dreams. A magazine centered around a lifestyle that I live and that I am su-
per passionate about.

13. HOW TO LOOK
10 EXCLUSIVE STYLE TIPS
Bohemian style, now referred
to as “boho chic”, has come
down through history, reappear-
ing as beatnik style and in the
hippie culture of the 1960s. The
bohemians as a counterculture,
appeared in France after the
French Revolution. This cul-
ture began when artists were de-
prived of a system, where
wealthy clients bought works of
art. Artists were then plunged in-
to poverty, which really started
the bohemian movement.
Many artists took up a nomadic
life style, lived cheaply and wore
unconventional clothing. Bohe-
mian style evolved into a cult of
the individual; a person whose
very appearance became a work
of art with creatively planned
outfits and accessories. The word
“bohemian” suggested a sense
of arcane enlightenment, sexual
freedom, and spiritual nesting.
Today, bohemians stand out in
crowds representing a colorful
counterculture based on crea-
tivity, freedom, and an indif-
ference to social structures and
traditions. The present-day bo-
hemian girl represents a free
spirit, who is well-cultured,
loves to travel, and is known as
adventurous because of her
clothing choices and her life-
style.

Bohemian Lifestyle Q & A
by Destani Gourdine
Advice Column:
Q Dear Destani: What is
modern day bohemian culture?
What does mean to live a bohe-
mian lifestyle in today? _K.B.,
Bridgewater, NJ.
Dear K.B.: Great question! In
modern usage “ Bohemian” de-
scribes any person who lives an
unconventional artistic life.,
where self expression is the
highest value: ( art, acting,
painting, poetry, writing, danc-
ing , singing and etc.) are all
central parts of bohemian life-
styles. A bohemian lifestyle gen-
erally involves freedom from so-
cial restraints, explaining why
most bohemians are non-
conformists.
Q Dear Destani: Random
question but have you eaten any
“traditional” bohemian meals?
If so which one and would you
recommend it? _S.J., Buffalo,
NY.
Dear S.J.: Bring on the ran-
domness! I’m a huge foodie, so
this is really fun to answer .
Yes! I have tried a couple of
traditional bohemian meals,
but my ultimate favorite is the
bohemian platter in “Central
Prague” Europe. This platter
consists of roast duck and
pork, beer sausage, smoked
meat, red and white cabbage,
bread, bacon and potato
dumplings. This is a well
known bohemian recipe and it
is delicious.
Q Dear Destani: What do
you consider modern bohe-
mian style? _N.M., Philadelph-
ia, PA.15
21. Dear N.M.: To me, modern
bohemian fashion is all about
incorporating your modern
day style with traditional bo-
hemian elements such as
( loose flowing clothing, less
restrictive garments and lots
of layering). Your modern day
outfit should include a pop of
traditional boho, which will
make it edgy along with being
Q Dear Destani: What are
the best places to find nice,
bohemian clothes at a low to
moderate price point? _ C.T.,
Pittsburg, PA.
Dear C.T.: Good question!
With the emerge of fast afford-
able fashion and online shop-
ping, you can pretty much find
bohemian clothes anywhere
for reasonable prices. A few of
my favorite online stores that
have great prices and a wide
selection of bohemian styles
are Milanoo.com, Shein.com,
and Venus.com. I recently just
bought 3 tops and a dress from
Shein.com for a total of 65 dol-
lars. This store offers a lot of
promotions and deals, that re-
ally help you budget your
spending. Definitely check
them out and I hope this was
helpful.
