EDITOR'S LETTER
12 THE IT LIST
Nothing marks the approach of the holidays like the unveiling of the Bergdorf Goodman windows in New York, which the GLOSSYBOX team was incredibly fortunate to witness. Within the icicle-flanked (delicately manufactured, but looked oh so real) windows were magnificent creations celebrating "Holidays on Ice," where mannequins decked out in floor length sequined gowns frolicked in winter wonderlands. Speaking of ice—while winter is officially a month away, everyone on the street is already bundled up in beanies and scarves to face the chill. To counter the inevitable gloom, we sought out fun sweaters and accessories to add some sparkle to your wardrobe. With value kits and limited edition items galore, the holidays are the best time for shopping, and with our specially curated gift guide, you can start compiling beauty treats for your loved ones. Finally, we showcase our winter guard: the moisture-intensive products you'll need to make sure your skin gets through the cold weather in one piece. Winter is coming, so be prepared!

This month, we peek at our very own Creative Director's bathroom counter to explore his grooming preferences. As someone who, in his own words, is "a little picky" when it comes to the aesthetics of his bathroom, great packaging (with quality ingredients, of course) is the prevailing theme in his picks. 2
