Moving right along in our series of posts highlighting the most important Resort 2015 runway trends, we have abstract, painterly brush stroke prints. Keeping the color palette minimal or subdued will give designs a more sophisticated feel to an otherwise youthful and chaotic trend.

As both animal skins and novelty prints have been growing in popularity over the last few seasons, it makes perfect sense that butterflies would reemerge as a Resort print trend. Whether presented as small and cute, or enlarged and abstracted, the intricate and colorful patterns found inside of their wings can be stylized to work within a wide range of markets.

You guys. If you haven’t been over to Society6 recently just stop what you’re doing and go over there right now (ok, or after you finish this post). They have added so many great new products to their catalog recently, from clocks to shower curtains to muscle tanks, with the most recent addition of queen and king sized duvet covers! This means you can dress yourself and your home in cool, artsy designs from top to bottom. I can attest to the quality of their products because I use their mugs, pillows and tote bags on a daily basis. And not to brag, but I am the envy of all the bag boys at the grocery stores, I promise you that.
So take a minute to peruse the Aaryn West shop over at Society6 and treat yourself to something nice. You’ll feel good about it because everything they make is made in the United States. Or maybe just because everyone likes to have new stuff.

It dawned on us recently that while we’ve been on Instagram for some time now, we’ve done very little to promote our feed. It’s a great place to get a quick fix for inspiration, get a sneak-peek into our various projects, and see who we love to follow. Find us via the Instagram app under AarynWest, or on the web here.

It’s rather hard to find adequate words describing how much we love our clients, with Dallas brand Hi! Expectation being among a very short list of our absolute favorites to work with. Creative Director Sofi Sugasti has such an expressive aesthetic and love of intensely bold colors, allowing us to really push the limits of our design capabilities. Below are just a handful of our favorite looks from their Spring 2014 Collection, which has already begun trickling into boutiques.
To see the entire collection and gather more information on Hi! Expectation hop on over to their website!
