The London Lookbook: Bohemian Beauty 

Rosa Hoskins

The London Lookbook Your Coffee Break

I have always fancied myself as a bit of a bohemian, I feel that as a writer and actress I fit the bill as a free-spirited creative. However, I’m too tightly wound to be a real flower-child. For example, I can’t abide music festivals which is a shame because I love live music. The heaving crowds, rivers of mud and squalid portaloos all make me very uncomfortable. The thought of camping brings me out in a stress rash. I suffer from mild OCD when it comes to cleanliness and such intimacy with dirt won’t do at all.

Alas, my uptight tendencies exclude me from wafting around with genuine bohemian ease. I’ll have to content instead myself by wearing this vintage gem that I found on Ebay. I got into an aggressive bidding war over this piece because its has a Valentino SS14 vibe. It looks the business with pool sliders, or as I’ve styled it here with high heels.
