The heel height is also perfect for a day at the office." —Rina Stone, Executive Creative Director Forever 21 Rolling Stones Jacket Courtesy Buy Now "I find that my style totally changes in the winter. While in the summer I basically only wear white and pink dresses and skirts, in the winter, it's rare you'll find me in anything but ripped black jeans. I've been dying to find a camo jacket to pair with my multiple pairs of skinny jeans, and I randomly came across this Rolling Stones jacket in Forever21 the other day and had to have it. The exhibition here helped push the purchase." —Victoria Moorhouse, Beauty Editor Coach Booties Courtesy Buy Now "They are comfortable, warm, stylish, side zipper makes them easy to put on and the thick, rubber sole makes it easy to walk in snow or puddles." —DeLora Jones Blake, Chief of Reporters NIVEA In-Shower Nourishing Body Lotion Courtesy Buy Now "Nivea In-Shower Body Lotion is basically a miracle in a bottle for winter-ravaged skin. For those *can't even* mornings when you have no time to actually lotion up, just slather this on in the shower, rise it off, and your skin is magically moisturized all day long. Not bad for less than $5." —Katie Donbavand, Associate Producer Cocoon GRID-IT Macbook Air Case Courtesy Buy Now "I found the best organizing solution for toting your laptop (and other tech miscellany) around. The neoprene sleeve snugly protects your MacBook while the stretchy grid accommodates everything from adapters, chargers, cords, and more. I know, talk about sexy." —Hana Asbrink, Digital News Editor SPECTRUM CHOKER RAINBOW Courtesy Buy Now "It's miserable outside, but this necklace is a surefire way to beat the cold weather blues. I feel happier just looking at it." —Claire Stern, Associate Editor Five Story Mini Bag Courtesy Buy Now "There is nothing chicer to me than a mini bag. Actually, there is. A MINI mini bag. This teeny tiny mink bag is so delightful I had to grab it! It holds my wallet AND keeps my hands warm!" —Ruthie Friedlander, Digital Site Director DOCK+ Charging Dock Courtesy Buy Now "I was constantly at war with the cables littering my nightstand before I invested in this sleek charging dock. It's unobtrusive enough not to be offensive, but "designed" enough that—when it's not juicing up my iPhone—one might actually mistake it for a piece of modern art." —Dianna Mazzone, Assistant Beauty Editor Women's New Balance® for J.Crew 620 sneakers Courtesy Buy Now "I set out to find a very functional pair of running sneakers but immediately changed courses when I cam accross these sleek New Balance for J.Crew kicks. The minimal design makes them perfect for travel days and metallic leather detailing makes them feel elevated." —Christina Shanahan, Senior Editor Mac Prep + Prime Lip Courtesy Buy Now "Dry lips and matte lipstick don't mix. I bought this product after a major fail trying to use vampy lipstick on a cold winter night. Mac Prep + Primer Lip is the perfect base, it keeps my lips mositurized and doubles the stay power of all my lipsticks." —Jessica Kane, Photo Assistant DL1961 Skinny Jeans Courtesy Buy Now "There's no such thing as having too many black jeans in your closet, and when I saw this slightly distressed pair with zipper details from Jessica Alba's DL1961 collection, I couldn't resist (especially at the sale price). They're the perfect length to wear with slip-on sneakers or tuck into boots—plus, if they're good enough for Jessica Alba, they're good enough for me." —Samantha Simon, Assistant Editor BIKER JACKET Courtesy Buy Now "I had been eyeing a much more expensive shearling aviator jacket for a while and recently accepted it was out of my price range. I knew I had to find one I loved just as much and could fit into my budget. This Zara find is almost an exact dupe, but at one-fifth of the price! I love how soft the faux fur is and how it seems to work with every outfit, whether I wear it to work or out at night. It is the perfect piece for the crazy weather we have been having in N.Y.C lately, too." —Sarah Balch, Photo Editor GEL-Nimbus 19 by Asics Courtesy Buy Now "I've run countless races in the Asics Nimbus. From the moment I first put them on, they trumped all other running shoes in terms of