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: 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.
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.

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.
Paris Fashion Week Spring 2008, Kenzo: Love It or Hate It?
If the house of Kenzo knows one thing it's color. Ok, two things, prints too. While nearly everyone has attempted their hand at color and prints for Spring, this sequin dress was pure delight when my eyes met it.
The Bag To Have: Mayle Jeanne Bag
Many people outspokenly condemn "It" bags. That's because trendy bags have a very short arm life. Don't get me wrong, designer purses have their place — I'm guilty of owning a few myself — but there's nothing better than paying a hefty price for a bag and being able to use it for a lifetime.
J.Crew Talitha Patchwork Dress: Love It or Hate It?
I am not a huge fan of patchwork on clothing. It just reminds me too much of wearing a quilt - no offense to quilts! I am, however, a fan of maxi dresses, which is why I am torn about this J.Crew Talitha Patchwork Dress, $500, brought to my attention by SaraSmile.
Trend Alert: Patchwork
There is such a thing as fashion folklore. Patchwork delivers a dose of old world craft. But I don't know if grandma could have made you these modern patchwork items.
