Autumn is the perfect season to explore unique fabrics that you’ve perhaps always wanted to rock. The transitional season between summer and winter marks the opportunity to blend the two together with your decor and fashion in the best ways possible. We’re totally obsessed with velvets for the season!

Another totally cool fabric option is satin! Apart from velvet, if you’ve ever wanted to try on the smooth texture of satin, trust us, this is the time! We love how it creates a sleek, fashionable look without much bling. This luxe blue down is a gem in itself, with shimmering stones along the neckline to give just the right amount of ‘wow’ with a dramatic draped back.
