Join me on my journey of discovery and reinvention.

my story

Becoming Me

My life has been a series of unconventional choices, and reinvention was my constant companion. I’m a bohemian at heart, but I’ve never fully committed to the lifestyle until now, when I’ve finally run out of excuses.

Stay tuned while I pull this together. The full reveal will happen on February 1, 2025.

Dressing Boho

Frills

Ethnic touches like tunics, wood jewelry, embroidery, beading, fringed handbags, jeweled or embellished sandals. Earthy jewelry made from natural elements: feathers, coral, wood, turquoise. Jewelry is often stacked, large, unique. hats, turbans, headbands.

Clothes

Loose, long flowing dresses and skirts, peasant blouses, with paisley, floral, or exotic prints. It’s not uncommon to see boho clothes with mix-matched prints, tassels, and lace accents. Pick up a peasant blouse, a long and flowing floral dress, or some harem pants to complete the look.

Bags

Natural materials like canvas, suede and leather embody a back-to-nature vibe. Bags are embellished with fringe, beads, color. The classic saddlebag with earthy hands-free functionality was the fashion of the time and destined to become a lasting symbol of elegance. 

Inspirational Words

A lesson from my dad, who was orphaned in the 1918 flu epidemic: “Happiness is not the car in the garage, money in the bank, or a diamond ring. Happiness is the small momentary pleasures most people experience throughout the day but fail to recognize.” Thanks dad!
