Refinery29 Loves: Everything To See & Shop In November
Welcome to Refinery29 Loves, the monthly news bulletin where you’ll find the best things to shop and see in fashion and beauty right now.
With our Halloween outfits and vampy makeup locked away for another year, our heads are now firmly turning towards the practical parts of our wardrobe that work for all weather eventualities. Think striped sweaters, blanket scarves, and heavy-duty boots. But staying warm doesn’t mean dressing like you’re about to climb a mountain.
This season, plenty of It Girls are inspiring our freezing fashion looks for the winter months ahead. For those seeking a chic and refined look, the Olsen twins remain superior thanks to their arsenal of tailored coats, turtlenecks, and classic loafers. If you want a cozier option, Katie Holmes is an ideal reference point for slouchy cardigans, well-fitting jeans, and low-heeled leather boots. A more elevated approach would be Taylor Russell, our inspo for all-out cold-girl glamor with caramel-colored coats, faux fur scarves, and gold statement jewelry.
Then there’s makeup, and it’s safe to say that we’re embracing all things warm and glossy. Hailey Bieber is leading the mood board with a pumpkin spice-inspired lip and glowy peach cheeks. And for hair makeovers, we can’t take our eyes off Rihanna’s curls, dyed a very seasonal shade of autumn leaf.
To uncover all the new fashion and beauty launches that are giving us even more inspiration this November, click through the slideshow ahead…
Good vibes await courtesy of the new Disney x Lululemon collab, which finds your favorite comfy pieces from the activewear brand adorned with playful Mickey Mouse motifs. The Happily Ever After collection includes Disney-fied versions of the cult-loved Align leggings, an oversized fleece hoodie, a bright pink Energy Longline sports bra, the viral Everywhere Belt Bag, a textured bucket hat with Mickey ears, and so much more. Prices range from $34 to $158.
It seems everything Hailey Bieber touches turns to gold, but how about butter? Rhode made its name with hydrating milks and peptide lip balms and now the brand has launched its thickest formula yet in the form of the Barrier Butter. An intensive moisturizer, the balm-like formula provides deep hydration for plump and glowing skin. Containing hyaluronic and polyglutamic acid, the buttery nighttime cream is all about locking in moisture and improving barrier function — perfect for chapped winter skin.
With the Western trend still going strong, it only makes sense that Free People has partnered with the hit TV show Yellowstone for a limited-edition collection. The eight-piece We The Free capsule is full of Americana staples, including cowboy boots, bandanas, a cowboy hat, bootcut jeans, a suede jacket, and a graphic “Dutton Ranch” T-shirt with horses on it. Naturally, the campaign stars Yellowstone’s Kelsey Asbille and was shot on Dutton Ranch in Montana, where the Paramount+ series is filmed. The Free People x Yellowstone collection is available now, with prices ranging from $58 to $498.
A limited-edition seasonal collection, Savoir showcases the work of & Other Stories’ atelier with a capsule of designer-inspired fashion. Embracing all things texture, the drop includes a series of metallic jacquard looks, including a tailored longline coat, a sculptural peplum top, tapered suit trousers, and a brocade evening bag. If shimmering gold isn’t your thing, the collection includes softer looks, too, with a mint ruffled gown; pearl-adorned, baby blue pumps; and a belted black blazer, ready for party season.
After a successful run, British heritage brand Barbour and NYC menswear label Noah have reunited for another collaboration, this one made up of three fall- and winter-ready jackets. For the collection, the Noah team dug into Barbour’s archives and reimagined popular styles from the ’80s. There’s the unisex Wool Bedale Jacket, which features a corduroy collar and is made with Casentino wool (a fuzzy fabric dating back to the 14th century); the Cotton Bedale, with the same silhouette but in a salt-washed cotton canvas; and the Border Jacket, a longer tweed style. “For this season’s Barbour collection, we stuck to the classic jacket shapes we’ve always loved from them,” Noah founder Brendon Babenzien said in a press release. “Barbour jackets, more than any other, have a timeless quality that allows them to get passed down from one generation to the next.” The Noah x Barbour collab is available to shop now.
Merit is well loved for its beautifully crafted makeup products and now the brand is expanding into the fragrance space with a vanilla and crisp pear perfume. Encased in a sculptural gold-topped bottle, the debut perfume has top notes of bergamot, heart notes of rosemary and jasmine, and base notes of moss and musk. Formulated as a highly concentrated extrait de parfum (with almost 30% fragrance oil), the scent promises a long wear of over 12 hours.
In a romantic collaboration of Paris and London design, the new Rouje x Missoma jewelry collection is a color-lover’s dream. Our favorite looks in the capsule include a pair of ‘80s-inspired, oversized mosaic studs combining semi-precious blue, red, and green quartz with 18-carat recycled gold plating. The playful designs continue with a molten heart necklace featuring three gemstones on a velvet black choker. If you prefer to keep things classic, the collab includes a chunky gold domed ring with ridged detailing and matching vintage-inspired hoops.
Known for its retro aesthetic and vintage-inspired prints, fashion brand Rixo is taking the next step in its stylistic journey with the launch of its homeware range, Casa Rixo. Featuring abstract printed tablecloths, cushions, and napkins, the collection is available in two distinct colorways: a warm, Mediterranean-inspired terracotta and a blue-hued design with olive and peach accents. Made from linen and cotton blends, the statement homeware is R29 dinner party-approved.
Sold as a duo with the iconic Goat Milk facial cleanser, the latest launch from Kate Somerville is a soothing body lotion. Famous for its ability to quench dry and sensitive skin instantly, the goat milk-based cream feels lightweight but is packed with proteins for deep nourishment. Alongside the star ingredient goat milk, it includes moisturizing jojoba and avocado oils, calming shea butter and Manuka honey (an ingredient believed to alleviate dry skin conditions like dermatitis).
The arrival of Wicked on the big screen has us all reaching for emerald green attire or a fluffy pink ballgown, but Marc Jacobs is offering something a tad more sophisticated to coincide with the film’s release. Taking inspiration from the original Wizard of Oz, the collection includes totes, handbags and wallets with stills from the iconic movie, including imagery of the famed yellow brick road. For the biggest Dorothy fans around, the main event is a pair of diamanté-encrusted, crimson Mary Janes with a vertigo-inducing platform heel that makes the original ruby slippers look like running shoes.
With icy days on the horizon, we’ve got nothing but love for Huda Beauty’s latest frosty collection of cool-toned colors. Announced as the brand’s last foray into big eyeshadow palettes, the shades include a mix of mauve alongside a gunmetal glitter, pink shimmer and a snow-white matte. Branching beyond palettes, the collection also includes three new Faux Filter lipglosses (including an icy iridescent clear) and a ‘frostbitten’ face gloss that changes color with the pH of the skin. If frosty hues aren’t your thing, you can warm up with two new Blush Filters in deep Coco Loco and Latte.
