summer bells

by Karen Blanchard
15 May 2011
Floral bells: Shopcuff. (but these are my dream pair).  Top: H&M. A top more oversized like this would work. 
Old boots: Mens thrift. (if your not into thrift, these are a similar feel). Bag: LF. (fringe alternative or this). Hat: ASOS. Turquoise ring:  Brooklyn flea market.  Necklace: Urban Outfitters. Large silver talon ring: Studded & Stoned. Shades: Ray Ban
I’ve been looking at floral bell bottoms lately.  They’re light and less expected than denim flares (which I still love though).   These were cheap enough to road test till I find my favourites. 
Floral bells are perfect for summer festivals – must go to one or two this season. Anyone got any favourites in or around New York??

    Perfectly styled as always! You have really great hats… How does this one from Asos fits size wise. I have a tiny noggin so finding hats can be a challenge, but still my collection grows.

    I reckon it’s freakin brilliant how you kept the whole look simple and casual yet didn’t leave out subtle but compelling extras like the mineral necklace, the rings, and the fringe bag.

    I will definitely be rocking the oversized tee and flares look. I am not daring enough for floral ones, but I love my denim ones from Gap (and for $10). Great photos as well!

    I love these. I like that they have a flare but it’s not too large so it keeps it modern. The top works so well too. Not too big but certainly a comfy outfit. Love!

  35. Fashion Pirate says:

    That top is such a great little basic and works so well with the floral flares.
    Cool hat too 🙂

  38. Eva says:

    ahh your style is so cool, for real, it’s very bold and wonderful!

    The floral pants are great!

  40. Karen says:

    Ida – no unfortunately I only see this one on that site.

    Samantha – really? ZARA????

    Lisa Ann – my head is on the larger size but this fits ok : ) This is taking my hair into account too which is on the thicker side.

    I love that basic jumper, is that an oldie from H&M or something you can find in store now ??

    Love your blog, I always go in for inspiration and secretly wish I was a fashionable londoner in NYC, even though a swede in Glasgow is pretty great.
