Happy first day of fall, babes! Now we love summer just as much as everyone else — the beach days, the patios, the best adventures with our littles — but we are thrilled to welcome our favorite season. Now obviously the sun is still shining and the summer temperatures are still hanging on, but that doesn’t mean it’s too early to build the cozy wardrobe that we've been dreaming about. So stock up on hot cocoa, plan some apple orchard trips, and check out our top fall styles. 

We are wild for animal print, and when you pair that with balloon sleeves and make it as cozy as could be, we can’t possibly say no. We’re hoping sweater season rolls in soon, so we can pair this leopard jumper from Lost in Lunar with some high-waisted mom jeans and Chelsea boots.  

We’ve been dreaming about this sweater dress from Minkpink ever since we first laid eyes on her. This is instantly the perfect outfit, and it doesn’t even matter where you’re going. The color-blocked chevron design brings a retro vibe and the shift fit keeps it crazy comfortable. For a day out and about, we like to pair it with sneakers, but then slip on some thigh-high boots the second the sun goes down. 

Now that we’ve set our sights on this shearling denim jacket from Show Me Your Mumu, we are irate that it’s still sundress weather. But that won’t stop us from wearing it with anything and everything, and powering through the heat. With that relaxed fit, you can easily layer it over even the thickest sweaters, and the shearling lining means it’ll keep you warm when winter shows up. 

If you know anything about us, you know that we are firm believers that bell-bottoms should be worn on a regular basis. So, of course, we had to bring in some autumn vibes by making them burgundy and corduroy. Try pairing these corduroy bell-bottoms from Show Me Your Mumu with a cropped sweater and some booties for a look that’s as bold as you are. 

There’s a reason why cardigans are the ultimate wardrobe staple — they instantly warm up any outfit. But this year it’s all about the statement cardigan, and this bright magenta cardigan from Minkpink sure makes a statement with the cropped length, fuzzy fabric, and bold buttons. 

Okay, I guess we have to accept that the leaves aren’t going to instantly turn and the days won’t be the perfect temperature the second the first day of fall shows up on our calendars, so while the days are still warm, this gauze jumpsuit from Stillwater will be the perfect go-to choice. Of course, when things cool down, all you have to do is layer on a long coat, like our favorite pink teddy coat from Lost in Lunar, and you’ll be ready to go. 

One of the best things about fall is the cuddling up with a good movie and your favorite snacks, so we couldn’t have a fall outfit list without adding in these thermal jogger pants from MATE The Label. These organic cotton sweatpants will be the easiest thing to throw on whether you are running errands (try pairing them with a graphic tee to add a little extra style) or you’re just relaxing at home. 

When it comes to mixing styles and establishing your own personal brand, Kelsey DiPrima (@kelsey_diprima) reigns supreme. She’s one of our favorite fashion and lifestyle bloggers, and we were thrilled when we found out that she’s also loving us! Between sharing her fabulous self with us on her blog and adventuring around Southern California with her pup, Piper, we caught up with her to hear more about what trends we can’t miss out on this summer, what her time at FIDM was like, and (we couldn’t help ourselves) what her top oldbazaaristanbul picks are. 

Your personal style is amazing, have you considered becoming a stylist to others? 

First of all, THANK YOU! BUT I do style others on the side! I worked at Nordstrom for seven years so it’s very easy for me to help others dress for their body type! I love helping people clear their closet and ease new trends into their wardrobe without scaring them! I’m also known for how honest I am, which is very honest when it comes to styling. You can’t be afraid to tell people what works for them, but more importantly, what doesn’t!

What trends are you loving right now? 

Ahh, I am loving linen chic — a European summer has been on my mind… giant (straw) hats, straw bags, and loose neutral linens. Dreamy!

We see you attended FIDM, how do you translate your study of fashion into what you do now? 

FIDM taught me SO many things! It taught me how to spot trends and know which are going to last and which won’t. Not only that, it lets me spot WHAT part of the trend will last and how big trends will transform into the following season. My major was merchandise product development, so it taught me the design side (which is where trend spotting comes in) along with the business side. I think a huge part of knowing how to run a business and market yourself has led to my early success in blogging! Along with the fact that this is what I was meant to be doing — I can feel that in my bones. 

What or who are your major influences?

Europe and Australian fashion influence me A LOT. Some of my favorite online influencers consistently have been @sheamarie (she is fashion goals) and @laurajadestone — both of their style + beauty + aesthetic are constantly on my “oh yes” radar!

What are some of your top picks from BohemianMama.com?

Oh, that’s easy — can I put the entire website here? If I had to narrow it down, I’d say these 6 pieces: 

When it comes to effortless summer style, wanderlust seems to be the name of the game, with our new favorite brand really leading the pack. This Australian company was created to showcase the ideal mix of global influences and beachy Australian vibes. The story starts in 2013 with leather accessories (with brushed gold hardware that’s to die for), but lucky for us they decided to expand to apparel so we can fill our closets with the dreamiest pieces. We are head-over-heels in love with everything they have, but here are our top 5 summer wardrobe essentials.

