I was recently asked by Westfield if I wanted to take part in a blogger style challenge. As part of the challenge bloggers were asked to shop a complete summer trend for under $200.

The choices were from Colour Blocking, Monochrome, Safari Prints, Stripes or 70's inspired Boho. I chose to shop for a boho look, inspired by the boho queen Isabel Lucas! I love Isabel's casual boho style, I wanted to see if I could achieve something similar but still me. I also really love all the crystal jewellery around right now, so boho was my obvious choice. It also suits the Queensland weather well!

Red & Orange cotton dress $45, Amethyst Ring $25, Agate Ring $12 - Tree of Life

Coral Sandals $49.95 - Novo

Crochet Tank $39.95 - City Beach

I met up with the Westfield Insider, Alyce for an afternoon of shopping. It was so much fun! Alyce took me through some of the key pieces for achieving a boho look, and I never would of thought to look in Tree Of Life! But Alyce showed me the treasures that can be found there!

I was doubtful I could achieve a whole outfit for under $200, sometimes I can spend that all on one piece... but I actually came in under budget. I looked at buying some bangles with the last of the money, but I had a bunch at home already from my trip to India, so styled the outfit with those.
