The Spring Gypsy Junkies Collection

One of the L.A. Fashion Week events on my must-attend list was the Gypsy Junkies spring presentation at Drai's in Hollywood. Having seen a peek of the spring collection at their colorful MAGIC booth, I couldn't wait to see more. Given the breezy silhouettes and the relaxed, bohemian vibe of the L.A.-based brand's clothing, it's no surprise that by the time the show started, the venue was filled to capacity.

Fortunately, I arrived early and was able to enjoy the warm weather by the poolside runway while staking out a place for photos. I'm wearing a Jennifer Lopez velvet top, Simply Vera Vera Wang jeans, and Wild Pair heels (similar).

The Gypsy Junkies spring collection fused psychedelic prints in electric colors with breezy maxis and flirty blouses. Many of the models sported bohemian braids, feather headbands, and lipstick in unexpected shades of magenta and blue. Sheer fabrics that beg to be layered were styled with hippie-chic vests, blazers, and carefree kimonos. Although it's hard to choose one favorite, my top pick from the collection is the pink maxi skirt below; it's perfect for poolside afternoons, days at the beach, and spring music festivals. Given my love for fringe and bright prints, I can easily imagine wearing many of these pieces. Designer Marcus Paglialonga and his creative team knows what girls really want to wear -  comfortable and colorful clothing that blends well with the casual California lifestyle that so many of the brand's fans adore.

First off, I am SO bummed I didn't get to meet you! Next time I want to go with you b/c apparently I didn't go through the proper channels and showing up 1.5 hours early is not early enough :( I also have to compliment you on your summary of the show. Your words were so skillfully crafted and I almost didn't even want to write my own... Well done, I want to steal all your photos and your words. Please take me under your wing and tell me all your secrets ;)
