I think i'd have to agree that the whole boho thing did get a bit too much which is why a lot of people are put off it. That said, when I was wondering around Portobello Rd last week there were still plenty of outfits about that had the boho edge and lots of them looked really cool. They were more individual and less manufactured though, which I think may be the difference. Lots of vintage - e.g. vintage dresses with tights and vintage boots, lots of funky jewellery, cute shirts with jeans, etc.
But as for the mainstream, it appears to have moved more to tailored and structured looks. Though lace, broderie and crochet will still be big come summer, it will be in a softer, more feminine way IMO... :)
