With her family's signature pattern on show from the guests, Italian fashion darling Margherita Missoni married her long-time beau, Eugenio Amos, in Brunello Italy yesterday. The bride looked whimsical, staying true to her bohemian style with silver sandals, and a bright bouquet and delicate headpiece. The dress spoke to her family's design aesthetic — original and creative — with an off-the-shoulder piece full of life and rufffles. The bridesmaids wore bright dresses and their own colourful veils, the smallest even sported one Margherita's signature fashion choices — the midriff top. Margherita is the eldest child of Angela Missoni, and her grandparents founded the iconic brand. Friends and family were in attendance, including the likes of Anna Dello Russo who tweeted a picture of her amazing outfit for Margherita's big day. Click through to see the beautiful pictures.

The Delevingne Sisters: Dressed Up vs. Dressed Down

Sisters, models and It girls Poppy and Cara Delevingne could be twins, but while at the Burberry Serpentine Summer Party in London yesterday we noticed a distinct difference between the blonde duo.

Sisters, models and It girls Poppy and Cara Delevingne could be twins, but while at the Burberry Serpentine Summer Party in London yesterday we noticed a distinct difference between the blonde duo. The face of Burberry beauty Cara opted for a matte foundation base with a subtle wash of colour over her cheekbones and mascara while her long, blonde hair was left flowing naturally. She also added a patterned head scarf — the perfect finishing touch to a natural, boho-inspired beauty look. Big sister Poppy worked a dressier style, opting to add styling product to her artfully dishevelled strands and a heavier makeup look, complete with black pencil eyeliner and mascara. Both stunning, no doubt, but which version of pared-back beauty do your prefer — dressed up or dressed down?

Fab Word of the Month: Gypset

For years, years, years, I've struggled to find a term when people ask me to describe my style.

For years, years, years, I've struggled to find a term when people ask me to describe my style. My wardrobe is filled with a schizophrenic mix of boho, designer, chain store, classic, sporty and man-style with the odd dash of quirky thrown in. I do however, always get drawn to the resort-side of dressing and have a forever growing selection of printed dresses, K. Jacques sandals and fine, stringy jewellery on high rotation. This is where journalist Julia Chaplin comes in. She coined the term 'gypset' for her book, Gypset Style, and quite frankly, she's hit the fashion nail on the head. Gypset stands for gypsy + jet set and applies to anyone who loves carefree boho-style with a healthy mix of luxe-eclectic cool thrown in. (If I could somehow provide you with a sample of the Gipsy Kings hit, Bamboleo, in the background right now to get you in the mood, I would). Think Talitha Getty, Jade Jagger and the recent Chanel Cruise '11 collection. Catching my vibe? I suggest you add this to your fashion dictionary and grab a kaftan (worn with diamonds), pronto!

2010 Milan Fashion Week: Top Ten Roberto Cavalli Looks

Who said boho was dead?
2010 Milan Fashion Week: Top Ten Roberto Cavalli Looks

Who said boho was dead? Roberto Cavalli showed it was very much alive for his Winter '10 collection, proving why he's been in the game for 40 years come October this year. The rich-hippie vibe that made up the range was filled with pieces we're all too familiar with—harem pants, shaggy fur, animal print and boho maxi-dresses, but that didn't make the collection seem any less inspiring.

A mainly neutral palette was given a boost with embellished trims, textured fabrics and animal prints, while fur and velvet were the cover-ups of choice. There was a distinct vintage-feel to some of the more faded prints and blush-tones, instantly updated with hippie-cool sandals and heels. You have to give it to Cavalli for making a somewhat tired trend seem fresh and exciting. Click through for our top ten faves.
