Okay, so I admit I can never truly stick to one style category: I could quite easily go from outstandingly casual to girly, to urban, boho or even a lil' bit of grunge all in one week. But if it came down to it, the one style I would nominate as my favourite would definitely be bohemian, although I have an interesting love/hate relationship with it. Whenever I see pictures of tanned girls in boho patterns, crochet or lace I think they look amazing, and I would love to be able to rock the same outfits. Unfortunately, I have the slight problem of being pale. Can you imagine white lace or bright, bold bohemian patterns and prints on skin equivalent to the background of this page? I think not. So, I do think there is a variety of pieces considered bohemian that would look alright on a vampire such as me on the market, but lets just say this one is like me going shopping on Rodeo Drive: I can see the pretty things, but I can't have it. Whatever. Over it. I've moved on.

I so haven't.
Alrighty then. With that all said and done, lets get into it! 
1. Serenity Body Chain, $48 @ Free People
Whenever I see these online, I feel the need to buy one 'cause they're just so pretty! You can style them with almost anything: at the beach, over a crop and skirt combo or even a singlet and shorts, the list goes on! I haven't gone so far as too seeing one in a store yet, but the moment I do, let's just say I'll have a few less dollars in my purse.
2. Gypset Print Maxi Skirt,
My current obsession is with maxi skirts. The only reason I don't yet have one (or twenty) crammed in my closet is because I'm in fear of buying it, thinking it looks good - but it doesn't. I'm in love with the idea of one and how they look on others, but I'm not sure if I'd be in love with the way one looks on me.
3. Cropped Lace Top, $59.99 @ Mango
I'd be lying if I said you couldn't get one almost identical to this for at least $40 cheaper somewhere else, but I just adore the sheer lace at the bottom, the thin simplicity of the spaghetti straps, and the fact that it zips up on the back to avoid messing up that well-tamed 'do of when you need it most.
4. Leggy Sunglasses, $465 @ Steven Alan
Yes, they are not the cheapest sunglasses: but the quality makes it almost worthwhile. I mean, you could totally just go to your normal clothes stores and pick up a pair of frames just like these for $20 (that's what I'd do), but if these won't break your bank and you're into that kind of investment: go for it.
5. Jessica Simpson Kaelani Heels,
To be honest, I think these are pretty, but not that pretty. I wouldn't necessarily consider buying them if it weren't for the fact that I think they style greatly with this particular outfit. But in all honesty, a nice pair of sandals would have completed this outfit just as nicely - despite the practicality of them.
6. Leaves Headpiece, $615 @ Luisa Viaroma
If you take away the fact that the price of this piece of jewellery can almost buy the latest iPhone or Samsung Galaxy S-whatever, then you have a gorgeous headpiece. Look, if I saw it in-store for $20-30 and I decided that it looked good on me, I would probably buy it.
7. Silver Feather Ring, $212 @ Carpe Diem Jewellery on Etsy
Gorgeous, but if its the feather style you're after, you can get two, quite similar for under $4 each at Forever 21 here and here.
