Romantic Gypsies & Cosmic Love

'Romantic Gypsy' is a trend that's deliciously glazed the runways and high streets this season. And with my folk grunge routes, this style was organically dictioned into my wardrobe. For those looking to adopt and breath in a bohemian air, layering is the trick of the gypsy carnival trade, exuding comfort and celebrating enrinched colour. Alternatively and on the flip side, I also love folk simplicity in the Summer, letting the countryside and surroundings contribute to the look and paint an outfit picture. An example is the vintage top below, that to me looks like a textured treasure quest scroll, with a wealth of intricate design and dusty colours. All it needed was some ripped up cycling shorts, red chocolate brogues and a shredded cardigan that looks like a surreal bird of fantasy when played with. And for guys looking to embrace the gypsy style whilst retaining a most masculine vibe, I've included an editorial which captured my eye. It has a romantic tragedy and fragility to it but with an industrial edge; like metallic ballet or futuristic art. Let me all know about your carnival thoughts, hope everyones had a great weekend, and a big thanks to http://nobodyknowsmarc.blogspot.com/ for kindly giving me the shredded cardigan on show!
