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, rollneck jumpers and classic loafers. If you want a cosier 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 glamour with caramel-coloured coats, faux fur scarves and gold statement jewellery. 

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…

& Other Stories Fall Savoir Collection


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.

Rhode Barrier Butter


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 moisturiser, 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.

Rouje x Missoma


In a romantic collaboration of Paris and London design, the new Rouje x Missoma jewellery collection is a colour-lover’s dream. Our favourite 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.

Merit Retrospect Extrait de Parfum


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.

Kate Somerville Goat Milk Body Lotion 


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 moisturising jojoba and avocado oils, calming shea butter and manuka honey (an ingredient believed to alleviate dry skin conditions like dermatitis).

Marc Jacobs x Wizard of Oz


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.

Huda Beauty Icy Nude Collection


With icy days on the horizon, we’ve got nothing but love for Huda Beauty’s latest frosty collection of cool-toned colours. 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 colour 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.
