability coexist. Created in 2009 by Yael Aflalo, the brand designs and manufactures limited-edition collections in our own factory. Located in downtown Los Angeles, they manufacture most of their products in own sustainable sewing factory. By cutting out the middleman and selling online and in their own boutiques, they eliminate traditional retail markups.  The Reformation sources sustainable fabrics and vintage garments, and incorporate sustainable practices throughout their supply chain to make beautiful styles at a fraction of the environmental impact generated by most fashion brands. From their heat-reflecting roof and use of renewable energy, to the recycled hangers in our stores and 100% recycled packaging for every order shipped, sustainability is core to our business at every level. It is our goal to raise awareness around the impact fashion has on the environment and at the same time offer sustainable solutions and choices. It's their mission to lead and inspire a sustainable way to be fashionable. The Reformation is shipping from US so if you are shopping from Europe you will have to also pay custom charges, duties and fees.  To accessorize look for statement metal or leather jewelry pieces with semi-precious gemstones. I love   Bita Pourtavoosi new jewelry collection as well as   Patricia Nicolas eye-necklaces. 
My favorite accessory however are gorgeous straw and thin wool hats, romantic kimonos and body jewelry along with flash tattoos which you could notice from my Instagram posts.

Although I love wearing thigh high winter boots my favorite part of the year is definitely Spring and Summer, not only for the abundance of sunny weather and new and fresh Spring fashion styles but I am also super excited about Spring and Summer music festivals, especially know when I am living in beautiful Barcelona!

My go to brands when it comes to festival dressing are Free People and Spell Designs. You might remember maxi crochet open back dress which I shot for the blog in Dubrovnik this Summer, that one was from Spell Designs. Whatever I ordered from these two brands I was absolutely pleased with and both brands have that effortless boho chic appeal.

Since I work long hours I am not sure if I'll make it to any of the Spring festivals outside of Barcelona but I will for sure go to a few Summer ones in Croatia and in US. Here is the schedule of some of the most popular ones:


These are just festivals in US but you can search festivals near by your location at Music Festival Junkies website.

For the festivals you definitely want to wear soft and natural fabrics, not to tight. Since you might be wearing one piece all day you want to have swimsuit or strapless top under the long sleeve maxi dress, short denim shirt dress or a short romper for the evening.

Sun screen, sun glasses and/or a fabulous hat are a must have along with the flat sandals, espadrilles and backpack which will fit all your essentials. Make sure you drink plenty of water (especially if you are drinking a lot of alcohol).

Since I love flash tattoos and tons of statement jewelry, festival is a great time to let loose and just pile up my favorite rings and bracelets along with flash tattoos.



Although I had a haircut few days ago my hair is still very long and I love to braid it into a messy braids or braid wreath. For festival season I love to add a few tiny faux flowers and just tuck them into the braid all over. I got the inspiration from Valentino Spring show bellow.


What are your plans for this Spring and Summer?  Are you planning to attend any festivals?
