Unpolished & Unapologetic: A Modern Muse's Guide
OCTOBER 2025 | ISSUE 08
October has arrived, bringing with it longer nights, flickering candles, and that unmistakable autumn magic in the air. This month, the AARYAH team is embracing the cozy, mysterious spirit of the season. Hosting intimate dinner parties, escaping the city for crisp fall getaways, and reaching for rich textures like suede as the temperatures drop. Between pumpkin-spiced afternoons and moonlit evenings, weโre finding inspiration in the balance between warmth and edge. Hereโs how weโre celebrating October.
IN OUR CLOSETS:
Suede Bags
This month, itโs all about suede. As temperatures drop, weโre drawn to the soft structure and quiet luxury of suede bags. Timeless pieces that feel as good as they look. Inspired by iconic everyday bags, our October mood leans into rich texture, sculptural shapes, and neutral tones that pair seamlessly with the seasonโs layered looks.
IN OUR VASES:
Brothers Botanicals
Weโre letting our muses on our little secret to the perfect flowers: Brothers Botanicals, the New York City floral studio founded by two brothers who craft seasonal bouquets that evolve week by week. Their arrangements are the ones youโll see on every visit to AARYAHโs showroom. Each bouquet is delivered to your door as a DIY kit, complete with step-by-step instructions that make arranging them both simple and satisfying. Effortlessly elegant and endlessly inspiring, Brothers Botanicals brings intentional beauty to any space.

ON OUR MOOD BOARDS:
Candlelit Dinners
Weโre embracing the haunting elegance of October, candlelit tables, sculptural blooms, and the kind of gatherings that blur the line between moody and modern. Whether or not you celebrate Halloween, thereโs beauty in the seasonโs darker tones and thoughtful details. A haunting dinner party is the perfect excuse to play with contrast: soft lighting, rich textures, and an effortless sense of mystery. October invites us to create atmosphere and savor connections with friends.
ON OUR TO-GO LISTS:
Just a short drive from the city, Wildflower Farms in the Hudson Valley is our go-to fall retreat. Nestled among rolling hills and golden trees, itโs home to Clay, a farm-to-table restaurant that captures the essence of the season with every dish. Spend the day exploring the grounds, wandering through nearby antique shops, or simply savoring the stillness. And if youโre not ready to leave, book a night at one of their cozy cabins and stay. Itโs the perfect balance of comfort, nature, and understated luxury.
ON OUR WISH LISTS:
Noir Jewelry
In October, weโre drawn to the striking simplicity of dark, moody tones. Ourย Onyx BB Thelma Bracelet embodies chic, sleek, cool-girl energy. The deep hue of onyx adds a sculptural edge to fallโs neutral palette. Weโre also exploring other black statement pieces like our Black Gold Zodiac Medallion as edgy jewelry takes center stage this season. Itโs the perfect opportunity to explore new metals and step outside your comfort zone with something bold.
