Blissliving Home has released a handful of new Fall bedding sets, and I am particularly enthralled by the Amelie Duvet Set ($225). Not only does it share the name of a quirky French film we all know and love, but also that of one of my top two favorite wine bars in San Francisco. And, if that weren't enough to get me into bed (har har), it has a perfect balance of femininity and modernity.

You know you're in the money when you can drop some serious cash on Fendi Crocodile Linens ($275-3,450). This linens set features 300-thread-count Egyptian cotton in a chocolate crocodile-pattern, two shams with flange, and a flat sheet. It's definitely a status symbol for the boudoir.

This opulent Bolero duvet set ($764 for a queen) from Signoria Firenze features a gorgeous print on sleek black Egyptian combed cotton. The fabric is yarn dyed and manufactured in Italy, and the set is also available in coffee and espresso. If you tire of the jacquard pattern, you can flip the duvet cover, which reverses to a solid sateen.

One small change you can make in your bedroom that will have a vast visual effect — as evidenced by Zoë's before and after —is to introduce a new duvet cover. The Williams-Sonoma Home Iron Gate Crewel Duvet Cover ($348-$448) may not be the most affordable one, but its white-on-white or black-on-white pattern is certainly versatile enough for many color schemes. While its name suggests it's inspired by the interlacing design of antique iron gates, I'm also getting a Van Cleef and Arpels vibe from it, as well as a resemblance to Dwellstudio's Sketch textiles, both of which I love.

Just in time for Spring, the Ballard Designs Miranda Bedding ($19.95- $139.95) has a bold, floral pattern to match the season, and the crisp color of my farm fresh rugs. I'd mix up the duvet cover with a simple white bedskirt, and perhaps a cool blue for the shams. I think Miranda has a bit of a trendy Suzani personality to her too, no?

This Caprifoglio Egyptian Cotton Duvet Set ($159.99, marked down from $440) will give your bedroom a fresh Spring update. The bedding has a luxurious 450 thread count, and includes a duvet cover and two pillow shams. If you're a single gal or a lady involved with a man who doesn't mind looking pretty in pink, I'd grab a set before they sell out.

I love the botanical silhouettes on this Blissliving Anis Duvet Set ($200), and the playful pink and green embroidered songbirds are super sweet, if those are your colors. If it weren't for the splashes of color, I'd think the black and white pattern was too cooler-than-thou to make the cut in my bedroom, but alas—colors save the day. The duvet and sham set also gets a shot in the arm with its 300 thread count, and that ain't bad either.
