Glamour Obsession: Bohemian Chic

Hi LDV Readers!  Vanessa Stern here from Vanessa & Valentine.  I thought it would be fun to take a different and unexpected direction today as we explore all things glamorous.  Whenever someone asks me to describe my personal style I usually answer: a little preppy, a little bohemian, always laced with a little touch of glamour.  I was born in the late 70s and grew up in Los Angeles, and have always had a penchant for carefree styles that channel another era.  I definitely am a bohemian and artist at heart and am drawn to people that express themselves with an independent mindset.  So here are a few of my favorite bohemian glam styles...         
Kate Moss is the definition of a Nouveau Bohemian with all her glamour and non-comformity - fur, leather accents, gold jewelry, flowing dress and ciggy.  Chick is just cool!
Ahhh this look takes me back to the Mediterranean where head scarves, caftans, and lots of brown leather sandals rule.  Makes me want to lay in the sun and cruise around on a boat!
I love this bohemian glam boudoir with the Suzani print tapestry climbing the wall, shag carpet and orange velvet Louis Chair.  I totally dig the black and white accents too that keep it chic!
Jade Jagger is the epitome of Boho Glam, living on the island of Ibiza and designing amazing jewelry. 
I hear she's a great DJ too!  
Lots of glammed out turquoise jewelry and of course, gotta have the animal prints!

Drew Barrymore, does it get anymore bohemian glam than this???  I want that dress!
I want to lounge around in this room and listen to records!  Seriously, the fur throws, wood accents, and candles are super chill.  It's so comfy and cozy, yet glam at the same time... 
Sienna Miller
Love this beaded neck line...

Jacqui Getty's Hollywood Hills pad. 
I'm loving the Suzani throw pillow + any zebra ottoman makes me happy.
Lots of jewels picked up on travels around the world...
California skater boho chick
(I like her carefree barefoot attitude, but confused why she's rolling on 2 boards?)

I've been wanting that skater boy framed pic ever since I saw this vignette from Minnie Mortimer's Malibu pad featured in Vogue. 
How adorable is this Boho Glam girl shopping??  Loving those Pucci print dresses!

Nice collection of photos that are definitely related in their idea of Bohemian glamour. I think it is a mindset too, and liked the link to the Bohemian website, although not sure that I exactly fit into any of the types! Great post!

This could not be more me! I'm all about the Boho Glam look, in my home and fashion. That top image of Kate is one of my faves -- I believe she is wearing Halston! And looove that living room with the fireplace, chaise and lotta fur...yummy.

Vanessa Stern said...

I know Erika, I love that Halston dress!!! It's so much fun mixing the 2 styles, I've done the same thing in my home. Your home, btw is gorgeous!!!

Not everyone can pull off bohemian glam but you displayed it in a way where it seems doable in both fashion and at home. Nicely done Vanessa. You'll always have a dash of boho glam in you....you always have.

The use of real fur is not bohemian at all, as most animals are skinned alive on fur farms. Please do not promote this.
