Channel your playful side and try out one of this season’s popular trends – whimsical prints! These quirky designs are being seen everywhere lately, from the runway to your favorite celebrities, and we think they add the perfect cheerful quality to any outfit.

There are many ways to incorporate these fun patterns into your wardrobe, and while some designers have chosen to mix and match these lively designs for a print-on-print look, you can also choose to wear them as accents in the form of a heart-dotted scarf or a sweater sprinkled with little birds.

Designer and illustrator, Tad Carpenter, is a master when it comes to whimsical prints and has lent his artwork to everything from children’s books and posters to spot illustrations and national campaigns. Having been featured in publications such as Communication Arts and Drawn!, Carpenter is a story-teller at heart and loves to invite people into his world of whimsy.

Here at Case-Mate we have been lucky enough to work with Tad to create a line of fun, colorful cases, and we believe they are the perfect way to wear the whimsical trend this season!
