We were already excited about the upcoming arrival of Amour Vert’s Emily Cranes dress featuring one of our prints, to see it in the September 2012 issue of People Style Watch is beyond thrilling. And throwing on this dress won’t only make you look good, it will have you feeling good, too, since it’s eco-friendly and made from recycled polyester. The only disappointment is to not have snatched one up for myself in time, being that it’s already sold out. Way to go Amour Vert!!

Last month I was delighted to meet Nalini Arora, a blogger and freelance shoe designer going by the name of LA Shoegirl. Well today I’m even more delighted to have her feature an Aaryn West print as her swatch of the week, posted along with a mini Q&A session with me. Be sure to check out her blog for the full post and interview! A big thanks to Nalini, and stay tuned for a possible future collaboration!

Last week saw the release of Pattern People’s second instructional e-book, Repeat After Me. If you ever wanted to learn how to create repeating artwork, or maybe just want to brush up on your technique, you should absolutely buy this book. At only $24.95 this step-by-step guide is a total steal. There are over 400 beautiful prints included as examples throughout the book, and I’m honored to report that a few of them are from our very own collection here at Aaryn West! Many thanks to Pattern People for allowing us to be a part of this awesome endeavor, and as always keep up the great work!
