Ohm Boho!

Ohm Boho Story

“I’ve been like a magpie since birth, loving all things pretty and shiny. Then as I grow up I began to travel more and more, never happier than when I have my home on my back in the form of a backpack, dirty feet from walking everywhere without shoes and my freckles develop out of nowhere and cover me head to toe. As I travelled I picked up more bits and pieces along my way, lapis lazuli bangle in Hampi, India, moonstone ring in Hikkaduwa, Sri Lanka, turquoise and onyx bangle in Bangkok, Thailand, shell bracelets in Gili Trawagan, Indonesia, brass and coral earrings in Hanoi, Vietnam, brass Ganesh necklace in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India and the list goes on and on. It got to the point of every city, town, village I went to I had to pick up a piece of jewellery as a token whether it small or big, cheap or expensive, Then I came home.... all my favourite styles of jewellery were either well out of my price range or on the other side of the world far out of my reach and so I created Ohm Boho.”

I absolutely adore everything on the Ohmboho site and if I could I would have the whole lot on there. Not only is everything beautiful but the site is set out in such a simple yet lovely way. I found it really easy to style these pieces because 90% of my clothes go so easily with this boho style!

As some of you may notice I love the colour green, so here are two of my favourite rings making this pretty obvious! I’ve got relatively small hands and even the smallest ring sizes I sometimes order are still too big. These rings are both easily adjustable so you can mix and match which fingers you want to wear them on with all your other jewellery too.

Small Forest Green Tibetan Ring

So, heres my most favourite item on the whole site:

Black Zamac Coin Necklace

This necklace compliments every item of clothing I own! If you have a simple outfit on that you want to dress up this instantly makes a statement. Or if you have an outfit with a lot of patterns and textures this will go perfectly.

I decided to wear organic shades to go with this beauty:

Swing Dress With Crochet Sleeves in Green by Glamorous

Tile Print Kimono With Tassel Trim by Glamorous

Rain Check Ankle Boots by Asos

OOTO Vibes!

OOTO stands for ‘Out Of The Ordinary’. Its extraordinary designs for the hard workers and grafters of society who embrace their wild side in their working hours and on weekends. They stand for the risk takers, money makers and rule breakers.

The versatility of most of these stunning pieces enables the OOTO girl to incorporate them into the many sides of her personality and lifestyle; OOTO do this by making every piece extremely comfortable and easy to wear. The idea is that the clothing isn’t just for festivals, but can also be worn over a pair of jeans or thrown on to brighten up your work outfit. It’s about looking out of the ordinary from average outfits you see in the work environment.

I asked OOTO’s creature to give me a little information about herself and how the company came together:

“My name is Corrie Davies I’m 25 and I am the designer and sole owner of my brand OOTO Clothing based in London but I’m always creating and designing as I go. Its one of the best aspects of working for yourself. I was feeling extremely restricted in the normal day-to-day of London life so in 2012 I set out on a nomadic adventure to feel inspired again. I was away for two years, travelling through Asia, India, Indonesia and Australia. During that time I was inspired by all of the fabrics, bold prints and colours, this pushed me to create my own collection that reflected my lifestyle. So I went back to Indonesia in January 2014 this year and got my first collection made.

I take inspiration from everywhere and travel is a big part of it. I don't create designs that I think people would buy, but things that I love and would get a lot of use out of. I also take a lot of inspiration from my own wardrobe, tweaking and changing things here and there from designs of the 70s and 90s, one of which is my wide legged ‘wideboy pants’ inspired by the 90s baggy trouser look. I believe in uniqueness and think there shouldn't be a uniform in the way people dress, it's an expression and it’s about looking different - don't be afraid to try something new and out of the ordinary to your normal style. I also believe in supporting small home factories and having a great relationship with them, this helps me and helps them in growing their business and supporting their local communities.”

“I want to get more creative with my designs and push the boundaries with bolder and more colourful designs, I’m planning a trip back to Bali in January to work with some other creatives, do lots of photoshoots whilst working on improving my website and preparing for next years UK festivals where I will be having a clothing stall.”

Hello beautiful people its Pixie again! So how awesome is Corrie? Not only is she an incredible designer she’s also an absolute sweatheart.

Anyway back to clothes, when I came across OOTO Clothing I instantly fell in love with the ‘My Patch Black Dungarees’. These were an instant want because they make you stand out, easy to style with everyday clothes and so so comfy. What I love most about them is I can just put them on with no thought and feel comfortable and confident. Being a mama this is a time saver thats really appreciated!

This wouldn’t have been styled by me if there wasn’t any pretty hippy jewellery too..

Moonstone ring Lost At Sea Jewellery

Blue stone shield ring Urban Angel

Moonchild shield ring & Citrine ring Luminoire

Now, when you stalk the OOTO site you’ll see a stunning collection of kimonos. I’ll probably end up purchasing them all but here's my first one!

This kimono is so easy to style up, just like pretty much everything on the OOTO site you can dress anything up or have it as casual as you like and still look great.

Here I’ve teamed this Paisley Kimono with:
Black Maxi Skirt from Asos
Black heeled buckle up boots from Riverisland
Black oversized lace tee from Asos
