Jetset + Gypsy

Jetset + Gypsy = Gypset Style
A timeless bohemian allure, think Talitha Getty on a Morroccan roof and Jade Jagger sunning on the shores of Ibiza

After a most glorious holiday and a week away from work, it's time to get back into the swing of things and get re-focused and re-inspired. And what can lift those back-to-work spirits more then gifting oneself with a new tome? Don't get me wrong all my fine friends and family out there who recently so graciously gifted me with a new book, I greatly adore them all. In my thoughts a girl can never have too many things to read and right now I'm feeling rather like a bon vivant, full of fancy-free attitude and boho luxe style. As my grandmother always says Che Sera Sera! So in the next few days I'll eagerly be anticipating the arrival of my latest purchase, Gypset Style by Julia Chaplin. My stylish Deux Luxe partner BH posted about this treasure of a tome back when it first launched, and now that I'll have a copy of my own I'm envisioning some friendly gypset inspiration between her and I. Wonder who'll be the more daring one to adventure a turban? Here are a few pictorial excerpts from the book and a few added inspirations to help hold us over until the real deal arrives. -KL
