Marrow Fine Sapphire Linear Band, $5,000; marrowfine.com 02 of 29 Super Smalls Play Shoes Super Smalls Andrea Lavinthal, Style and Beauty Director: My almost five-year-old daughter loves to play with my shoes and of course she goes for my fanciest high heels. As cute as she looks teetering around in them, I worry that she (and my Choos) will sustain an injury. These Super Smalls play shoes, which have gems in the heels!, are a safer (and frankly, more fabulous) alternative.Buy It! Super Smalls Daydream Queen Play Shoes, $36; supersmalls.com 03 of 29 Rails Sweat Set Rails Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: Valentine's Day dates look a little different with two young children, but at least I'll appear put together while doing school drop off, birthday parties and baking class cookies in this chic and cozy Rails set with pink embroidered hearts that's so soft I'll likely fall asleep in it too. I'm also surprising my mom and sister with the 'fit. Buy It! Rails Ramona Sweatshirt, $158, and Kingston Sweatpants, $148; rails.com 04 of 29 Vosges Chocolates Vosges Haut Chocolat Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: Nothing says "love you, mean it" like a beyond-deluxe box of gorgeous, high-end chocolates.

Buy Now $125 05 of 29 Khaite Jeans Khaite Andrea Lavinthal, Style and Beauty Director: I recently got married and my friends gave me these jeans as a wedding gift (cue the Golden Girls theme song) and while I’d love to tell you they’re not worth the price, I can’t. They’re fantastic. The “Danielle” style has a high-rise, straight-leg cut with a 33-inch inseam that makes your legs look Kendall Jenner long. As a tall person, I can wear them with flats and heels which, if you’re into fashion math, helps bring down the cost per wear. Plus, the silhouette is so classic, you’ll have them forever. Buy It! Khaite Danielle Jeans, $460; khaite.com 06 of 29 Naadam Sweater NAADAM Andrea Lavinthal, Style and Beauty Director: When you find a super-soft cashmere sweater that fits well and costs under $100, you buy one in a few colors which is why I own this Naadam crewneck in black, gray and purple. And now the brand offers customized monogramming, which makes it even more perfect for gifting (and collecting). Buy It! Naadam The Original Cashmere Sweater, $98, plus $20 for monogramming; naadam.co 07 of 29 Koio Men's Sneakers Koio Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: I have these sneakers and my husband always comments on how much he likes them. So this year I'm surprising him with his own pair from Koio's men's collection, because nothing says "I Love You" more than matching footwear, right!? Buy It! Koio Capri Sneaker, $255; people.com 08 of 29 Mignonne Gavigan Earrings Mignonne Gavigan Andrea Lavinthal, Style and Beauty Director: I haven't worn a piece of heart-shaped jewelry since pink was my favorite color (it's now yellow), but I think 12-year-old me and grownup me can agree that these oversize hammered hoops are super chic and I should be rocking them constantly. Buy It! Mignonne Gavigan "Emilie" Gold Heart Hoop Earrings, $115; mignonnegavigan.com 09 of 29 Jones Road The Nail Polish Kit Jones Road Andrea Lavinthal, Style and Beauty Director: Jones Road founder Bobbi Brown has been obsessed with red nails ever since she was on the set of a photoshoot in the '90s and a supermodel walked in in a casual outfit, barely any makeup, hair pulled back and a perfect bright red mani on her short nails. "I’ll never forget how magnetic and impossibly chic it was," she recalls. That look was the inspiration for "Poppy," the vibrant red lacquer in this kit, which also comes with the prettiest sheer pink hue, plus a clear top and base coat. Buy It! Jones Road The Nail Polish Kit, $48; jonesroad.com (available Feb. 6) 10 of 29 VIAVIA Jeans VIAVIA Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: My hunt for the perfect relaxed fit, coated jeans has ended thanks to this super-comfortable and flattering pair from VIAVIA, a cult-favorite online shopping destination which offers an amazing curated selection of rising global brands alongside its own line of Italian-made streetwear. I plan to wear these pants with a bodysuit, statement belt and combat boots for a night out, but they also look just as cute with Adidas Sambas and a sweater for school drop-off. Buy It! VIAVIA The High + Straight Jean In Manhattan Shine, $168; viavia.live 11 of 29 Leatherology Jewelry Case Leatherology Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: On a recent trip with my mother, she called my current travel jewelry storage method "disgraceful." Besides being funny, it's also true, and I have the misplaced hoop earring to prove it. I'm asking for this thoughtful organizer (with snaps to keep necklaces from tangling and slots for studs, chunkier necklaces, rings and more) in this can't-miss-it shade of cherry red so I can treat my nice jewelry right. Buy Now $130 12 of 29 Rhode Peptide Lip Tints Set Courtesy Rhode Beauty Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: There's a reason this lip tints set continues to sell out — the non-sticky formula is super-hydrating (thanks to the hero ingredient shea butter) and glides onto the lips with a rich, glossy tint. It's the ultimate date night product — just ask Rhode founder Hailey Bieber. Buy It! Rhode Peptide Lip Tints, $58; rhodeskin.com 13 of 29 David Yurman Ring David Yurman Ring. David Yurman Jackie Fields, Deputy Beauty Director: Due to a recent setback with online dating (it would appear there is not one man who can string together a complete sentence, but I digress) I am single this Valentine's Day. But that's okay, because I have been in my "treat yo'self" era for a while now. This 2/14 I am eyeing this garnet heart ring from David Yurman, because what better way to tell myself how much "I deserve the world" than to stare at this gem of an accessory all day long? Buy It! David Yurman Chatelaine Heart Ring, $895 - $1,020; davidyurman.com 14 of 29 minnow Knit Sweater minnow Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: I'm a sucker for a matching mommy-and-me moment. Enter minnow, a chic family lifestyle brand (Reese Witherspoon, Lily Aldridge and Kate Hudson are all big fans!) that recently launched knit sweaters for both women and kids for Valentine’s Day.

Buy It! minnow Unisex Strip Knit Sweater, $75; minnowswim.com 15 of 29 Max Mara Cashmere Hat ACCESSORI/ MaxMara Alex Apatoff, Executive Editor: There is nobody on this planet that wouldn't be happy to receive a luxe cashmere hat.

Buy Now $60 19 of 29 Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick Courtesy Charlotte Tilbury Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: Since we're all wearing red lips now in solidarity with the Patron Saint of Red Lipstick Taylor Swift, I've added this new Charlotte Tilbury launch to the top of my rotation.

Crystal Head Vodka, $47.99; totalwine.com 25 of 29 OTM Bag OTM Collection Brittany Talarico, Deputy Style Director: I've needed a new travel makeup case and finally treated myself to this style, which is the perfect size for a back-back or carry-on.
