Make Over Your Snuggles With This Artsy Blanket Collection

Winter is coming, and no, it’s not a new season of Game of Thrones. As the temperature starts to dip, we all need something to keep us warm. And frankly, there are few things better than a comfy, cozy throw blanket. If you’re looking for a new winter snuggle partner, Slowdown Studio, the brainchild of LA designer Marc Hendrick, has released a series of woven textiles just in time for the change in seasons.

Each blanket is designed by talented artists from the UK (Tom Abbiss Smith and Marcello Velho) and USA (Kevin Umaña and Kristin Texeira). And since there are limited quantities available for the four new blankets, every piece is basically an original work of art.

The blankets, which cost $230, are soft enough for cuddling up on a chilly winter morning, but also durable enough for outside of the house. Take it camping, on a long car ride, or anywhere else that you may want to be perfectly snug.

Pick up your fave abstract print here (be sure to check out their other designs too!) and get ready for your living room to shine this fall.

In The Holiday, there's Cameron Diaz’s sleek, modern LA home, while Kate Winslet’s character offers up her quaint, cozy English cottage. If you lean more into Kate’s cozy vibe, especially in the fall & winter, here are some simple tips to transform your home into a rustic and cozy cottage this season. From fresh flowers to vintage art, these easy upgrades will help you capture that English charm in your home so you can sit back, relax, and admire.

Tip 1: Use A Soft, Neutral Color Palette

@sophia.at.home via Farrow & Ball

Choose soft whites, creams, pastels with touches of blue, sage green, and blush pinks in your decor. Paint a cozy reading nook with a soothing color like Farrow & Ball's Schoolhouse White, and look for vintage-style furniture made in natural fibers like linen or cotton. Bonus if you have a fireplace, but if not a candle will do!

Tip 2: Layer Natural Linens

Get cozy with plenty of pillows, quilts, and knitted throws to add layers of warmth and comfort (kitty optional;). Natural fiber rugs like jute, sisal, or wool rugs bring natural texture to the space, and light and airy curtains like linen or lace can help filter sunlight and create a romantic, cozy atmosphere.

Tip 3: Bring In Floral Elements

Treat yourself to a subscription of fresh flowers, like this pastel bouquet from JJ's Flower Shop, perfectly neutral and natural for your cottage aesthetic. Display them in mason jars or vintage vases for a natural touch. Bring in small plants like succulents, herbs, or wildflowers, and add botanical prints and wallpapers with floral patterns to enhance the look.

Tip 4: Add A Warm Touch

Go for soft, warm lighting instead of bright overhead lights and light your favorite fall candleto create a cozy ambience, especially in candleholders made from metal, wood, or glass. Warm fairy lights create a magical glow and are perfect for mantels. Enjoy the season with a pot of soup, coffee, hot chocolate, or mulled wine and get hygge in the kitchen too!

Fall decorhas the ability to transform any room from drab to cozy with a few key accent pieces, but we have our eyes on the only things that truly make couch or bed rotting worth it — throw blankets. We know comforters and bedding sets are great and all, but who wants to lug their comforter to their couch every day?

We could use something that's a little more lightweight and allows us to curl up with our new bookssans getting overheated. If that's up your alley, here's 16 of the coziest blankets we've found on Amazon!

Amazon

Snuggle Sac Leopard Print Throw Blanket

If you look at this throw blanket too quick, you might miss its low key leopard pattern. It almost looks like a random circle designs instead of the fashionable fall print we're used to, but that's what we love about it. It's also ultra soft and comes packaged with a nice ribbon around it.

You can wash it after you've spent one too many cozy nights cuddling underneath it and dry it on a no-heat cycle.

Amazon

Bedsure Sage Green Throw Blanket

This gorgeous throw blanket has the best premium microfiber you've ever felt. It's also lightweight, so it won't feel like you're wrapped tight inside of a pizza oven. Oh, and the dying techniques used for this sage color makes this throw blanket practically fade-resistant.

Amazon

Bedsure Ultra Soft Throw Blanket

If you've never had a reversible throw blanket before, it's time to join the dark side. All jokes aside, one side is completely fleece while the other has a luxe sherpa texture you'll enjoy. That's double the fluffiness and nap-inducing warmth!

