Happy November! What a great freaking start to the month. 💙 Finally feeling hopeful about the future of this country. Now, the Eagles on the other hand? Good grief. NOT part of this month’s positivity.
Anywho, why you’re here – this month’s roundup of your favorite picks has me beyond excited for winter and the holidays. In my book, it’s never too early for holiday commercials. Give me the holly, jolly spirit any time of the year. And just when I thought I couldn’t get any more excited, our Holiday Jewelry collection officially dropped (Shana details everything, here). Soooo pretty and fun to scroll through.
The Best Sellers This Month: Getting Ready For Winter & The Holidays
Okay, back on task. The top sellers roundup is basically a winter and rest-of-fall inspo board. I already bought this for my yearly holiday pjs, and I haven’t stopped thinking about these boots, these Gap pants, and these chocolate ganaches. Onto the rest, below!
Shop This Month’s Best Sellers
1. GAP Softest Flannel Pajama Top + Pants
Where To Buy: GAP
Yep, I bought this pj top and I’m currently waiting for it to come in the mail. There’s matching pants, too…but I decided to go with one of the plaids to switch it up.
Shana’s Note: Two weeks ago I bought Christmas Eve PJs for the entire family…and then GAP just dropped new prints including, a ski print, chocolate chip cookies, and a seriously fun and playful ‘Bearisle print’ (cuter than it sounds, I promise). These PJs are our favorites – they’re gender neutral, but I think they run a little small (I get L for all of the guys, and medium petite for myself).
2. UGG® Classic Tread Leather Genuine Shearling Boot
Where To Buy: Nordstrom
These are the boots I haven’t stopped thinking about. There’s something about a fun lace detail that just immediately grabs my attention.
Shana’s Note: OKAY, CUTEST UGG WINTER BOOTS: These!! They look like a cross between UGG, Mou boots, and…IDK – something with fancy, contrast laces?? Anyway, they look really cool.
3. GAP Brushed Twill Easy Wide-Leg Pants
Where To Buy: GAP
I’ve loved the look of these since Shana tried them out. They’re that perfect balance between casual and dressy.
Shana’s Note: My most worn pants this week: GAP’s, in gray pinstripe. Been wearing it with one of my old Re/Done graphic tees (this new style is my latest obsession – it’s me, 100%) and these ridiculously comfy flats – with a supportive cork footbed and everything (in ivory).
4. Quince Double-Faced Merino Wool Collarless Cropped Jacket
Where To Buy: Quince
GAH, I don’t think the pictures really do the shape of this jacket justice. Scroll through this post to see Shana wearing her super similar one from Ref. It’s great.
Shana’s Note: To go out at night, I threw this Reformation jacket on and immediately felt a little more dressed up (even in sneakers!). This is the same jacket I’m throwing on over my gown for Mike’s work gala tonight – it really does just have so much range. Quince makes a version, too, but it looks slightly thinner/more sweater-like than Ref’s.
5. Splendid Vivienne Lace Maxi Skirt
Where To Buy: Evereve
Navy silk always gets me…it’s just so luxe and sexy. Love the lace detailing on this skirt, too.
Shana’s Note: This outfit is such a cool mix of stunning but casual – well played, Evereve. (I sometimes just really love their styling.)
6. SOREL Ona Ave Alpine LX Genuine Shearling Waterproof Boot
Where To Buy: Nordstrom
How freaking cute?! Shana details her ONA Ave boots in her Winter Boots Guide if you’re looking for all of the important info.
Shana’s Note: Sorel’s 2026 winter boot lineup includes….my favorite ONA Ave Luxe version! They brought it back in sea salt which, oddly enough, has performed great despite the (slightly terrifying) lighter colorway. This is the same colorway that tends to sell out first, so if you’re tempted, I wouldn’t wait. These boots have been my top pick for 2 years running – walkable, suuuuuper warm, yet seriously chic. Like…chic enough that they were perfect for strolling around a fashion city like Montreal in the winter. I’m a huge fan.
7. Levi’s Middy Balloon Jeans
Where To Buy: Levi’s
This is a great light wash, but that gray color is super cool too. I haven’t seen a ton of jeans with that specific wash.
Shana’s Note: Abby was wearing the coolest freaking pair of jeans the other day, so I went to buy them and OMFG YOU GUYS the REVIEWS. From the 70-year-old who owns 5 pairs, to the person who offered to “give you my soul if you guys make more colors” I now have…even higher hopes for these jeans. Good grief.
8. GUESS Silk Chiffon Shawl Neck Bodysuit
Where To Buy: Nordstrom
Ooo, I’m ready to get dressed up in this top. There’s something super chic about the tailored cuffs with that drapey silk.
Shana’s Note: Those fancy red tops, though…the three I was seriously considering are this simple silk cami (it has a perfect shape and can be worn untucked), this silky draped turtleneck that made my jaw drop, or this shockingly cool bodysuit from GUESS (oh wowwww – it’s 100% silk, too). Damn.