1. Statement Shorts

When the sun is shining and all there is to worry about is whether you’re going to spend your twelve hours of daylight at the beach or curled in the hammock with a new book, there’s only one appropriate uniform: shorts. We’re all for those trusty denim cutoffs that you’ve had for years, but once you slip on the Sabrina Shorts, you probably won’t want to wear anything else. Not only are they so comfy with the super relaxed fit, but also they showcase the official pattern of summer (at least in our opinion). 

2. Casual Blouse (that can be worn with anything)

Some people might think that button-down shirts are meant only for days in the office, but we are here to tell you that that's utterly and completely wrong. The Estelle Painters Shirt brings the perfect free-spirited style with the slouchy fit, and you can wear it in (approximately) a million different ways — we’re talking over your swimsuit on beach day, French-tucked into jean shorts, or tied at the waistline with your favorite jeans.

3. Sunny Pants

In case you haven’t yet realized, mustard is the color of the season (and the official condiment of summer barbecues). Even better than brightening up any outfit, these high-waisted paperbag pants have a relaxed fit that will make it feel like you’re strolling around in your pajamas while making you look like you just came from a day in Paris. The Lida Pants are super lightweight to keep you comfortable even when the sun is strongest — just tuck in a tank top for the perfect casual-chic outfit.

4. Function Meets Everything-Else-You-Could-Want-in-a-Bag

Gone are the days of simply grabbing whatever purse you can find, because with a statement as striking as the L'echelle Mini crossbody bag, you’ll never pass up an opportunity to catch some eyes. The structured design means no more digging around trying to find your keys amongst the madness, and the mix of bamboo and leather is about as beautiful as you could imagine.

5. Jump into Jumpsuits

You know the feeling when you just slip on a dress and all of a sudden you feel like you can do anything? Well with jumpsuits, you really can do it all. The Lia Jumpsuit has the versatile look of a maxi dress — perfect for beach weddings, brunch with your besties, or just strolling around your city — and the lightweight feel and spaghetti straps will make it your go-to one-piece outfit as long as there’s a hint of sun. Want to bring even more winery-weekend vibes? Look to the Palma hat from Lack of Color to bring it all together. 

Whether you’re more of the “it’s-a-fake-holiday-created-by-greeting-card-companies” kind of person or you’re thrilled to fill your day with chocolate in every form, Valentine’s Day is coming up quickly. You might as well make the most of the day by doing it in your own style (and also gifting the lovies in your life with some extra treats). We’ve pulled together our favorite love-inspired looks that will be perfect for a Galentine’s night in with wine and movies, date night out, or anything else heart day brings your way.

Go Big or Go Home

Sequins aren’t just for ringing in the new year, especially when the sequins in question come in a stunning hot pink that’s ready to wow your Valentine. We love Pasadena Clogs from Free People for a more casual look that gives your dress the space to shine brightly.

Not only will the Daphne Pintuck Jumpsuit bring the sweetest romance for the holiday, but it’ll also become a quick favorite that you’ll love wearing all spring and summer. With that fitted waistline and flowy legs, you’ll get a showstopping silhouette ready for this Thursday-night celebration. Of course, while it’s still chilly out, you can’t leave the house without an extra layer. And once you see try on the Not Your Mom’s Faux-Fur Jacket, you’ll never want to leave the house in anything else.

There’s so much more to love about a matching top-and-bottom set, especially when that set features comfortable flowy pants and a striking crop top with flared sleeves. Make sure you save the big reveal of this stunner for your Valentine’s dinner, but once it’s been introduced into the world, you’ll have the best time mixing and matching these pieces with all of your other wardrobe favorites. Might we suggest the crop top with your favorite vintage jeans? Okay, yeah, we’re definitely suggesting that.

Keep it Chill

While we’re big proponents of taking any and all excuses to celebrate, we love a special night in, especially when it’s with our favorite ladies and our favorite cabernet (hey, it’s red so it fits the theme, right?). For a subtle nod to the reason for the sugar, we can’t get over how cute the Heart Fiona Long-Sleeve Tee from Spiritual Gangster is. In the name of versatility, this will also become a favorite that you can pair with leggings for a trip to the yoga studio or with some high-waisted shorts like The Cody Octopussy Shorts from Boyish once summer weather makes its way back.

Whenever you have an excuse to treat yourself, we vote you take it! The Scarlett Bucket Bag from Cleobella will keep you with the color scheme of the day (so no one can call you out on your all-black outfit), and will also become a new favorite with the bold spring color and vintage-inspired fringe detailing.

