NOVEMBER FAVORITES

November has be quite a fun month the past few weeks, from some fun events to daily commutes downtown and checking out some new restaurants around town and even in my neighborhood (hi Hoexter’s). I also did a good amount of shopping this month (ooops), so definitely wanted to talk through some of those picks, plus some redecorating moments, including a brand new cabinet addition to our apartment. Without further ado, here’s some of my favorites from this past month!

FASHION

Shop Cider Woven Boat Neck Vest — I got this as a set during a Cider sale earlier in the month, and let me tell you, it’s one of my favorite fall purchases to date. Simply obsessed with the pattern, how I can easily pair it over a turtleneck during colder weather and how flattering the fit is. Also, it goes with tons of pieces in my closet, from dark jeans, to mini skirts and of course it’s counterpart brown check pleated skirt.

ACCESSORIES

BonbonWhims Blingy Lucky Claw Clip * gifted *— Ummmmm how cute is this clip though!? I got it back when I visited the BonbonWhims pop up in NYC as part of a gift and omg, I’m obsessed. It’s perfect for a half up half down style and it gives a little sparkle to any casual look.

BonbonWhims Twinkle Pavé Charm Necklace * gifted * — Another adorable gift I got from the brand was this pavé bubble charm necklace with the letter A. I’ve been loving layering this one with plain gold chains, and it even looks cute with my nameplate that I usually wear on the daily. Obessed.

HOME DECOR

Ribbed Beige Candles from Amazon Home — I love switching up the various candles I have around the apartment during the fall, and I swapped in these beige ribbed ones in our bedroom as opposed to the usual black candlesticks I have in this spot. I kind of love the new look, it’s a lot fresher, neutral, and clean, but is still super interesting to look at.

Wayfair Boho Natural Rattan Shoe Storage Cabinet — Aaaannnnd here it is, a new addition to our apartment after nearly 2 years. A little backstory. This space has always been a bit empty, and we never had any place to put mail, so I’ve always wanted to fill it with a small cabinet of some sort. That’s when I somehow came across shoe storage cabinets (yes, they’re a thing), and figured, well, we could actually use that too. This one fits PERFECTLY against that wall and serves as a nice little catch-all for when we first come in. It also fits a good amount of shoes (mostly flat-ish shoes for me/sneakers), and I have about six pairs in there. Sean, on the other hand, can only fit a few for obvious reasons (the cabinet is quite small!). Anyway, we love it, and it kind of feels like it’s always been there which is amazing. More to come as I deck out the top a bit more.

And somehow we’re in the holiday szn. Here’s to the rest of 2024!
