A little while back, Society6 added a very exciting item to their ever-growing catalog of digitally printed products: leggings. With all of the success and momentum behind printed textiles in both fashion and active wear, and with design-it-yourself sites like Print All Over Me popping up, it just made sense for an artist community like Society6 to add something like this to their menu.
And after having a chance to order a few for my own examination, I’m ready to shout about it from the rooftops!
First of all, they are super comfy. I am a big fan of the extra wide waistband, and the weight of the fabric is substantial enough to make me feel confident about not showing off all my assets while bending over in yoga class (let’s be honest, I don’t really do much yoga). Not only is the fit and overall garment construction top notch, but the printing quality actually exceeded my expectation, both in the clarity of the artwork as well as the color depth and saturation.
If you need further convincing about how great these leggings are, can I just remind you where they are made? Right here in the United States! And priced just under $40 a pair, I’m not sure you will find a better or more affordable selection of graphic leggings manufactured in the USA.
So support a working artist, support the local economy, and perhaps most of all – support your butt. I promise you’ll look good doing it. Be sure to check out the full selection of Aaryn West leggings on our Society6 page. Go. See. BUY.

I’m extremely excited to present my new venture into the world of children’s clothing, Watermelon Moon. It’s a boutique collection of casual styles featuring bold prints hand-picked exclusively from the Aaryn West collection. All garments are made with super-soft, 100% organic cotton, and produced locally in Los Angeles, CA. My goal is to bring forth a collection that is altogether sophisticated and youthful, stylish and sustainable.

Once again, Rachel of My Fair Vanity has undertaken the great task of featuring hundreds of ultra stylish, eco-friendly products in her second annual holiday Gift Guide. And once again, I am tickled pink to have been asked to contribute with a few of my favorite gifts for the color lover in your life. This year’s edition has all kinds of helpful guides to help ensure you match up the right gift with the people, from sustainable beauty products to uber-cute baby gear, and even a selection for the tree-hugging nature lovers you know.
Every single item shown has been selected for it’s status as one or more of the following: made in the USA, fair trade, organic, handmade, made in Europe, upcycled/recycled. It’s now easier than ever to gift something that is kind to the Earth and the people living on it. It’s just another reason to feel warm and fuzzy this holiday season.
And last but not least, that is indeed an Aaryn West print on the gilded Gift Guide cover. A big thank you goes out to Rachel for including me in what is becoming a great holiday tradition!
Happy Cyber Monday, Friends! For those abroad, perhaps it was just like any other weekend – but for us in the US it was most likely a festive weekend spent eating (too much), shopping (hopefully with small businesses), and perhaps even some decking of said halls. And with today being the busiest online shopping day of the entire year, we thought it would be the perfect time to announce the winners of our first ever Gift Wrap Giveaway!
If you didn’t catch last week’s post, we hosted a giveaway in celebration of our online shop opening over at Spoonflower, where we are selling gift wrap, fabric and wallpaper. The original plan was to select three winners in total – one from Facebook, another from Instagram and the final winner from here on the blog.. however due to a lack of involvement on the blog we’ve decided to pick two winners from our Facebook participants.
After writing all the names on some of our gift wrap (naturally) we’ve thrown them all into a bowl and selected the following names at random:
Instagram Winner – Erica Pike
Facebook Winner 1 – Elisabeth Brizzi
Facebook Winner 2 – Tania Campos
We will be contacting each of you immediately to find out which design you will be selecting as your free roll of gift wrap! A big thanks to everyone for participating, and we hope you will think of Aaryn West the next time you wrap a gift!!
