1. Rhinestones for days

Free People, Lena Star Drop Earrings

Price: $78 · From Free People

Big, bold baubles for day are the must-have jewelry trend for holiday and beyond. (Style Hint: We love these star chandeliers with comfy sweaters and jeans at holiday parties as much as any party dress.)

2. Faux fur bags

Pixie Market, Faux Fur Pull Through Bag

Price: $108 · From Pixie Market

If baskets were summer's "it" bag, the snuggly pouch is winter's current obsession. She'll know it and wonder how you read her mind. (Style Hint: The surprise texture of this bag elevates the comfiest knit pants and makes shimmery party dresses feel playful and relaxed.)

3. Essential reading

"Gucci: The Making Of" by Frida Giannini

Price: $100 · From Urban Outfitters

This gift is so Gucci! (Sorry we couldn't resist.) Fashion fans will adore this visually rich book that includes thought-provoking essays and insider anecdotes with never before seen commentary and gorgeous, archival photos. (Gifting Hint: Wrap this in black paper and use red and green ribbon to recreate the iconic stripe.)

4. Classics re-imagined

Tretorn, Nylitefly Sneaker

Price: $100 · From Free People

Sleek Tretorns get pumped up with a new chunky and extra cushiony heel. (Style Hint: Give these with a pair of fashion-forward socks.)

5. Sequins, sequins, sequins

Free People, Night Shimmer Mini Dress

Price: $108 · From Free People

Dazzle her with the season's most glam look: High-caliber sparkle! We love this mini-dress because of its contrasting color scheme that pops against a sea of LBDs. (Style Hint: While this is technically a mini-dress we see it as a tunic that can be worn over leggings or jeans.)

6. Statement belt

B-Low the Belt, Blake Velvet Belt

Price: $89.60 to $128 · From Shopbop

When in doubt give something velvet. It's trendy, timeless and feels luxurious. (Style Hint: Add instant chic to any outfit with this regal jewel-toned belt. We love to see it as the focal point of a head-to-toe black, white or even unexpected colors like red!)

7. Ombre lucite

Mango, Geometric Heel Leather Ankle Boots

Price: $149.99 · From Mango

Give the gift of being a step ahead of a trend. This summer we saw a lot of clear Lucite. Now it's all about ombre Lucite and these boots will be irresistible to fashion lovers. (Style Hint: High-shine boots play well with sleek separates. Wear these with sexy leather pants or coated denim.)

8. Rainbow sets

Free People, Everyday Rhinestone Hoop Set

Price: $28 · From Free People

Earring sets are a gifting trend we can't enough of because they offer so many options. (Style Hint: When earrings have the same pattern -- in this case rainbow -- feel free to wear different shapes at the same time. We love bars with "climbers" -- earrings that go up your ear -- or hoops with bars or a combination. The choice is yours.)

9. The bag lifesaver

The Handbag Raincoat, Large City Slicker

Price: $20 · From Shopbop

This gift is the perfect one for all the times she's covered her handbag with her coat! (Style Hint: This is the kind of gift you'll want to give to all your fashion-forward friends, but we suggest buying one for yourself, too!)

10. A hint of luxe

Mango, Fur Zipped Cuff

Price: $39.99 · From Mango

Removable faux-fur cuffs add instant elegance to any top, and let's face it, they're just fun to wear. (Style Hint: We love the versatility of these cuffs! We see them with classic wool coats, denim jackets — even with long gloves.)
