No sooner had we published our story on the season's Navajo trend did Nicole Richie emerge looking flawlessly chic in these Isabel Marant printed skinny jeans ($660), a darker version than what we featured in our story.
That said, did you check out our Navajo-inspired picks?

Roundup: Updated Navajo Style
FabSugar recently rounded up some Navajo print sweaters to keep you cozy this Winter season, and it's inspired me to look for updates on Southwestern styles for the home. Since the Navajo Nation spans through Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah, it makes sense that the designs that have originated from these Southwestern states have taken inspiration from traditional Navajo designs, including the tribe's famous blanket and rug designs. The popular look of kilims and dhurries are a close match to the Navajo designs, and many of the motifs are traveling in a much more modern direction, including the Nanook Chair ($700) from designer Philippe Bestenheider.

Trend Alert: Nuevo Navajo
It's cyclical. Especially for me. I think the fact that I re-obsess with it every few years means it's a part of my style DNA. With today's modern cuts and fresh details and yesteryears beads and colors, Navajo-esque style feels new again, aka nuevo Navajo. It doesn't take a road trip to New Mexico for me to whip out my beaded earrings and turquoise belt, but a big sky always inspires . . .
