An Autumn Love Letter

It's the time of year, here in the US, for apple cider, chestnuts, crunchy leaves and rainy weather. There's nothing quite as refreshing as the season of Fall. This November, living through the election, COVID, and the looming questions they bring for 2021, it's about finding little joys wherever we can. Selkie’s new Autumn Toile designs and vintage inspired fox jacket were inspired by small pleasures found in a time long before the minute-by-minute play of current affairs, and constant social media. Why not channel your own inner, pre-digital era, and enjoy some relaxing quiet time, long walks under newly sparse trees, harvesting autumn fruits by hand, and trying treasured family recipes? Choose snail mail, sitting to write letters by hand, and opening envelopes sent in reply, all the while sipping hot tea and toast in a cosy breakfast nook. Layer up, and relish the feeling of Fall in the fabrics of your favorite coat, woolly socks, tights and boots.

“I was drinking in the surroundings: air so crisp you could snap it with your fingers and greens in every lush shade imaginable offset by autumnal flashes of red and yellow.”
― Wendy Delsol, 

“Don't you love New York in the fall? It makes me want to buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address.”

― Nora Ephron
