Skull & Bones

You don't have to be a Yalie to have your own secret society. Skulls, evolving from eccentric to a nascent fashion statement, are now ubiquitous. Whether a necklace pendant, a jean emblem, or a home object, skulls infuse a little edge to your customary style.

For your next girls-night-out, book club, or Junior League tea, intermingle a gothic accent to make your time together feel coveted. Put on your all-black get-up and apply your eyeliner a little heavier. And hey, if you are liking your darker side, embrace.Light a black skull candle next to your hors d'oeuvres. This one (above) from Wisteria runs $19. Or ZGallerie has skull and bones candle (below) on sale for $17.


Nest's skull cocktail napkins (above) are made of linen and come in a set of 6 for $40. Pass around as you serve some cranberry and vodkas.
A metallic skull will glisten under your mood lighting. Snatch it up for $24.


Isn't it a relief not to hide your skeletons in a closet anymore? But keep your dog leash with spikes and bondage pieces stowed away. That hasn't gone mainstream -- yet.

  1. Exploring handcrafted décor led me to Bone Inlay Furnitures, and I’m honestly amazed by how sophisticated and timeless it looks. The smooth finish, detailed patterns, and unique Bone Inlay Furniture color options make every piece charming in its own way. It instantly upgrades the room, adding character without making the space feel too heavy. Whether you choose a chest of drawers, a console, or a mirror frame, bone inlay pieces bring a soft, artistic touch to interiors. It’s ideal for people who love mixing luxury with handmade craftsmanship.
