Dressing well is a form of good manners. As the season of falling leaves and hot chocolate approaches, it comes time to turn our attention to our winter wardrobes. Shopping impulsively has no place here. The goal is a wardrobe meticulously curated to embody our personal style.  Cold weather is no excuse for poor dressing. As Vivienne Westwood said, you have a more interesting life if you wear impressive clothes. 

This year, I’ve curated an edit of the most coveted advent calendars: the ones that deliver true value, iconic products, and that refined sense of luxury that sets them apart. I still think about my first beauty advent calendar as a teenager - a sweet Sephora surprise that brought me a kind of joy I’ve never forgotten. Consider this your invitation to recreate that feeling.