9. UGG® Classic Ultra Mini Western Leather Boot
Where To Buy: Nordstrom
UGG making their classic mini boots western-esque was not on my bingo card, but I’m totally here for it.
Shana’s Note: Best ankle boots with baggy jeans: Either go really sleek (a more affordable pair here), or try boots with a detailed toe. That decorated toe (stitching, studs, contrast soles) makes a huge difference when wearing loose, baggy jeans. Even these UGGs work!! Sleek or detailed: there is no in-between.
10. Daydreamer Mahjong Champions Ringer Tee
Where To Buy: Evereve
A lot of talk about Mahjong in our office, and I’m officially ready to join. Mostly so I can purchase all of the cute Mahjong-themed things they have out right now. Add this one to the list.
Shana’s Note: For mahjong lovers: this tee (it’s actually pretty cool – cracked me up).
11. Frost Flower Earrings
Where To Buy: TME Shop
When I saw these worn in person, I was shocked at how wearable they actually are. They’re a statement at first glance, but somehow work with everyday sweaters and jeans.
12. SPANXsupersmooth® PerfectFit Ponte Wide Leg Pant
Where To Buy: Spanx
Scotti recently tried a bunch of Spanx’s Perfect Pants, and I’ve been itching to try them out myself ever since. Everyone can use a good pair of sleek black pants, so when they’re actually comfy? Immediately, yes.
Scotti’s Note: The rise was higher on the regular pair, but I think the proportions of the petite pair overall worked better on my 5’4″ frame. THESE would be perfect if I were still teaching…they’re super comfy, aren’t too tight or sexy, and go with all the things. Even though they’re a pull-on style, the faux pocket slits and buttons on the back keep them from looking like leggings or sweatpants, so they’re perfect for an office or school setting.
13. Halfdays Chapelle Fleece Jacket
Where To Buy: Halfdays
I’m with Shana – that color is awesome. And, I’ll never say no to a cozy fleece.
Shana’s Note: The coolest fleece jacket I’ve seen: In ‘Nirvana’. I think it’s the color, honestly, it’s dead chic.
14. Yise Beauty Brightening & Depuffing Eye Cream
Where To Buy: Yise Beauty
Need to try. Nuff said.
Shana’s Note: Yise’s Wide Awake Brightening Eye Cream is definitely worth a purchase. They had sent me a tube to try months ago (boring detail, mentioning only for transparency), and since I just used up the last bit of my existing cream, I busted it open. It is shockingly good. Like, I’m holding myself back from the adjectives (and/or expletives, haha) but it somehow takes the place of under eye cream and concealer, but there’s no settling into fine lines. I have the soft pink, and this stuff just disappears into my skin, and BOOM – I look more awake. We get sent a ton of beauty products to try, but this one is now firmly part of my routine.
15. Gingko Origami Hexagon Twist Light (Collapsible Lamp)
Where To Buy: TME Shop
Our entire team’s been ooo-ing over this thing for months (Jeni’s buying one for everyone on her list). Need this to replace my book light that heavily hangs off of my book and is the most irritating color that light can be. This one is soft and glowy, and compact enough for me to pop it in my bedside drawer when I’m not using it. Collapsible, too!
16. Coffee Lover’s Chocolate Ganaches
Where To Buy: TME Shop
I tried the tea version of these from our Chocolate Shop and ohmygod I need to try this coffee version. And I don’t even like tea! Besides the flavor of these chocolates being YUM, the texture is unreal. Such a great thing to pop in someone’s gift (or buy for yourself. It’s worth it).
17. Paige High Rise Laurel Canyon 32″ Bootcut Jean
Where To Buy: Paige
Love that Scotti is a fellow flare-jeans-lover. If you’re on the shorter side and/or curvy, the right flare is just *chefs kiss*.
Scotti’s Note: I’ve been wearing this exact style of PAIGE jeans for YEARS, but this dark wash with the little slits at the hem might be my favorite yet. SO flattering on curves, make your legs look longer, and the fit is just so good. 🙌🏼 (In petite and regular sizing, 32″ and 34″ inseams, and a TON of washes.)
18. The Hoptimists
Where To Buy: TME Shop
Hahaha, this guy cracks me up. Something to put on your or your kiddo’s desk for a daily pick-me-up.
19. Pistola Honor High Waist Drawcord Hem Corduroy Cargo Pants
Where To Buy: Nordstrom
Always here for a casual, cool take on holiday pants. The drawcord hem sold me.
Shana’s Note: Tough-girl holiday pants: These Pistola utility cords in ‘deep crimson’. They are…beautiful. That red is so freaking perfect – I keep zooming in. I would either style these cords with a red top for maximum, monochromatic drama…or maybe a romantic, flirty top in this weird green/gold. The combo is both surprising and stunning. I’m obsessed.
20. UGG® Classic Tread Fluffed Boot
Where To Buy: Nordstrom
Okay, Shana. Another really cute pair of winter boots she has me obsessing over. I genuinely want all three of them. Santa, are you listening?
Shana’s Note: The freaking CUTEST winter boots: From UGG, but they look a little like Mou boots, too.
See ya next month with more top sellers!