Amazon

LOMAO Sherpa Fleece Throw Blanket

Made of 100% polyester, this throw blanket is as soft as it is durable. We think the checkered design makes it great for college students who'll be on campus during the cooler months. It's perfect for those late night study sessions where you need to stay warm while you flip through flash cards with your roomies.

Amazon

Exclusivo Mezcla Fleece Throw Blanket

This microfiber polyester throw blanket is the lightweight, yet warm reading companion you need this fall. It has a jacquard pattern on one side, while the other is made of smooth flannel. That's all we need to hear!

Amazon

Maetoow Chenille Chunky Knit Throw Blanket

Everyone doesn't love polyester, so we have something that we think you'll like way better — a 100% chenille chunky knit blanket! The density of has been increased, meaning the knit is less loose and less likely to shed. That's always good news for anyone who doesn't want to find remnants of their blanket on their sofa or bed sheets.

Amazon

LURKA Checkered Throw Blanket

This lightweight, checkered blanket isn't just the softest living room addition you can snag right now — it also has temperature-regulating properties! Don't be surprised if you find your fur baby curled up on it, though. They may claim it before you have a chance to read the next book in your TBR stash.

Amazon

DISSA Yellow Fleece Throw Blanket

"The best throw blanket doesn't exist" won't leave your mouth once this fleece option arrives at your doorstep. It has the comfiest microfiber flannel design that makes it soft and lightweight, plus it's easy to clean.

Toss it in your washing machine on a cold cycle and tumble dry it on low heat.

Amazon

PU MEI Reversible Sherpa Throw Blanket

This is a little bigger than your average blankets, but we say the more the merrier! Sherpa and flannel seem to be key to most of the cozy blankets we've found which is why you'll find them on either side of this throw!

Amazon

Puncuntex Super Soft Throw Blanket

Everyone needs at least one dark green throw blanket in their lives because it's one of the best fall colors (excuse our bias).

The plush microfiber is not only soft and breathable, but the color is also fade-resistant. It can give an otherwise minimalist living room a pop of color!

Amazon

This farmhouse style blanket looks like it's meant for cozy evenings in the front of the fireplace. Even if you don't have a fireplace, we can see you sipping hot cocoa on your patio or balcony with this blanket draped around your shoulders.

We can't stop thinking about Bambi while looking at this blanket, but luckily no animals were harmed while making it. It's another reversible design that has faux rabbit fur on one side and teddy sherpa on the other.

You'll get all the warmth that hibernating mammals have when they're resting — without the animal cruelty part.

Amazon

Amazon

YUSOKI Sherpa Throw Blanket

Bridgerton is known for its romantic storylines, the insane chemistry between its couples, and its beautiful costumes. But it's also known for its needle drops, AKA orchestral covers of iconic rap and pop songs. They bring a contemporary flair to the show but also fit right into a regency ball. After season 3 FINALLY included "You Belong With Me" by Taylor Swift (not to mention the fact "Give Me Everything" by Pitbull was also there), I have quite a few songs I need to hear in season 4. Let's break 'em down (with spoilers!! You've been warned).

Here are the 10 songs we need to hear in Bridgerton season 4, Netflix!

1. "That's So True" by Gracie Abrams

StillMoving.Net for Netflix

The internet went absolutely crazy over "That's So True" — and posted endless edits of TV characters running during the bridge. So I'm gonna need to see Benedict and Sophie run to one another while this plays in the background, K?

2. "Pink Pony Club" by Chappell Roan

Netflix

Nobody throws a party like the Bridgertons, and nobody creates party music like Chappell Roan. I could totally see this song being added to Bridgerton season 4's music during a big, empowering scene...or during a more upbeat moment in the masquerade ball.

3. "Taste" by Sabrina Carpenter

Gavin Brown/Netflix

"Taste" is all about Sabrina's love — and the other woman in his life. Since Benedict is torn between Sophie and the Woman in Silver, this could be a clever way to play up Sophie's double identity! (I know what you're thinking: What about "Espresso"? Feel free to add multiple Sabrina songs, Netflix).

