The fashion Gods have spoken and bohemian hippy glamour and ‘70s style folk are back with a bang this season.  Gucci, Etro and Erin Featherstone were the designers leading the hippy craze.  Think embroidered blouses, paisley-print dresses, fluffy gilets, and tasselled and fringed accessories in spicy colours and you\'re there.

Embroidered tops are central to this look. This peasant girl version from Miss Selfridge is bang on trend and a bargain at only £35.

The gilet is back for autumn/winter \'08.  Snug sheepskin and fluffy faux-fur styles are the pick of the best for a ruggedly cool look.  Oasis\' fab Mongolian fur version is spot on.

To add just a smidge of folk to an outfit try some fringed accessories.  A slouchy tasselled handbag is a great place to start.  Try Evans to get the look.
