Dress Boho-chic like the "Eastwick" Stars

Wednesday, November 04, 2009

ABC's new fall show "Eastwick" is the story of three very different women who discover they have some bewitching talents they never knew they had. They meet in the seaside village of Eastwick where they unleash their supernatural powers. They may be witches, but they don't dress in black. The stars of this comedic drama have revived a fashion trend known as Boho-Chic, says Alison Deyette, stylist for TJ Maxx.

You can recreate this look in several different ways, Alison says. Layering is key to the sought-after Boho look. Break out your inner Bohemian and mix and match your boots with leggings and a colorful, belted cardigan for the ultimate bohemian foundation. Add whimsical accessories such as leather headbands, stacked bracelets or layered necklaces to bring out all together.

"Bohemian" refers to a stereotypical way of life for artists and intellectuals, Alison explains. The lifestyle is rooted in the American "beat" movement of the 50s. Members of the movement, beatniks, rejected conventional middle-class values and embraced radical and exotic customs. "Bohemian" stands for a free-thinking, free-being philosophy that favors unconventional habits and clothing, she continues. In the past, bohemians often wore out-of-date, unfashionable clothing that defied mainstream fashion trends. This grew into a widespread embrace of haphazard mixes of colors and fabrics by many artists. Now, the Boho look is a perfect balance of intentional messiness, artistic creativity and vintage chic.

Boho-chic is a style of female fashion drawing on various bohemian and hippie influences, Alison adds. The Boho look is all about creativity giving the person who wears it the freedom to layer fabrics, mix prints and fearlessly accessorize, she say. It can associated with many popular stars and idols of today like actresses Sienna Miller Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, model Kate Moss and Nicole Richie. The newest resurgence of the look has come about through the new ABC primetime show "Eastwick" where the bewitching characters all sport this style with ease.
