There’s something undeniably enchanting about November – the crisp air, the first hints of winter, and the promise of festive gatherings just ahead.
With Christmas exactly one month away, and our neighbourhood's lighting ceremony on Thursday evening, one can't help but get a little caught up in all the holiday excitement. Here are a few things on our list, from the kinds of pieces that feel made for this in-between moment of the year, when November is slipping quietly toward winter and everything seems to slow under the softer light.
In our Weekly Newsletter, we often highlight a few things that inspired us that week (you can see those here). It’s been a while since we’ve shared something similar in this space, so we thought we’d bring it back for the holiday season—this time with a focus on meaningful offerings you might want to share with others…
The clocks went back this past Sunday, and all anyone can talk about is how dark it’s become. It is dark, and it will take some adjusting. After all, it’s that season again – the one Hemingway said made you sad without knowing why.

A few late-spring fashion favourites including the perfect breezy shirt dress, woven leather sandals, and other effortless essentials for warm days and golden light.
The blazer‘s journey began in the 1800s aboard the HMS Blazer, where the ship’s captain outfitted his crew in navy double-breasted jackets with brass buttons for a visit from Queen Victoria. These distinctive uniforms earned the name “blazer” for their bright appearance and the ship they represented.
The peculiar stillness of mid-January settles like frost on windowpanes. After December's warmth and sparkle have faded, we find ourselves in winter proper—that hushed interval when branches trace stark patterns against pearl-grey skies and afternoon light takes on a silvery quality.
