Unpolished & Unapologetic: A Modern Muse's Guide

Unpolished & Unapologetic: A Modern Muse's Guide to November

NOVEMBER 2025 | ISSUE 09

November sits between the calm of fall and the start of the holidays. It’s the time for layering pieces that feel good and look pulled together. The colors get richer, the textures get softer, and everything starts to feel a little more personal. We’re into the cozy vibe and the hint of celebration that’s starting to build. November is about giving thanks, finding balance, and setting the tone for the season ahead.

 

In our closets: Slouchy sweaters

IN OUR CLOSETS:
Slouchy Sweaters

The weather is turning colder, and a slouchy sweater becomes the go-to layering piece. It’s relaxed but still put together, easy to style, and always comfortable. The right knit drapes naturally, keeping shape without feeling stiff. Pair it with denim for casual days or with structured trousers for something more refined. It’s the piece you reach for again and again because it always works. Simple, effortless, and quietly confident.

 

IN OUR VASES:
Chrysanthemums

In our vases: Chrysanthemums

Bold, structured flowers in rich fall tones. They bring warmth and color without feeling overpowering and look best in simple, thoughtful arrangements. Chrysanthemums are November’s birth flower, known for their balance of strength and beauty. They add character to any space and work for any occasion, from a dinner table to a quiet corner at home. A timeless bloom that always feels right for the season.

Moments of Warmth

As the weather turns colder, we’re making time in our short, winter days for moments of warmth. Whether that’s leaning into cozy winter accessories (why does it seem like everyone has a balaclava right now?) or making the time to reach out and be with the ones you love the most as we approach Thanksgiving. These microdoses of coziness are going to get us through the chilly winter ahead!

ON OUR TO GO LIST:
The Eighty Six

Created by the team behind the beloved The Corner Stone, The Eighty Six is nestled in the heart of the West Village. The amber lighting, art deco interior, and relaxed energy make it the ideal place to be on a crisp fall evening. The menu is classic and comforting, with perfectly cooked steaks and their signature martinis that have already earned a reputation. It’s the kind of place you want to linger, surrounded by good company and good music.
