The Garden Gates Presents Fall 2011 Boho Chic Clothing by Johnny Was, 4 Love & Liberty

Aug. 9, 2011 - PRLog -- The Garden Gates of Metairie, LA not only carries the most exclusive home and decor available, they now also feature apparel and accessories.  Customers can find the latest trends in the bricks-and-mortar location in the New Orleans area, or they can conveniently shop online at www.thegardengates.com to find trends by Johnny Was, 4 Love & Liberty, ZOA and much more.  Many of these designers have addressed the vintage-inspired, trendy bohemian chic style.  

The boho chic look is effortless, casual, and a great way to express your creativity.  This relaxed, versatile style has a certain allure of vintage and is unconventional; it’s folk, hippie, punk and modern chic intermingled.  Casual denim, oversized blouses, prints, silk and layers with the right accessories will create a look that captures the laid back, California surfer-chic look that’s so coveted this season.  Looking for a muse?  Trendsetters are Sienna Miller, Kate Moss, Nicole Richie, Mischa Barton, Vanessa Hudgens, Rachel Zoe and AnnaLynne McCord.

Linen, cotton and other natural fabrics are quintessential bohemian.  Choose cuts that are billowy and loose-fitting with floral prints, embroidered or crochet details and have a nature-inspired vibe, such as the Johnny Was Dolman Tunic.  Select items that fit well but drape or flow.  This is a classic element of boho chic; many gypsy-inspired pieces are cut asymmetrically to achieve that distinct flowing appeal.  Layer different lengths, fits and textures for an effortless look, but remember to maintain balance.  Team patterns up with solid colors and add more volume and length with colorful sashes and long leather belts, such as the Kyrene Belt in Sasquatch Brown by Brave Beltworks.  Stick to earthy hues like the Johnny Was Almond Tie Waist Tunic.  Other great colors are black, brown, grey, gold, khaki and cream.  Accessorize with pops of color to add a bit of interest.  

When it comes to accessories, the more, the better.  Dangly earrings and necklaces, chunky bracelets, rings and bangles complete the hippie-ish romantic style.  The Garden Gates has a new line of fish scale flower rings and unique necklaces, such as the MC Creations Long Necklace with Coral Bead and Green Rose.  Choose this kind of nature-inspired jewelry or look for accessories made out of natural materials.  Feather charms, bangles and long earrings are hot this season.  Look for platform wedges, gladiator sandals, large sunglasses and oversized bags.  Balance the neutral colors in your wardrobe with vivid splashes of turquoise, green, gold and orange.  

Whether customers want a hot new fall look for 2011 or are looking for the finest in home decor, The Garden Gates has everything shoppers need to indulge their distinct tastes.  For questions, suggestions or for more information about clothing or any of the store’s other lines, call 877-780-6699 or log on to www.thegardengates.com.
