GLAM DAMN IT Paisley by Stella McCartney
Trending: Crazy for Paisley

Paisley is this season's newest must-have print. The bohemian-inspired motif was seen all over the spring runways, including Emilio Pucci, Stella McCartney, and Jil Sander. And it's the perfect print to carry through to the autumn months.

It wasn't just the designers who had the print on their minds. Celebrities like Miranda Kerr and Solange Knowles have been seen rocking the droplet-shaped swirls in the form of shorts and dresses alike.

Go Gatsby: Roaring '20s Looks for 2012

With the upcoming film adaptation of The Great Gatsby, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan, a 1920s fashion revival is well on its way. The decade was all about opulence, decadence, and over-the-top everything. And the clothing was no exception.