We’re all about the subtle-yet-not-so-subtle flair that these Hand-Beaded Chandelier Earrings from Allia will bring to your love-filled celebrations. And we’re even more about the fact that they mean you can stick with your preferred outfit of jeans and a comfy tee while still fulfilling your themed-outfit duties. Plus, why wouldn’t you want to add hearts to your outfit every single day? Once you try these on, you’ll probably start.

Valentine’s Treats 

The point of the holiday is all about love, right? So why not bring a little extra love with the Love Potion from Little Shop of Oils. This gemstone-infused essential oil blend has been cleansed under the full moon and crafted to boost your love life, whether you want some extra sparks with your honey or you give it to your favorite gals looking for love. And on top of all of that, it also smells delicious.

In case wearing your new favorite Love Potion wasn’t conjuring up enough in your romantic life, add the Love Spell Ritual Candle and you’ll find yourself with more suitors than you even know what to do with. Okay, maybe not, but it’ll make your cozy home even cozier, and any good vibes are always welcome.

And nothing could complete your look better than dewy, radiant skin. Check out some of the latest serums and lotions from Full Unicorn and get ready for the glow. 

Even if you try to stay away from buying into the whole Valentine’s gifts thing, you won’t be able to pass up showing your love in the cleverest of ways with a Valentine’s Day card. Our personal favorites? Well, the Pizza card from 417 Press really sums up our love for all things carbs, but the Best Friend with Benefits card is simply too cheeky to pass up.

From decorative geometric patterns to vivid, rich hues, these enchanting pieces are sure to stun. Made with natural materials and techniques from the Moroccan, Oaxacan, Guatemalen cultures, each piece has a unique story to tell. This line of bags and home decor will make you look twice. Here's why we're over the moon for the Moon Water Collection!

The Fashionably Broke Teacher, Lindsey Jednak, slaying oldbazaaristanbul's Feeling Love Pant and matching Crop Top!

What is a #MONTHLYMUSE?

As a fourth-grade teacher from Philly, Bohemian babe Lindsey Jednak has captured our hearts for the month of September. An inspiration in both the fashion scene and the classroom, she reflects good vibes and a Boho spirit. As “The Fashionably Broke Teacher,” Lindsey has opened up to us about how she balances her passion for fashion, an established blog and social media presence, her career, and life.

When did you first realize you wanted to pursue a career as a teacher?

I think I always knew I wanted to be a teacher, but the light bulb truly went on when I was in high school and we had our senior service day. I went back to my old elementary school and helped out in a 2nd grade classroom for the day. The kids were adorable and the energy in the classroom that day truly made me realize I had to follow the path of my sister and mom being a teacher. It's one of the most rewarding jobs I have every done and every day is an adventure!

Does your career have any influence on how you dress? 

My career as a teacher definitely has influenced my love of feminine dresses and skirts. I love how flattering they are and how fun it is to pair with different printed tops and booties. I also have a career that embraces fun and creativity, so I love bringing in trends into the classroom.

What role do you think social media plays in fashion today? 

I think social media has an important role to connect people and bring out body positivity and uniqueness. Fashion is all about expressing yourself no matter what profession you are in and I love that I can find my favorite styles to wear and see girls that I adore in the clothes, not just from magazines. It is also so amazing to see how different trends can be translated based on a person's personal style.

As the season is coming to a close, back-to-school time is quickly approaching. Any style tips on transitioning from summer to fall fashion?

I love layering! Strappy maxi dresses go perfect with a rock tee underneath or turtleneck. Booties and a summer floral dress is also perfection in the fall. I also adore wearing kimonos as a transitional piece over everything. The more the colorful print, the better!

Balancing work with personal life can get overwhelming. Do you have any advice for other working women out there? 

If you love something enough, you will find the time. Teaching and blogging can take up a lot of my time but I truly love them both so what I have found is if I stay organized and plan out your time I can do it!  I have also learned that is important to make time to wind down and disconnect. Communication is key in relationships and taking the time to just enjoy your time with who you are with is what will matter most in the end. Deadlines will get done, but that conversation and laugher with a good friend and not worrying about what is going on with your phone is the best feeling. 

Besides manifesting the opportunity to inspire, how else does teaching compare to fashion? In what ways do you inspire? 

I think I show my students that you can accomplish anything if you are yourself and work hard. I think in both industries it is so important to stay positive and be proud of what makes you unique.  I like to think I inspire my students daily to be their best and be a kind person in all that they do. In fashion, I love inspiring others to find their own personal style!

“Some women fear the fire.

Some women simply become it.”

From poolside to ocean side, make sure your kids are sporting the most fashionable gear this summer! Summer is rolling in, as is our anticipation to dress our littles in the freshest summer styles that won’t leave them feeling stuffy or uncomfortable. Read on for inspo that will have your littles looking and feeling cool!

