Click on the slideshow above to preview seven feminine, bohemian, yet still quite modern looks from French Connection’s Spring 2012 collection. Refined, neutral-hued, tailored pants are sure to be a staple, while the color-blocked dresses and blouses are equally as wearable. Maxis and tunics reminiscent of Woodstock-like festivals are a fun blast from the past juxtaposed with classic white sheath dresses and lots o’denim. Don’t forget to check out the crossbody, satchel, and tote bags, each a perfect way to accessorize your look!

Crossbody Shoulder Bags Go Casual-Cool with Fringed Details (thefind Guest Post)

by

From our friends at thefind.com:

While the fringed look is not necessarily a new thing in recent times, it’s definitely having a more prominent moment in this current spring/summer season. Until now, I was adamantly not into it, no matter what the fringe was adorning (shoes, bags, vests, skirts — I just wasn’t feeling it)… I guess the whole concept was a bit too cowgirl for my taste. Now, I’m not quite sure what has me reconsidering suddenly, other than the recent influx of ridiculously cool crossbody bags, but for some reason the fringed handbag look is turning me into a convert! Maybe it’s the way they fit so snugly against your side yet still have that cool sense of fringe-y movement, or maybe I’ve just had time to adjust to the trend and have become desensitized to the whole Wild West look. Sure, fringe is still decidedly western, but somehow during the summer the trend gives off a more boho-chic flair that’s a little cooler than full-on cowboy! Either way, I’m diggin’ it!
