If your styling a boho look then it is all about the Jewellery. You can turn any plain t-shirt and jeans into a boho outfit with layered necklaces, bangles and earrings, but its also having the confidence to carry it off! To style this look layer everything, necklaces, (you can buy layered necklaces), bracelets and rings upon rings. Try hooped earrings, or antique looking styles. Tassels, wood and beading are also great boho styles.

Here are my picks from the shops.

​The kids and I ventured into the city to check out the Auckland Fair. Happening just twice a year, the Fair is the largest, exclusively handmade and curated market in New Zealand. With a mission to empower independent creative businesses from all over the country and bring their amazing and unique products direct to the public at Shed 10, Queens Wharf.

With over 100 unique handmade designer-maker businesses to choose from, you can shop from a selection of jewellery, art, prints, ceramics, clothing, kids toys, soaps, candles, cosmetics, homewares and more - all handmade and beautifully presented by the person behind the table. 

I went along to see what new jewellery and clothing designers there might be and I found a few delectable designers;

The next Auckland Fair is Sunday 4th December. For more information on the fair check out their website; Auckland Fair.
