Office to Christmas Party in 2min

3 Closet Staples to take from the Office Right to Your Holiday Fetes

Because our holiday schedules mean we've got only moments to spare when we're running home from the office and then out to our respective parties, dressing for events becomes more of a chore than the fun task we think it should be. Instead of having the time to prep our favorite party wear, we're stressing over what we can throw on to get out the door in a flash. We're here to set you straight — being efficient and looking great don't have to be mutually exclusive, especially when you plan ahead. To play it smart, we've narrowed it down to three of our favorite closet essentials that are easy to take from daytime on the job to our after-hours parties. Chances are you already have each of these pieces in your closet, but to help you work out the details and inspire your best holiday looks yet, you'll want to click through for all the styling and day-to-night shopping.

The Pencil Skirt

This Vince Pencil Skirt ($195) is perfect for pulling double duty — and chances are you already have one like it in your closet. Give it a cozy look for daytime at the office with a chunky turtleneck and Chelsea boots, then switch it up for party time with a peplum top (to accentuate your waist), metallic accents, and a pair of ankle-strap heels.

Day:
Nili Lotan Chunky Turtleneck Sweater ($455)
Loeffler Randall Mini Bag ($395)
Marc by Marc Jacobs Chelsea Boots ($450)

Night:
Topshop Lace Peplum Corset ($72)
Diane von Furstenberg Lytton Small Metallic Clutch ($325)
Zara Studded Vamp Heel and Ankle Strap ($129)

The Shift Dress

J.Crew's Jules Stretch-Wool Twill Shift Dress ($198) is the perfect piece to have on hand for all of your winter styling needs. Take it to the office with tights and printed flats — and a great little leather jacket to top it off. For cocktails, give it a dressed-up makeover with megawatt jewels, a pretty clutch, and pointed-toe pumps (bonus points for a pair with a little extra sparkle!).

Day:
Sarah Berman Rudy Zip-Detailed Leather Jacket ($385)
BCBG Max Azria Astor Leather Crossbody Bag ($84)
Steven by Steve Madden Vegass Leopard Ballet Flat ($90)

Night:

The 7 Holiday Party Staples Every Girls Should Have At the Ready

Trousers

A polished pair of printed pants, like these J.Crew Cafe Floral-Print Wool-and-Silk-Blend Capri Pants ($595) will serve you well all season. They're easy to give a more office-appropriate tilt with a classic blazer, tote, and pumps — but just as easy to style up for a night out with a faux fur, a chain-strap bag, and some seriously sexy footwear.

Day:
Topshop Ponte Boyfriend Blazer ($70)
Alexander Wang Pelican Satchel ($985)
Zara Leather High-Heeled Court Shoe ($90)

Night:
Mango Faux Fur Jacket ($130)

Best and Worst BB Creams

A year ago, we'd never even heard of BB creams and then, much like Jennifer Lawrence, BB creams were all anyone could talk about. And while you may now be spotting BB creams on the shelves of your local drugstores and specialty beauty boutiques, not many of us really know what this suddenly-trendy product promises to do.
The "BB" stands for blemish balm in Asia, where this multi-tasking product first gained popularity, but in the States "BB" stands for beauty balm.  BB creams are touted as do-it-all products that promise to replace a host of items on your vanity; think foundation, serum, moisturizer, primer, and SPF. Plus, you can pair a favorite BB cream with tinted moisturizer or powder for additional coverage.
But before you head out, determined to come back a BB cream devotee, take my advice and pick one of theses BB creams



Love it! L'Oreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB creamSurprisingly good describes Magic Skin Beautifier BB cream best. This four-in-one cream primes, perfects, hydrates and corrects skin. Available in a variety of hues chock-full of encapsulated pigments that cover skin imperfections, this BB cream also acts as an ultra-light lotion and contains vitamins C and  E. Get it for about $8 at local drugstores and Walmart.

 

Love it! Jane Iredale Glow Time Full Coverage Mineral BB Cream
Recommended by the Skin Cancer foundation as an effective UVA/UVB sunscreen, the recently released "Glow Time" is a full coverage mineral BB cream with an SPF 25 rating.  This product covers blemishes while minimizing pores and wrinkles, plus it smoothes and brightens skin in a variety of shades. Anti-aging ingredients, including apple extract, bitter orange extract, grapefruit extract, aloe leaf juice, honeysuckle extract, and sunflower seed oil, control oil while soothing and calming skin. Get it for $48 at shopjaneiredale.com or at local medical spas.

