Does Hippie Heaven Mesh with Bohemian Beauty?

Yes? No? Who knows. . . But it'd be a clear joke to deny that the two hottest things right now are past and present. Pair a beat-to-hell pair of jeans like the Diesel Distressed pair below with a Fourtys top, much like the one to the right. . . Slap on some cork-heeled wedges and you're the next big thing.

Who really understands the reasoning behind the decade-catering generation of today? One minute mullets, neon and hi-tops are the only things you need to be caught wearing, and the next minute - you'd better be wearing khaki and love beads or you're out of the shopping crew!

The one thing that striked me most about this new craze is the gigantic price tags attached to these threads of "peace and love." What's that about? A $90 top and $120 jeans (with holes!) definitely won't make me feel anymore peaceful. How about we grab a pair of Levi's, brush 'em with some steel-wool pads in a couple places, and hop over to Target for a plain camisole?


That wasn't so hard, was it?
