Now that it's November, my Instagram feed is looking a lot more wintry. Whenever I scroll through it, I see everyone putting up decorations and twinkly lights, baking seasonal treats, and attending festive events such as Who What Wear's Holiday House. So I figured it was time to upgrade to a chicer, more minimalist wardrobe for the season. Enter the vanilla aesthetic. You've probably seen it on TikTok: cozy fabrics in shades of snowy white, creamy ivory, and trendy ecru with touches of luxe gold. This way of simple, monochromatic dressing is super easy to copy and basically ensures that you'll always look expensive and put-together. Keep reading to shop my top picks along with some of my winter beauty must-haves.
