Bohemian Rhapsody

Although summer has already come to a close, the "boho" trend is still very prevalent in cities across the world. That includes Sydney, Rio de Janeiro, the Caribbean islands, Hawaii.... If you didn't just think of a warm winter vacation, then school's stress really is getting to you! Hit these tropical cities with your best bohemian embodiment instead of the usual tourist tees, and you'll definitely turn heads. Don't forget to pay your dues to the original boho-chic queens of each era, Kate Moss, Sienna Miller, and Vanessa Hudgens. 2012 could really use a flashback to the 70's!

Bonus tip: The shorts model Alissa is wearing were hand-cut from white jeans and dip-dyed, all by ourselves! In comparison to Urban Outfitter's price of over $50, this is pretty worth it. Just find an old pair of denim jeans and purchase Rit Dye at your local Michael's craft store, and you can wind up with hipster shorts in less than two hours. Also, you can take an old T-shirt and cut lines along the bottom to make a cute fringe cropped tee. Here we used Alissa's mom's vintage Aeropostale tee from 1986.
