TRYING THE FLORAL BOHO DRESS TREND THIS FALL

It took me a bit of time to really come to terms with the flow that comes with a boho dress. For the past two years, I’ve seen that hipster/boho vibe trending but when it really came down to actually purchasing one, I just never did it. It hasn’t really been my go to. I’m more of a fit and flare type gal, myself. But darn it if I just wanted to push my limits just a bit, especially with more fall trends (like velvet) I’ve been aiming to try.

So this season, I took aim at a flowy swinging floral maxi dress by Chicwish. For a few different reasons, I think that this was a perfect match; a) the color, it’s a perfect fall burgundy & b) the fit, it nips just at the waist with an elastic waistband. Tell me what girl out there doesn’t want an elastic waistband with Thanksgiving (and the other fabulous eating-focused holidays) right around the corner?!?

A Few Tips for Finding that Perfect Boho Dress

1| think about length || I love that this dress is long and flowy in all the right places. I can wear it with heels and oxfords (like I’m wearing here). However, I am taking the boho dress to a tailor to bring it up just a few inches. One of the strongest recommendations I can give you ladies out there is to tailor, tailor, tailor when you finding something you like but it doesn’t fit exactly right. In this world of fast fashion and ready-to-wear, a tailor (read: your local dry cleaner can usually become your tailor) is your best fashion friend!

2 | color || what colors do you most resonate with? I think one of the reasons I held off for so long was I wasn’t drawn to the creamy shade of boho dresses. But when I saw this burgundy dress, I thought, why not?! It’s the perfect fall color, I don’t really have anything in that color, but I know I love it!

3 | cost || I’m not one to recommend spending over $100 on anything that isn’t a reallllly classic, wear for-ev-er piece when you’re buying something for the first time. This floral boho dress was all of $70 from Chicwish and when it arrived, the fabric was rich and felt really sturdy. I would say that’s a win win financially and I’ll be purchasing from this site again (I just actually bought this dress too!) soon.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
