Boho Blocking

So as the summer is moving on we are starting to feel a distinct boho feel in the world of fashion. With brands such as Missoni and Proenza Schouler offering bold flowery prints in floaty chiffon-esque fabrics there is plenty of choice for those so inclined. Along with this floaty fashion is the trend I like to call boho blocking.  A boho block is a distinct hairstyle that consists of a messy long block fringe with long or short wavy, slightly beach-esque hair. Pioneers of this style are Freja Beha Erichsen and Alexa Chung:




I really love this style as it is so effortless and gives the wearer that fashionably laid back appearance, another obvious pro is that it is so easily managed (especially is you have naturally wavy hair!).Other followers of this style are: Daisy Lowe (Model), Karmen Pedaru (Model) and, last but not least, me!...


Now the jury is up on this one...it has gained some rather strong dislike from my mother who thinks the contrast between the long and short is too much. I however tend to disagree and like the effortlessness of it! Opinions welcome!
