Paisley & Print's on the Runway

So, this summer it's all about pattern clashing! Paisley and other William Morris style prints have been making an appearance, including some other very bold yet gorgeous patterns from Prada & Stella McCartney! Which i absolutely adore, i think Paisley has always been timeless and i think it adds a kind of Pride & Prejudice sophistication. It's an elegant and almost higher class pattern. I've seen a few instances of Paisley working it's way onto the high street:

For example this lace & paisley tee from Topshop - £24 and an absolutely gorgeous find, complete with detailed cut out lace collar and a sheer metallic overlay (- which is also very popular!)

Also this Mink Pink, Empire Line casual dress in softer, warmer Fall colours, such as dusky pinks and oranges that I found on ASOS although a little steeper at £52 it's perfect for those summer BBQ's, cocktails out with the girls or a relaxed Autumnal get together with friends, wear with sandals, tights or wedges depending on what look you want to give it. You could also add a silver/rose gold thick, band necklace to add a little minimalistic elegance for an evening out.
