November plans:

November is the month of Duality: This is when I find myself wanting to rest and be more relaxed, but everything feels like it’s going too fast. Calendars are filling up, and still – there’s something cool about slowing down, even just for a moment. Last week, a few of our friends came across a vegetable chili at my Anne’s house. Nothing fancy, freshly passed dishes with warm bread, and the kind of easy conversation that happens when no one is trying too hard. It reminded me how basic it is to keep things simple this time of year.

That’s what I’m looking for most in November: Unexpected moments, dining spots that extend into the evening, and a place to really enjoy the season instead of being overwhelmed. It is a month that asks us to sit and pay attention to the little things, bringing warmth to our days.

In that spirit, our editors share their top Pick for November 2025 – what we need, read, wear, and lean to make this month feel inspired, purposeful, and soooo cozy.

Wellness shortcut (that’s too good to be true)

I’m naturally skeptical of anything that promises to “boost metabolism,” but jun smart metabolism gummies have found a permanent place on my kitchen counter. They’re energized, caffeine-free, and have a subtle citrus flavor—not overt like most supplements. Made with ingredients backed by more than 20 clinical studies (including carnitine and capsitax), they work to convert fat into energy and support metabolic health over time. I’ve been I’ve been taking them every few weeks, and while it’s not a magic fix, I’ve noticed a lot of energy throughout the day—and 3 pm slumps. Also, the ritual itself feels like a little bit of maintenance, which might be the secret ingredient. – Isabelle Eyman, Who’s Who of Editing

If your skin says SOS

I already miss summer, and so does my skin. My skin barrier has been crying out for some extra TLC lately, so I brought another all-time favorite moisturizer back into the fold: Tower 28 SOS Recency Cream. I hate it when jurors are too triggered, and this one goes well but is deeply softened. The best of both worlds – Langa chinyoka, beauty editor

Hydrated skin, FTW

I also wake up the face oil in my night time routine. I hate to say it, but nothing will ever come close to vernter’s daughter’s botanical serum. Pricey but worth the investment. My skin is smoother and brighter in the morning. I’m looking forward to just waking up to see that venter’s new daughter shine. – Langa chinyoka, beauty editor

Bye bye, sleepy eyes

Under eye patches have become as much of a status symbol as they are with effective beauty products. But as someone who gets dark circles after a bad night’s sleep, nothing beats the ringing power of topicals. I can’t help but take a selfie every time I put them on. – Langa chinyoka, beauty editor

Full body hydration

As someone with dry and cross skin, this splash salve is my new go-to product for dogs. Use it in the shower and your skin will be moisturized for days. – Anna DECKER, Social Media and E-Commerce Manager.

Social Scents

Nemat Amber Oil Roll-on has become my perfume. The scent is delicate and fresh, yet lasts all day. It melts into your skin to create a scent that’s perfect for you, that feels comforting and beautiful in a simple way. It’s a scent you can wear anywhere and always feel completely put together. – Tatom Hoffman, Inbound Marketing

Sunscreen

What I’m currently loving: tower28 sunscreen. I am worried. I have tried many non-tox lotions and none of them hit the mark for my dry prone skin. This one delivers without looking, feeling, or smelling like sunscreen (it’s magic). It wakes up my range and gives off a natural, enlightened vibe. I don’t go a day without it! – Edie Hourman, wellness editor

In our markets

Chocolate Brown Set My Necessary Dress

If fall had a uniform, mine would be chocolate brown. It’s rich, refined, and feels like a wonderful weather answer to the no-nonsense linen. Recently, I have created a capsule around shado-marie oliver’s Zuri dress in Java (without the power of pants with pants), and classion’s slate blazer, and their curve likes sloane pants, which is a chef’s kiss. I love (Love Love!) that the Tone Transitions go under the seam into winter-wearing asymmetrical top jewelry or silver. It’s low, it’s raised, and it somehow makes everything I’m wearing feel purposefully purposeful. – Isabelle Eyman, Who’s Who of Editing

Fashion-forward

This basic canvas print never goes out of style. I finally got hold of one in the larger size, and it has been my go-to for errands, car trips, and overnight finds. It’s long-lasting, and gives off all the cozy, nostalgic vibes (just pair it with Wellies and an RL baseball CAP for a family vacation aesthetic). And it makes the perfect personalized gift for just about anyone in your life. – Camille Styles, editor in chief

Small comforts that make a big difference

Something about winter makes me want to layer soft, fluffy lingerie under my best sweats. Little comforts that completely change the way you feel, you know? I’ve been living in this soft and comfortable bra. It’s supportive, however, good enough to get a good winter’s sleep. And speaking of which, this buttery-soft tank has become my new sleep uniform. – Camille Styles, editor in chief

This green house combo (slinky pants and slinky rib tee) would be a great addition to my lovely wardrobe. Soft and sooo sttudy (and actually v sexy for a cozy night inside, welcome, adam !!). I also like to pair pants with a skirt or throw a tee under a tank top—both pieces are versatile. – Camille Styles, editor in chief

The tote that has it all

As one of my first post-grad purchases, I turned to Isabelle – who doubles as our best planning strategy and my source of style inspiration – for chic bag compliments and a chic foundation. After sifting through a few of his options, I was sold on the Monos Metro Tote. This bag actually has storage space, a zipper slot to secure your bag over the rollerbag, and best of all, a water pocket! The bag comes in six different colors, so there is something for everyone. – Casey McKEE, editorial assistant

My new morning (and evening) ritual

This roable is the definition of everyday comfort. Constructed from Ultra-Soft Moderate Rib, it’s a piece you’ll never want to take off – whether you’re getting into your morning routine or curling up after a long day. Equal parts trendy and functional, it’s a cool layer that combines relaxation and relaxation. – Casey McKEE, editorial assistant

In our kitchens

Stir in more matcha

While I like matta, I might actually like Hojicha more. I make hojicha sticks often with warm hojucha, but in the afternoon, I have been enjoying skipping this leafy hojucha from dona for a warm and soothing drink. The taste is small, which makes it a cold iced tea. – Suruchi Avasthi, Food Planner

Literally liquid gold

I don’t say this lightly: The 24k chicken kroma broth may be the most luxurious cup of comfort I’ve ever had. It’s rich without being heavy, very healthy, and somehow tastes like the perfect balance of warm curls. I’ve been making it this afternoon – something healthy that pulls me out of the mid-day haze and gets my whole body pumping. And while bone broth can sometimes get “earthy,” this one is simple and clean, with a depth that feels almost… laid back. It’s become my winter routine: Pour it into my favorite mug, curl up in bed, and drink something that makes me feel better from the inside out. – Isabelle Eyman, Who’s Who of Editing

Catch the bubbles

As someone who has never been a carbonated drinker, I felt like I missed PAST-You on a refreshing afternoon. These yellow ones from Halfday are my original idea. They are Christmassy and have the best refreshing taste. Oh, and they also have probiotic fiber and less sugar. So if you’re like me and not a carbonated bevvie, then this might just be your new favorite. – Suruchi Avasthi, Food Planner

Breakfast for dinner, anyone?

I am obsessed with this blood. This may sound weird, but I eat a lot of pancakes throughout the week. . I have moved away from non-stick cooking pans and decided to go the carbon steel route. The yard has been sitting on my gas stove for months, and I think it’s a perfect fit now. It’s very easy to clean and cook everything in a breeze. – Suruchi Avasthi, Food Planner

No more dirty dishes

These pre-cut sheets of parchment paper are my new love, especially with all the fall quilting I’ve been doing! It is much easier to hold the sheet instead of not passing and cutting them. And it doesn’t last even hot in the oven! – Kristen Garaffo, Design Editor

I just used this host journal to prepare soup and sourdough giRLS’ night to enter, and make the planning process easy and fun! I also use it as a scrapbook of previous events I’ve hosted this year. It turns into a very small memory book! – Kristen Garaffo, Design Editor

In our day time

A book I can’t stop talking about

It’s been a while since I fell so hard for a book that I recommended to everyone I know (see also: Married people). Irish Goodbye It’s tender, bubbly, and quiet – the kind of novel that makes you text your sister just to say hello. Focusing on three sisters dealing with old wounds and new beginnings, it captures the complex, enduring love of family with uncanny precision.

It’s the perfect read for this time of year: cozy, a little melty, and full of heart. The prose is sharp but soft, the stories are focused without feeling heavy. I included it in our partner gift guide for their cause – it’s the kind of book you’ll want to share, with people with dogs and shaped by, and people who know the best. – Isabelle Eyman, Who’s Who of Editing

I’m confused about the smell

I speak from experience when I say that the scent of sandal and vetiver from salt and stone transforms any room into a sanctuary. This candle features rich sandalwood with hints of Haitian sandalwood and musk, evoking warmth and a sense of elegant beauty. It’s the scent of slow Sundays, creative mornings, and it shines through the spaces. – Casey McKEE, editorial assistant

If the chocolate brown trend is rotten to you

Earthy and unapologetically beautiful, this cocoa-colored duvet cover is a staple for the colder months (and looks amazing in almost any bedroom!). Crafted from 100% French linen, it’s a room secret that feels equal parts warm, luxurious, and durable. Follow or let it shine in his story – it’s the ultimate bedroom comfort. – Casey McKEE, editorial assistant
