November Necessities (Win a Keurig Milk Frother!)

Do not even attempt to get through the next month without these must-haves (psst: we’re giving away the first on this list, to one lucky winner)! —Noa Nichol

hot ‘n’ frothy. Cold mornings call for lattés—without leaving the house. Keurig’s new milk frother ($100) makes a perfectly creamy foam, simply, every single time … no shoes required. Enter to win one of your very own here!

hands up. Lucky for winter skin, Chanel‘s La Crème Main ($70) isn’t all couture packaging—it really smooths, softens and brightens our hands (thank May rose wax, iris pallida extract, hyaluronic acid and shea butter for that).

nice knit. Filson may be an American company but, since its retail entry into our land, it’s been embracing many things Canada—like this Handmade Fair Isle Scarf ($200), made here, and warm for the wear.

blaze away. This sharp silver leather jacket ($610) may be part of Marc Cain‘s SS 2018 collection, but it could top just about everything in our closet right now.

write stuff. When it’s time to escape the November rain, these travel journals ($40 each) by Axel & Ash, filled with editorial features, stunning photography and writing prompts, are coming with us.

hats off. Montreal-based Gibou makes the best hats, period. From toques with removable pom-poms to berets running a rainbow of colours, the company sources all-natural materials (100 per cent wool) and recycled furs, and employs a team of 15 retirees to hand-craft its wares.

sole mates. A Canadian company, you know these Native Johnny TrekLite Boots ($130) are guaranteed to keep your feet warm and dry (no matter how much of the wet/fluffy stuff may fall this month).

the boot. There’s no better boot to invest in this month than Stuart Weitzman’s Alljack ($1,065 at Nordstrom). Cut from sumptuous suede to skim the top of the knee and finished with a stretch suede back, the fit is fab and the style? Seasonal perfection.

lip service. With our lips anticipating a difficult (read: dry, chapped) month, it’s Sulwhasoo’s Essential Lip Serum Stick ($50 at Holt Renfrew) to the rescue. With botanical ingredients, this stick ensures smooth and elegant lips all day long (and comes in a flush of pretty colours, to boot).

everyday elevated. For a month that’s best spent out of the elements, Tiffany & Co.‘s Everyday Objects collection makes staying home a pleasure by taking ordinary items (a paper cup ($130 for a set of two), drinking straws (from $250), a teddy bear ($375)) and making them extraordinary.
