Hi everyone!

 

 

 

Happy Monday! Today is the start to another wonderful week (single digit countdown to Quilt Market!!) …and with that, we bring to you another Moody Monday! This autumn season, adorable creatures have been seen everywhere – owls, foxes, raccoons – and with their rich, warm colors to match…we have been inspired! Thus, we have decided to share our Frolicking Forest by Heather Rosas Moodboard with you all today.

 

With the autumn season officially upon us, it’s that time of year to don all your favorite oversized scarves and chunky knit sweaters with the intentions of keeping warm. But, bundling up doesn’t mean we can’t still look cute and stylish. This season we’ve been seeing lots of fun, graphic sweaters faced with our sweet, furry friends, both on the runway and in high-street stores. We adore the mix of feminine and playful a beautiful sweater with a fox print gives, and it can be dressed up or down accordingly with a pair of boyfriend jeans, over a tulle dress, or with a collared button up for the workplace. Some of our favorites are from J.CrewMaison Kitsune, Old Navy, Lacoste, Balenciaga, and Markus Lupfer.

 

 

Frolicking Forest by Heather Rosas is a rich color-infused collection of deep, fall hues of oranges, greens, blues, and browns adorned with hedgehog, fox, raccoon, and owl prints. Our moodboard showcases this collection wonderfully, with its woodsy and cozy feel. The collection is cheerful and bright, just as you will be this autumn with your animal-printed sweater, phone case, and DIY pillows to match. Here’s to all the darling forest creatures that make us smile and go “awww”!
