How to find a look thats for you?

Ever look at models in a magazine with a particular look i.e. Abbey Lee's Boho. Well if you're looking for one to suit you then follow my advice. 

After some time of finding a look for myself. I've decided I have a retro inspired boho look. 

1. Look at you're face in the mirror.

Identify you're facial features, google them individually and you'll get images of icons and fictional characters with those features. I.e. if you have a doll like face images of Lily Cole and Gemma Ward may appear. I found that my face was similar to vintage stars such as Bridget Bardot and the musician   Michelle Phillips. I also found it was slightly similar to the modern model Lara Stone. But don't get too carried away with comparing yourself to others you don't want to end up self conscious! 

2. Link you're hair with you're face.

Have you got lots of curly hair that makes you're face look dainty or straight hair that makes you're face stand out? My hair is naturally straight, its also long. When long and let loose I feel that I look very Bohemian. Whereas if I backcomb it to a beehive I see myself looking very much like a retro movie star. Play around with you're hair,  if you put it into a plait you may look like a cute schoolgirl or the female heroine from a piece of Medieval Fantasy literature. 

3. Love you're body the way it is. 

If you're petite (naturally slim and under 5 ft 4) then you can look dainty, if you're around 5 ft 5 and curvaceous (like myself) you can look voluptuous, if you're tall and naturally slim then you can look very graceful whereas if you're tall and slightly stocky you can look very strong willed. The important thing is love you're body no matter you're size and height. 

4. Think about you're lifestyle?

Are you a city chic who travels on the bus everyday wearing you're favourite beret, a country girl who rides horses everyday in a pair of nice jeans or someone who lives near the beach and is forever wearing beach clothing. I live in a town which is a 45 minute train journey from London, and I spend half of my time on the Isle of Wight. Because I've always lived quite close to London, and I've always lived in towns with lots of lovely shops I feel very much like an urban chic.

5. What are you're interests? 

I may have a retro boho inspired look outside but what rally helps is that inside my brain I have interests that are related to it. I love the sort of music boho people in the 1960s would've listened to - The Beatles, Jefferson Airplane, Mamas & Papas etc. I'm also a very creative person - hence my stories and artwork which Bohemian people tend to be. I love vintage things which helps the fact that I have a retro inspired look.

For example if you love heavy metal music and love dark literature then you could consider yourself a heavy rock goth. 

6. Add up everything you've just found out and come up with a cool interesting name.

Be happy with yourself but don't be narcissistic about you're look. Make sure its cool but in a friendly way so that others may become inspired.
