Welcome September!  The summer season has begun to shift into fall and this month is about to blast into a world of colorful foliage and sensual pleasures like the spicy smells of cinnamon, pumpkin spice, and clove.  Fall is a time to get cozy, and a warning that winter is on its way.  The season invites us to slow down, recharge, and find beauty in the quiet comforts of home.  It’s the perfect season to embrace cocooning!  This season, elevate your everyday by creating a personal sanctuary that is restorative, elegant, and cozy with small luxuries that make a home feel like a retreat.  Read on to find out just how easy it is to create your own cocoon this fall season.

Cocooning begins with comfort, so start with what you wear, and nothing sets the tone for relaxation quite like silk!  Whether it’s wrapping yourself in a sumptuous robe at the end of the day or lounging in a soft cami layered with your favorite cardigan, silk elevates even the quietest of moments.  Slipping into a set of silk PJs definitely elevates a regular evening into a luxurious retreat.  Silk’s natural breathability and lustrous feel make it the ultimate fabric for comfort and quiet luxury.

No fall retreat is complete without the sensory comfort of food and drink.  Choose a warm and spicy cup of chai, a simple mug of cocoa topped with whipped cream or even a golden turmeric latte.  A warm mug filled with your favorite cozy drink will instantly wrap you in a sense of calm and relaxation.  Pair your favorite silk PJs with a slow Sunday breakfast of flaky croissants, seasonal apple butter, or warm apple pie baked oatmeal, and you’ve just created a moment that feels indulgent yet grounding.  Cocooning is just as much about flavor as it is about a feeling!

Cocooning offers us a chance to step away from the rush of life and reclaim that time for ourselves.  Fall is an ideal time for intentional slowing down and reflection.  Light a candle, turn off notifications, and create space to journal, meditate, or simply sit in the stillness with a favorite book.  Intentionally slowing down isn’t about doing nothing; it’s about doing less with purpose!  Reflecting on what brings us joy, expressing gratitude by journaling or meditating or simply enjoying the silence can turn your fall evenings into a restorative ritual.

The beauty of cocooning?  It doesn’t require grand gestures, only thoughtful ones.  Layer textures like smooth silk, cozy wool and soft velvet to warm up your space.  Add candlelight for a golden glow, place some fall aromatics in the air, curate a soothing playlist and keep a favorite throw nearby. Give yourself permission to pause.  In a fast-moving world, cocooning reminds us that luxury can be found in stillness, comfort, and simple pleasures.  This week is a great time to add some silk to your cocoon by shopping our sleepwear sale.  Save 20% with the code FALLSLEEP20.  Go get cozy and we’ll see you in the next blog!