support, softness, and they're also super lightweight. This latest model (the GEL-Nimbus 19) has all-new "FlyteFoam" technology for an extra responsive ride that reduces the impact of running. I'm planning on doing the Chicago marathon in the fall and I'd never run it in anything else!" —Anna Hecht, E-commerce Editor Sorel Waterproof Wedge Boot Courtesy Buy Now "I searched for these booties in my size for maybe a month before I found them, and I don't think I've taken them off since. They're the most comfortable water/winter weather-proof boots I own—and they have a built-in heel (!!). I wear them all day long in the office and even on the weekends. They're the perfect way to stay warm and chic this winter." —Shalayne Pulia, Editorial Assistant Monrow Maternity Dress Courtesy Buy Now "It's hard to find cool maternity clothes — and who wants to spend tons of money on pieces you'll only wear for a short time? So Shopbop sales have become my savior. The site's well-edited selection of pregnancy staples from Hatch, J. Brand, Monrow and others makes it easy to find versatile pieces I can wear now and after baby, too. This comfy dress is my current fave." —Angela Salazar, Senior Editor Madewell Bodysuit Courtesy Buy Now "Madewell recently started making bodysuits, and I snagged this striped scoop-neck this month. Not only does it stay perfectly tucked, but it is super soft and comes with three rows of buttons, so you can adjust it for the length of your torso. Consider me obsessed." —Olivia Bahou, Assistant Digital Editor Boss Babes: A Coloring and Activity Book for Grown-Ups Courtesy Buy Now "I'll admit it, I'm still buying into the adult coloring book craze. The Boss Babes edition, however, is far superior to your typical adult coloring book fare—it doubles as an activity book with creative feminist games like Marie Curie-inspired Sudoku and a "Women In Hip-Hop" word search. I spent Monday night giving Frida Kahlo balayage #NoRegrets." —Isabel Jones, Editorial Assistant Bare Minerals Cleansing Oil Courtesy Buy Now "Years ago if you told me I'd be washing my face with an oil, I'd actually laugh out loud. Now, this cleansing oil is an essential in my daily skincare routine. Not only is it the perfect daily cleanser, it leaves my skin feeling super soft and the blend of cucumber and sunflower oils leave the freshest scent. I've already purchased it a second time!" —Rachel Crocetti, Producer Panache Full Cup Bra Courtesy Buy Now "I have a fuller bust, so I'm always on a hunt for pretty bras that offer amazing support. Panache is one of my favorite brands and they created this beautiful balconette style in a chocolate color I adore. I also got the matching briefs because in 2017, I want to be an adult and wear matching sets!" —LaShauna Williams, Senior Credits Editor Meri Meri Unicorn Horns, Set of 8 Courtesy Buy Now "Planning a birthday party for my 6-year old son who is obssessed with unicorns. These are amazing and unique like him!" —Lucy Fox, Deputy Photo Director Lindsey Thornburg Trench Cloak Courtesy Buy Now "This coat totally gets my whole "cozy-sexy" vibez for winter. Lindsey Thornburg was inspired to create it after her first winter in N.Y.C. where she'd roam around frozen Manhattan swaddled in Pendleton woolen blankets. Thick, gorgeous wool and a hood so deep it's luxurious—bring on the blizzards! Bonus: Blake Lively is a fan and has it in (at least) one, two, and three different colors." —Katie Donbavand, Associate Producer The Beauty Chef Glow Inner Beauty Powder Courtesy "With the harsh & erratic weather that comes with winter, I could only apply so much product to my skin before it was overwhelming. So, I decided to try to replenish my skin from the inside. Within just a couple weeks, not only was my skin clear and more healthy, but the probiotics and probiotics will provide a little extra boost to my immune system as well." —Kyleen James, Photo Assistant Justine Clenquet Earrings Courtesy Buy Now "I always love the jewelry selection at Opening Ceremony because they seek out new, relatively unknown designers that have really unique pieces at affordable prices. I've been on an earring buying bonanza for the past few months but these are my favorites!" —Lizzy Oppenheimer, Senior Photo Editor
