boho chic

A fashion trend that is part bohemian and part chic. It is tied to the vintage phenomenom in fashion where the trend was to bring back vintage styles for the modern era. Boho chic combines organic, colorful, detailed, folk-inspired pieces with simple, modern pieces. An example would be wearing a beaded peasant dress with a white tanktop.

The trend is said to have been started by actress Sienna Miller in 2005. She wore bohemian-style clothing in the movie Alfie and continued to sport the garb regularly in London. People began to imitate this style, and fashion designers took notice.
Boho chic may be hot now, but it'll be dead by 2007.

History: The first spamorama appeared in the Discussion Forum at Guitar Tab Universe's user bulletin board.
Isn't it kind of pathetic that 99% of your posts are in the spamorama?
