Named after the uniquely shaped trees (which actually aren't trees at all), Joshua Tree is located inland in Southern California and offers a popular wilderness destination for hikers, rock climbers, photographers and nature lovers.
The Joshua Tree park is comprised of over 795,000 acres of land, which is bigger than the state of Rhode Island! So you may be asking, how could I possibly see this enormous park in one day?

Read MoreThe bohemian inspired fashion brand Free People has a very loyal following amongst women who gravitate towards a free spirited lifestyle. From long flowy maxi gowns to short mini dresses with statement sleeves, there’s a Free People ensemble for every occasion in life.
When I think about my boho-inspired wardrobe pieces hanging in my closet, they tend to be for the fun times in life. I wear them for vacations, home playing with my kids, special events like weddings and even just lounging at home. They are a departure from the stuffy office life which makes them extra fun to shop for.
I actually wore flowy maxi dresses from Free People (and Free People inspired brands) for the majority of the time when I was pregnant with my two kids. They were the only things that made me feel beautiful and comfortable at the same time. You can see my guide to baby bump friendly boho dresses here.
While Free People is shinning in the spotlight and stealing all the glory, there’s actually many other similar brands to Free People that do an equally as impressive job of creating whimsical bohemian wardrobe essentials that I promise you’ll love just as much.
In this blog post I will give you a wide spectrum of boho clothing brands that range from upscale designers to budget-friendly options. When shopping from top of the line brands, you can spend a bit more in high quality wardrobe investment pieces that you’ll wear year-after-year. If there’s a boho style trend that you’re wanting to test run before making a big commitment, opt for an economical low-cost alternative before spending a bit more on a single clothing item.
