the new boho

asos jacket

i spotted the jacket above in this month's lucky magazine and promptly tore out the page, stuffed it in my purse, and solemn swore i would order it as soon as i got my hands on a compter (i was on a plane at the time). lo and behold, it's sold out in nearly every size, but i'm holding out hope for a restock...

this sweet jacket was featured in lucky's shopping guide appropriately titled "the new boho." like this jacket, the editorial was all about a fresh new brand of bohemian -- think less hippie flares and tunics, more embroidery, pom poms, structured silhouettes, bold patterns, cute sneakers and pops of metallic. it's exactly what i want to wear all summer long, and this jacket is a fantastic starting point (assuming it comes back in stock one of these days...) i especially love the red trim and slightly spanish vibe in the embroidery.

asos clutch

lately i've been on a constant hunt for oversized, flat clutches in every color, pattern & texture. they add a little edge to any ensemble -- from a dressed-up nighttime look or a slouchy sweater during the day. i've amassed quite the collection, including a metallic gold one from the neiman marcus x target collab, an embroidered antik batik bag, a silver glitter case from ann taylor, and a neon pink one by c.wonder. 

this black & white animal print clutch would be the perfect addition, plus it's wildly versatile. it's minimalist and clean, but adds extra interest to a neutral look. it would look great with my standard everyday outfit of skinny jeans, a loose tee, flat sandals & glinty jewelry:
