It feels like we've been shopping (or simply browsing) more than ever—it's gift guide season, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are on the horizon, and we're trying to be as prepared as possible with our holiday party looks. And with browsing comes the inevitable purchases, both impulse and thought out: it's human nature for fashion and beauty editors. Outerwear is heavy on our minds as we shop for both statement and classic pieces, the brutal change of seasons has us both relying on our tried and true beauty products and branching out, and we're all trying to get into the holiday spirit in ways that feel true to us and our personal styles.
As much as we love shopping for Coveteur readers all year long, we're very excited about what we've picked up for ourselves along the way and have been thinking hard on potential end of year splurges. With that said, here are the fashion items and beauty products that have carried us through November—both things we now own and things we've been coveting from afar.
Fashion:
Aligne George Wrap Coat
Aligne
"Now that it's fully winter in New York, I'm supremely focused on my coat game. Though I love a fun fur, a classic wool coat is an essential. This one from Aligne is perfect in every way: it's robe-like in its button-free existence (which I love), but still elevates any outfit you throw it on over. Plus, Sienna Miller wore it recently so I'm fully sold." - Faith Xue, Editor-in-Chief
Liffner Push Lock Clutch
Liffner
"I am going through a calf/pony hair obsession, and this bag tops my list. There's something so timeless and chic about a little black clutch, and the black calf hair finish adds that extra something." - Xue
Sea Hollis Knit Cardigan
Shopbop
"It's officially Christmas sweater season, and this one from Sea x Shopbop's new collaboration is so kitschy and fun. There's something so playful about the reindeer design, but the neutral color and pop of red make it feel surprisingly elevated." - Xue
Argent x Citizens Of Humanity Beverly Trouser
Argent
"I've been on the hunt for a perfect pair of wide-legged jeans and have finally found my winner. The Beverly jeans from Argent x Citizens of Humanity's recent collab fit me perfectly and are the Goldilocks of wide-legged jeans: not too straight, not too wide, just right. Plus, I usually have to get jeans tailored and these ones magically are the perfect length." - Xue
Almada Label Brushed Collar T-Shirt
Almada
"One thing about me: I love a collared polo. Add cashmere into the mix, and I’m sold. It’s the perfect fall transition piece—especially in LA, where 70 degrees basically feels like winter." - Natasha Sheridan, Social Creative Lead
My Mum Made It Rosette Puffer Jacket
My Mum Made It
"We need a petition to ban boring outerwear. Honestly, this coat is the only thing making the rain tolerable. I fear the matching skirt hates to see me coming..." - Sheridan
Esthé Lace Satin Slip Dress
Esthé
"I recently discovered a brand that I'm now obsessed with. It's called Esthé, and their elevated wardrobe staples are so good. If you know me, you already know I’m a slip-dress girl through and through, and this red one is perfection." - Kala Herh, Social Strategy Lead
Longchamp Le Smart Tote
Longchamp
"My friends are officially tired of hearing me gush about this bag, but I can’t help it. This bag manages my work world and my personal life (with room to spare). It’s elevated and chic without trying too hard, and the smart organization has saved me from so many lost-AirPod crises." - Herh
ROARI Vivien Top
ROARI
"Let me put you onto the top that has made the holidays so much easier to dress for (I've already worn it to two holiday parties). Roari’s Vivien LS drapes like liquid but still gives me that sculpted, tailored shape I’m always chasing. The gold knot buttons at the back and on the turn-back cuffs add the perfect touch of sparkle, and the removable shoulder pads (hidden in little interior pockets!) let me dial the drama up or down depending on the vibe." - Herh
Reformation Clara Cashmere Cardigan
Reformation
"This season is all about layers and, when it comes to layers, the softer the better. This Reformation cardigan is the absolutely softest, high quality, and easy to pair. I have it in the gray granite color, but I'm now seriously considering other colors." - Bianca Asare, Associate Editor
Lilysilk Full Bias Cut Silk Pants
Lilysilk
"These silk pants are my latest wardrobe staple. The silk is so smooth and the waist is elastic making them comfy and feel pajama-like without sacrificing style. Silky fabrics feel so holiday appropriate to me, so I'll definitely be thinking about fun ways to style these for upcoming holiday events." - Asare
