"I like to think of these festive Baublebar Striped Crispin Drops ($48) as the kind of jewelry that will spread the cheer year round." — Hannah Weil McKinley, director, Fashion
"What better way to kiss 2016 goodbye than with Reformation's No Regrets Tee ($58)? It simply says it all." — Samantha Sutton, assistant editor, Fashion
"The holidays mean lots of time getting cozy at home — and that doesn't start without a great pair of live-in pajamas, like this pair from Olivia von Halle ($525)." — HWM
"While I'm totally saying goodbye to 'joggers,' I'm not saying goodbye to comfy-chic. While these Alice McCall Night Fever Flares ($320) have a playful and eye-catching shape to them, they also seem a lot more flexible than binding jeans. Win-win!" — SS
"This season, Dear Frances thought to offer its It girl classic, the Spirit Boot ($550), in stark white. I'll keep these in rotation through Winter, rolling my pants to show off the unique silhouette, but they'll surely add a mod touch to my flouncy dresses come Spring." — Sarah Wasilak, editor, Fashion
"I'm a firm believer in collecting sweaters in every color and style, which is why I want to add this oversize Elizabeth and James chunky turtleneck ($595) to my stash. It's simple, cozy, and looks like a sweater Gigi Hadid wore once, which is always a good reason to buy something." — Marina Liao, assistant editor, Fashion
"I love sneaking something festive into my everyday wardrobe. This & Other Stories skirt ($85) will be the sweet foil to my chunky sweaters and tights, not to mention an ideal day-to-night piece for all those after-work events this month." — HWM
"I love the rich, holiday hue and subtly sweet bows on this Reformation x Net-a-Porter slip dress ($300). It feels totally contemporary and completely classic all at once — making it perfect for any holiday party on the roster." — HWM
"Fame and Partners is good for any occasion dress you can imagine, but with the brand's Inside Out collection, it introduces wearable accessories like the Black Jojo Corset ($159), which looks just as appropriate with an oversize graphic tee as it does a velvet holiday dress." — SW
"I adore the elegant silhouette and subtle hue of this perfect Mansur Gavriel clutch ($695), and while a sparkly bag is fun for holiday parties, I love that this one has staying power." — HWM
"It's about time I bought myself a pair of ear muffs, instead of messing with my hair each time I pull on a beanie. This Winter, I'm investing in this Madewell x Owen Barry Toscana Shearling style ($99). They're luxe and soft as can be, and they match my furling coat." — SW
"After trying on a couple pairs of bow loafers, I've finally found my favorite pair from Soma ($70). The flats take one to three weeks to make by hand, meaning the craftsmanship will be top notch." — ML
"I'm adding this delicate Mejuri necklace ($75) to my holiday wish list because not only did one of my favorite bloggers, Jenn Im, design it, but the minimalist style is what I want in a choker. Now this piece, I'll actually wear." — ML
"The second I saw Sachin & Babi's Benita Top ($395), I couldn't help but envision all the ways to wear it: with fancy pants during the holiday season, jeans for date night, a skirt for a formal event — the possibilities are endless!" — SS
"Sure, you've got your puffers and long wool dusters, but then there are standout furry coats like this one that you begin to dream about. As soon as I laid eyes on Guess's Amy Faux Fur Star Jacket ($368), I knew I had to have it. This piece jazzes up any Winter wardrobe." — SW
"Every Winter I lose my gloves, so this year I need a new pair and I'm eyeing these two-toned ribbed ones from Rag & Bone ($95). The forefinger and thumb have tech tips, which is useful for someone like me who's always on her phone." — ML
"Mark Cross's newest offering of trunks don't just come up big on function, but in fashion. I mean, how great is the shade of this grass green case ($7,500)? It will fit all my belongings for a quick weekend getaway, and it's easily stowed in any compartment." — SW
"I'm obsessed with this delicate gold bracelet, which is an actual replica of the line drawn between two distinct locations on a map. Shahla Karimi's Custom Destination Pendant Bracelet ($400) is an easy must have if you've got a best friend, family member, or SO who lives far away." — SW
"While this Rebecca Minkoff Power Tassel Bag Charm ($55) would make a great stocking stuffer, I don't think I — or my constantly dying phone! — can wait that long. Adding it to my cart and clipping it on my bag, ASAP!" — SS
"I'll likely ring in the New Year at a friend's house, so while I'm looking for something fancy, I also need something that's great for lounging on the couch. This Wide Leg Surplice Jumpsuit ($108) from Express is the best of both worlds, and I truly can't wait to rock it with heels flats." — SS
"It took me all of one minute to decide that I wanted to buy this special furry backpack from Zara ($60). Now I just have to play the waiting game for my package to arrive." — ML