4. "Love Story" by Taylor Swift

Liam Daniel/Netflix

With the star-crossed-lovers of it all, what could be more fitting than Taylor Swift's "Love Story," which is all about a Romeo and Juliet-esque romance?

5. "Messy" by Lola Young

Gavin Bond/Netflix

Sophie is constantly overworked and used by her step-mother, and "Messy," which essentially talks about the idea of never being good enough, is a perfect fit the moment Sophie doesn't know what to do.

6. "Symphony (feat. Zara Larsson)" by Clean Bandit

Liam Daniel/Netflix

I know, I know. This became one giant meme and can't be taken seriously anymore. But you can't deny this is the PERFECT party song for Bridgerton season 4.

7. "Sailor Song" by Gigi Perez

Liam Daniel/Netflix

This haunting and ethereal song has been on repeat — and I can just hear it playing while Benedict daydreams about Sophie. (Or when they finally have their first kiss 👀).

8. "Champagne Coast" by Blood Orange

Netflix

This is another emotional song that I've been obsessed with. Netflix, it's perfect for any and all montages and flashbacks, just in case you were wondering.

9. "Birds of a Feather" by Billie Eilish

Liam Daniel/Netflix

I love the women of Bridgerton — and when Penelope, Eloise, and Kate inevitably welcome Sophie into the family, this would make the perfect background song.

10. "Diet Pepsi" by Addison Rae

Liam Daniel/Netflix

Bridgerton loves a steamy scene...and the people love Addison Rae's "Diet Pepsi." I'll leave it at that.

The wait is officially over – Dunkin’s spring menu just dropped! Starting March 5, you’ll be able to bask in the glory of 2 “highly requested” drinks returning to the lineup (looking at you, Dunkalatte!). There’s also a handful of savory snacks joining the spring roster, and I couldn’t be more excited to try ‘em. Plus, non-dairy milk will no longer cost extra at Dunkin’ starting March 5. Truly a cause for celebration!

2 Fan-Fave Drinks Return To The Dunkin' Spring Menu

Dunkin'

Dunkalatte

You read that right – after selling out last fall, the "highly-requested" Dunkalatte has returned to the Dunkin' spring menu! Crafted with rich coffee milk, the latte (that truly tastes like a milkshake) also boasts shots of espresso that make it totally charged with caffeine. Dunkin' called it an "instant sellout," which is all the more reason to give it a try. You'll be able to order this baby iced or hot.

Dunkin'

Pistachio Coffee

Another Dunkin' fan-favorite, the Pistachio Coffee, has also made its return to the spring menu! This nutty coffee flavor first debuted in 2018, and I've been dreaming about it ever since. It's made with a "subtly sweet" pistachio syrup and Dunkin's Original Blend coffee for a satisfying sip. It's also orderable iced or hot.

More Drinks On The Dunkin' Spring Menu

Dunkin'

Brown Sugar Shakin’ Espresso

This Sabrina Carpenter-approved sip will thankfully stay on the Dunkin' menu. It boasts an icy, shaken mix of "bold" espresso, brown sugar, and oat milk.

Dunkin'

Raspberry Watermelon Dunkin’ Refresher

With notes of raspberry and watermelon, this Refresher is the perfect springtime sipper! You'll have a choice of mixing it with either green tea or lemonade this season.

New Dunkin' Snack Alert!

Dunkin'

Ham & Swiss Pretzel Sliders

Sound the alarms! There's an all-new breakfast snack on the Dunkin' spring menu this go-around. Featuring King's Hawaiian Pretzel Slider Buns, these sliders are stacked up with Black Forest ham, honey mustard, and Swiss cheese. There are two sliders per box, so you can easily snack away.

Dunkin' Snacks Returning (For A Limited Time!)

Sweet Black Pepper Bacon

The Sweet Black Pepper Bacon will also be available at Dunkin' (for a limited time!) this season, available as a Breakfast Sandwich, Wake Up Wrap, or just the plain Snackin’ Bacon.

Dunkin'

Chicken & Bacon Croissant Stuffer

Just when I was missing chicken-filled breakfast options at Dunkin', the Chicken & Bacon Croissant Stuffer returns to the spring menu! Available for a limited time, this flaky pastry is stuffed with chicken, bacon, and Colby Jack cheese.
