We love...the Boho chic

There is a lot to be said for lost generations. The music, the culture and the fashion. Thankfully this season is all about the boho or bohemian trend and with it, recapturing the 60s and 70s flower power and vintage style in a classy modern way.

The best thing about it: It's so simple to accomplish. There is no need to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe - all you need are a couple of key pieces and you'll have a trendy new wardrobe in no time at all. You may even have some of the stuff already, which means glam up with those accessories and get out in that summer sun.

First rule for the Boho trend is find yourself a good jumpsuit. Something versatile that you can get plenty of wear out of but still vary the way you can style a look. This peach retro jumpsuit is a topshop classic at £60. It has everything you need for a Boho summer. Either wear casual with a plain tee underneath or glam up with chunky heals and some bling for the evening.

Perfect for a meak british summer or a special holiday abroad.

Get those legs on show with this River Island retro dungaree outfit. Perfect for this time of year...Wear with a tee and throw on a loose weave knit top and you've got the perfect boho outfit. Only £35 too, so a real retro bargain.

Why not go all out for this season's hottest trend with this stunning boho maxi. Team this with some chunky sandals and some wooden bangles and you have a simple outfit that will fit any occassion this summer.

Only £27 from Asos.

Look no further than the A-lister for inspiration as to how to achieve this look. The hair, the accessories, the outfits...they're all there. Just pick your face and you'll look just as fab.

Here are some accessories and fashionistas we're loving...

Misha Barton: Get this natural hair look by either leaving hair to dry naturally after washing or getting your favourite volumising product and scrunching the ends to get this free style.

It's all about the head gear as Nicole Richie is demonstrating. The right piece can not only lift an outfit but compliment your face shape and makeup, so give it some thought.
