NOVEMBER HAUL
November was… a month. The kind that forces you to take a breath, pause, and really check in with yourself. Between balancing work, editing content, keeping up with family and friends, winter settling in, and mentally preparing for my very glamorous ingrown toenail surgery, life was gently and not so gently telling me to slow down. I always talk about curating a life that feels intentional, but this month reminded me that sometimes intention looks like rest, softness, and letting things be a little quieter. November wasn’t about doing the most. It was about comfort, easing back into routines, and choosing pieces and products that actually support me while I work, create, and try to stay warm in this New York cold. Moving slower gave me space to reflect on this year and start shaping my 2026 resolutions. I’m ending this year feeling grounded, grateful, and stepping into 2026 with even more drive, new age, new love, new mindset, new goals, and yes… a refreshed fashion sense as I clear out the old and welcome in the new. Lately, I’ve been gravitating toward things that make my days smoother, my skin calmer, and my outfits feel effortlessly elevated even when I’m trying not to stress-prep for this upcoming surgery like a penguin in training.
So, in true Unfiltered with Augustah fashion, here’s everything I’ve actually been using and loving in November
CLOTHING HAUL
Winter style for me is all about feeling cozy, intentional, and quietly luxurious.

Looking back, November became less about the whirlwind around me and more about grounding myself inside of it. Even while moving slower, I found comfort in the little things, the routines, textures, tools, and tiny luxuries that helped me feel put together again. The things that added ease, softness, or a quiet lift on the days I needed it most. Everything here earned its spot because it helped this month feel lighter. And as I move toward winter and a whole new year that’s the version of me I want to bring forward: the one who chooses better, slower, softer, and more intentionally.

November reminded me that comfort isn’t the absence of movement- it’s choosing what supports you while you keep going
