November has arrived, and with Halloween’s ghosts and ghouls finally put to bed, we can turn our attention to the cosy side of the season. Knits that we end up living in, boots to stomp around in, deliciously cosy layers, and the occasional seasonal treat.
With the temperatures dropping and the Amsterdam drizzle showing no signs of letting up, our fall wishlist is looking rather tempting. A little so
LOVE STORIES | RACHEL V-NECK JUMPER
The V-neck made its presence known this past season. Spotted in pale yellow at Loewe, with a sporty twist at Auralee, bold and bright orange at Saint Laurent, and a little more sensual at Tom Ford. Prada, Miu Miu, Tod’s, Hodakova, Julie Kegels… and the list goes on. The message is clear: the V-neck is a forever kind of love affair.
With the colder months upon us, the Rachel V-Neck Jumper is just the sort of thing you’ll find yourself reaching for time and time again. Its slightly lower neckline leaves plenty of room to play with styling, whether you prefer another layer peeking through or prefer to keep things simple and elegant, and wear it against bare skin. Crafted from a soft wool blend, it brings just the right amount of warmth and comfort for the season ahead.
FRUITY BOOTY | LACE SHANIA BRA
Neon is having its moment again, and unexpectedly I’m rather pleased about it, especially after swearing I’d never wear anything neon ever again. After seasons of barely-there neutrals and understated dressing, a flash of something brighter feels like a welcome change. I particularly love the idea of a neon bra peeking through a slightly sheer top, or simply pairing it with an unexpected pop of color like a hot pink or brown.
The Shania wired lace bra, made from super-soft stretch lace, has a delicate, feminine feel while still offering the comfort and support you want from an everyday bra. There’s a matching set, too, for those who like a little coordination.
In support of this year’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, 10% of all bra sales will be donated to CoppaFeel!.
BOBBIES PARIS | CAROLYN PUMPS
I have a soft spot for a good white pump, particularly one that doesn’t take itself too seriously. There’s something about the contrast and freshness it usually brings to an outfit.
The Carolyn by Bobbies has that lovely simple charm with its classic shape and slightly chunky heel making it comfortable enough to wear all day.
It’s the sort of shoe you can take from Monday to Sunday, pairing just as easily with your worn-in jeans as with something a little more dressed up. A perfect low-effort, high-impact piece.
MAIUM | Y2K PARKA
Autumn in Amsterdam has a way of making you rethink your outerwear. One minute it’s a light drizzle, the next you’re cycling straight into a wall of rain. Which is where a good parka comes in. This oversized, padded style by MAIUM takes its cues from the functional outerwear of the 2000s, with a silhouette that falls below the hips and all the practical details you could hope for. Plus, it’s made using an average of 88 recycled plastic bottles.
As you’d expect from MAIUM, there’s a clever little detail in the design: zipped side panels that open up to give you more room to move on the bike, while offering extra rain protection over your legs. The padded lining brings extra warmth, and the fleece-lined hood is just the thing for those particularly grey, cold mornings.
PRADA | WISH PRINTED CALF HAIR LEATHER POUCH
The Prada Wish seems to have rather lived up to its name, landing at number one on the Lyst Index’s hottest products list for Q3 2026, with searches up an extraordinary 498%.
The Wish has that wonderfully light, soft, easy-to-carry shape that makes it feel like you’re carrying a tiny piece of candy. It feels a little less serious than your usual luxury handbag, with just enough room for the essentials while still adding something special to a look.
This version, made from printed calf hair leather, has a little extra personality thanks to its playful print, without losing that unmistakable Prada sensibility. A fun new take on the silk versions, in the best possible way. Part of the brand’s latest holiday collection, the print also appears across a few other accessories. It is, quite possibly, all you could ever wish for.
ORIBE | SUPERSHINE MIRROR RINSE GLASS HAIR TREATMENT
Much like its name suggests, if your hair needs a little extra hydration and shine, this is a good one to know. The Oribe Supershine Mirror Rinse is a deeply hydrating treatment that smooths and softens the hair, leaving it silky soft and ultra-shiny.
After shampooing, squeeze out excess water and apply from mid-lengths to ends in place of your usual conditioner. If your hair is thicker, coarser or in need of extra love, apply after conditioner instead. Use once a week, leave on for up to one minute, rinse and that's it.
ALO | MALIBU LOW BOOT
When the temperature drops, there’s very little I want more than something cosy to slip my feet into. Enter the Malibu Low Boot. With its soft suede exterior and plush wool-blend faux fur lining, it has that cloud-like feel that makes getting dressed on a cold morning just a little more bearable. The low-profile shape keeps things easy, while the platform wedge gives you a little extra height without sacrificing comfort. Inside, the high-rebound recovery foam insole makes them just as suited to a full day out as they are to a quick coffee run.
Available in black, espresso and rich chestnut, with the newest addition being Gravel. Essentially, the sort of boot you’ll end up wearing far more than you initially planned.
DIOR | MÉDALLION BELT
Some accessories have a way of becoming much more than just an accessory, and the Médaillon Belt is quickly turning into one of those recognisable Dior signatures under Jonathan Anderson. The medallion has become a recurring motif throughout his collections, popping up beyond the belt itself, including on the latest rather fun Médaillon lip balm. It’s a little detail that seems to be taking on a life of its own.
Available in both brown and black leather, this is not exactly a belt that likes to go unnoticed. As the weather turns colder and getting dressed starts to feel a little less inspiring, with the same coats and trusty knits making their way back into rotation, it’s a rather good way to bring a little drama back to the everyday.
