When looking for road trip or festival outfit ideas, or just a bohemian inspired laid-back weekend look, I always turn to Alessandra Ambrosio for inspiration. She is such a free-spirit: neon colors, bold prints, cowboy boots, stacked bracelets and layered necklaces, along with her messy bedhead look and carefree attitude have become her signature.

Today, I featured two of her looks incorporated prints that are easy to recreate, perfect for hot weather and summer fun.

Juxtaposing girly dress against tough boots is not something new, but I like that by paying attention to details, Alessandra Ambrosio made this combo serve for different occasions:

For the first dress below with body-hugging silhouette and sweet colors, she picked a ladylike bag and styled her hair half up, with aviator sunglasses, gold watch, and dainty jewelry, the overall look is urban-bohemian, comfy yet sexy, great for a casual date, hanging out with friends, central city concert, or shopping.

Compared to the first look, the second one below with blue printed tunic dress is more casual and laid-back. Accessorized with fringe bag, tortoise sunglasses and beaded bracelet, this look is great for a road trip, out-of-town music festival, or beach vacation.

I'm Helen. In the huge fashion world, what attracts me the most is the way different people accessorize themselves. Our daily outfit choices are not just about the pieces we pick, they relate to something lurking deeply within our hearts: how we feel about ourselves, how we express ourselves to the rest of the world, what kind of people do we want to be and what kind of life do we want to live. Following my passion for fashion, I immerse myself in this bizarre world and try my best to share what I learned with you!
