Stella’s Favorite Things – November

by Kate Even on November 30, 2024

November is here, and with it, the magic of the holidays officially begins! The air is filled with a sense of warmth and excitement, and I can’t help but feel my heart overflowing with gratitude. This time of year is all about cherishing those precious moments with family and friends, gathering around tables laden with delicious food, and reflecting on all the blessings in our lives. As we embrace the spirit of Thanksgiving and prepare for the festivities ahead, I’m excited to share some of my favorite things for November.

This sweet potato casserole was exceptional and we will be recreating it on the blog for Thanksgiving 2025!

HOLIDAY DECOR

Nothing says Christmas magic like a gift from Disney. The Holiday Mickey Figurine and the Mickey Mouse and Friends Holiday Sketchbook Ornament Set from the Disney Store makes an adorable gift for children or adults, as is the M&M’s Green Character with Cookies Figurine. I always loved Charlie Brown and his friends, so this Peanuts Snoopy and Woodstock Countdown Calendar Figurine is perfect for counting down the days until Christmas!

While you can’t go wrong with displaying traditional Christmas decor, I love putting a modern twist on my decorating. This Large Wooden Snowman Holiday Decoration and the Large White Ceramic Holiday Snowman from Crate and Barrel are sure to make a statement. The Felt Holly Leaf Garland from West Elm is a fun way to decorate your mantel without the mess of real evergreen.

Looking for a unique gift for that person who has everything? Jonathan Adler has modern and one-of-a-kind pieces I can’t resist. I’m loving the Nepo Baby Needlepoint Pillow, Take it Easy Square Tray, Small Sorrento Lacquer Box, and Fleur Large Box.

FASHION FORWARD PIECES

Nothing says the holiday season is approaching like an elegant yet comfortable ensemble. I couldn’t resist the Proenza Schouler White Label Dress worn in the photo above! You can pair with a shawl if you need a little added warmth. The Simkhai Genna Ribbed Fit & Flair Dress is another great choice for a lunch, dinner, or work event.

If you’re looking for a slightly more causal look, these shirts from L’Agence are some of my favorites: the Maeva One-Shoulder Top, Lanetta Top, and the Azia Cutout Turtleneck. Stay warm with the Parvati Top from Paige, the Veronica Beard Callie Metallic Knit V-Neck Sweater, and the Jodie V-Neck Sweater.

OUTDOOR ACCESSORIES

Just because I want to keep warm doesn’t mean I have to sacrifice style! These cozy and trendy bucket hats are definitely winter must-haves: the Fluff Faux Fur Scalloped Bucket Hat, the Women’s AW UGGfluff Rev Hat, and the Carolyn Rowan Curly Embellished Bucket Hat.
