Trend: Furry, Hairy Shaggy Pillows -- Will You Follow?




Mongolian Lamb pillow cover, West Elm, $59 -- $129

It's September!  YUCK.  Aside from the shopping bug I get infected with every time the seasons change, Fall can keep its leaves and melancholy beauty. I'm still grieving summer.  But for many of us, September is the unwritten new year's. Back to school, back to work (everyone is always on a last vacation in August) back to the grind, until Christmas holidays...  What gets us through it? Shopping, as I mentioned, and here's where we come in: trend reports!  All through the month of September we'll keep you abreast of what's new in the world of decor, with plenty of opportunity to discuss its merits.

First up: fur, faux fur and hairiness in general is in BIG TIME on the runways this season, and as is par for the course, so it is in decor.  Popular decor stores have already begun to accessories chairs, sofas and beds with a touch of Yeti, and I for one am looking forward to seeing just how far sheep, lamb, fun-fur and other cozy hides will proliferate this season.

Is this look for you?  Will you follow?  (I have two baby sheepskins from IKEA that I still love and display, and am pretty sure will replace once time comes.)

Take a Poll!

These are reserved for my "fantasy cottage". Or possibly my "fantasy condo".

I hate fall too.

Like the hairiness underfoot, like a warm dog or a sheepskin rug next to the bed on a cold winter's morning.  But those cushions are a look which is only cool in theory.  Maybe.  I'm getting itchy just looking at them.

Trend??  I've had those pillows for a couple of years now.  They are so soft - love them.

They look lovely, but all I can think is allergy, dust, allergy.

Not my thing, however, great texture in the right spot.
