Guest Picks: Fresh Summer Bedding
When the weather calls for more than just a sheet, these lightweight options are just right for staving off nighttime chills
To me, nothing beats those cooler summer nights when there's just enough breeze to warrant a lightweight quilt. Snuggling down under a cool cotton blanket or crisp linen sheets is the best denouement of a day of fun in the sun. — Justine from Design Skool
