Trend Alert: Poppin' Patchwork
Clothed or bathed, Bar Refaeli is on my radar. Here she is posing in front of her dedicated Sports Illustrated jet wearing a poppin' patchwork leather jacket. I did some investigating and there's lots of cool patchwork prints right now.
Trend Alert: Perfectly Modern Patchwork
I have plenty of love for patchwork quilts. But my beloved quilts are going to start having patchwork envy if they get a load of these goods. After breaking free of the blanket, patchwork pieces and patterns are making their way onto all sorts of modern furniture silhouettes.
Trend Alert: Patchwork Party
Come on everyone, it's time to join the patchwork party. This homespun look offers a fresh approach to hippie-inspired DIY using a hodgepodge of colorful tones and textures. Whitney Port is all legs in her country-inspired patchwork dress, seen left.
Casa Shops: Squint
I've told you about patchwork chair makeovers and facelifts for the Egg chair, but by far, my favorite patchwork reupholsterer is the iconic and eccentric East London company Squint. Started by sculptor and painter Lisa Whatmough just three years ago, the company has grown by leaps and bounds, and now has a full range of items, from chairs and chaises to pendant lamps and mirrors.

The Look for Less: Dolce & Gabbana Patchwork Snakeskin Bag
When I came across this Dolce & Gabbana Patchwork Snakeskin Bag ($3,995), I thought there could be no comparison. The colorful patchwork is nothing short of a masterpiece — worthy of being toted by Beyonce — but the heavy price left me hopeless and searching for something cheaper.

Inspired: Patchwork and Paislies Scarf
FabSugar recently issued a Trend Alert on modern patchwork in fashion. I've been noticing this same trend in the home world as well. Since it's easy to err on the side of hippie excess, I advise starting slowly with this trend, and then gradually adding more accessories if you like the way patchwork or paisley accents update your home.
Trend Alert: Patch Me Up
This ain't your grandma's patchwork. Modern patchwork on tops, dresses, bags and shoes, is spreading hippie love wherever it goes. Who knew Hilary Duff was such a flower child?
The Look For Less: Miu Miu Patchwork Leather Tote
There's hippie patchwork and then there's luxury patchwork. Clearly, this Miu Miu Patchwork Leather Tote ($1,445) fits in the latter category. Whitney Port has the metallic version, but for those who'd rather not spend a ton, I tracked down a less-expensive version.
March Shopping Madness: Hippie Luxe
You don't have to smoke herb or fantasize about Woodstock to appreciate hippie luxe bags. In fact, as Valentino (left) proves, just because it's hippie doesn't mean it's not posh! This style is down-to-earth and often incorporate fringe or patchwork.
Latico Leathers Patchwork Laptop Bag: Love or Leave?
I like to think I have laptop bags that blend well with my wardrobe. Since I wear a variety of colors and patterns, I usually stick with basic black or brown bags. Having said that, I don't think I could sport this Latico Leathers Patchwork Laptop Bag ($121) — too many colors, too much going on.
