What goes around comes around and, with all the Boho fashions filling the stores, it looks like the summer of love is here again. But, the look is more than just embroidery, appliqués and tie-dye — it’s an attitude, a way of life. It’s peace, love and rock-n-roll, baby, and its all eco friendly clothes and accessories. Not sure if this is the look for you? Try it! All we are saying…is give these a chance.
Alex and Ani “Peace Love and Soul” Expandable Ring Set
Let your hands do the talking with these beautifully delicate rings from Alex and Ani. The unique design features three expandable wire rings with dangling charms, crafted from gold plated recycled metal. The sweet and subtle charms bear the words “peace,” “love” and “soul” to remind you of what’s really important. $38 at www.shopbop.com.
Betty Belts “Talia”
Give any outfit a Boho touch with a handmade beaded belt. More than an accessory, the Talia from Betty Belts is a work of art. Turquoise and brown polished ceramic stones and recycled glass beads are fastened with braided vegan leather ties. What better way to hold up your bell bottoms? $32 at www.bettybelts.com.
Birkenstock Silver Birko-Flor “Gizeh”
C’mon — you know we can’t talk Boho without Birkenstocks. They are the shoe of choice for any self-respecting hippie. Even top designers like Michael Kors have created versions of this staple, but people just keep going back to the original. Why? Maybe it’s because Birks are eco friendly with their felt fibers, jute and cork. Or maybe, it’s the addition of more trendy cool colors like this silver metallic version. Whatever the reason, you can’t beat ‘em, so you may as well join ‘em. $79.95 at www.birkenstockusa.com.
Burning Torch “Mauritius” Dress
So sweet for summer, this sleeveless recycled cotton embroidered dress is a throwback to 70s chic. The tie at neck just adds to the charm and the accompanying hot pink slip adds to the value. $304 at www.burningtorchboutique.com.
These vintage sunglasses may be one of our all time favorite finds. The brown tinted lenses and the oversized heart shape are total 70s movie star. All you need are some tight Jordache jeans, Bonnie Bell Lip Smackers and you are ready for your close up. Hurry and get yours because quantities are limited. $25 at www.ecocitizenonline.com.
We love this floor-length dress from EDUN. Not a true tie-dye,but not your traditional print either, the empire waist fits and flatters with a criss cross bust. Made from 100% silk charmeuse, this dress will keep you feeling as cool as you look. ON SALE for $275 (originally $375) at www.edunonline.com.
Gypsy 05 “Jordan” Long
Shoulderless Dress
We are madly in love with this flowing, feminine tie-dye dress from Gypsy05. The striking 100% silk shoulderless dress will turn heads — we promise. It has a drawstring banded waist, so you get soft silk, high style and comfort. We think that’s groovy! $209 at www.gypsy05.com.
MamaOm “Colori”
Messenger Bag
Marcia, Marcia, Marica — can’t you just picture this colorful messenger bag slung over Marcia Brady’s shoulder? She would love all the interior pockets for her hairbrushes, combs and Davy Jones tickets. Mrs. Brady would be jealous of the beautiful hand embroidery done by South African artisans — kind of puts her needlepoint to shame. Also functions as a diaper bag. $220 at www.nimli.com.

Mata Traders Peasant Blouse
There is something so alluring about a peasant blouse. Maybe, it’s the sheerness or the way it whispers, rather than screams, sexiness. We like these one-of-a-kind versions, made from a recycled silk/sari material. Wear them alone or over a tank for more coverage. $30 at www.verdessence.com.