 

Dr. Jart+ Black Label Detox BB cream (and more)Amongst the first BB creams available in the US, Korean brand, Dr. Jart just released a BB sampler ideal for women ready to try a BB cream but not sure where to start. The four-piece set includes Dr. Jart's classic BB cream plus waterfuse BB cream, Black Label Detox BB cream and an anti-aging BB cream. Get it for $34 at Sephora.

 

Love it! Embryolisse BB Cream For those with oily skin, Embryolisse's BB cream is more gel-like than many of its counterparts. Best of all, this product also boasts AHAs or fruit acids to help eliminate dead skin cells  gently, plus mineral powder pearls that absorb excess oil and reflect light, leaving skin aglow. Embryolisse's BB Cream calls upon hyaluronic acid to plump and firm skin. Get it for $39 at embryolisseusa.com.

 

Love It! Pixi Illuminating Tint & Conceal BB creamPixi's BB cream is a tinted moisturizer, concealer and hydrator with an SPF 20 rating, and it boasts significantly more coverage than many of the other beauty balms we tried. Free of fragrance, talc and oil,  the unique roller applicator and SPF 20 protection provides ample coverage with skin-saving ingredients. Get it for $30 at pixibeauty.com.

 

Love It! Garnier BB CreamIt has moisturizers, Vitamin C and SPF 15 sun protection. Plus, at about $12 at local drugstores, Garnier's BB Cream is ideal for those who want to try a beauty balm without breaking the bank. Available in two shades, light/medium and medium/deep, Garnier's BB Cream earned an affordable two thumbs up

 

Love It! HydroPeptide's SPF 30 Anti-Wrinkle Skin Enhancing UV Protection
 is a surprisingly good BB cream thanks in part to self-adjusting, color-changing spheres that blend into skin flawlessly and serve up ample coverage. A hydrating blend of Niacin and aloe deliver hydration and super antioxidants while green tea and acai berry counteract damage to skin. Multi-tasking Galanga root controls oil production while boosting this formula's UV protection factor. And as a side note, the scent is slightly citrusy and seriously addictive. Get it for $40 at hydropeptide.com

Love It! Smashbox Camera Ready  
has gained a huge following of loyal beauty addicts. And while the product acts as a moisturizer, primer, concealer, and foundation, like a good BB cream should, it earns rave reviews for a "progressive" coverage formula, meaning that you can achieve different levels of coverage depending on how you wear it. SPF 35. Get it for $39 at Sephora or for 33€ at Douglas

DO NOT TRY THESE:

Leave it. Maybelline Dream Fresh 8-in-1 BB Cream
This product was decidedly un-dreamy and does little to perfect skin.
Leave it. Vivo Beauty BalmJust terrible and doesn't work.
Leave it. Origins A Perfect World BB CreamMakes your skin feeling stiff and the finish is very unnatural.

DIY NAIL POLISH STORAGE IDEA

It’s fall cleaning time, girls!! Are you, like me, completely obsessed with nailpolish? Here’s a fancy little idea by the beautydepartment.com for storing your nail polish collection. We all love to have a few favorite colors sitting out on the vanity but since nail art has become such a huge trend, you may be the proud owner of LOTS of polishes. In this DIY, you’ll basically be giving a shoe box a quick “pretty paper” makeover and then filling it up with your polish. But instead of just throwing your polishes in the box, we’re going to put dots on top so you can keep the box nice and neat! Here we go:

photos/post/graphic design: Kristin Ess

1. Find an old shoe box. Plain ones work just the same, but try finding one with a little charm! I grabbed this one because it had this pretty bright coral color on the inside!
2. Paint small white labels with each color of polish. Use white labels so you can really see the true color of the polish. Remember to keep the bottles lined up in the same order as the stickers so you don’t end up putting the wrong color on the wrong bottle! Once these labels with polish on them have fully dried, use a standard hole puncher to pop out circles from the label.
3. Apply the circle you punched out to the tops of the bottle.
4. Pick a pretty paper for your shoe box. I chose 2. I found this patterned gold wallpaper at the Container Store and I got gold tissue paper there, too. I’m using the gold tissue paper for the lid. It’s fun to mix + match. Pattern on pattern would probably be really fun as well.
5. Cut and wrap your shoe box. I used spray adhesive from the craft store to attach the paper to my shoe box, but if you don’t have that you can just use scotch tape.
6. FILLERUP! Place the polishes in the shoe box in any order you want. I usually go rainbow-y so particular colors are easier to locate.