Floral Print

Girly, sophisticated, and fun to match, floral print is a delightful way to celebrate the season. Welcome summer in with a colorful flower pattern, as seen on the Camilla Skirt by oldbazaaristanbul. 

Another floral piece we love is the Bloom Midi Skirt by Harlow Jade, below. Whether she’s blowing bubbles or chasing butterflies, she’ll be comfortable and covered in these vibrant skirts.

Animal Print

Animal prints in children’s fashion have spiked in popularity over the last couple seasons. Leopard print, especially, has made its presence with its mature yet playful feel – the perfect balance for your mini fashionista. Despite preconceived notions, animal prints can be versatile. Take a chance with the Wild Things Dress by oldbazaaristanbul!

Or, tone it down with the Leopard Camilla Skirt, also a fantastic piece by oldbazaaristanbul. With this skirt, your little one can still express their wild side while coupled with either a solid or graphic top, as pictured above.

Graphics

Youthful and fun, statement and graphic tees are cute on any boy or girl – not to mention, they are appropriate for most casual settings from the backyard bbq’s to theme parks. Get your hands on some bold graphics to match your child’s personality. Then, all you would have to do is throw on jeans or shorts to complete your little’s look. You can’t go wrong with the Big Sister Tee and the Best Big Bro Muscle Tee by Chaser Kids!

Paper Straw Hats

If your little one doesn’t already have a hat of his or her own, what are you waiting for? Not only do they make adorable accessories, adding extra flair to any outfit, but they help protect your child’s face from the sun. Alongside sunscreen, paper straw hats are the way to go. Shield against the summer rays with the Cowboy Sunhat or Tassel Cowgirl Sunhat by Snapper Rock!

Tassels

On-trend mamas know that tassels are in this summer! They’re festive and fancy. What’s not to love about tassels? They make any piece chic and summer-y. Watch them swing while she plays! Pair her smile with the Serena Dress, left, or the Kate Dress by Mer St. Barth, right.

From jumpsuits to dresses and everything in between, the many styles of summer have us ecstatic! Though it may seem like a challenge to don effortless outfits while feeling cool and still looking cute, you may find it easier with a one piece. Read on for some of our favorites!

The Maxi Dress

The versatility of maxi dresses makes it a summer staple. They’re great for pool parties or evening dinners by the shore. The full length elongates the body, giving the illusion of more height! Worn with sandals or dressed up with wedges, the Tropez Maxi by Show Me Your Mumu captures summer all in one piece with its blue palm leaves and pastel pink. The singular shoulder gives this dress a special summer flair.

Make the leather Mia Braid Strappy Sandals by Mia Shoes a summer essential! Thanks to its soft cushion insole, you can pair it with a maxi for maximum comfort.

The Asymmetrical Dress

Unique and seductive by nature, asymmetrical dresses have a certain aesthetic about them. They exude playfulness and charm with their fashionable cuts. Dare to be different yet flirtatious in a dress that shows a little bit of leg. Stylish is an understatement when describing the crimson Wispers Slip Dress by Cleobella, pictured left, and the intricate patchwork of the Stevie Dress by Tigerlily, pictured right.

The Midi Dress

The underrated midi dress deserves recognition this season! It’s not too long and not too short – ideal for showing off a cute pair of sandals and ankle wear. What we especially love about the Love You Midi Dress by Free People, pictured left, is the fit-and-flare shape, which makes the waist appear smaller. The cinch at the waist is a minor detail which makes a major difference, as it really flatters your figure. Another favorite of ours is the Edenia Midi Dress by Cleobella, featuring bold, colorful detail and a cut-out in the middle that says, “What better time than summer?”

Looking for an ankle piece to show off? The blue and gold beads of the In The Groove Anklet by Ettika will hypnotize you!

The Off-the-Shoulder Mini Dress

Anyone can rock this style of dress during warmer weather as it allows you to flash some shoulders and a fancy neck piece. Accessorizing has never been easier! Our favorites include the El Paso Dress by Tigerlily, pictured left, and the Can Can Dress by Show Me Your Mumu, pictured right.

Accessorizing has just been made even easier with the Juliet necklace by Ettika! Its layers speak for itself!

The Romper

Rompers are daunting without compromising comfort. They provide the right coverage for playing under the summer sun or striding the boardwalk. Cinching in at the waist, the romper suits all body types. We love the Rosa Romper by Spell & the Gypsy because of its fluttery sleeves and trim.

The Jumpsuit

Like the romper, the jumpsuit has that coverage ideal for movement. Its full length adds height while appearing put-together. Wear one to chilly beach bonfires or evening cruises. Jumpsuits are statement pieces meant for summer! Take the Sabine Onesie by Tigerlily, pictured left, for instance. Or, you can opt for a casually simplistic look with the Hamsa Jumper by Spiritual Gangster, which is nice for an active day with the kids.
