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, we’re finding inspiration in the balance between warmth and edge. Here’s how we’re celebrating October.
IN OUR CLOSETS:
Suede Bags
This month, it’s all about suede. As temperatures drop, we’re 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 season’s layered looks.
IN OUR VASES:
Brothers Botanicals
We’re 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 you’ll see on every visit to AARYAH‘s 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
We’re 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, there’s beauty in the season’s 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, it’s 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 you’re not ready to leave, book a night at one of their cozy cabins and stay. It’s the perfect balance of comfort, nature, and understated luxury.
ON OUR WISH LISTS:
Black Jewelry
In October, we’re drawn to the striking simplicity of black. Our Onyx BB Thelma Bracelet embodies chic, sleek, cool-girl energy. The deep hue of onyx adds a sculptural edge to fall’s neutral palette. We’re also exploring other black statement pieces like our Black Gold Zodiac Medallion as edgy jewelry takes center stage this season. It’s the perfect opportunity to explore new metals and step outside your comfort zone with something bold.
