In this scene, my eye was first drawn to the damask upholstery in this carriage, but it soon wandered to the paisley pattern on Jane's shawl. Paisley is infinitely adaptable, and many of the modern interpretations of the pattern feature a Read more

It's not only Yours Truly who has a thing for the comma-esque shape: paisley is one of the most recognized patterns in the world, and has been for some time. Paisley originated in Persia and India in the 17th century and is still widely popular Read more
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. My advice? Go for unusual color combinations and updated, Read more

Paisley print can be dorky, but both famous Kates — Hudson and Bosworth — show us that it doesn't have to be. Not only does Kate not look dorky here, she oozes sophisticated cool in her black and white tonal pretty paisley sheath. The best quality about paisley is that it comes in all sizes and colors, so it's not an alienating trend like, say, sheer. Dorky? Pssh. Pretty. Shop This Look Read more
