A Bohemian Ensemble


No doubt, I'm a Bohemian/Hippy/Gypsy at heart, whatever you may call it, it's part of my dreams, my style and my way of living life. There's something about the anything goes look that appeals to me, the mix of ethnic textiles, patterns, colors and accessories speaks to me like no other style or fashion. It's just sexy people! :)

For me, to be bohemian means to have the courage to live life the way you want. I hope you can draw influence from this new batch of images, take from it what you will and from there make it your own.

Ooooh....pretty peacock feathers :)





I absolutely love this image.... so cool...



Love the fashion, but this girl looks like such a drama queen, hehe....





Gorgeous textiles...







Look! Another gypsy caravan! But this is a photo shoot fake one since we all know gypsies would never care to iron their clothes.... ;)



I like this model, she looks so pretty in all her Native American like get-ups....






And for last, doesn't she look chic? Minus that cigarette, she is rockin' the look!

Suzani: In detail


A suzani is a hand-stitched/embroidered textile made in Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and other Central Asian countries - its name derives from the Persian word Suzan, which means needle. A Kilim (or Kelim) is considered a woven tapestry or rug originating anywhere from the Balkans to Pakistan, and can be purely decorative or used as a prayer rug.

Here are some random images of Suzani's that I have left over... just some more eye candy, enjoy! :)
