Top of Bed: Case of the Blues

Icy blue partners with rich chocolate, tan and cream in the latest top-of-bed designs, creating sophisticated combinations that are truly tranquil in nature. Patterned or plain, the soothing mix proves just as irresistible on intricate designs as on simple tailored pieces and makes the statement that catching the blues is a must this season. — Lindsey Strader