Everlane Wool Cocoon Coat
Everlane
"This Everlane jacket is the best transitional piece and the best layering piece. It's great on it's own and is made out of a super warm wool, but I've had fun layering it under other jackets and coats on extra cold New York days." - Asare
Atorie Andes Alpaca Wool Coat
Shop Atorie
"I have been on the hunt for a chic wool coat now that the cold is really starting to get cold here in New York. This coat is absolutely gorgeous and looks so soft and warm. The perfect balance between stylish and functional." - Sierra Cook, Graphic Designer
Franco Sarto Waxton Chelsea Boots
Nordstrom
"I'm aways looking for a good Chelsea boot that will keep my feet dry and sleek. I love the square toe on these boots because they provide a gorgeous slim profile without squeezing the toes. They also come in wide sizes which I always appreciate. The more room for wool socks the better!" - Cook
Beauty:
G.M. Collins Peel Toner Exfoliant
G.M. Collins
"I've been dealing with finicky, breakout-prone skin for the past few months, but this toner from G.M. Collin has really cleared things up. Made with AHA, BHA and PHAs, it's an exfoliating powerhouse, leaving my skin bright and smooth without any irritation." - Faith Xue, Editor-in-Chief
Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dewy Flush
Sephora
"I was already in love with the original shades of Glow Recipe's Dewy Flush, but the bubblegum pink Dragonfruit shade has now become a new favorite. It leaves my cheeks looking perfectly flushed with a soft wash of pink, and I can skip highlighter because the dew factor is 100. Plus, the packaging is adorable and gives me a little serotonin boost each time." - Xue
Aunu Skincare Manuka Honey Cleanser
Aunu Beauty
"Every product in this luxe, manuka honey-based line is impressive, but the cleanser especially has stolen my heart. The texture feels like rich honey, and it melts off all my makeup easily in one go (the scent is so soothing, too). Made with medical grade manuka honey from New Zealand, it helps kill bad bacteria while keeping the good and balancing my skin's microbiome. Plus, the bright yellow packaging is a work of art." - Xue
La Mer The Eye Concentrate
Bluemercury
"I’ve been using this product religiously for a few months (it lasts forever, so it’s worth the investment), and I’m pretty sure I’m seeing a difference? Regardless, it’s super hydrating and I will be repurchasing." - Natasha Sheridan, Social Creative Lead
111Skin Celestial Black Diamond Eye Mask
111Skin
"I first saw these being used backstage at Altuzarra during NYFW and genuinely saw an immediate difference on the models. Plus, the black with the subtle sparkle is so chic." - Sheridan
Hourglass Illusion Luminous Glow Foundation SPF 30
Hourglass
"I’m obsessed with anything that makes my morning routine more streamlined, and this Hourglass 2-in-1 does exactly that. It gives me buildable, glowing coverage and has SPF 30 built in, so I’m checking two boxes at once. Plus, my skin still feels like skin." - Kala Herh, Social Strategy Lead
Never Fully Dressed Eau de Parfum 001
Never Fully Dressed
"Speaking of the season, 001 Night has officially become my signature scent for the winter. Soft bergamot, warm nutmeg, and a touch of black pepper swirl over a smoky oud base for a fragrance that’s equal parts empowering and undeniably sexy." - Herh
Neuraé Harmonie Face Oil
Bergdorf Goodman
"As a dry skinned gal, face oil is a crucial (last) step in my skincare routine—especially as we transition to winter and the air gets drier and drier. Of all of the ones I've tried, this is my absolute favorite. The Neuraé oil is formulated with the perfect combination of vegetable oils and emollients, and is suitable for sensitive skin. Plus, it comes in this luxe, rigged bottle." - Bianca Asare, Associate Editor
Beauty Pie The Dynamo Deep LED Mask
Beauty Pie
"Something about wearing an LED face mask feels so luxurious and like I'm really going above and beyond for my skin. I love this Beauty Pie mask not only because it's the perfect ballerina pink (although that is admittedly a factor), but because it comfortably fits on the face and uses the deepest penetrating wavelength in an at-home LED mask. I love throwing this on and multitasking." - Asare
OGEE Collagen Boost Elixir
OGEE
"I love finding ways to add products in as a little extra boost to my routine. This OGEE Elixir has quickly became a staple for me. I apply after a serum for the added plumping, smoothing, and anti-aging benefits." - Asare
