Ikat is Taking Over the World

It seems that I can't escape Ikat prints lately...although I don't know if Ikat's following me, or I'm following Ikat; kind of like when you learn a new word then suddenly you hear it everywhere.

The first place I spotted the tribal-esque print was via the Bordered Bolts Skirt ($128) at Wayne's Anthropologie.

Looks like Anthro's really jumping on the Ikat bandwagon. They're offering the print through a number of products, like the Dynamic Ikat Bedding ($58-$268)...

...the Embroidered Ikat Shade ($128)...

...and the Wanderlust Ikat Journal ($28).

Here is Akiko's Belted Drape Tank Dress ($173), available at Revolve Clothing.  To quote Miley Cyrus, "It's pretty cool."

Naturally, I searched for ikat at J.Crew, and came across the Ikat Gathered Vest ($198).  I'm kind of surprised they aren't offering more by way of ikat; furthermore, the vest seems like a risky incarnation for the print, when they could have just capitalized off the trend via a scarf or something.

J.Crew Factory is offering the Printed Sylvie Skirt ($49.50 on sale), which kinda looks ikat-like.

Here is Juicy Couture's Ikat Print Scarf ($68).  Meh, I kinda like the print better when it's in more vibrant colors.

Ann Taylor Loft's Tribal Ikat Shorts ($39.99 on sale) would look really cute paired with espadrilles or booties like the model's wearing.

I even came across an ikat print prom dress in Shoshanna's "Bali" Ikat Printed Maxi Dress ($430)!   

It's listed under "Prom" at Bloomingdale's, but I think it'd look cute as a fancy summer dress.  Although I have no idea where anyone would wear it.

I love these women's Obsorn Ikat Oxfords ($148), available via UrbanOutfitters.com.

Oooh!  I'm really loving Urban Outfitters' Indigo Ikat Slipper Chair ($329).  Very West Elm.
