Trend Alert: Patterns from NYFW 2013

Fashion Week is coming to an end, but I've been catching up on the runway looks from the comfort of my own room. I've been noticing some trends (which you'll see in my following posts), but one of my favorites is patterns. My favorite patterns designer from this past week was by far Mara Hoffman (photos above). I loved all the mixed colors and tribal prints and I would wear any of those pieces in a heartbeat! 

Other patterns designers included Carolina Herrera, Nicole Miller, Tanya Taylor and Vivienne Tam. Check out some patterned highlights from their runway shows below!

Currently Trending: Chevron Print

I've seen it everywhere, from cute dresses, to painted walls, to pillows, accessories, iPhone cases, and everything in between. The pattern that everyone is loving right now? Chevron.This zig-zag design started becoming extremely popular last year, and it's presence has only escalated since then. Chevron is a pattern that can immediately make any outfit fun, and it looks great on nearly everyone. It's a nice, slight change from the predictable stripes, and totally on trend right now. In fact, I deemed it one of the most popular fashion trends of 2012. Check out the article here. 

One of my favorite chevron pieces is a black and gold chevron dress that I wear for football tailgates. I also have a chevron cover for my iPad, and my business cards have a chevron border!

Do you own a lot of chevron? Are you loving this trend?
