You may be busy dashing through the snow and decking the halls this season, but don't forget to show up to those festive holiday parties looking merry and bright with skin that positively glows! Use this Vanilla Spice Body Polish ($20) from The Body Shop. It's a creamy scrub that gently removes dead skin cells to reveal healthy, smooth, touchable skin that's lightly scented with a hint of warm vanilla. Delish! --Angel

Try This: DIY a Statement Necklace
I've got a confession. I am madly in love with the Marilyn Multi-Strand Necklace by Lee Angel Jewelry (pictured above), but I just can't afford the $282 price tag right now...(she sighs). What I can afford is to attempt to make an equally fabulous necklace using less expensive materials. Then at the next holiday soiree I'll be the girl in that sensational "custom-made" necklace! --Angel
To this so-affordable Rock N Roll Chain Necklace ($17)...
Dress of the Week: Diane Von Furstenberg Chiffon Dress
Diane von Furstenberg Chiffon Dress, $465
It goes without saying that if you're donning a Diane von Furstenberg creation, you're likely the best dressed in the room! This dress is wildly gorgeous, emphasis on wild, thanks to the torn lace at the neckline. Two different sleeves give it sartorial interest while a slightly dropped waist lends an appealing flapper-girl aesthetic. This could very well be the dress of the year!! --Angel

Stay shower fresh and extend your blowout (you did spend a fortune on it, after all) with this 2-for-the-price-of-1 powder that refreshes your body and gives you the loveliest locks with just a flick of your wrist. And if the pink bottle design isn't the sweetest thing, I don't know what is! --Angel

Vintage Pick: Katy Royale Purple Halter Dress
I'm a huge fan of vintage clothing because a) it's eco-friendly and b) the clothes are fabulous! I spotted this little number on V for Vintage and knew I had to share it with you girls.
